Story
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by to see my bio. My name is Tex. I am a six month Australian Cattle Dog (red heeler) and possible Catahoula mix. My owner sent out a Facebook post for someone to come get me or else. I don't know what else but a concerned lady came over amd picked me up. I have been fostered in her home with four kids and other dogs. I have a lot of fun playing with everyone. I also really like to snuggle on the couch. I am a puppy and I do have a lot of energy. I would like a yard to play in, a couch to snuggle on, a dog friend would be awesome but most of all, my very own family.

Story
Sway, aka Swayze, is a young Australian Shepherd Mix that was taken to Dean Dog and Cat Boarding as a stray. She was unclaimed and turned over to Pet Pals. Sway loves her people BIG. Due to her past of neglect, she has a hard time sharing human affection with other fur-siblings, though she does great with cats! Sway would be a best fit for a family or individual that is looking for a best friend in dog form - but just the one best friend! Sway is such a beautiful sweet girl, and her eyes tell a story of how much she just wants to feel safe and secure with her person. Although Sway needs to be the only dog in the home, she does will with other dogs! She’s spent ample time at Dean Dog and Cat Boarding participating in group doggie daycare sessions. She just doesn’t want to share YOU in her new home!

Story
Check out Hildegard - Hildy for short! Hildy was found after she was dumped by her owner on the outskirts of Mexico MO running with another pup that she had found along her way. These two were on a whirlwind adventure and ended up finding Pet Pals! Hildy is a sweet and energetic girl. She is eager to please and just wants to know you love her! She follows you with purpose, ready to be your right hand gal whenever you need her to be! While we don't have much information on her experience inside of a home, we're sure she'd be a great addition to just about any family! She's great with other dogs and has such a gentle disposition for being such a big girl!

Story
While Mae might look like a giant, she's actually pretty short in stature! She's a hefty girl who looks like she could easily weigh 60-70lbs! Mae is as sweet as can be and loves attention, but she's not fond of sharing her human with other pets. Her ideal home would be a single man or woman that does not have other dogs or small children. She has not been tested with cats, but due to her size, we think she'd be best fit as an only fur-child. While she has not shown any aggression towards children, she is a BIG girl, and would likely be too strong for a small child. Mae does require an anxiety medication to help her feel secure. She is currently on Trazadone that has helped her tremendously! If you're interested in a loveable giant, who will need room for her BIG GIRL zoomies, consider Mae today!
