Story
Luna is a great little puppers and in search of her furever home! She was an owner surrender due to no fault of her own and she would definitely make someone a fantastic family dog! She was in a home with a toddler and a baby and she reportedly did great with them! She is also so good with all the other dogs and would love nothing more than a family who has some doggo siblings for her to play with! She is also a bit scared of cats so a home with them would be totally fine since she just wants to stay far far away from them LOL! She's fantastic on a leash, does well in her kennel and her favorite trick is to shake your hand every chance she gets! She loves to play with toys and is such a good girl for still being a puppy. She doesn't even chew on things except for her toys or bones! She is super smart and undoubtedly would be a quick learner with literally anything! Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her DAPPV booster, deworming, spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine, heartworm test and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to set up an appointment to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Cleo is a bright and happy girl hoping for her new family before the cold gets here! She is the most excited puppers whenever she sees everybody and she absolutely does not know a stranger! She was surrendered to us due to some personal issues with the owner so we do know a little about her history. She is still so young that someone could take her home and still teach her everything under the sun! She already knows how to sit, lay down (sometimes lol), walks decent on a leash given her age, and best of all, she has great recall! She has already overcame quite a bit in her short life. With the previous owner, she was hit by a car but luckily they were able to get her emergency medical help so she has zero limitations from it! Honestly nobody would know if they wouldn't have told us! She is mostly house trained if kept on a schedule and she is also kennel trained! She gets along with every single animal she comes into contact with, whether it's cats or dogs. As long as someone is willing to run and play with her she is good to go! She would make a phenomenal family dog with some kids to keep company. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come visit this happy girl! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
Olivia is one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet.  She came to us with her baby boy and he was adopted in just a short time; now it's Mama's turn!     Olivia keeps a clean kennel, she knows sit and shake.   She has a sugar sprinkled face and is really ready for her person to come find her.  She's a snuggler and will absolutely keep you warm at night!  She's been mom for more than a couple of litters and she's sick of sharing herself with other dogs; she wants a life where she's the one and only in her person's eyes.  She's earned it!  July 27, 2025, 4:04 pm
