Bruce

Australian Cattle Dog Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs

Salem, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bruce came to us as a stray and has always been timid when it comes to new people, but once he does warm up to you, he is just a sweetheart. He needs somebody willing to maybe visit a couple times or have one really long visit to get him comfortable, after that he becomes so loyal and loving it's amazing. I don't feel like he's been treated the best by humans, so somebody willing to understand that and just give him time to understand that humans can be good would be the best thing for him. Bruce just needs somebody devoted to loving and caring for him.

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Knox spent several months as a stray out in the county, but you would never know it by meeting him. This sweet boy absolutely loves people and is just as happy as can be. He’s super chill, easygoing, and such a cutie! Knox could use a little help learning some basic manners, but he’s food motivated, which should make training a breeze. He’s the kind of dog who just needs someone willing to show him a little love, patience, and devotion. Give Knox that, and we have a feeling he’ll be the happiest, best boy ever. If you’re looking for a sweet, laid-back companion who is ready to leave his stray days behind and start being someone’s best friend, Knox might just be your guy!

Bandit was an owner surrender of a homeless man, so he is not potty trained, but he will not go in his inside area in the kennels!

He just needs somebody patient and willing to work with him and he will be such a good boy. He is so sweet and once he warms up to you is so loyal, he's already doing much better with manners but will need patience when adjusting to a home.

Story

He’s been fighting with Malassezia dermatitis. The exact cause is yet to be determined but is seriously. It’s costed my a load of money trying to provide him a healthy diet and medicine to relieve the symptoms. He needs to see a specialist. He is believed to have . Superficial bacterial pyoderma / Staphylococcal dermatitis, . Canine atopic dermatitis (environmental allergy), Generalized Malassezia dermatitis (yeast dermatitis). He has severe separation anxiety on top of this. With my hours I won’t have the time to provide him the care he needs. Thus, he needs a home that can provide more around the clock attention and can follow the proper steps of treatment for his condition. He is a very gentle and sweet dog. He loves to sleep near you due to his anxiety. Great around kids and other people. He rarely if ever barks. He can tell you when it’s time to go potty ( has been an indoor dog his whole life), he loves going for walks, and given time will play with other dogs.

Details

House-trained,

Story

We rescued Minnie from a young family, when she was approx 3 mo old. Do not actually know her breed.Minnie is now about 5 or 6 mo old. We are seniors in late 70s with limited skills and no fenced yard. Minnie is very energetic and needs younger people to train her and get her outdoors to burn that energy. She has learned a few basic commands such as sit and stay. She is highly food focused, eats her food in gulps. Is 85% indoor potty on a cloth reusable potty pad. Due to her high energy level we kept her in an indoor kennel so she could enjoy human interaction and allowed out several times throughout the day. She has No outdoor time. Not learned to walk on a leash, but whatever breed she is needs a yard and attention to run and sprint. She does not come when called by name. She deserves a home with fenced yard and patient family to show her a lifestyle she has not yet had the freedom to learn.Get to know her to see how much your contribution of love can change her life
