Story
Starlit is very shy at first, but within less than a day she had already warmed up to me. She loves to play, her favorite toys are her ball, a stuffy and a squeaky chew toy. Oh, she also really loves tug of war. She also loves to run and go on walks. She loves to cuddle, she sleeps with me every night. She is such a sweet girl and when she likes you she will let you know, she has been my shadow as my family has started calling her since day one. She listens to some basic commands, sit and stay are the ones she knows. We are trying to teach her to "drop it" and "lay down". When playing she still nips, which we are also trying to teach her not to do that, its never aggressive and she never bites down. Starlit definitely has a one of a kind personality, she is sweet and goofy.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Glizzy—affectionately known as “GG”—is a sweet, loyal girl who has quickly stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met her. Her favorite activities? Snuggling on the couch, following her nose on walks, and showing off how smart she is (treats definitely help!). She knows sit, down, leave it, and even waits for an “OK” before diving into her meals. She’s house-trained, kennel-trained, and loves having a cozy spot to nap while you work or relax. Glizzy is an absolute people-lover. She greets visitors like old friends and enjoys being part of the action without being overwhelming. Her perfect day includes a short walk, a squeaky toy or two, and curling up beside you for a nap. Because of her strong prey drive and reactivity toward other animals, Glizzy would do best as the only pet in the home. She’s also best suited to a home without babies or toddlers, but older kids and adults will adore her sweet and affectionate nature. Glizzy does have a serious heart condition called severe subaortic stenosis, which unfortunately means her life expectancy is shorter than average (most dogs with her condition don’t live beyond age 3). She takes medication to help her heart and is doing great in her foster home, but her adopter will need to continue her care and understand her limitations.

Story
Hi, my name is Steevie. I'm a sweet, silly, stinky boy who can't wait to find my forever home! My hobbies include the art of dance, growing my sweater collection, giving sweet, slobbery smooches and getting run over by cars. I hobbled into CMHS with a hind leg that was pretty much just a bunch of loose bone chips with some fuzz on top. My leg is pretty much bionic at this point and I am supposed to stay off of it for a few more weeks while it heals. If I'm being honest though, I haven't really been putting much effort into R&R. You see, I like to pick up my healthy back leg to pee, so I have to put all my weight on my broken leg to do that. Also, as I had mentioned previously, I love to dance. The orthopedic dog surgeon wants to have me come in for a few more x-rays to make sure that everything continues to heal correctly since I've kind of been a nut through this whole process. If I find my forever home before those x-rays are scheduled, my new family will just drop me off at CMHS on the day of my appointment and the vets there will take care of me (this will be covered by my adoption fee, so you don't have to worry about all that). Since I'm supposed to be resting, I haven't gotten to get out into the world much. When I first came to CMHS, I was pretty scared and shut down. New people were scary and I found a lot of things to be overwhelming. I've really come out of my shell in my foster home and am learning that I won't get in trouble for being silly or playing with toys. My foster mom won't let me get too goofy with my foster siblings yet while my leg is healing, but I have met several other dogs and I've gotten along really well with all of them. I don't like it when dogs that I don't know bark at me, though. It kind of stresses me out, but I'm getting braver every single day. I have been working really really hard on my manners and know how to sit, lay down and touch. I don't get very long walks because of my leg, but I work on my leash skills every time I go out to go potty. My foster mom says that I'm a fast learner and that with continued training, I will be a rockstar!

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos
Columbia, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
If you’re looking for a dog who checks every box, meet Loki! This 3-year-old Boxer mix isn’t just handsome—he’s the whole package. With a million-dollar smile and a heart just as golden, Loki is ready to bring love, fun, and loyalty to his forever family. Loki is a social butterfly who adores people and other dogs alike. Whether he’s romping in the yard, strolling on a leash, or soaking up the sun at a pet-friendly patio, he’s always the perfect companion. He’s well-behaved, great out in public, and eager to be your adventure buddy. - Dog-friendly & loves to play - Walks great on a leash - Super photogenic (seriously, check out his pics!) - Happy, well-mannered, and eager to please Loki would thrive in a home with a playful pup or an active owner who enjoys outings or weekend hikes. A fenced yard would be a bonus, but most of all, he just wants a family to love. *Loki is friendly, and social but also very exuberant so we do not recommend a home with young children. All UMDR dogs are up to date on vaccinations to include rabies, monthly preventatives, spayed/neutered and microchipped. To meet Loki fill out an application on our website unchainedmelodies.org/adopt *No Out of State Adoptions
