Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Let me introduce you to Magnolia, a 1.5-year-old, 40-pound beauty. Whoever she chooses to be her new family is getting a great dog, and let me tell you why. She inherently has traits that you cannot train.
She doesn't meet a stranger and wants to visit with everyone. She loves kids, gets along well with other dogs, and doesn't take issue with cats. She constantly tries to give everyone kisses. She does not display any food/toy/bone aggression with people or animals and doesn't guard her things.
When it is time for work, she willingly goes into her crate and waits for a treat. Sometimes she goes in just because she's tired, as the door is always open when someone is home.
In her foster home, she has access to a doggie door when the fosters are home, and Magnolia has had no accidents in the house.
She has an exuberance for life and lives it to the fullest. This girl is up for anything - playing in the backyard, taking a ride, going for a walk, chewing on a bone, and even taking an occasional nap. These are qualities most people want in a pet, and she has them ALL!
Her favorite thing of all is to be outside, day or night. She loves to sit and watch the squirrels run in the trees and just hang out.
Magnolia would love to have an adopter willing to help her with a little obedience training. She had NO training before coming to our rescue, we are guessing she was outside 24/7 with no structure, so some basic training would do her good and create a bond with her new family.
Because she loves everyone, sometimes she intrudes on personal space. She likes to haul all her bones and toys out to the yard with her, but we haven't been able to teach her to bring them back in...LOL. Magnolia is very food-motivated, so training should involve treats for sure. She currently knows how to sit, stay, wait, back, ok, kennel, in the house, no, and potty outside.
She likes carrots, green beans, chicken, apples, rice and any other treat she is given. Magnolia can jump over small gates, so a 5-foot or higher fence will be needed in her yard; her friendliness sometimes makes her want to hang out with the neighbors.
When Magnolia came to us she was heartworm-positive and just recently finished her treatments; she is now healthy & ready for her forever home. If you want to meet her, fill out an application at istodaymydayrescue.org. You won't regret it!

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
