Story
Oliver has been such a joy since he's been with us! He has quickly become one of our favorite doggos to play with, walk and just hang out with! As always, we try to be the most upfront about each dog we adopt out so here is Oliver's story. We originally did a hold on him because he jumped on a person jogging down the road and either nipped or scratched them. After the hold was up his owner's decided to surrender him. He was also being kept in an extremely small pen on gravel and had a horrendous flea allergy causing him to lose a significant amount of hair. After spending so much time with him at our facility we have truly seen his personality flourish and think the incident was merely an accident because he likes to jump up on your waist and literally hug you by wrapping his legs around you! He has been the absolute perfect boy here! He NEVER potties in his kennel, he gets along with all the other dogs including both females and more dominant intact males. He is great on a leash and loves going on walks! His favorite thing to do is go for a car ride no matter where you're going and he would honestly be the most loyal dog to anybody willing to give this beautiful boy a chance at a new life! He is at the perfect age where he is way over the chewing phase but still loves to run around and play as long as you want! His adoption fee has been reduced to $125 because he is already neutered and Rabies vaccinated. At the time of his adoption he will be HW tested and microchipped as he already has an appointment for it! He has already been DAPPV boosted, dewormed and current on flea and tick. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet this beautiful boy! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I want A "FUR"ever" HOME!  Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info:    D2026-211 ❤️ Meet Xela ❤️ Sometimes the dogs who need us the most are the ones who just need someone to show them that the world can be a pretty wonderful place. Xela is one of those girls. Xela is around 1 year old and 28 pounds, and she is said to be an Aussie mix. She came to us from animal control after being signed over because there were simply too many dogs and the living conditions were not what any dog should have to experience. Because of her past, Xela can be a little nervous when she first meets you. But once she starts to feel safe, you get to see the fun, playful girl underneath that initial shyness. ❤️ Xela gets along with other dogs, cats, and children, and she is currently learning all the things a young pup needs to know — leash skills, potty training, and basic commands. She may not have had the easiest start, but she's ready to learn, grow, and finally have the life she deserves. And when Xela decides it's time to have fun… WATCH OUT! She loves to run and play and gets the most adorable zoomies. One minute she's being a little shy, and the next she's flying around like she just discovered she has four legs and absolutely no speed limit! What Xela needs most is a patient family who will give her time to settle in, build her confidence, and show her what it feels like to be loved and safe. She didn't get the start she deserved, but her story doesn't have to end there. Xela is ready for the next chapter — one filled with a soft bed, a loving family, plenty of playtime, and someone who will promise her that she is finally home. ❤️ She may need a little time to trust you, but once she does, you'll have a goofy, playful girl who will be worth every second. Will be available after her spay on October 26th, 2026 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. All ADOPTERS  MUST PLEASE.....
