Not good with cats,

Story

Winter and her daughter Snowflake have unfortunately wound up in Animal Control after their owner abandoned them at their rental property. They are both such great girls who deserve a chance at life without the fear of being left behind! They have been kept in an outside pen since they were babies and have had no love or care. This doesn't stop them from being some of the most lovable dogs we've ever had come through our shelter! They are learning to walk on a leash and play for the first time! They would love to be in a home where they're the only ones there. They get along with some others but not all. They are big girls weighing close to 100 pounds but in all reality they're just big teddy bears! They are bonded and we would love to see them go to a home together. They're adoption fee together is $450 and this will include both their spays, 1 year Rabies vaccines, heartworm tests and microchips. Please call 618-833-4915 to come visit them!

Story

Meet Maine! Maine is ready to find her forever home :) This beautiful senior akita has definitely had a tough life, but you wouldn't guess it! She is extremely sweet, has a very laid back personality, gets along with other dogs, and loves people. Maine is still a little shy at times because of what she's gone through, but her adorable, gentle personality is amazing to be around. We are really hoping to find her an amazing adoptive home. Please consider applying to adopt Maine today! Submit an app here: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what Petfinder and AdoptApet state, the first step in our process is for you to submit an application, not message us through their respective website platforms. Thank you!)
