Story
Eddie is almost 3 years old. We got Eddie from the APA in Brentwood MO when he was about 6 months old. He is a sweet dog just is very protective if someone comes to the house and we are home. He stays in his crate when away. He has stayed in a kennel, going to doggie daycare, and has not had any issues. He is a great leash running partner. We have 3 other dogs and he gets along with them very nicely but does get protective if there are toys around, so we usually keep toys away. He loves to sleep either under our bed or on the living room couch. Potty trained!

Story
Would anybody be interested in offering a loving home for this furry friend? His name is Tigger; He is a plotted hound mix. He’s getting up there in age, I believe he is about 13. I am a full-time college student as well as working and this guy needs more love and attention than I have to offer at this time. Let me know if you’re interested or have questions. He is neutered and has a rabies shot that is up to date. He loves walks, tennis balls and sleeping. Located in St. Louis, Missouri.

Story
Has been the best protective companion I could ask for! He is house-trained and loves to be outside. I am relocating for a new job. He deserves far more space and playtime than I am able to provide him. He is fiercely loyal and very anxious around new individuals, especially men. It takes him meeting new individuals at his own pace with lots of open space and patience. New spaces and situation also take significant effort to ensure he is comfortable. Happy to answer any other questions and am hopeful to find him a home that is able to love him endlessly!

Very sweet "velcro" dog. Loyal, hardly ever barks. Adopted from Franklin Co. Humane Society in August 2024. Approx 4yrs old. Was forced to move from single family home with large back yard to condo. Not nearly enough room for her running/exercising needs. Love to find a home for her where she has room to roam.✌️❤️.
