Story
Titos was dumped in the cemetery next to my house as a very young puppy. My husband and I have been caring for her since. She's 3 years old, spayed, chipped, and house trained. She loves to play and sunbathe outside. When the day comes to an end, she will cuddle with you as you fall asleep. She's been great around the older dogs and the new baby. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide her with the love and attention she deserves.

Story
We had a stray, female dog have puppies, and an abandoned home near my home. We were able to rehome all the puppies, but this one. She has been living outside this whole winter except for on really cold days. We would bring her in, but can find her to one room because we honestly cannot care for her the way that she needs to be cared for. We have tried every place in and around Poplar Bluff, Missouri and no one is willing to help with her. She deserves a good home. She is such a sweet girl. We have potty trained her enough to where she does not go in the house when we do bring her inside. She does wonderful with my three-year-old son and my 16-year-old son. We have another dog and two cats in the home already which is the main reason we cannot keep her and we do know that she does wonderful with them as well. Please help us find someone to take this dog we did not want her to die, but we also cannot keep her permanently. Thank you.

Story
Hi I'm Bear! My humans found me as an abandoned newborn on the side of the road. They bottle fed me and I've grown into a healthy, energetic pup! I'm 1 year and 4 months old and I'm always ready for a good adventure. I like to learn new tricks, I love liver and chicken treats, and I think I would make a good guard dog. My favorite things are running at the park and playing fetch. I have been an inside dog for the past year and I'm crate trained, but I also love to run around outside any chance I get!
