Story
Hi I'm maple! Im a goofy girl who just loves personal attention. Even though Im a shepherd, I sure dont have much motivation! Dont you dare ask me to shake or lay down, Ill give you a sit, and thats it! Im a lazy laid back lady. I love to sunbathe, chew on bones, and look deeply into your eyes as I scold you for not giving me more pets. Im an easy going gal with a little daily anxiety, but its pretty manageable with my prozac, kong, or maybe a bone if youre feeling generous... Maybe even a walk! However when it comes to thunder, Im terrified. I need a good cuddle and my acepromazine. If I'm home alone during thunder, make sure I'm in my impact crate! Me and other dogs? Thats a no go! I do deeply respect kitties and their claws though! My moms life changed drastically, and has to do live in care for senior citizens. She tells me I deserve a home where I get lots of attention and a little action. Maybe you can help us out! She'll provide an impact crate and shots too!

Story
I got knox from a certified breeder. His birthday is 4/9/2025 and he has had his first round of shots. He comes with his kennel, toys, leashes, collars, leftover food, pet bed and anything else I have for him. He is a great puppy eager to learn I just don’t have the time for him and want him to go to a loving home who has more time for him.

Story
6yr old female German Shepard mix near Maryland Heights, MO. Lilitha is a spayed, well-trained dog that needs an immediate home. She is my mom’s dog but my mom is going into a hospice-type situation and can’t take her. I already have two dogs and can’t take on a third right now. Lil does well with kids but should be placed in a home without other dogs or cats as she sometimes has negative interactions with other dogs (toy/food aggression). She is very sweet and loving and will be your best friend. She is crate trained and knows a ton of commands. She loves playing fetch, going on long walks, swimming, and would enjoy hiking. She is used to sleeping on the bed and sofa and will snuggle with you.

Story
Meet adorable Merlot from the Wine Rack Litter! Merlot's favorite thing is to hang on every word you say, she is definitely person oriented and is a perfect velcro dog! Her goal in life is to show you as much love as possible! Of course she also loves to romp and wrestle with her siblings- she would do great in a home with either other dogs or without. She is eager to please and doing great learning commands. She is doing great with potty training as well. Her birthday is November 22nd. Merlot's beautiful momma is Shepherd/Retriever mix and is about 45 pounds. Unfortunately her dad didn't leave a calling card, so we are uncertain on his breed. Our best guess is that Merlot will be about the same size as her momma when she is fully grown. Merlot has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines and preventatives. The only thing missing is a forever home as awesome as she is! To apply for sweet Merlot, please follow this link: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ITMD/Dog
