Reba

Meet Reba! <br/><br/>Reba is a precious 3-year-old brindle Chihuahua with the cutest little apple-shaped head and a heart that's just waiting to bloom weighing about 7lbs.<br/><br/>She recently came to Day of the Dogs from a breeder release in southern Missouri, where life was very different from what it means to be a cherished family pet. <br/><br/>Reba is naturally a little shy and reserved when meeting new people. She isn't the type to run right up for attention, but she is gentle and allows herself to be picked up and handled. With a little patience and a lot of love, we believe she'll continue to gain confidence and let her sweet personality shine.<br/><br/>She is currently living in a foster home with multiple dogs and cats and is doing well with everyone. Having other confident dogs around seems to help her feel more comfortable, so we'd love to see her in a home with another friendly canine companion who can continue showing her the ropes.<br/><br/>Like many breeder-release dogs, Reba is experiencing so many "firsts" right now. Every day brings new sights, sounds, and experiences, and she's taking it all in one step at a time.<br/><br/>The family who adopts Reba won't just be giving her a home—they'll have the incredible privilege of watching her discover what it truly means to be loved.<br/><br/>There's something incredibly special about earning the trust of a shy dog. Watching them blossom, seek out affection, and realize they're finally safe is one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable.<br/><br/>If you have a patient heart and are looking for a quiet, gentle companion to grow alongside you, Reba may be the perfect little girl for your family. <br/><br/>Basics: She is a spayed female guessed to be around 3 yrs old and she weighs close to 7lbs. She is currently in a foster home in Overland Park, KS with other dogs and cats <br/><br/>Adoption Process: <br/>- Please fill out our adoption application: https://www.dayofthedogs.org/adoption-application <br/><br/>- One of our team members will get back to you via phone. <br/>- Our dogs can be seen by appointment only. We do not have a facility at this time. Dogs are in foster homes or boarding <br/>- Adoption fee helps to cover transport costs, spay/neuter, initial vaccines, rabies, fecal, initial worming, and microchip. <br/>-We do not place holds on our dogs. Please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt. NOTE: We are very good about updating the pet's profiles once adopted. So no need to write us to ask "Is he/she still available?" If the post is up, the dog is still available. <br/><br/>About Day of the Dogs<br/>Day of the Dogs is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping shelter and rescue dogs find safety, families, and second chances.<br/>Founded in 2015 by a Kansas City native, Day of the Dogs began after Pam moved to Houston, Texas and witnessed firsthand the devastating shelter overcrowding crisis facing southern communities, where some shelters have only days to find an outcome for homeless pets.<br/>Today, Day of the Dogs coordinates life-saving transports from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other southern areas to rescue partners, shelters, fosters, and adopters in Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City region — communities where adoption demand can help create better outcomes for pets in need. We also focus on long stay dogs in the Greater Kansas City and surrounding rural areas to help those pets get out of kennels and into homes.<br/>We also facilitate direct adoptions through our foster networks in both Kansas City and Northwest Indiana and partner with shelters and rescue organizations across Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana to save more lives together.<br/>Because every open foster home creates another opportunity to save a dog, we are always looking for foster families to join our mission.<br/>Day of the Dogs operates entirely on donations. Every transport, veterinary appointment, supply purchase, and life saved is possible because of supporters who believe every dog deserves a chance.<br/><br/>Donate or learn more: www.dayofthedogs.org
