Can’t commit to adopting an animal or fostering them until they’re adopted? Maybe our new virtual foster program is a fit for you ✨🐶 How it works: You pick up a dog from our facility in Sedalia and spent a few hours with them (maybe even have a sleepover!) After your outing, you provide us pictures and videos for their profile and social media as well as info about their personality. That’s it! It’s a win-win-win: a win for the animals because they get a break from the kennel, a win for you because you get to hang out with an awesome dog, and a win for us because we have info that makes a dog more adoptable. ❤️ Flaco here got to spend the afternoon with a virtual foster! We learned he’s a gentle boy who loves fetch and lounging in the backyard (and we think he’s potty trained!) If this program sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out a foster application at 4p4l.org! #4paws4life #virtualfoster #fostersneeded #fosterssavelives #adoptashelterpet #petsinneed (fb)

🐶 Meet Zakiah — the shoulder-snuggling, puppy-playing, cat-respecting cutie you’ve been waiting for! 🐾 At just 5 months old, Zakiah has already come a long way. This handsome guy started off shy, but thanks to the playful energy of his foster siblings, he’s found his confidence and is now all about tail wags and zoomies! 🐕 Zakiah is great with other dogs, peacefully coexists with cats (he's curious but respectful), and is a true gentleman when it comes to food — no resource guarding and no rush to gobble. He’s kennel trained, sleeps through the night with a puppy buddy, and is well on his way to being house-trained. But let’s talk about his real superpower: snuggles. Zakiah loves to curl up for naps and has even learned to rest his head sweetly on your shoulder — guaranteed to melt your heart. 💕 He’ll also make sure your home stays safe by alerting you with a bark if someone’s outside. Brave, smart, and loyal — the full package! Zakiah was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico after being dumped from a truck with his siblings. Now he’s safe, thriving, and searching for a family to love him forever.
