Story

Hello there, I'm Moira!! I was abandoned on a county road out in the country and I am just a baby!! Luckily I found a home that the humans were sweet to me and have fed me, took me to the vet and have taken care of me. I am 5 months old and sweet as pie, have the sweetest kisses and am so excited to get belly rubs, unfortunately I am not good with chickens and that is why I need to find a new home! I am great with all other animals (cats, dogs) and all humans! I currently have to stay tied up so I don't eat the chickens and I would love a place that doesn't have them so I don't have to be tied up. I don't wonder, I am potty trained and really I am the best dog! You know you want to rehome me!!!

Story

Penny is a very sweet bull terrier with a rough past. She was rescued in 2021 after being abandoned by her first rescuer, where she had previously been severely abused. Penny is very sweet with women and children but is occasionally aggressive with other dogs and men, which we believe is due to her past. She loves to cuddle, play with toys, and go for walks. She is the perfect dog for someone with no other pets.

Story

TO GOOD HOME: 9 Month Old German Shepherd for rehoming. Our older German shepherd did not take to him so here we are. He’s a great dog! Once he trusts you, he’s your best friend. Protective instincts (just like most GS dog - intimidating). Listens to commands (sit, no, ect). House broke, kennel broke, lots of energy still as he’s still just a pup. Breaks our heart to have to get rid of him, but two male GS’s isn’t going to work in our home. He’s free as long as we assure it’s a good fit for him. All shots and heart warmer up-to-date.

Jack

Labrador Retriever Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 9 mos

Poplar Bluff, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jack (DOB: 9/21) was brought to the shelter 9/22, as an owner surrender, at 1 year old. He was hit by a vehicle and suffered injuries requiring surgery which his owner could not afford. He has long since recovered from his physical injuries and wants nothing more than to find a special home suited to his needs. He weighs 70 lbs. Jack knows the basic commands of sit and shake. He is eager to please and has decent focus, so if someone is willing to work with him, he could definitely make progress in this area. Jack is a powerful dog who tends to pull on his walks, so his leash manners are also a work in progress. Jack is wonderful with humans and really loves people. However, due to his strength and size, placement with smaller children would not be advised. Jack does not do well with other animals, so Jack would need to be the only animal in the home. In the shelter, Jack resides in a calm, controlled room with a TV and music, away from other dogs as a result of his reactivity to other dogs. He is walked alone and exercises in a play area without other dogs. His very special adopter would need previous experience with large breed dogs who can have tendencies to be extremely strong, energetic, resourceful, agile, and determined. The preferred adopter will need to reinforce consistent structure, develop his obedience skills, and socialize him in new environments and work on his reactivity to other dogs. The reason we adore this boy is that he will reel you in with his soft eyes and adorable jowly face. If you sit in his room for five minutes, he will snuggle up against you like he just can't get close enough. Bring him a treat, and watch his eyes get the size of half dollars while he slowly takes the treat as gentle as a lamb. He is extremely attached to his emotional support squeaky toy so more of those in his new home is a must. Jack is the kind of dog who will be intensely devoted to his family; a true velcro dog. Jack is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Jack has not been crate trained but only goes to the bathroom outside of his confined space. It's highly likely he could be house trained.
