Rescue Stories
Fiona
Fiona came to us very emaciated after being dumped by Fellows Lake. Despite her starvation, Fiona was a very sweet dog, with a pleasant temperament toward people. Fiona was in no shape to be adopted out, but thanks to the many generous donors who contributed supplies and medical care, she regained her proper weight and we could begin the process of finding her a forever home. Months later she found the perfect home. Finally, she is a happy dog and has a human who loves her.
Harlow
Sweet Harlow was found after being shot point blank in the head. She was rushed to the vet where she had to have surgery to remove her eye and bone fragments from her jaw. She bounced back in no time and found her forever home!
Hervil
Hervil was found in the woods by hikers. He had been shot in the head, so they immediately contacted Rescue One for help. The bullet was lodged in his nasal cavity and had to be surgically removed. After a couple of months of healing, he found a wonderful forever home!
Ingrid
When Ingrid was rescued, she was in terrible shape. She had an injury to her mouth that was very infected, as well as infected ears and skin. She was also over 20 lbs underweight. She appeared to have given up hope. Over the next several months and with aggressive treatment, she began to blossom! While her muzzle is permanently disfigured, she found her forever home and is very loved!
Jetta
Jetta came to Rescue One with 7 other dogs. She was only a couple of months old, and had a terrible injury to her nose and severe mange. She had to have surgery to be able to breathe out of her nose, and it healed wonderfully! Her skin healed as well, and shortly after that she found her forever home!
Lindy
Lindy was spotted by someone driving down the road; they could see her ribs from their car. She had a massive tumor on her back left leg that totally encased her foot. Dr. Katie Loula of Christian County vet clinic removed the 2½ lb. tumor, plus a couple of toes. In no time at all, Lindy was walking around without any issues. The hair has all grown back and you can’t even tell that she’s missing a few toes. She put on 15 pounds on in one month, making those ribs disappear. She was adopted by a family with children and now is living the dream in a suburb of Denver with a family that loves her very much!
Morgan
One of our volunteers shared Morgan’s story. She had been in a shelter in rural Arkansas for over 4 years. After seeing her face, we could not turn away from helping her. Our volunteers drove the 3 hours to get her, and after being in our care for 3 months, she found her forever home!
Topher
Topher was found after being dumped in the trash. His stomach was very enlarged, and several liters of fluid had to be drained from his stomach. He was sent to the MU Vet Hospital where he was diagnosed with Cor Triatriatum Dexter, which is a very rare birth defect. He had corrective surgery and is looking forward to living long and happy life!
Zander
Zander was rescued in Stone County. It would have been impossible to count all of the punctures on his poor body. Some of his teeth had been pulled, which is not uncommon in bait dogs. He also had a fractured scapula and broken ribs. He was hospitalized for over a week and was unable to get up for 5 days. After several months of rest and love, he recovered! He is a wonderful, loving dog.

Not to be dramatic, but I'm basically the designer upgrade your home has been missing. I'm Gucci—and yes, I'm every bit as fabulous as my name suggests.
Luxury looks a little different on me, though. Think soft fur, endless cuddles, a sweet personality, and a dining style that is uniquely mine.
I am around 7 years old, and while my journey started with some not-so-glamorous dental genetics, I've had quite the glow-up! I may not have any teeth, but that certainly hasn't stopped me from being an amazing cat. I simply enjoy my meals in a special way: I dine exclusively on finely blended wet food with extra water—smooth, delicious, and perfectly suited to a gentleman of my stature.
And when it comes to dinnerware, I have standards. I much prefer eating my food off a plate rather than from a traditional cat bowl. A gentleman deserves proper presentation, after all!
When it comes to people, I'm basically the life of the party. I adore everyone I meet! I'll confidently strut right out of my kennel like I own the place, rub against your legs, and politely insist that you pick me up. If you're looking for a cuddly companion, especially a kitty that kids can carry, snuggle, and love on, I might just be your perfect match.
I also get along beautifully with other cats and have been nothing but calm and gracious around loud, barking dogs. I'm gentle to my core and have never tried to bite or scratch. I'm simply a sweet, loving gentleman who wants to be adored.
So, if you're looking for a cat with warmth, elegance, personality, and just the right amount of fabulous flair, look no further.
Im soft. Im cuddly. Im charming. And Im always ready for my close-up.
Thats the Gucci standard.
My adoption fee is $25. This fee includes my vaccinations, FIV/FELV testing, de-wormer, spay/neuter, microchip, and flea preventative. Fill out an application at www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROS/Cat if you would like to meet me!
