Story
Shelby is a very sweet girl that is looking for her furever home! She originally came to us as a stray puppy and unfortunately after being adopted out she was found as a stray later again and loaded with heartworms. A gracious foster took her in and fundraised with us to completely treat her and get her back to being 1000% healthy and happy again! She has been with the foster and she has nothing but great things to say about miss Shelby! She gets along phenomenal with young kids and loves to play with her other dogs! Shelby gets along well with every male dog she meets but can sometimes be selective with other female dogs. Miss Shelby is not a cat lover so would do best in a home without them. Walks great on a leash and loves outdoor time! Would be a great dog to take camping, hiking, running, etc. Shelby is also not opposed to being a lazy couch potato with her family! She loves to watch movies with you and will stayed glued to the TV! She also LOVES car rides! She also loves to go out in public and thinks every single person alive wants to pet and cuddle her! She is extremely well trained including all her basic commands, kennel training and house training! Spayed, HW tested negative, Rabies vaccinated and chipped already! Her adoption fee is $250! Please call 618-833-4915. Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
Peter is a middle aged boy looking to spend the rest of his life with a loving family to call his own! He is a BIG boy but also a BIG baby! He loves all the pets you can give him and gets the zoomies during play time! He does well with other dogs both male and female but prefers to not have cats in the home since they are too irresistible to chase! He does very well on the leash and would greatly benefit from a family with a fenced in backyard to run and play! He is not a fence climber or destroyer so keeping this guy close to home would be easy peasy! He came from a home where he was inside and out so he is partially housebroken. AS well mannered as he is, it would take no time to finish that training! His adoption fee is $250 and this will include his neuter, rabies vaccine, microchip and heartworm test. Please call 618-833-4915 to come see him! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
Baki has had an unfortunate start to life but that isn't stopping this little guy! He was found chained to a trampoline with only 2 feet of slack, no shelter, no food and no water. He had fighting wounds all over his body and was desperately looking for someone to save him! After a trip to the vet, some good food and love he has already made a huge turn around! He can still be scared of new people but once he realizes you're a friend all he wants is to crawl in your lap! He seems to be about 10 months old and less than knee high. He also has a beautiful brindle color and big eyes that he never takes off his person! He walks well on a leash, doesn't show a mean bone to any of the other dogs or cats and is learning to run to his inside kennel when told! He has presumably been kept outside all his life but as smart and willing as he is he would catch on to anything you taught him! His adoption fee is $200 and this will include his neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine, microchip and he has already been heartworm tested negative. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him!

Story
Reesie has had the toughest start to life you could ever imagine. Her and her brother were tossed out of a moving vehicle in a plastic tote. The tote broke and threw the 2 little puppies into a ditch. Unfortunately her brother was killed on impact and Reesie was found curled up next to his lifeless body in the cold rain we had a couple weeks ago. She went through a 10 day quarantine in a foster home to make sure she was 100% healthy and now she is ready to find her furever home! She did suffer a broken growth plate in her elbow but the vet said she will make a very fast and full recovery with no added rehab or medical intervention! She is so full of life and grateful for everything she gets! She gets along great with other dogs and cats! She is also learning puppy pads and is a very smart little girl! She is available to go home same day on a foster to adopt program. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine, microchip and heart worm test. Her vetting and adoption fee will not be done until she is 6 months old. Her foster to adopt home will need to either have dogs of same gender or preferably all dogs in the home spayed/neutered. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.
