Story
Hi. I am Poppy, a 3-5 year old 6 pound chi mix. I was given the name Poppy because my owner lived on Poplar Street. I came into the rescue along with 3 of my sisters. You see, my owner died and there were 12 of us. The owner's sister reached out and 4 of us were lucky enough to be able to go into the rescue. We had lived in some pretty bad conditions since my owner was sick for awhile and wasn't able to properly care for us. When I arrived, I was pretty shut down. I was afraid to leave the kennel or to go outside to potty. So, foster mom sent me to the foster's house that had my 3 sisters. That was the magic that brought me out of my shell. Now, I'm cuddling with foster mom and sleeping in bed with her. I am, however, still working on the potty game as I am not comfortable going outside yet. I am also learning to walk on a leash. I am good with other small dogs and with older children but large dogs scare me and cause me to shut down. It is unknown about whether I would be good with cats since I haven't been around them. If you are interested in a bonded pair of tiny chi's who are just discovering that there is a big world out there, have your peeps call my peeps and we will be right over. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
This spicey nugget of cuteness is Carley Bean. We believe her to be a Chi/JRT mix and 3.5 months old. She is full of energy and feisty to say the least. We suspect she was taken away from her mom and littermates too soon and due to this she is showing to be a little extra feisty when playing with and engaging other pets in the home. She would benefit being in a home with another dog that will gently correct her and recommend training classes. Due to this issue we do recommend older kiddos in the home. She loves to play with her Papillion and Husky foster siblings, and suggest no cats. Carley is crate trained and does well sleeping through the night in her crate and does well in the car. We are working on potty training. If you would like to add Carley Bean to your forever family, please put in an application for consideration at 4paws4rescue.com. St Louis and surrounding area adoptions only. September 30, 2023, 6:22 pm

Story
If you're a cat person who also likes dogs, we have the perfect companion for you! Joey is a little dude at about 12 pounds, and he is four years old. Like most cats, Joey is ready to be your buddy on his terms-not yours. At his best, Joey is friendly, affectionate, playful, cute, and curious - and sure to bring you laughs. At his worst, he is cranky diva who wants you to leave him alone to relax, take long naps, and chill out in his crate. Unlike most dogs, Joey doesn't really want to share his owners or his space. He may not always want your full attention, but he doesn't really want to share you with other dogs or kids since he is supposed to be the prince of your castle. Although we refer to Joey as a cat-dog, we aren't sure how he would be around cats since he has not been around any in his foster home. Joey does have some advantages over his feline competition: not only does he potty outside like a champ so that you won't have to worry about a stinky litter box, but he adores going on daily walks and will keep you from being a couch potato! Joey is a typical rescue dog who will need some time to get used to a new home and people; remember the rule of three for rescue dogs: three days, three weeks, three months are all milestones for a new dog in your home, and after three months, your rescue dog will finally know that he is in his furever home. If you would like to meet Joey to see if his cattitude is right for you, fill out an application at istodaymydayrescue.org. His adoption fee is $295, and he is heartworm negative, neutered, and has had his rabies and distemper vaccinations. Adoption fees help our rescue pay for vetting and supplies for foster dogs.
