Story
Meadow is a sweet and sensitive border collie mix. This adorable puppy is just starting to come out of her shell, following her person around and then heading out to explore just a little before racing right back. It’s so easy to fall in love with her gentle personality and smarts.  Meadow is just starting to discover and play with toys. She likes to shake them and chase balls. She’s so food motivated and brainy that she already learned sit, down, come, and twirls and is also learning to shake and roll over. She is good in the crate, doing well at potty training, and learning to walk on a leash. She is interested in other dogs and will follow them around. Another friendly, kind dog in the home would give her more confidence. Meadow loves to curl up on the couch for naps. Meadow would prefer a quiet and calm home that isn’t too overwhelming. Someone should be around most of the time. Extra points if there’s herding dog experience. She needs a physical, fenced yard so she can explore safely. This sweet girl is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2353434##

Story
Hey, corgi fans. Meet Arty. This sweet and energetic guy loves playing with his canine foster siblings, but he also adores snuggling on the couch. He even gets along with the resident cat. Arty has a blast with crinkle toys and balls and has loads of energy. If dog sports are your thing, he’d probably enjoy agility, disc, fast cat, or fetch. Arty is deaf and is working on basic obedience hand signals. He is very bright so we know he’ll pick things up quickly. He has very good house manners, is potty trained, and is doing well on a leash. He’s also working on crate training. Arty is about 6 months old. Because he’s a high-energy herding dog, he needs a home to match that energy. He’d prefer a physical, fenced yard and someone with herding dog experience. He’d also really love a friendly dog buddy to play with. Arty is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378248##

Story
Happy and sweet senior pup Scooter needs a forever family. Somewhere between 10 and 14 years old, Scooter is pretty energetic for his years, but he certainly loves relaxing too. He’s an Australian shepherd who really enjoys playing ball. He’s all about the chase, but isn’t always convinced it’s a good idea to bring the ball back! Scooter is very good in the house. He doesn’t chew or bother anything. He’s potty trained, but needs plenty of breaks to go outside. He gets along great with his canine foster sibling and pretty much adores everyone he meets. Scooter would love a home with someone around a lot. He absolutely wants to be near his person as much as he can. He would love a home with a physical, fenced yard. He’d be fine with another dog but would be totally OK as the only pup in the house.  Sweet Scooter is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378226##

Story
Rio is looking for a full-time snuggler. This senior Chihuahua (or maybe a Papillon?) has loads of energy and loves to dance, but his very favorite thing to do is cuddle. He will curl up in your lap while you work or snuggle in your arms while you read or watch TV. He doesn’t care where you are; he’ll find a comfortable spot so he can be with you. Rio is incredibly handsome and very, very sweet. He is fully potty trained, puts himself to nap in his pen, and loves a great bed. He’s nearly 10 years old and has some of the aches that come with aging but he sure doesn't look or act like a senior pup.  Rio adores you once he gets to know you. He won't let you stop petting him or snuggling him. But new places and people can be intimidating, so he needs a calm home without a lot of upheaval. He needs someone accustomed to small dogs (he’s just 6 pounds).. Rio would prefer a fenced-in yard because he likes to explore, but would be OK elsewhere as long as he gets to go out on short walks. He loves walks almost as much as he loves snuggling. No small children please and no rowdy pets. Rio deserves a quiet, cuddly life. Rio is being fostered in the metro Atlanta area and is looking for a home nearby.    ##2373526##

Story
Dogberry is a fearless adventurer. He’s the first one out in the yard to go exploring and the last one ready to come in. Dogberry is a mix of mini Australian shepherd and terrier and has the brains and energy you’d expect with such a great combo. He lives to play and cuddle, eat and sleep. He adores toys and other dogs. Dogberry is deaf so he’s learning hand signals to communicate. He’s very bright and motivated so he should be an excellent student. He’s looking for a home where someone is around most of the time. Extra credit for herding dog experience and a physical, fenced yard is required. A perfect mix of independent and Velcro, this sweet pup is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2344905##

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##1270950##
