Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Frannie is the kind of dog who makes an impression—between her soulful eyes and her signature hound bay, she’s not one to go unnoticed. She’s a gentle, easygoing walker with great leash manners and a big appreciation for slow strolls and sunny spots.
Frannie gets along with other dogs and enjoys calm canine company, but she’s had some ups and downs in adoptive homes. She’s been returned more than once—once for humping her canine housemate, and twice for conflicts in the home that may have been linked to resource guarding, particularly around food or resting places. The concerns were directed toward a female in the home, and though we haven’t seen similar behavior here, it’s something to be aware of.
She’s been with us at Open Door since 2021, and her longest stay in a home was just two months. We know she’s capable of so much more—but she needs the right person to help her shine. Frannie may do best in an adult-only home, ideally with a single person—possibly a man—who understands hounds, has experience with resource guarding, or is open to guidance and structure.
Frannie’s not one to stay quiet when she has something to say—she’s a barker by nature and would love a home that doesn’t mind a little background commentary.
In return, you’ll get a loyal, expressive companion who’s happiest lounging near her person, sniffing the breeze, and being included in your daily rhythm.
If interested, please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

To adopt an animal from Open Door Animal Sanctuary you must commit to provide the utmost care for our angels. We believe the perfect home is one with a lifetime commitment to the health and happiness of their adopted friend. Adequate shelter, good food, fresh water and regular veterinary care are necessities and we have one more key requirement - at least 100 kisses a day for the life of your new family member!
We screen potential adopters thoroughly before sending any our babies home. Every home goes through a homecheck and must be approved by our homecheck team before we allow our animals to be adopted. We work hard to know the personalities of our furry guests and to understand each of them so that we are prepared to help you find the best fit for your lifestyle. Our goal is to make the best match possible to ensure a happy lifetime in your home. If you're a kind and caring family looking for a pet, please come and visit us. We'll help you find the perfect match!
The adoptable pets listing here is only a partial one. It's tough to keep up pics and bios for the very large number of wonderful pets we have for you to choose. If you don't see what you're looking for or if you have a particular pet in mind, please give us a call. Just because you don't find it listed doesn't mean we don't have just the pet for you!
Our adoption area is generally a 100 mile radius of the St. Louis area. It is important for us to have the opportunity to assist people in their homes with their new pet if needed and even more critical that as a no-kill shelter, we can readily "retrieve" our friends if something happens in the future. Thanks for understanding.
Our adoption fee is $120. That includes all necessary shots up to the date of adoption, spaying/neutering, wormings, flea/tick preventative, and microchip. Our cats are tested for feline leukemia and FIV (feline aids). Dogs are tested for heartworms and receive heartworm preventatives. We provide our animals with lots of socialization with people and with each other. One word of warning - our babies are frequently spoiled by our animal-loving staff and volunteers. We try to make sure that we provide them with everything we can - but WE NEED YOU to provide a LOVING FUR-EVER HOME
