Story
Luna is pit/ lab mix. She is 5 yrs old and has separation anxiety. I had given her owner until the end of June to figure out what to do with her and since then I have been trying to make contact with the owner about Luna but nothing. I am trying to find a good home for her and with someone who will love her and have patience with her. She is a really good dog once she gets to know you. She will also let you know when someone walks into your home ( she will bark ) she doesn't bite just barks. I do not want any money to re-home her, I just need a really good home and family.

Story
I acquired my pet in Cape Girardeau, she is 5 years old. She is very friendly, hyper, energetic, clingy, supportive, loyal. She loves outside and playing. Kind of give battle dog with how she operate because she is mixed with a blue heeler. She is not aggressive at all and loves to play. I want to send her somewhere that she is loved correctly and will receive the amount of energy she needs from an owner.

Story
❤️ Meet Hades! ❤️ Hades is a sweet, energetic, playful boy with a huge heart. He absolutely adores his humans and loves being by their side. He enjoys walks, playtime, attention, and simply being included in whatever his person is doing. He is incredibly loving and gentle with people and has a fun, goofy personality that will keep you smiling! Hades has had serious aggression issues with other animals, including incidents involving another dog in the home. Because of this history, he will need to be placed as the ONLY pet in the home. This is an important safety consideration, and Hades should not live with other dogs or animals. Hades isn’t defined by his difficult moments. He has so much love to give and deserves a home where he can feel safe, be his happy self, and form a strong bond with his person. He would thrive with someone who enjoys an active, affectionate companion and can provide him with structure, patience, and plenty of love. ❤️

Story
Dozer is a 167lbs lover, I rescued him from a fella that was unstable and have had him for 2yrs months, I don't think he's capable of being mean, he's receptive to other dogs, cat's I don't know. I love this dog as if he were my own child. He knows when something is bothering u and come to u to u to calm u down when ur upset. He's a huge dog and he has to go to a home that's gonna keep him inside, he's not a problem, he is house trained and will come to u through the night if he needs to go outside, if u don't take him when he comes to u ur gonna have a mess to clean up. You'll learn him pretty quick. Needs to be in a drama free house. He's up to date on all vaccinations and is micro-chipped.

Story
If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pixie is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful girl, Pixie, is very shy and will take someone with lots of love and patience to win her over. She came around very quickly with me but gets very scared if anything in her environment changes or if she is taken to a new environment (such as the vet). She is a very loving little girl who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to her. She is still very afraid of fast movements. She will do well with other other dogs as long as they are her size or smaller and allow her to be the boss. She is about 11 lbs and we guestimate that she was born around 07/01/2018. Her adoption fee is $350.
