Adopt a pet (March 12, 2016)

Bear, a 1-year-old male pit bull terrier mix, is available for adoption from Kansas Humane Society.

Hey there. I’m Bear. Do you wanna play? I just love to play. The folks here at the shelter call me the “life of the party.” My family brought me in last month because they didn’t have enough time to play with me. So now I’m searching for a new best friend, someone who has just as much energy as I do. I’d gladly accompany you on a jog around the neighborhood or play fetch in the backyard. Then after we’re done playing we can curl up together and watch a movie. “Air Bud” is my favorite. Plus I’m already house-trained. I promise to be a “beary”good boy. Come visit me today.

Gucci, 4-year-old male pit bull terrier mix

What girl doesn’t want Gucci? I’m way more fun than a purse, but I’m just as stylish. With these good looks I’m sure to turn some heads. Everyone here at the shelter tells me how handsome I am. But I’m still searching for that special someone to give me a second chance. I’m a member of the Lonely Hearts Club, which means I’ve been wanting a home for a while now, but I’m not giving up hope. I just know someone will see what an awesome dog I am and give me a home of my own. Could it be you?

Nadine, 1-year-old female pit bull terrier mix

Have you ever met a sweeter girl than me? I think not. I’m as sweet as they come. In fact the staff here at the humane society think I’m so great, someone already offered to pay my adoption fee. Now all I need is a nice family that can love me and give me a home of my own. Maybe we could take some long walks together or play fetch. Or just cuddle on the couch for a while. I know that no matter what we do, I’ll be happy just to be with you. Come meet me today and let the fun begin.

Butterbean, 6-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

I’m a sweet kitty looking for a nice home where people will love me. I’m what the shelter staff call a “private investigator,” so I may take a moment to warm up. Once we become friends, I’ll never leave your side. I promise that I won’t be any trouble. I’m just looking for love, affection, a warm place in the winter, and a cool place in the summer. Could it be your place? Come visit me, so we can discuss things further. You’ll really like me.

Chi Chi, 1-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

Looking for top-of-the-line company? I’m the girl for you. When it comes to relationships, you can’t go wrong with a love like mine. I’ll be your loyal friend for life. I’ll enjoy spending lots of time with you. I also like my solitude at times, to reflect on life and cat nap on the window sill. If you are looking for a steady friend to travel with you on the ride called life, look no further.
