Story
I'm 62 years old and wanted a pet. I got her free in late May as a 6 week old puppy. She is a total sweetheart and house trained. I have had 2 surgeries one in August and one in late September. Others have been taking care of her. I may have to go back for more surgeries and cannot keep passing her along to family and friends. Harper is friendly with EVERYONE and everything. She needs a home where she is loved and not passed around. She is not spayed. I can help with the cost up to half for the right family. I just want her loved.

Story
Seeking a quiet forever home. She is exceedingly anxious in busy environments, but once she trusts someone, her wonderful personality emerges. She becomes affectionate, playful, sassy, frisky, and stubborn in the most Shiba-like way. She especially bonds with calm adults. She does okay with children but finds them stressful, so a home without young children would be ideal. She is housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive, and walks well on a chain collar. She likes dogs and loves cats, but can be food-aggressive, so calm companions and separate feeding are important. She is an exceptional escape artist and can climb a 6-foot fence. Once loose, she is extremely difficult to catch and thinks being chased is a game. She requires secure, escape-proof outdoor containment and careful supervision. She came to us after being abused and kept outside. Our home has 3 children and 14 animals, and the constant acactivity keeps her anxious. She deserves a peaceful home where she can thrive.

Hello! I’m looking to find a great home for my dog, Kash’mir. Unfortunately, due to landlord reasons, he can’t stay with me anymore. He’s very playful, loves kids, and is a big baby at heart!

Story
Precious was named so because she truly is. She's a patient, loyal, and friendly dog. She gets along with other animals and knows how to sit and shake. I love her so much, but Im unable to keep her due to moving after my divorce. She can be a runner, so you'd have to keep her on a leash. Strangely, she doesn't like to poop unless she's off the leash though, so if you have a fenced-in area, that would be great for her. She's older, and she's been having accidents (a bit of urine leakage). Looking for a good, loving home because she deserves it. She's such a good girl.

Story
DJ may be 6 years old but don't tell him that! In his mind he is still a puppy that loves to run, play fetch and go looking through the grass for things to hunt! He is a big ole goober that LOVES everybody he meets and every dog! We haven't had any sort of issues with him while he's been with us other than his obnoxiously loud bark when he wants attention! He is a sweet boy and would be great in a family full of kids! He knows his basic commands and is even kennel and house trained! When he came to us he did have his hair shaved to the skin and several bald spots from a horrendous flea infestation. Thankfully he doesn't have a single flea now and his hair has mostly grown back! He does still have a few small bald spots but that doesn't change the fact that he is an awesome dog! If you can look past the wonky hair he would make someone a fantastic companion! He has already been neutered so his adoption fee is reduced to $150. This will include his DAPPV booster, deworming, 1 year Rabies vaccine, heartworm test and a microchip. If you're interested in making DJ a part of your family, please call 618-833-4915 to make an appointment to meet him. Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Jennie from the block or.... Jennie from Wing Hill Road?! We have had numerous calls, zero sightings and nobody willing to claim her. FINALLY one of our girls spotted her right before another cold snap and snatched her up! Now none of us have to worry about her being outside in the cold for another second! She has been the sweetest little girl with us and is just the most happy go lucky doggo! She gets along with every other dog and person here and for a beagle she is quiet as a mouse! She loves her outside time but has no objections to coming back in to her warm bed every afternoon. She walks nicely on a leash and loves car rides if she gets to sit on your lap! She doesn't potty in her kennel or tear up blankets/toys so she would be a great addition to anybody's home! We can't say enough good things about her! Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her DAPPV booster, deworming, current flea and tick, spay, heartworm test, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.
