About Dogs Deserve Better - MO

We are a 501c3 not for profit organization dedicated to bringing chained and penned dogs into the home and family. Many times an owner will simply ask us to take the dog and find it an inside home. So many of these poor dogs have never been to a vet and these expenses add up quite quickly. We always test for heartworm/parasites and treat if they test positive, we always spay/neuter before adoption and all are up to date on vaccines.
We do accept donations and are always looking for good homes for our rescued friends. These dogs deserve a life free from chaining and penning and are so appreciative af any and all affection and Love they recieve.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
