My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Alexander is a handsome 7-year-old Pit Bull/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. We originally rescued him as a baby in 2017, and he found a wonderful home shortly after! Sadly, 5 years later, his owner's health declined and he was brought back to us. Alex was so well-loved and treated like a little prince. He is a pro at eating treats and making his people laugh. He is a little shy with new people and will take some time to warm up, but once he does he is very loyal! The only thing Alex asks for in his future home is that he be your only child. He was so happy in his previous home as the only child that he craves all the attention for himself. We promise he will give you so much love back! He is missing the feeling of having a home and would love to find one again.

More about this shelter

The mission of the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri is to aid in the alleviation of distress and suffering of animals by operating a shelter in need of care, placing animals in suitable homes, and offering educational programs that promote animal welfare.

We receive our animals from people giving up their pets for a variety of reasons, including changes in family situations and moving. Some of our animals have been strays rescued from the streets by a kind citizen, but all of our animals are looking for permanent, loving forever homes.
