Story
Henry is a good dog. He is 10 years old. He does have some arthritis but otherwise healthy. He gets groomed once a month and he is up to date on his shots. He is potty trained. He walks good with a leash and loves to go on walks. The only problem we have with him is some aggression with kids. I have 2 grandchildren, age 1 and 2 and when they started walking that’s when he started growling and showing his teeth. He has never bit them but i dont want to take anymore chances. Currently we cannot let him around the kids so he has to stay in the basement when the kids are up and about. We have been doing this for 2 years now and it is very nerve wracking. It’s not a good life for Henry either. We just want him to go to a good home.

Story
We adopted him from Once Upon a Prayer Rescue in O'Fallon, IL. He is 4 years old. He is a very anxious dog and has a hard time just sitting next to us, but when he does it is so heartwarming. We did anxiety medicine for a bit to see if we noticed a change and we did, but we couldn't afford it anymore. If you have a front window, then he is constantly looking out it. He will bark at anyone who is walking in front of the house. You will always know when someone is here. LOL. He is an attention seeking dog. Loves to go on walks but doesn't like to be outside by himself in the backyard. If he gets out of the backyard, he will go to the front door and scratch at it because he can't stand to be away from you. Don't leave food out on counters or else he will jump up and snag it. He went to obedience school. He is a big dog but thinks he is a little dog which can be an issue with kids and cats.

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Bella Mae is a sweet senior Australian shepherd who came to rescue after years of neglect. She quickly blossomed in her loving foster home and is now ready to find her forever family. Bella likes to sleep, eat, and get attention from her person, always wanting to be close by. She sometimes plays with stuffed toys or pushes a ball around, but is generally pretty low-key. She loves all humans – adults and kids – and they fall in love with her as soon as they meet. She is great with other dogs but doesn’t really want them sharing her dinner or her toys. She would be perfectly content as the only dog in the family. Bella Mae is very trustworthy in the house. She just naps and waits for her person to come home. She is potty trained, knows “sit” and “no” and is working on leash walking. Bella Mae would love a home where someone is around often because she loves the company. A physical, fenced yard would be great because she likes to hang out in the sun on nice days.  This sweet senior is being fostered in the St. Louis area.
