Story

Arizona Robbins is a sweet pup who's looking for her forever home after her previous owner unfortunately lost their housing. This adaptable girl is crate trained and ready to settle into a new loving environment! Arizona is a true people-pleaser. She might be a little shy at first, but give her a moment, and her loving, affectionate personality will shine through. She's also a social butterfly with other dogs, having done great in playgroups and coexisting well with canine companions. While she's been observed to sniff cats and coexist peacefully, she does sometimes get a little excited and chase small dogs, so a home without small canines might be best, or one where introductions are managed carefully. This intelligent girl is treat motivated, making training a breeze. She's got a playful spirit, enjoys walking, rolling in the grass, showing her flexibility with full body stretches from head to toe then sniffing out hidden treats. She is an A+ expert at that one!! 🩷Arizona, is a delight! She is enjoyable to be with, smart and a truly loving pup! She is a smaller girl weighing in at 37lbs who would easily light up a loving forever home. She just needs a chance🩷🐾

A big backyard of his very own where he can sprint laps, chase butterflies, and show off his signature bouncy moves. 💙 He LOVES going for jogs, yard zoomies, and brain games to keep that smart little noggin working.

Story

Hey there, I'm Scrabble, and if you're reading this, it means I'm still searching for my forever home – a fact I'm trying not to take personally! But hey, while I'm waiting, let me tell you a little bit about myself, and maybe even inspire you to take me out on a Daycation through CARE! Recently, I went on a Daycation to Pride STL with a couple of awesome people, and I have to say, I was a superstar! I'm told I gave immediate full-body wiggles to a new friend I met, which just goes to show how much love I have to give. We even stopped at a store, where I discovered I'm not the biggest fan of moving wheels like bikes or scooters. But good news: I'm super easily redirected, and I got much better as the day went on! So, with a little decompression in a new home, I bet I'll be cruising alongside you in no time. At Pride, I was on my best behavior. Can you believe I actually wanted to stay in line at one point? I got so much attention because, let's be real, I'm a looker! But even with all the compliments, I'm still patiently waiting for my family. So, what else should you know about me? Well, I'm a cuddly boy who loves to snuggle up. I'm working on being fully potty trained, but I'm already a pro at my crate – it's my cozy den! On walks, I can get a little excited and tug, but I'm diligently practicing my "sit" and "paw" commands, and I'm super motivated by treats (hint, hint!). I'm friendly with kids and other dogs (with slow introductions, of course, as I can be a bit dominant at first). I do have a little bit of reactivity with adult males, but with patience and understanding, I'm confident I can overcome this. The folks at the shelter are amazing and can tell you all about CARE's Daycation program – it's free, they provide everything you need, and it's a fantastic way for us to get to know each other outside of the shelter. So, what do you say? Ready to meet your new best friend? Come on down to CARE and ask for Scrabble – I promise you won't regret it!

Story

📸 The One with the Nervous Smile 🐶✨ Meet Goofy Greg, our very own Chandler Bing! He’s 2 years old, sweet as can be… and, well, let’s just say his “smile for the camera” is a work in progress. You know that episode where Chandler and Monica get their engagement photos taken and Chandler’s smile is… something? Yeah, that’s our Greg — except his awkward grin just makes you love him more. Greg is pretty scared here at the shelter. Sometimes he’s so nervous we have to tempt him with the best treats just to convince him that walks are safe. But underneath that anxious smile is a goofy, gentle boy who just wants a cozy home and a patient human to help him feel brave. Give Goofy Greg the safe space he deserves. Come meet him — he’ll bring the treats if you bring the love. 🩵

Story

Meet Fredbird, a resilient and lovable 4-year-old pup who’s been through more than any dog should—but is still full of heart and goofy charm. Found as a stray with a gunshot wound and some minor injuries, Fredbird has made an incredible physical recovery and is now looking for a fresh start with someone who can help him heal emotionally too. The stress of shelter life is starting to wear on him, but this smart boy is making progress every day. Fredbird is a quick learner and has been working hard with his handlers on redirecting his leash frustration by trading it for a rope toy or treat—and he’s really catching on! He’s an energetic goofball who lives for tug-of-war and proudly parades around with his face rope toy. One of the cutest things about Fredbird? His unbelievable ears—the tips touch when they’re both upright and it’s truly a sight to behold. He’s also been loving the herding ball, which has helped bring out even more playfulness and curiosity. At 59 pounds and packed with personality, Fredbird is ready to meet someone who sees past the tough start and recognizes the incredible companion he’s becoming. He’s clever, handsome, and has so much love to give—he just needs a patient and caring person to show him the way. As one of our LifeSaver dogs, his adoption fee is waived. He will be sent home with a bag of goodies to not only set him up for success in his new home, but help him thrive. Our training team will also be available to help with transitioning into a home or any issues that may arise.
