The lovely Miss Mae is waiting to meet you! Mae is a beautiful one year old border collie mix who is the perfect size at 40 pounds. Does she have a little husky in there with that beautiful blue eye and silver tips on her fur? Could be! Mae is playful and fun-loving, with lots of puppy energy still going on. She is smart and learns quickly, is people oriented and likes staying close by. She would greatly enjoy another dog to play with and to keep her company when her people leave. She is housetrained, doggie door trained, walks well on a leash and is good in the car. She will enjoy a fenced yard, or lots of walks and play time. She does not require crating and is well behaved in the house when left. She enjoys balls and chew toys and will even toss the ball for herself! What a ham! At night she sleeps well in her own bed or will join you in yours if you invite her. She has met a number of children and done well with them. Mae has a heart of gold and would love a family to call her own!
If you'd like to meet Mae, please fill out an adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ITMD/Dog. Mae is spayed and fully up to date on shots and preventatives. Her adoption fee is $325.00.

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
If your pup is under 4 pounds or an extra large breed at the age we typically alter our dogs, she or he might need to wait to be altered until the pup reaches a more appropriate age. This is to ensure that the pup is large enough to undergo anesthesia and old enough to not stunt the puppy's growth. If so, we will ask you to sign a spay/neuter contract. We will refer you to a low cost spay neuter program in your area. Sixty dollars will be reimbursed when the procedure is completed.
All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
