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.

Story
Bella came to us from an abuse and neglect situation. She was being kept either in a dark basement in a crate or on a chain in the yard with little room and inadequate shelter. This poor girl even had calloused bed sores on her hind end from being locked up! She has been the sweetest little thing the entire time she has spent with us! She LOVES running around in the bigger fenced in area with all of her dog friends! She gets along with absolutely any dog. It doesn't matter if they're big, small, male, female, nice or grumpy, guaranteed she will love them all! She is great on a leash, kennel trained and house trained. She would do best in a home without cats because if they run she can be a chaser! She is Heartworm positive, we are hoping this wont deter a new loving home from taking this precious girl in. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come see her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
BB is a true warrior and has already been through so much in her little life! She was weaned early due to having a not so great momma but she is doing fantastic, eating hard food, loves cheez it's and is ready for her furever home!! She is very young so she is a clean slate for someone to take in and train in whatever way they'd like! She would love to be someone's camping or adventure buddy since she loves to be with her people, go for rides and hop in water! She is still very small so her new home would need to be very aware of this and accommodate her. She is truly a miracle and deserves to have the best life! Due to her age she will need to go home on a foster program until she is 6 months old when she can be vetted. She will need to come back to us once a month for her puppy vaccines until she is of age to be vetted. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her puppy vaccines, dewormer, age appropriate flea and tick, spay, heartworm test, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Her adoption fee will not be due until she is 6 months old. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Bam Bam was a stray! Can you believe that?! This little guy came in very malnourished, weak and hungry as a bear. Now he is healthy, happy and ready for his furever home! He was BB's playmate and absolutely loved having her to cuddle with. Now that she is adopted, we're hoping someone will take him home so he's not all alone! He is such a feisty little guy and his absolute favorite thing to do is untie your shoe laces! Obviously at his age he is not trained but he is a smart boy and someone could teach him everything in the world! He would absolutely love to go on adventures with his new family because he already likes car rides! He will also be a very slick haired dog so no worries about tons of shedding in the house! He has been in foster with one of the UCAC girls and he has already learned so much! He is kennel trained, is started on potty training, LOVES to sleep in bed with the kids, goes for an occasional dip in the pool and doesn't even need a fenced in yard because his recall is already so great! He will need to go on a foster to adopt program due to his age. He will need to be brought back to UCAC once a month for his puppy vaccines and when he is 6 months old his adoption fee of $275 will be due. His adoption fee includes all his puppy vaccines, dewormer, neuter, heartworm test, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him! Thank you!

Story
Baby is a sweet little girl that is looking for her furever home! She is a bit of a tough case because let's face it, cattle dog breeds are protective and one owner type dogs. She is no exception! If you're looking for a small - medium size dog that will lay their life on the line if someone breaks in, this is the perfect dog!! She is small but fierce! Baby does not care for strangers and will dang sure let you know. Not a single person will even pull into your driveway without you knowing about it. She has been raised as an only dog and she prefers it that way. She doesn't mind cats though! She is the ultimate house dog! She wants to lay in your lap, be pet constantly and loves her squeaky toys! She is also very house broke and has great recall! She was in a home with teenage grandkids and she did fantastic with them, although she is still very protective of the family. Her adoption fee is $275 and this includes her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Bandit is a great dog looking for a great home! He was picked up as a stray and was never claimed. He is a german shepherd mix and boy oh boy you can tell! He has the iconic gsd whine and he is smart as a tack! If you're looking for a dog that would never be too old to teach tricks than this is your guy! He would do great in a more energetic home and a home that has knowledge of the breed. He is always ready to go for adventures but does need a little help with leash manners. He already knows how to play fetch, sit, lay down, shake, drop it and he is completely house and kennel trained! He is not a jumper or climber of fences but with a typical gsd's prey drive we would highly recommend a fence or barrier of some kind. He seems to do well with pretty much all dogs big or small but he absolutely loves small dogs or puppies the most! He is also totally fine with house cats as long as they're not wild and running around all the time. He does not beg at the table when you're eating but he LOVES to lay by the stove when you're cooking just to be close to you. He is also VERY protective of his people so you will know every time someone pulls into the driveway. Once he meets a person one time and knows it's okay for them to be there then he remembers it forever! His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet this outstanding boy! Thank you!
