Story
This pretty girl is Selene was abandoned in our meet and greet with 2 puppies over 1 year ago. Her puppies were adopted quickly but Selene had to stay with us a while. She was heartworm positive and had to be treated before she could be adopted. Selene went through the heartworm treatment with no problems. Sadly, Selene is still waiting for her forever family. Selene would make a wonderful addition to the home of her choosing. She gets along with almost everyone but is dog selective at times. She would definitely have to meet all members of your current family before adoption to make sure it is a good fit. Selene does know some basic commands and is a very smart, playful girl.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application

Forrest was born 11/1/23. He's possibly a border collie mix who weighs 29 pounds at 8 months old. He and his siblings came to us when their owner could no longer take care of them.

Story
Me and my three brothers were abandoned in rural Jackson County during the hottest week of the year. Animal control picked us up even though he had nowhere to take us, but he couldn't just leave us in the extreme heat. The nice man that picked us up drove us to a big noisy building where we could hear a lot of barking. We were so excited but also very nervous. Two very nice ladies came out and looked at us and we could hear a lot of talking but didn't know what was going on. What happened next changed our lives! These nice people, despite being extremely full, took us out of the big truck and held us. We were put in a big space together, so we weren't scared. They have told us that they will help find us our very own families. I think for now they are my family. If you would like to give a pup like me a chance, please apply at www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt.Thaddeus graduated the SWATT program at Shawnee Correctional Center on January 14th.
