Story
Emilio is a sweet boy, about 5.5 years old. He needs a home with an energetic family who can train him and take him for walks and adventures. He gets along with other dogs, but has a tendency to chase cats. He knows sit, and stay (kind of) and he knows "out" to leave a room. He's healthy and well housetrained. He does have a poultry protein sensitivity (basically a food intolerance, poultry gives him digestion issues), so he needs food and treats with non-poultry protein sources. He pulls on a leash for us, but a friend has walked him without issues. My health has affected my mobility and he does not get regular walks with us anymore, unfortunately. This and a change in our financial situation are why we are looking at rehoming him. His new family will get all his toys and puzzles and any food we have on hand for him.

Story
Meet Motor!Motor is a classic Middle Illinois road find. He found his way to my eldest’s father, who gifted him to my 18-year-old. After some hard conversations, our household has agreed that Motor deserves a family who can give him the time and the tribe he needs. My son graduates high school in December and starts trade school right after, and with a 7-month-old puppy and a senior Pit Bull already at home, we can’t give Motor the attention he deserves.About MotorAbout 10 months old (we first thought 3 months, but the vet set us straight)Likely a Terrier/Pit mixGets along well with our Pomeranian puppy and our senior PitA little shy at firstMostly house-trained, and we’re continuing to work with himHealthFirst round of vaccines done at Big Bend Vet, second round due in 3 weeksNeuter scheduled at Carrol House’s vet clinic the first week of DecemberVideos available on request.

Story
Ace is a goofy, cuddly boy. He's about 1 year old so he still has puppy energy. He's potty trained and has taken well to his crate. We're working on a reliable "stay" and "come." He sits really well. Ace picks up patterns really fast and is eager to please. He knows when we're doing snackies or I'm letting him out to sit before I ever tell him. He's picking up on the patterns of when I toss food into his crate so I can take out my other dogs. I take Ace with me any time I go into the kitchen or living room to clean or cook so he has time to be him. If I'm too busy to play or cuddle, he'll grab a toy and go into the living room on his own. He loves the squeaky toys and **loves** to play fetch in the back yard. Ace is a little too friendly with other dogs. He's not mean. He just desperately wants to play with them. My dogs are older and don't want to play with him, so it starts fights and I have to keep them separated. Ace comes with all his belongings, including his crate if you want it

Penelope

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young
St. Ann, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
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.  November 9, 2026, 1:00 pm

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
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. If interested in fostering or adopting Karma, please complete an application @ sapamo-rescue.orgMarch 7, 2026, 10:08 pm
