"KISSIMI" sensitive loving Border Collie

Volunteers love  her!  KISSIMI is a sweetheart with them.

 KISSIMI does NOT present well in her kennel and often barks at the people looking in. *ok, so why would you ask to meet her?? Well maybe you are her special person who understands that Kissimi is a special dog (she is a Border Collie after all) and Maybe you could be a foster home who could offer her a safe place outside of the shelter...? that is a real option!  but mostly right now (besides the love of volunteers and the stability that she does get in the shelter)  Kissimi needs a stable, dog-experienced and committed person(s) to adopt her, who understands her body language and helps her she feels secure in various situations.

I'm Kissimi, a sweet and sensitive soul in search of a loving home. While I may feel a bit nervous around my furry counterparts, my love for people is boundless. When it comes to my human friends, I'm a social butterfly with a heart as warm as a summer day. Affection is my middle name, and I won't hesitate to ask for those belly rubs and cuddles that make life truly delightful. Now, I'll be honest - other dogs may initially make me a bit anxious. But fear not, with slow and patient introductions, I believe we can build positive connections and friendships. And since I'm a herding breed, I will need to have my body AND mind exercised daily. An adoption counselor can discuss my needs more with you if you would like to adopt me. If you're seeking a devoted companion who craves human connection and is ready to shower you with love, I'm Kissimi, eagerly waiting to be a part of your family. Let's embark on a journey of friendship, love, and countless belly rubs together

"JOJO"

A volunteer wrote (on MCAS FB)  "I love this boy! Please go to MCAS to meet Jojo, especially if you don't already have pets at home. He's a wonderful dog and it would be great for him to settle in as the only-pet and give you both time to figure out his socializing preferences. He's an energetic boy who tries to mind his manners, but he can also get excited about all the dogs and activity in the shelter. He was so cute yesterday- trying his best to sit still to let me put his harness on for a walk, even though he wanted to join in the boisterous activity of the dogs around him. I love taking him on walks. He's a strong boy so can pull if he really wants to, but he also really enjoys taking time to sniff along the way. He's a handsome dog who hasn't gotten much attention from potential adopters. Please take some time to meet him at MCAS and see if he's the soul mate for you!"

no cats

Hi, I'm Jojo! I'm a younger pittie boy who is looking for the right fit of humans and home to head out with! I'm a particular guy, meaning I might not get along with all animals or people right off the bat. With training, consistency, and good exercise, I could come around nicely! A slow introduction would be crucial for me in my new home if there are other pets present - in fact, smaller animals like cats are a no go, I am too rough with them. I've been okay around other dogs, though I like to pick my friends carefully and will need help learning that sharing is caring when it comes to food and toys. I also will teach you what pets I do and don't like, so please be gentle and slow with me, okay? Are you a good fit for me? Please come see me at the shelter, I would love it!
