Story
Meet Joey, a sweet pup with an incredible story of resilience. Joey and his four siblings arrived at WCAC scared, unsocialized, and in need of a lot of love. To them, people were terrifying, but thanks to the kindness and dedication of the community, Joey has made amazing progress. He’s now a gentle, good-tempered pup who gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids. Joey is ready to begin his next chapter with optimism and a wagging tail! We believe he may be a collie mix. Please note that the listed adoption fee does not include the cost of neutering or bringing him up to date on vaccinations. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Animal Control at 618-327-9471 or reach out through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064739284772.

Story
Scooter is a farm dog and very Border Collie behavior. He does not fit our family due to having an autistic child in the home. He is very energetic and excitable but very friendly. He deserves a home with someone that can spend the time with him and include him in daily life. He is trainable, knows sit, shake, stay, and is treat motivated. He is goofy, silly, and very lovable. Once he's comfortable with his owner he is a good boy, it will take someone who can be the dominant person.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Jesse James – The Outlaw of No Boredom Here! 3 years old • 40 lbs • Border Collie Mix Extraordinaire This is Jesse James, and no — he won’t steal your money… but he WILL absolutely steal your heart, your couch spot, and possibly one sock when you’re not looking. Jesse is a 3-year-old, 40-pound bundle of brains, enthusiasm, and nonstop “whatcha doing and can I help?” energy. True to his Border Collie roots, this boy is SMART with a capital S. His mind is always working, his tail is always wagging, and he is always ready for the next mission. Need a hiking buddy? He volunteers. Need a running partner? He already tied his shoes. Need someone to supervise yard work, car rides, or snack-making? Jesse has clocked in and is on duty. He loves people, loves being involved, and believes personal space is optional when you’re part of the family. If you’re looking for a dog to quietly nap in the corner all day… Jesse respectfully declines that job offer. This handsome guy walks nicely on leash, learns quickly, and absolutely thrives when he has structure and something to do. Training? Games? Adventures? He’s in. He’d be amazing for an active person or family who understands that a tired Border Collie is a happy Border Collie. Jesse does great with other dogs and older kids who appreciate his enthusiastic, wiggly, sometimes goofy personality. Cats are currently a mystery — but knowing Jesse, he’d probably try to organize them into a committee. His ideal home? One that enjoys exercise, laughter, activity, and a dog who thinks life is meant to be FUN. A bored Jesse is a mischievous Jesse — but a busy Jesse is the happiest, most loyal best friend you could ask for. If you’re ready for a clever, affectionate, full-of-life sidekick who will keep you moving, smiling, and slightly entertained at all times, Jesse James is ready to ride off into the sunset with you. Apply today at haydudeequine.org — before this lovable bandit steals someone else’s heart!
