My story

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

Clara Bow is a senior sweetheart with a heart of gold and a story that speaks volumes. While her past may be a mystery, her future is filled with hope and the promise of a loving forever home.

At around 12 years young, Clara Bow is a wise old soul who has seen the world through her own unique lens. Despite having limited vision and being an old girl, she doesn't let anything hold her back from enjoying life's simple pleasures. She may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings due to her limited vision, but once she feels comfortable, her spirit shines bright.

One of Clara Bow's favorite pastimes is exploring a fenced-in yard, where she can navigate at her own pace and soak in the scents of the world around her. But her true joy comes from snuggling up on a lap and feeling the gentle scratch of loving hands along her sides. She thrives on affection and human connection.

Whether she's lounging around the house or riding shotgun in the car, Clara Bow is content as long as she's by your side. She gets along famously with people and dogs alike, spreading joy wherever she goes with her sweet disposition and little tail wags that she has just added.

Clara Bow's ideal home is one filled with warmth, patience, and plenty of love. She may have her senior moments, but her heart is as young and vibrant as ever. With a soft place to land and a family who will cherish her for the precious soul she is, Clara Bow is ready to embark on the next chapter of her journey.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to this special girl, don't wait another moment. There is nothing more fulfilling than experiencing the unconditional love and gratitude that only a senior dog can offer.

Clara Bow's adoption fee is $100. Please apply at

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.
