My story

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

Sweet little Archie is ready for fun! He would prefer a busier household with friendly people and a friendly dog.
At only about three years old and 10-ish pounds, Archie loves going for car rides, enjoys playing with toys, knows his name, and patiently sits in his foster's lap while she brushes him.
Archie is a curious dude who goes in and out the dog door just to check on things in the neighborhood and survey his potty spots. Archie needs another dog in the home since he does get nervous sometimes by himself. For example, he walks well on a leash when another dog is there to be a good example.
Archie is not crate-trained and can be trusted loose in the house when his foster leaves for several hours.
At night, Archie joins the dog gang and sleeps with his foster parents where he stays all night and is well-behaved.
Archie is a dog who will require regular grooming since he is some kind of Shih-Tzu mix.
He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm-negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $325.

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.
