PRAY FOR US WHITE DOG FAMILIES.

One minute Waffle was living his best purse-dog life—clean, fluffy, and looking like he should be carried into brunch.

The next minute he discovered mud.

Now he spends his days rooting around the yard like a tiny piglet searching for truffles and returns home looking like he survived 2015 Coachella.

Bath count this week: 47

Regrets: 0

Shame: absolutely none

Please keep us in your thoughts during this difficult time.

🐢 Meet Turtle 🐢

Turtle is an English Bulldog/American Bully mix built like a little tank and powered entirely by love, snacks, and emotional attachment.

✅ Pros:
• Professional cuddler
• Always happy to see you
• Great listener
• Exercise buddy
• Certified good boy
• House and kennel trained
• LOVES other dogs

⚠️ Cons
• You will never eat another meal unsupervised
• Believes personal space is a government conspiracy
• Insists on always being the little spoon
• Will follow you into the bathroom for “moral support”
• Makes leaving the house emotionally difficult
• Will set a new expectation for unconditional love

Turtle is looking for a family who appreciates goofy smiles, bulldog snorts, and having a permanent shadow with four legs.

Parker isn’t the dog who barks the loudest or pushes to the front of the kennel…
he’s the one quietly waiting, hoping someone finally sees him.

At around 2 years old and 35 pounds, he’s past the chaos and into the good part — house trained, dog friendly, and just wants to be near his person. The kind of dog who fits into your life without turning it upside down.

And yet… he’s still here.

We don’t understand it either.

Parker is the kind of dog people say they’re looking for — easy, loyal, and full of quiet love. He just needs someone to give him a chance.

📍 Apply to adopt: marqkc.org
📩 Please share — his person might not know he’s waiting.

Mia survived the streets… and motherhood. At just 2 years old, this little pug mix found herself pregnant, homeless, and on her own. No safety net, no soft landing—just instincts and a whole lot of heart.

And she delivered.
Raised her babies. Kept them safe. Sent them off to their new lives.

Now?
Mia is officially retired from motherhood and ready for her next chapter:
✨ being adored
✨ sleeping in actual beds
✨ never worrying about anything ever again

She’s sweet, soulful, and has that “I’ve been through it but still love people” kind of energy that just hits you right in the heart…she just needs someone to choose her.

Adopt Mia. Give her the life she never got to have. ❤️

Whoever ends up adopting Chester is going to win the pup lottery! 🍀🐾
This sweet boy is under a year old, super friendly, and the best snuggle buddy in town.

He loves other dogs, has made fast friends with every cat he’s met, and is already learning his basic commands.

Chester is an active little guy on his adorably stubby legs—he’s the perfect mix of playful energy and laid-back cuddles.

Our best guess on breed is Pug mix…If you’re looking for a happy, loving companion, Chester is your guy.

Rio is a shy, sweet girl who just needs a little time—and then she’ll be yours forever.

At just under a year old and 50 lbs, she’s house trained, kennel trained, and has great manners. She loves other dogs and would do best with a confident canine buddy to help her keep building confidence.

Once she trusts you, she bonds deeply and becomes your shadow.

✨ The best dogs are worth a little patience—and Rio is so worth it.
