About Bo Peep: · 🏠 100% housetrained · 🐶 Small-dog friendly · 🐱 Cats unknown · 🦮 Still working on harness & leash walking · 🏡 Secure physical fenced yard required — no gaps at the bottom · ❤️ Loves being with her human This adorable little lady is a 2-year-old Maltipoo weighing just 8 pounds, and she’s ready to find a loving family of her very own. She is 100% housetrained when taken out regularly — a huge bonus! She is also friendly with other small dogs, but another dog in the home is not required. She would be perfectly happy being your one and only and soaking up all the love and attention. We are currently unsure how she feels about cats. She is still working on getting comfortable with a harness and leash, so her new family will need to continue helping her build confidence. For her safety, she requires a secure physical fenced yard with absolutely no gaps along the bottom. At only 8 pounds, even a small opening could be an escape route. ❤️ Her favorite place is wherever her human is. She loves companionship and enjoys spending time close to her person. She would love a family who wants a little sidekick to share their days with. This sweet girl is looking for a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, secure, and completely adored. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, affectionate companion into your home, Bo Peep is waiting to meet you.

About Woody: · 🏠 Housetraining in progress · 🐶 Small-dog friendly · 🐱 Cats unknown but believe they will be fine · 🦮 Still working on harness & leash walking · 🏡 Fenced yard not required Woody is an adorable 5-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel weighing just 7 pounds, and this sweet little guy is ready to find his forever family! Ensure you are familiar with the breed. We know they are gorgeous but they are not a breed for everyone. Woody is your typical playful, curious puppy who is still learning all about the world. One of his absolute favorite things is belly rubs—and he will happily soak up all the love you're willing to give him! ❤️ He also loves playing with his half-sister, who will also be available for adoption soon. When he's not busy playing, Woody has discovered that some of life's greatest treasures come from the refrigerator. Blueberries and strawberries are two of his favorite treats! 🫐🍓 As with most puppies his age, housetraining is still a work in progress, so his new family will need to continue working with him and give him the patience and consistency he needs to succeed. Woody currently takes omeprazole, as we believe he may have a mild case of hydrocephalus. His adopter should be comfortable continuing his care and following any veterinary recommendations as he grows. 🏡 A fenced yard is NOT required for Woody. If your home does have a fenced yard, it must be a secure physical fence with no gaps where a little 7-pound pup could slip through. Woody is a sweet little boy with lots of puppy adventures ahead of him. If you're looking for a playful companion who loves belly rubs, berries, and being part of the family, Woody just might be your guy! 🐶💙

Story
Meet Gus! He is a handsome, 70 lb bundle of love who has been a devoted family member since he was a puppy. Now 5 years old, he is in the prime of his life: fully house-trained, well-mannered, and a world-class snuggler. Gus is a loving and sweet boy just looking for a family to embrace and love on him. Our family deeply loves Gus but unfortunately he and his senior, fur-brother Rusty have recently started experiencing conflict and it has caused Gus to become very anxious. It breaks our hearts to consider rehoming him but we are just trying to do what is best for him so that he can have an environment where he can thrive. It can take Gus a little longer to warm up to new faces but once you are part of his circle, he is incredibly affectionate and loving.If you can offer a patient home where he can let down his guard, Gus will give you 100% of his heart.

Story
Ben is a 140-pound gentle giant who will turn 9 in August. He is a loving, affectionate, people-oriented dog who thrives on companionship and being part of a family. I adopted him when he was about one year old, and he has spent nearly seven years with my family, growing up alongside two older large-breed dogs, including a Great Dane to whom he was especially attached. Over the past two years, both of his longtime canine companions passed away due to old age. After the loss of his closest companion, his behavior changed, and he began excessive licking and grooming that resulted in an open wound on his right hind leg. The wound has been difficult to heal because he continues to lick the area when unsupervised. Ben is not being rehomed because of aggression or behavioral problems. He would do best in a home with more companionship, attention and ideally other friendly dogs. He will come with his favorite futon mattress and toys. Ben is due for his annual vaccinations and rabies booster.

Story
Meet Angel!Angel was found tied to a gas station post by my niece, who couldn’t keep her, so we took her in temporarily. She’s about 1 1/2 years old, up to date on all shots, and spayed. Vet says that she is part husky and pit bull.Angel is high-energy, loves to run, play, and snuggle with us and the kids. She gets along with our small dogs and cat, but she’s a bit too rough for our older pets due to her size and energy.We can’t keep her long-term—my wife is recovering from surgery, and I’m away for work often. Angel would do best as an only dog or with larger dogs and older kids.She’s sweet, loving, and needs a home where she’ll get plenty of attention and exercise. If you can give her the forever home she deserves, please reach outAdoption fee is just to recover some of what we have spent on getting her checked at the vet and for all the vaccinations. I have the records in hand.

Australian Shepherd

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##
