Story
Penelope, through no fault of her own, is losing her home of 4 years. We are looking for a foster or foster to adopt home for this incredible dog.  Meet Penelope Penelope is a 6-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. At around 55 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion who’s just as happy curling up next to you on the couch as she is heading out for a walk.  Penelope does well with people of all ages, including babies and young children and has lived with a cat without issue. While she has not lived with a dog in a few years, she did well with dogs in her previous foster home. She’s a very smart girl who knows basic commands like sit and stay and could easily be trained for more. She is house-trained, however she needs a twice-weekly medication to manage mild incontinence. Penelope would do best in a home that can offer her consistency, patience, and plenty of companionship and exercise. She prefers not to be left alone for long periods and can feel anxious when separated from her people, so a household where someone is home most of the time would be ideal. Penelope is a loving, loyal companion who will flourish in a home ready to give her the structure, attention, and exercise she deserves. In return, she’ll offer endless affection, companionship, and plenty of cozy moments by your side. To apply to foster or adopt Penelope fill out an application at sapamo-rescue.org.  May 20, 2026, 8:40 am

Story
Karma is approximately 5-5-1/2 yo, spayed, up to date on shots, heartworm negative & ~65 lbs.  Karma is super fun, loving, athletic and loves the water. She would love to be adventurous with you or just snuggle on the couch & binge watch some tv. Spayed, utd on vaccines, heartworm negative & microchipped. She keeps a clean kennel, not a fan of cats & with proper introduction would probably be OK living with another (male) dog.

Story
Auggie is looking for a foster or adopter.  Not only is he incredibly handsome, he’s smart & athletic too!  He would excel at agility or parkour!  Running buddy, you bet! Hiking, let’s go!  He’s also a tug-o-war enthusiast.  Auggie is approximately 1.5yo, up to date on shots, neutered & microchipped.   He would be best as your only four-legged companion or could possibly live with other dogs after decompression & SLOW introductions.   The shelter & other dogs stress him out, so after he has a walk/potty break the volunteers love to let him hang out with them while they clean.  He loves to just grab a bone or rope toy & entertains himself, that’s his version of helping.   If interested in meeting Auggie, please complete an application at sapamo-rescue.org. March 7, 2026, 10:07 pm

Story
**The first step to adopting from MO Min Pin Rescue is to complete the online adoption application. A good vet reference and heartworm prevention are required. We do not arrange transport, and you will be responsible for coming to us to get your dog. Adoption Application link: https://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html ** Lil Bit is a very sweet Min Pin mix. She was picked up as a stray during some very cold weather. She had a couple of mammary tumors, one of which was ruptured. They have been surgically removed now, and she is healing nicely! The vet was able to take good margins, and the labs indicate that the cancer has not metastasized. However, it could return, and her new people should keep an eye out for any lumps or bumps that might appear. She is estimated to be about nine years old and weighs 21 pounds. She has been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. She is fine with other dogs but has not been tested with kids or cats. Located in St. Louis, her adoption fee is a $75 donation to go toward the medical procedures she's already received.

We do not arrange transport, and you will be responsible for coming to us to get your dog. Adoption Application link: https://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html ** Tupac's human had to go into assisted living, and he found himself without a home to call his own. He is an 8-year-old neutered male with a winning personality. He loves everyone he meets. He gets along fine with other dogs, but would do well as an only child, too. He is very curious about cats, and if they run, Tupac would probably give chase. He walks well on a leash and loves going on walks. He is fully vetted, including vaccinations and a microchip. He is in St. Louis, and his adoption fee is $275.
