Story

If you’re looking for a world-class companion who is as loyal as they come, look no further. Named after a champion, Scottie Scheffler is a total winner in the departments of love, athleticism, and personality. Scottie is a true "Velcro dog." Once you’re in his inner circle, you are his entire world. He doesn’t just live with you; he celebrates you! Here is what makes him so special: Professional Snuggler: Scottie is a world-class cuddler who thrives on physical affection. He is remarkably adaptable in the home and just wants to be wherever his people are. The Ultimate Playmate: He is an absolute clown who loves to wrestle, play fetch, and zoom around the yard. He is great with his "fur brothers" and takes play-style corrections like a total pro. Top-Tier Intelligence: This guy is highly food-motivated and knows his stuff! He’s already mastered Sit, Wait, Place, Stay, Leave it, Down, and has fantastic recall. A Real Character: From using the stairs as his personal slide to his goofy antics, Scottie will keep you laughing every single day. The Ideal "Green" for Scottie Scottie is a "one-person" or "one-family" kind of dog. He saves his deepest devotion for his inner circle and prefers a quiet, predictable lifestyle where he can be the star of the show. The Quiet Life: Scottie prefers the peace and quiet of a suburban or rural setting. Busy parks aren't his scene; he’d much rather have a private yard to run his zoomies. Structured Success: Because he is so protective of his "team," Scottie does best with owners who enjoy a structured routine. He’s a smart boy who appreciates a "management plan" (like a cozy kennel) when new visitors stop by. Experienced Handlers: He is looking for a confident leader who understands that a dog this loyal just needs a little extra space from the rest of the world to feel safe. Bonus: He is as handsome as he is smart—expect to get plenty of compliments on those striking looks!

Story

Shayla is a beautiful and affectionate female dog, approximately two years old, who is a true hidden gem waiting for her moment to shine! This lovely girl possesses a wonderfully sweet nature that staff instantly fell for, and we believe she has been flying under the radar, overlooked by potential adopters. Shayla is an absolute all-in sweetheart who is eager to bond with her person. Transitioning her for walks is easy and rewarding; staff found that using a treat loop ensures she is quick and cooperative when leashing up. Once she's outside, she transforms into an excellent walking companion—she is calm and responsive, making neighborhood strolls a delight. Her sweet face is utterly irresistible, and she is easily motivated by treats, especially since she loves cheese! If you are looking for a loyal, medium-sized girl ready to settle into a loving home and be your best walking buddy, come meet the wonderful, easygoing Shayla today!

Boston Cream Donut

American Bulldog Boston Terrier

Female, 1 yr 10 mos

St. Louis, MO

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Boston Cream, a brilliant and sweet-natured soul who is discovering just how wonderful life can be! True to her name, she is a total treat—a "smart as heck" girl who impresses everyone with how quickly she masters new tricks and expands her vocabulary. Boston Cream is the ultimate companion for someone who loves a balanced lifestyle; she’s always ready for a spirited game of fetch or a round of "zoomies" (complete with adorable jumps and spins!), but she is equally skilled at the art of the afternoon nap. While she is still transitioning from her life as an adventurous outdoor girl to a pampered indoor lady, she is making wonderful progress with her house manners and is already a pro at keeping things tidy. Because she cherishes her personal space and has a strong, focused personality, she may thrive best as the "only child" in a home where she can soak up all the affection she deserves. She’s a brave girl who is learning to trust the world again, and once she settles into her kennel or a cozy corner, she is calm and content. Boston Cream is looking for a patient heart to continue showing her that the world is a gentle place—and in return, she’ll give you all the loyalty and cleverness she’s been saving up!

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Kaia, a stunning 2-year-old soul who is looking for a heart (and a home) as big as her spirit! This beautiful girl is the definition of "still waters run deep." While she starts off as a shy wallflower who needs a gentle hand and a patient pace, the transformation is magical once she feels safe. Once Kaia knows she’s home, she blossoms into an incredibly sweet and affectionate companion who just wants to be near her person. She is a sensitive girl who truly values the bond of trust, and watching her come out of her shell is one of the most rewarding experiences a dog lover could ask for. Because Kaia is an athletic and clever girl, she’s looking for a family that understands her adventurous side. She’s a bit of an Olympian when it comes to fences, so she’ll need a home that prioritizes indoor snuggles, supervised outdoor time, or a very secure setup where she can feel protected. She is currently working on her leash manners (she’s just so excited to see the world!) and would love a partner who can guide her with positive reinforcement. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones and a lifestyle ready for a loyal, 52-pound shadow, Kaia is ready to jump right into your heart (and stay there!).
