Story
Scooter is a farm dog and very Border Collie behavior. He does not fit our family due to having an autistic child in the home. He is very energetic and excitable but very friendly. He deserves a home with someone that can spend the time with him and include him in daily life. He is trainable, knows sit, shake, stay, and is treat motivated. He is goofy, silly, and very lovable. Once he's comfortable with his owner he is a good boy, it will take someone who can be the dominant person.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.MEET ASTRO! This sweet boy came from the armpit of Missouri, our favorite place to help dogs from.  Astro has gained a few pounds of weight over the last few weeks and energy has increased along with it. He is looking healthier and happier each day.  He went in to get neutered and X-rays on his back hip/leg.  The vet found a very broken Ischium bone on the back right side.  We are about 95% positive Astro was hit by a car shortly before animal control picked him up.  It requires a very hard impact to break this bone.  He is a few weeks into the healing process and already showing improvement.  His tail is regaining function, he is now placing weight on that foot, standing tall on it, running, jumping, and wrestling around with his best friend, Meeko.  The vet assured me it will heal like any broken bone does, and will not impact his abilities.  Astro has learned “go to your crate” or “bedtime”, “sit”, and “wait” - all within 3 weeks! He has only had 2 accidents In the house (one of the right after we got him and another one which was my kids fault for letting him out of his crate in the morning but not outside).  Astro gets overly excited at meal time, but allows me to put the food down and “waits” for us to tell him it’s ok to eat.   He has taken multiple walks on a leash, walking side by side - not pulling.  He has been friendly to all men, women, and children that have come into my household.  He has a deep bark when warming me of strangers nearby - I.e. the delivery man.  He enjoys being in the yard to play or relax in the fresh air.  He is a freak for toys! This boy loves them all! Ropes, hard plastic, bones, squeakers - you name it, he is ready to play!  Loves to cuddle in bed or on the couch in your lap.  Most importantly - he has not shown any unbecoming behaviors since bringing him into my home and has made Meeko his most loved buddy, showing me he can play with other dogs (other male dogs) without issues.  Astro is now ready for applications! He was recently swabbed for DNA background and we are patiently awaiting the results to see what his dominate breeds are.  Right now thinking a black lab/pit mix. He is a medium size, at 53lbs - and expected to gain another 15lbs. He is 3.5 years old. application required to meet Astro!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This beautiful, playful girl is Sika! Sika wants to play, play, play!! She is extremely friendly and incredibly playful. Her family would be one that could and will provide outlets for her incredible energy. A large fenced yard would be most appropriate. Walks, runs, outings! While she is good around kids we would caution littles or unattended children due to her high level of energy. Sika has been learning manners and is a work in progress. She is very fun and very sweet. Dog pals would be really good for her as well. She is fostered with two male dogs just a year older than her and about the same size. Don’t let that high energy deter you from this amazing dog. Plenty of us are high functioning busy bodies! She would make a great teammate for you!!  Sika is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on prevention due the 15th each month.

Story
Barney was adopted from a CAREStl two years ago. He is a great dog and loves everyone he meets. He does have some behavioral issues and will benefit from someone with experience working with large dogs with kennel anxiety. He takes daily meds for anxiety. He is fearful of nail trims and will lash out at things he doesn't understand or fears. He loves to snuggle. He is a big boy and doesn't realize his size, so probably not ideal for anyone with small children or an elderly household. We love Barney and have done all we can to give him a wonderful life. He would thrive with an individual who has the time to help him work through his anxiety issues.
