Story
Name: Ozzy Age: 1-2 years Breed: Pit bull Gender: Neutered Male Current Weight: 40.3 lbs Estimated weight when grown: Full Grown House broke: Unknown Good with Dogs: Unknown Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Children: Unknown Heartworm Test: Negative Adoption Fee: $100 Misc. Information: Ozzy was brought to our shelter after being abandoned, so not much is known about his past. He is a young very energetic pup who hasn't had any training. Though he seems to be a very friendly and nice guy, attention over stimulates him and gets super excited, jumping mainly but also at times placing his mouth on you out of excitement. He is going to require A LOT of training, time and patience to learn manners and controlling his excitement. Though we can't blame him for being excited over attention, he does need to learn to be polite about it. Ozzy is also recovering from demodectic manage which has caused the hair loss, dry skin an scabs. He is currently being treated here at the shelter with several medications and received a medicated bath to help the skin. He will have to go home with medications and will require weekly medicated bathes while his skin heals. He will more than likely also require additional vet visits to recheck the skin at a vet of adopter's choice and at adopter's expense. His hair will over time grow back! The shelter provides a 5-day health guarantee for adopted animals. This includes health conditions not present or known about by the shelter at the of adoption, which adopter becomes aware of within 5 days. Injuries or accidents that occur at the adopter's home are not covered. The shelter is not responsible for incurred costs from local veterinarians due to non-compliance. ALL adoptions are final! Animals can be returned to the shelter for any reason, however, there are NO refunds or exchanges.

Story
Miley is a crowd favorite. We all adore her and how far she’s come. She came to us TERRIFIED. She was afraid of everything. She didn’t want to come out of her kennel for days. She had been through so much trauma. Since then, she has flourished. She LOVES dogs. She will need at least one dog in her forever home as she relies so heavily on them for confidence. She is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. She will need time to not be afraid of new people. She will initially want to hide. But once she warms up, she’ll be smitten. And so will you! She’s low maintenance. She loves her crate, loves to play outside and loves her toys. She doesn’t ask for much. She will also require a securely fenced yard. Miley's adoption fee has been waived. We do not respond to inquiries sent on Adopt-a-Pet. Please fill out our adoption application at www.phpdr.org if you’d like to inquire about one of our adoptable dogs.

Story
Serenity is a sweet girl that's looking for a low traffic home. She has lived with another dog and a cat in her previous home, but she may be happiest not having to share her space with another dog. She likes to play with balls and chew toys! She's super loving and eager to please, especially if you have treats! Her ideal home will be one where she has a yard to play in as cars are scary and going for walks can be a bit much.

Story
Roland is the sweetest little guy. When he gets excited his tail wags and his whole body wiggles. Roland knows sit and down. He is good on walks for the most part. Sometimes his excitement can get the better of him and he will pull. He is excited by people, wildlife, cats, and other dogs. Roland can get jumpy when meeting new people outside but tends to be more reserved inside. He may knock down small children and can be mouthy when he gets excited. He has not exhibited aggression during the time I've had him but can play rough with an open mouth and may nip when overly excited. We are working on this and he has gotten better. Roland is crate trained and housebroken. When I first brought him home, he relieved himself in the house. We have corrected this, though he might regress in a new environment. Roland seems to have separation anxiety, he may be good for a long time but his limit is about five hours. I currently keep him in a spare bedroom when I am away. He is not destructive and does not relieve himself while I am gone. Roland has met other dogs. He tends to play hard, but nothing too aggressive. Roland needs reminding to be gentle and would do best dogs his size or bigger. Cats would need careful slow introductions. He is not a Velcro dog, but wants to be in the same room as you. Unless it is the bathroom. During those times he wants to be in his safe place, which is currently the spare bedroom. Roland seems limited with his jumping. I have to help him into the car and into the downstairs bedroom. He is good getting on the spare bedroom bed. Be prepared to lift this cute 50 pound dog. He will put his front paws up and let his person lift him up. Roland is an eager to please dog that needs an emotional support human. His adopter ideally would be a calm and secure leader willing to invest time and energy to build a secure attachment through training with clear and consistent expectations, gentle corrections and lots of praise. Adopter must be willing to provide plenty of exercise, play, and a variety experiences. In return, Roland will provide the sweetest emotional connection, loyalty, loving kisses and lots of snuggle time.

Story
Henry is very loving and cuddly inside the house! His funny and goofy personality gets him into a little trouble around the garbage and he has quite the time containing his curiosity. He loves to play and has done very good while playing with other dogs of the same size. Outside he can be a bit reactive to unfamiliar people and animals and throws a bit of a fit if he can't get to them. He's VERY treat motivated! Henry is a Priority Paw as he has been in the shelter for a long time. Volunteers say "Henry was super sweet, and loved getting the attention. He would need some help with leash skills as he pulled most of our walk/jog. If anyone is looking for a running partner, that loves people, this is your guy! He loved jogging with me and did not tire out until close to the end of our walk/jog. We passed a few different people and he was happy to see them. He was very excited to try to get squirrels and birds so he might not be the best with other small pets/birds." "Met Henry today, and we spent our time at Stephens Lake Park. He was excited to be out and about. Really pulled on leash any time we were walking, but would stop immediately and come right to me when called. He loved the lake and plunged in for a swim. Had blast playing fetch with large walnuts, tossing them in the air himself so he could chase them. Would love a yard where he could run and play (especially with balls). Henry needs someone with much patience and physical strength; he's a lot of puppy! But he's a good boy with a sweet heart, and with consistent, gentle, discipline he's going to mature into a loving and loyal family member." "Henry was such a delight and will be the best companion for someone who loves to really *play* with their dog! From the little time I spent with him, he was very intuitive and clever. He was obsessed with having his butt scratched."

Story
Mistley is such a silly girl! She can be a bit shy in new places, but some treats and a nice belly rub are the ways to her heart. She loves to explore and follow her nose. This girl is up for adventures with you! Volunteers say "We walked around the Mizzou campus and stayed at home for a while. Mistley is kind of a shy girl at first but shows confidence to people pretty quickly. She behaved very well when she stayed at home." "Mistley was truly the softest dog I think I've ever felt. She was very shy but so sweet and angelic. She was good on the leash, except in rare silly moments where she became a parkour expert but was such a little sweetie. She is destined for life with someone who appreciates a true girlie pop."
