Story
Hank is a sweet young boy with a lot of love to give. He would be best suited in a home with someone who does not work long hours to avoid long kenneling periods which can spark up some anxiety for him. He has a lot of energy and needs a good yard to run it off in. He hardly ever barks and is not reactive to other dogs but he seems to prefer female dogs. When other dogs are around him, he does become food aggressive though and would need to be separated from other dogs at feeding time. He is a sweet cuddly lover boy but sadly he needs more attention and space to run than his current home has to offer and unfortunately as a result, his current home is not a good permanent match for him. He is up to date on all vaccinations including rabies. He’s chipped and neutered. Hank weighs 64 lbs. He also just got the 12 month heartworm prevention shot in Feb 2025. Please consider this sweet baby boy to land his forever home with you.

Story
I got Bear from a shelter in St Louis when he was around 6 months old. He has always been extremely friendly, energetic, and always looking for an adventure! He is house trained (he was actually bell trained when I got him but I took that away because he would ring it whenever he wanted to go outside for fun), and is not the destructive type. He is a very intelligent dog and can pick up on things very quickly. Due to life circumstances, I have to move away to another country, so I am looking to rehome Bear to a loving family. Ideally one that can provide regular exercise and stimulation.

Story
Obi is a 5 year old mixed breed who is around 40 lbs. He is an incredibly sweet dog who loves his people. He is a very lazy guy who loves to snuggle up on the couch with you. When he has access to a yard he does love to run and play but he is perfectly content to lay around and be lazy. Obi has coexisted in a home with other pets his whole life. He has lived with both dogs and cats before but he does have a tendency to resource guard and it can cause issues sometimes. Obi would do best in a home with older children or just adults. He has only been around small children a few times and they seem to make him a little uncomfortable. Although Obi does have some quirks, he is an incredibly sweeet and loyal boy who would make an incredible family member!

Story
Hi there! I’m Yonce, a fun-loving, energetic girl who’s always ready for an adventure. I love running around the play yard, especially when there’s snow to zoom through! Fetch is one of my favorite activities, and when it’s warm, you’ll find me splashing around in the pool. I also can’t get enough of my stuffies—I'm a true toy enthusiast! At almost 3 years old, I still have the playful spirit of a puppy. I'm super social and adore being around people, especially older kids. I’m cuddly and soft, but I’m also a goofy girl who’s always up for a game. I love to bury my toys around the house (under cushions, between mattresses—you name it!) just like I would in the backyard. Kongs are my absolute favorite! I’m ready to be the best companion for the right family. Yonce's adoption fee is $0.
