Story
Fezz is a good dog. He is a really smart & lovable dog. He is housebroken, he gets along with kids, cats & other dogs. He is protective when he is outside in the yard & he looks aggressive & will bark at strangers & has snipped at a few people whenever they tried to step in the yard. He didn't attack or hurt anybody. Fezz is my adult daughter, Emma's dog. He was neglected when she found him & took him home to live with her, her husband, her dog & cats. She has had Fezz for a few years now. Recently Emma had to move home because she was in an abusive marriage & her estranged husband kept Fezz. We received a call that Fezz had been left in an abandoned home without electricity & water for a few weeks. We called the police and went to get Fezz. He had been abused & neglected. We love Fezz but we live in a small home with 2 big dogs & 2 cats and we don't extra room & we keep Fezz separate from one of our dogs fights Fezz. Fezz deserves properly cared & loved in his forever home.

Story
Ruby Red is a sweet and spunky two-year-old terrier mix who’s been on quite the journey. Ruby came to us in rough shape. She was taken in by an amazing foster family where she has been getting healthy and learning how to be her best self. Ruby is now ready to find a forever home of her own! Ruby has a big heart and a lot of love to give. She thrives on human attention and would love nothing more than to be your shadow and cuddle buddy. Ruby lives with a cat in her foster home and, while she sometimes gets a little too excited, she’s learning the art of coexisting peacefully. She is not fond of other dogs and she needs to be an only dog for now. She’ll do best with a patient, consistent adopter who can help her continue to grow with some gentle training and structure. We think she would do best in a home with kids over the age of ten. Ruby will reward you with endless loyalty, silly zoomies, and a lifetime of tail wags. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who just needs a chance to shine, Ruby Red might be your perfect match. Ruby Red's $200 Adoption Fee is a great deal. She is spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed & current on monthly heartworm preventative. Ruby Red's estimated month of birth is 1/2023. Visit Pals-Pets.com to fill out a Pre-Adoption Questionnaire or call 314.581.6651 to schedule an appointment to meet this pet or any others here at the shelter.

Story
Chloe is a very loving dog to her owner. She was rough with our other dog, a Pomeranian.She was not vicious with him. That is the only dog she has been around. She just doesn’t understand her size vs. his size. She does get motion sickness. She is very jealous of my Granddaughter when I am spending time with her. But she is great when they are playing one on one. She needs a place where she can run and play. An owner who spends time with her. She loves to play fetch and we have just introduced the frisbee to her. She has now been spayed as well.
