Story
Cleo is a bright and happy girl hoping for her new family before the cold gets here! She is the most excited puppers whenever she sees everybody and she absolutely does not know a stranger! She was surrendered to us due to some personal issues with the owner so we do know a little about her history. She is still so young that someone could take her home and still teach her everything under the sun! She already knows how to sit, lay down (sometimes lol), walks decent on a leash given her age, and best of all, she has great recall! She has already overcame quite a bit in her short life. With the previous owner, she was hit by a car but luckily they were able to get her emergency medical help so she has zero limitations from it! Honestly nobody would know if they wouldn't have told us! She is mostly house trained if kept on a schedule and she is also kennel trained! She gets along with every single animal she comes into contact with, whether it's cats or dogs. As long as someone is willing to run and play with her she is good to go! She would make a phenomenal family dog with some kids to keep company. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come visit this happy girl! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
Chubs was called in as a stray and never claimed! He was a shy boy at first but he has really come out of his shell since being with people he can trust! He is the sweetest dog and wants nothing but love from everybody he meets. He does jump on people but it is very gentle with the slightest pressure because all he wants to do is lay his head on you and receive love. He does really good with all the other dogs here but is not a fan of being around anything that is winged (chickens especially). He does great on a leash and is a very laid back type dog. he would love nothing more than to be someone's couch potato and enjoy the good life! His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine, microchip and a heartworm test. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him! Thank you!

Story
Shadow is a quirky little fella looking for that special someone to give him a chance! He seems to not have had the best start to his young life since he shows signs of previous abuse. He can be a tad untrusting with strangers but it doesn't take him long before he's leaning his whole body on you wanting some love. He is VERY energetic and do well with a family who is active and has lots of room for him to let out his energy. He does well on a leash but jumps like he is attached to a pogo stick because he gets so excited. He would do well with some additional training for sure! He gets along well with all the other dogs. He hasn't been tested with cats but that can be done anytime. His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine, microchip and a heartworm test. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
Young, single male looking for long term commitment and love! About me: I crave approval and affection. I'm willing to give you my all if you can give me a little patience and time to get to know you. I am very social and friends with all the dogs at the park! I even like cats. I'm happy to go out anywhere, anytime or just chill and snuggle on the couch. I'm not a picky eater and am always grateful for a good meal. I love treats but prefer affection from my people even more. I am a protector of my home and pack. I really wish to please so I listen well and learn quickly. All of my human foster family agree that I'm sweet, charming, and smart - a total catch! Why am I am still available after almost a year of searching? I've been actively improving myself for months with leash manners and socialization with humans. I do have a microchip and am up to date on all vaccinations. The assets I'll come with are a kennel, bed, toys, clothes, and food. Let's meet!

Story
Hi there, I'm Frank! I'm just a pup, but I've got a heart full of love to give. My days are filled with chasing my tail, gnawing on squeaky toys, and taking long naps. I'm the kind of guy who loves a good belly rub and a game of fetch. I'm loyal to a fault, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting nuzzle. Cuddles are my favorite, especially when they're paired with a good bedtime story. I'm playful, too! I can turn any ordinary day into an adventure. I promise, if you choose me, I'll be the best friend you've ever had. I'm not just looking for a home, I'm looking for a family. A family who will love me, play with me, and let me show them just how much joy a little puppy like me can bring. I hope that family could be you. Frank's adoption fee is $275.00 which includes 3 rounds of shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative.
