Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Spirit is a young Border Collie who was adopted recently by her current owner from what that owner describes as 'a bad situation.'  Her owner says Spirit is a lovely dog but is not fitting in with the resident dogs in her current home, and so is available for adoption. While Spirit and the resident dogs in her current home do not get along, this does not mean that Spirit will react negatively to all dogs in general; however, a potential owner should be aware of this and that Spirit may want to be an only dog in her home.  She is accepting of adults and older children, but will chase cats if the opportunity arises.  Since Spirit is living in Kentucky and is not being kept on heartworm preventive, she will need to be tested for heartworm and a potential owner should make this a priority. Spirit's current owner says that she is a 'Shy loving border collie that needs someone who knows how to work with them. Might not like other dogs.' If you are interested in meeting Spirit or learning more about her, please contact her current owner at hatfield.michelle@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 3:42 pm

She is crate trained and house trained. She rides well in the car but has gotten motion sickness a couple times when riding further distances. She will need to be monitored around soft toys as she will chew them and consume them..... we had a little conversation about eating the fabric off a Kong Wubba toy and the conversation involved her having to drink peroxide and vomit up the fabric pieces.... So, indestructible toys would be a better option for her. She is allowed a blanket in her crate and has been fine with that....so far. Emmy is such a little go with the flow kind of dog.... she will be an excellent addition to any dog loving home She will be ready to start her new life mid-May!

He has been very friendly with me and the daycare staff, he plays in daycare daily and has been great with other dogs. He hasn't payed too much attention to the cats at this point. He is new to rescue so we're still learning about him.....but so far no complaints Stay tuned for updates on this sweet boy.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment (CARE) of St Louis MO is seeking a forever home for Nancy Drew, a young BC mix who has been in their shelter since last September when she was picked up stray in the St Louis area. Nancy is a sweet young dog who is in need of a home where dog behavior is understood and she can receive the training she needs.  Her puppy behaviors of jumping and barking can be managed and the sooner she is adopted and out of the shelter, the sooner that positive training can begin, which will allow Nancy to be the friendly youngster that the shelter workers know. Because of her shelter environment, some things are not known about Nancy:  how she rides in a car, how she behaves around children, etc.  However, her overall personality is that of a dog who wants to learn things and be with people.   If you want to know more about Nancy Drew or make an appointment to meet her, please contact CARE St Louis at adopt@icarestl.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 2, 2025, 12:20 pm
