Story

Rico and Halo are listed together because they are bosom buddies. We would love to see them be able to have a home together. Both of their information is here in this write up as well as in each of their personal listings. Rico was a stray, picked up by AC and no one ever claimed him. He is appx 2 yrs old, and is neutered, heart worm negative (will need committed adopter to continue preventative) up to date on shots, worming and flea/tick preventative. Rico is a frisbee champion! He LOVES to play frisbee and can leap up in the air and catch it most of the time. He also loves to play fetch with his ball, he is good to bring it back and give it back to you. He is an intelligent boy, quick to learn, listens well. Rico loves to go for rides in the car. Rico currently has access to a doggy door, and does great with that. He is good on a leash. Rico can be a bit grumbly when meeting other dogs. But once he knows them he is quite willing to play. Rico and Halo have been together for quite awhile, they met in the foster home and were instantly comrades and have stayed buddies ever since. Rico was by Halo's side during her heart worm treatment. Their play style is a good match, they both play rough and tumble. Though they will occasionally squabble over a toy, it is quickly resolved without any problems. Both have an abundance of toys and balls to choose from and they make use of them:) Halo has the looks of a Boston Terrier but is much larger, at least in weight. She is short in stature with short legs, she is a little over 15 inches high at her shoulder but is a whopping 70 lbs! She is spayed and up to date on shots, worming and flea/tick preventative. Halo came to us with severe skin lesions particularly around her neck, which indicates that she had likely had a large collar that was too tight and no care for her skin condition. Sadly Halo also tested heart worm positive. She has finished her treatment and the last blood test showed negative for heart worms YAY!! Halo is appx 2 yrs old Because of the heart worm diagnoses Halo MUST BE ON HEART WORM PREVENTATIVE year round. So her adopter must be committed to continuing her preventative. Halo loves people, belly rubs are a favorite thing of hers. She is a strong girl, and though most times will take treats nicely she can get a bit excited over treats and toys. She wants to know what you have in your hand if you are carrying something and will bounce up to try and get a look. She walks on a leash fairly well, likes to carry the leash in her mouth or maybe a toy or ball on walks. Stuffed toys are quickly destroyed, so tough toys are best for this girl. Halo LOVES toys and balls! Her favorite is a Kong squeaky ball, but she loves getting new toys and balls and also chew bones. She has access to a doggy door currently and does very well going outside to do her business. Halo does well with other dogs if they are willing to be friendly and play. She has rough and tumble play style. She MUST have a fenced yard as her curious nature can lead to wandering The ideal home for these two would be a home with no other dogs, cats or small children. Fenced yard is a must so that they can run and play safely. Someone who is dog savvy and understands the time and patience needed in having two sweet but energetic dogs. Commitment to daily play times of frisbee and fetch are essential for these two!

Askem

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 3 yrs

Lebanon, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Askem is a sensitive and soulful little guy who’s had his world turned upside down recently. At around 25 pounds, he’s on the smaller side — possibly a mix of Heeler and Chihuahua — and combines the sharp intelligence and need for purpose of a working dog with the emotional sensitivity and wariness that can come with tiny-dog genetics. The result? A dog who feels deeply, bonds strongly, and needs a bit of extra support navigating change. Askem was originally adopted from us as a puppy and spent the majority of his life with his first owner, who adored him. They gave him a loving, stable home for nearly two years and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him — affectionate, loyal, and a true companion. Unfortunately, a sudden change in their living situation meant they could no longer care for him. They tried to rehome Askem to a relative, but the match just wasn’t right, and after a short time in that second home, Askem found himself back with us — confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what was happening. Understandably, he hasn’t adjusted well to the change. He’s a naturally nervous dog, and losing the only home he ever knew has shaken his sense of security. In the short-term home he passed through, Askem was reported to struggle with house training and was defensive with guests. These behaviors aren’t uncommon for dogs dealing with stress and uncertainty — especially those like Askem who are already prone to anxiety. It seems likely that he tried to cope the only way he knew how: by overcompensating with controlling behavior (classic Heeler) and reacting quickly when he felt vulnerable (classic Chihuahua). What Askem needs now is someone who can see past those stress responses and understand what they really mean — a dog who is insecure, not difficult. He would thrive with a confident, patient person who can offer him structure, predictability, and firm-but-kind boundaries. He’s the kind of dog who finds comfort in routine, and who will slowly let his guard down when he knows what to expect and who to trust. Beneath the nerves, Askem is incredibly affectionate. Sit down with him and speak softly, and you’ll see the longing in his eyes — he wants to be close, to crawl into your lap, to melt under your touch. He loves scritches and rubdowns and clearly desires connection. We're giving him the time and space he needs right now to rebuild his confidence, and he's already starting to show those sweet, loyal glimpses of the dog he once was. Askem isn’t a dog for everyone — he needs a calm home, likely without young children, and with someone who’s familiar with shy or reactive dogs. But for the right person, he’ll be a deeply rewarding companion. If you believe that trust is something worth earning, and you're ready to help a dog rediscover what it means to feel safe, Askem just might be waiting for you.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cocoa is a 9-month-old Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who came to us as a stray after being found on a back road with her presumed sister, Marshmallow. While we don’t know much about her past, Cocoa has quickly shown us what a sweet and affectionate girl she is. She loves people and soaks up attention, always eager for pets, belly rubs, or just being near you. True to her breed mix, Cocoa is full of energy and enthusiasm—she practically vibrates with excitement when it’s time to play or go for a walk. She will do best in an active home that can keep her busy with exercise, training, and adventures. At 28 lbs, she’s the perfect medium size for tagging along on hikes, car rides, or simply curling up at the end of the day. Cocoa has so much love to give and is ready to find a forever family who will appreciate her happy spirit and give her the guidance she needs to grow into an amazing lifelong companion.

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo

Lebanon, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

🐾 Meet Bingo! 🐾 Bingo is a 5-year-old, 60lb Red Heeler who’s as loyal and loving as they come. His world recently turned upside down after his previous owner had to surrender him due to a change in circumstances, and while he’s doing his best to stay cheerful, it’s clear that shelter life has been hard on him. He’s a dog who truly thrives on companionship, attention, and love. Bingo is fully house-trained and knows a few basic commands. He walks well on a leash, though he can get a little eager to explore and still pulls a bit when he’s excited. He’s a very smart boy and would do great with someone who enjoys continuing his training or giving him a “job” to do — typical of his herding breed! This affectionate guy loves being near his people and will happily soak up all the pets and belly rubs you have to offer. He’s playful and has a goofy side too — one of his favorite pastimes is “hunting” flies, and he definitely seems like the type to enjoy a good toy or game of fetch. Bingo has gotten along well with dogs, cats, and kids. He does tend to bark at other dogs when he’s excited, and he might chase kids if they run, but he means no harm — it’s just his herding instincts shining through. He’s the perfect mix of fun-loving and affectionate, with a heart full of devotion just waiting to be shared with someone special. All Bingo needs now is a family who will give him the stability and love he deserves. ❤️ If you’re looking for a loyal companion with plenty of personality, come meet Bingo! We promise — this boy will steal your heart. 🐶💙
