Story
Bruce Wayne (male) is part of a bonded pair. He wants to be part of the pack and has integrated seemlesly with our dogs and mostly ignores the cats. Bruce is chill and enjoys watching everyone in his vicinity. Some of Bruce’s favorite things are food, cuddles, and being adored by Kitty. Bruce would do well in a house where he can get a lot of attention. They do not like loud noises, but acclimate well to new loving surroundings. A little bit of love goes a long way with these 2. Bruce had a lot of accidents when he first came to us. He has since been neutered, which has lessened this behavior drastically.

Story
Kitty is a bonded pair with her Bruce Wayne. Kitty is grudgingly on a weight loss journey. She loves food and will enthusiastically cheer you on as you make her meals. Kitty will do well in a quiet, secure home, where routine will make her feel secure. When she first arrived with us she had many accidents in the house. This has slowed down as she has become acclimated to her surroundings. Kitty ignores our cats. She takes a moment to get comfortable with humans and dogs. Once she feels safe, her sassy side will come out. Kitty is learning to love laps and cuddles.

Story
Kinoko means mushroom. She was a stray in St. Louis, rescued by CARE STL. They estimate she was 3 at that time. She's approximately 6 now. She was on a Gabapentin prescription when we first got her to ease the transition. She is a bit of a curmudgeon and has mixed results with houseguests and other dogs. Contrary to that attitude, she has formed two important bonds: myself and my male Maltipoo, with whom she's lived for 2 years. Though she exhibits hostility at first, she won't ever charge. She is not a bothersome dog. She is content to sit all day in her selected spot. Attempts to move this spot have failed. She barks only when a stranger is in the house and tends to shy away from strangers outside and dislikes noises she can't identify like cars backfiring or running diesel engines. She needs at least 2 walks a day and even if she refuses to move. She will approach you and lick you first to signal trust, and she may then be petted at will. She requires patience and a resilient love.

Story
Looking for the right home for Knox I adopted Knox from a shelter in September 2026. He’s an 85-pound bully-type dog who loves staying close to his person. I didn’t realize he was struggling with separation anxiety until I had to leave him to go grocery shopping. When left alone, he becomes very distressed and destructive, and he has escaped from two crates. I love Knox, but I can’t be home with him 24/7. I don’t want to return him to the shelter because I’m worried that would cause him more stress. I’m hoping to find him a patient, experienced home that can give him the time and support he needs. Please message me with questions or if you think you may be the right fit for him.
