Meet Renegade, a beautiful soul who embodies resilience and the spirit of survival! 🌟 This captivating girl joined the rescue family back in 2015 when she was just a young pup, around 4 to 6 months old. Rescued from dire circumstances, Renegade was on the urgent list at a Kansas City shelter, where her lack of previous human interaction led her to be quite a fierce little defender! 🐾 Initially, she would defend herself like the warrior she is—her name truly fits! When staff tried to interact, she put on her best 'do not approach' face, ready to scare anyone away. But give her a little time and love, and everything changed. Slowly but surely, Renegade learned to trust, and now she has a delightful bond with her caretakers here at the rescue! 💖 Imagine the joy in her little wagging tail and the happy dances she does when it's playtime with her friends in the shelter. Renegade loves being showered with affection and treats, even sneaking in some sweetness in the form of little kisses! But she still has that protective instinct when it comes to strangers—she’ll let out a courageous growl to protect her space. 🐶💪 Here's the truth: Renegade is looking for a special someone, someone who understands that her heart is a treasure map that takes patience to explore. To forge a bond with her, potential adopters must come to meet her at least 2-3 times a week for 3-6 weeks—this process is vital for overcoming her trust and fear issues. Her perfect match will be a skilled and understanding individual ready to embrace the beautiful, imperfect journey of earning her love. ❤️ Though Renegade is currently thriving in our care, she deserves a forever home where she can truly shine.

Let's change her story!
