Adopt a pet (April 30, 2016)

Optimus Prime, a 2-year-old male American pit bull terrier mix, is available for adoption from Kansas Humane Society..

My name is Optimus Prime and I’m here to save the world from the evil Decepticons. OK, maybe not by myself. But with you by my side I know we can do anything. I’d love to have a best friend to run and play with. I’m what the staff here at KHS call a “Go Getter” which means I’ve got tons of energy. So let’s go get a Frisbee or a tennis ball. Race ya to the dog park. Ready. Set. Go.

Also available:

▪ Cha Cha, 1-year-old female shih tzu mix

Haven’t mastered that sultry hair flip? Here, let me show you. If you can’t tell from my picture, all the dogs here are jealous of my fancy hairdo. Can you believe I was found on the streets? It’s true. Now I’m searching for someone who can give me the comfy-cozy home I’ve always wanted. Could it be you? Come see me today. Our happily ever after could begin with a simple trip to the Humane Society.

▪ Blair, 1-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

I like to think I’m running the show down here at KHS. My cat friends and I are having a great time, but I would really love to go home soon. I’ve got a fun and confident personality, and I do everything in a big way. I like to be noticed, and when you’re as cute and spunky as I am, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m adventurous, but I’ll always make plenty of time for affection and purrs for you. Need some spice in your life? I will be that and much more.

▪ Mighty Cat, 3-year-old male cat, domestic shorthair mix

Looking to add a little love to your family? Just add me. I get along with just about everyone. I’ve lived with dogs and other cats before. I get along great with older children and adults, but the young ones kind of frighten me. I am sure after a little bit of time we will be the best of buds. If only you’d give me a chance. Come see me today at the Kansas Humane Society.

▪ Howie, 2-year-old male cat, domestic shorthair

My name is Howie. I’m a super sweet boy, but somehow I found myself wandering without a home. Could you maybe change that for me? If you give me a chance, I promise I’ll be the perfect sidekick for you. I’ll love being by your side and helping you with your daily activities. I also enjoy my solitude and cat naps. Playing is fun too. Do you have a feather wand? I love those. Head on up to KHS and meet me today.
