My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

My name is Hank, aka Mr. Hank, aka Hanky Panky, aka Hanker Pankers. Although I may look like One-Eyed Willie, I’m more Goonie than pirate. I’m estimated to be 12 years old, but don’t write me off because I can still walk briskly and play and explore. That said, my favorite pastime is keeping the sofa cushions warm while snoring – but not in a log-sawing way, it’s a soothing snore, I promise.

I’m fully housebroken and Doggy Door Certified (if there was a certificate for that, I’d have it with honors). I love a fenced yard where I can explore and enjoy the sun and roll in the grass. I love to go on car rides, too. I’m great with other dogs – I’m currently living with 7 other dogs ranging in size from 25 to 65 pounds – but I’m not really a fan of the felines. I haven’t yet met a person I didn’t like, so long as they give me happy scritches.

My left eye had to be yeeted. There was a ton of pressure in it and my foster mom gave me meds and took care of it until the eye just quite literally died. I am SO happy to be relieved of that annoying, stupid eyeball. I LOVE BEING A GOONIE PUP! I still do all of the things I was doing and more because I am more comfortable.

PLEASE DON’T PASS ME UP. I already love you.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Applications must be submitted in order to arrange a meet and greet with the dogs unless the interested family goes to an adopt event.

2.
Approve Application

Vets will be called to verify vetting. That is a MUST if there have been previous animals in the home.

3.
Meet the Pet

Meet the dog you've inquired to adopt, we try not to make families wait.

4.
Take the Pet Home

We finalize everything ASAP so you can take your new dog home and be a family!

Additional adoption info

We charge very small fees for our adoptions. The fees are based on the age and life expectancy of the dog. They range from $100-250. Each dog comes altered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, with heartguard and flea/tick prevention of our choosing.
We require an application and conversation. We will do a home visit to make sure the home is appropriate and safe for our dog. We will check vet and personal references.
We request a signed document that the dog be returned to the rescue and not taken to a shelter should it not be a fit later on after the adoption.

Go meet their pets

We do events at Petsmart in Sunset Hills. We have our dogs out and about the first and third Saturdays of each month. The interested Families may, also, meet the dog(s) at any schedule, convenient time coordinated with all parties.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla. I am the founder of the organization, opened July 3, 2015. Our focus is the senior dogs of Missouri. We never want a frosted face to end up in a shelter or be there when they can be loved and cared for.
I was a geriatric nurse for several years and converted my love for the senior people to the senior dogs. They come first, they've given their lives to those that chose them. It is our duty to give them the best that they deserve. We get them to optimum health and adoptable for a family to love them in their golden years.
November 2017 we added a puppy division. Our puppy division works hard to make sure the puppies get out of the shelters immediately so they do not get sick and can be cared for until adopted. their innocence and pure curiosity bring a ray of sunshine to our rescue.
All of our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and healthy.
