Story
My daughter and her boyfriend rescued this pup from a litter that had been abandoned on The side of the road. They’re now breaking up and moving into places that they cannot bring her with them. She is a sweet girl and needs a good home. They tried to do good but were busy with school and work so they didn’t get to work with her as much as they would have liked so she’s not 100% potty trained. She is wormed and up to date on her shots

Story
Tepesh has been with us since 2017. He loves to run, play, and get belly and ear scratches. He is gentle with all animals and misses playing with animal friends. He is never aggressive but when lots of children are running and playing he sometimes gets nervous and nips at them. He has medicine that helps him not be as anxious. Most of all he loves to be loved.

Story
He does not have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body. He is fantastic with other dogs! He is NOT good with cats so if he goes to a home with cats, I recommend separating him from them. He could definitely use more training but otherwise, he is a sweet and playful boy.

Murphysboro, IL

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

Chad is a Heeler mix who came in with 8 siblings. They came to us when they were only 4 weeks old. They were an unwanted litter who were surrendered to us when their mama quit taking care of them.Chad's a sweet and gentle soul who's currently undergoing training at the Shawnee Correctional Center as part of our 3rd SWATT class. Chad is eager to learn and is making incredible progress in mastering manners and basic obedience. Chad graduates mid Jan and is hoping to go straight into a home where with a little love and patience, he'll blossom into the perfect furry companion.BONUS: Earlier this year, Chad attended a fun event at Big Muddy Brewing where Amber's Peace Love & Bows donated a gift certificate for 6 free baths and nail trims for Chad's adopter.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application
