Story

Kinoko means mushroom. She was a stray in St. Louis County rescued by CARE STL. They estimate she was 3 at that time. She's approximately 5 now. She was on a Gabapentin prescription when we first got her to ease the transition. She has been hostile to house guests and needs to be put away when strangers are around. She has mixed results with other dogs so she doesn't go to the dog park. She has lived with a male Maltipoo for 2 years and was hostile at first, but within 24 hours accepted whatever horseplay he tries to do. She is not a bothersome dog. She is content to sit all day in her selected spot. Attempts to move this spot have failed. She barks rarely, when she smells or sees danger. She's been known to cower in the presence of dumptrucks and their associated dumpsters. She needs at least 2 walks a day and even if she refuses to move, is the best way to bond with her. She needs a resilient love and every chance to pet her should be taken even if she sorta turns away.

Story

Keyoko is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She had been living a good life until her owner died and she - and her buddy Zeus - suddenly found themselves at the shelter with nowhere to go. One of our wonderful fosters has agreed to take both of them in until we can find their new forever homes. In addition, a kind supporter has sponsored part of her adoption fee to help her get settled soon. At 8yrs old, Keyoko is still playful and loves to cuddle with her people. She is looking for a safe and loving home. If you think that could be yours, click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. This dog is being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

He is a calm, steady walker who completely ignores passing people and other dogs. He does have two funny quirks to look out for: he loves to inspect and try to pick up sidewalk trash, so his handler needs to keep an eye out for street debris. Also, if you stop moving, he likes to jump up on you for some quick attention, but he immediately stops and gets right back to business as soon as you keep walking.Stay tuned for details as we get to know them better! Limburger`s adoption fee is $350, and this wonderful boy is so excited to find a new best friend!
