My story

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

She is still available for adoption but is currently at Jeff City Correctional Center in the Puppies for Parole program and won't be back at the shelter until April 10th.
Her previous owner had to go into a nursing home so we don't have alot of info on her. She was more than likely an outside dog as she was tied up on the property when family came to get her. She is super friendly and loves attention. She is an older dog, probably 8-9 years old, and since being at the prison, they have noticed she has some incontinence issues and is on medication for that and will have to be on it for the rest of her life. That being said, she would thrive in a home where she had alot of attention and love, maybe as being the only dog or with another low-key buddy.

More about this shelter

Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill shelter.

Since its infancy, compassionate, like-minded volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood Animal Shelter. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build its first, albeit small facility and was established as a 501(c) 3 in 1976. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.

The shelter is funded entirely from donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Animal Shelter Thrift Store.

After years of saving, planning and busting at the seams with fur-babies, in 2005 it was time to build a new facility with their own in-house clinic! Under the direction of Dr. John Reinhold and coupled with a very dedicated and gifted team of Veterinarians and staff, Dogwood Animal Shelter continues to offer low cost spays and neuters to the public as well as services to their shelter buddies; services to approximately 2,000 dogs and cats yearly!

Dogwood Animal Shelter began their journey of being a successful no-kill shelter in 1997, and since then has saved over 40,000 lives!
