Story
Biscuit was surrendered to animal control after his owner was incarcerated. He is a small dog and on the alpha side. He does ok with other dogs that are female or submissive netuered males. He has alot of energy and loves to tell you if something is bothering him haha. He does have an old injury as he was hit by a car last year and his prior owner took him to the vet but refused to have his leg set/surgery done. It does not affect his ability to be himself nor does it cause him any pain, however he may get arthritis when he is older because of the injury. We feel he would do best in a home with older kiddos over 10 years and adults. He is unsure about cats but does tolerate them well.  ##2428829##

Story
Tapi is a sweet older gent around 8 years of age. He is ok with other dogs and unsure about cats. He would do best in a quiet home and we don't think he would do super with little kiddos so teenagers and up should be ok. He is very mild mannered and likes to do his own thing, but does also love attention. He just had a dental and lost most of his teeth, but does still have his molars so still eats hard food just fine. ##1384124##

Story
Little Tito was found wandering outside of a very small town in Northern Illinois during a very cold spell this winter. He was wearing a leash and collar but no one came forward to claim him and the men who found him asked all over and no one had ever seen him before! He was cold and tired and hungry and grouchy (I would have been too!). He is a little guy at just 7 lbs but he has the big personality to make up for his size. He is very shy of strangers. Once he trusts you (usually around 24 hrs time) he will be your forever buddy and shadow. He loves to be held and carried and give kisses. WE do not suggest him in a home with small kids as he will nip if he is scared/startled. He is good with other dogs his size but does prefer others to be subordinate to him or female. He is unsure about cats.  ##2336168##

Story
Oh sweet Molly ! Molly has been with us a long time . Her owner sadly took his own life . Molly is a sweet girl but is a dog that needs at least a few weeks to adjust to being moved . We think all rescue dogs deserve time to come around . Molly loves playing with her foster siblings and would not be happy as an only dog . She needs a fenced in yard as she is not used to doing her business on a leash. This little cuddle bug loves to cuddle and is very devoted to her people . Application is at stlsdp.org
