After the passing of my mother, Rocker was more than a pet; he was an emotional support & a friend. He loves to cuddle, play tug, and chase his tail. He will protect you from birds and squirrels on walks haha & he loves to sit in the car. He isn’t a fan of the rain or the cold but he loves the outdoors.

Louie

Mutt

Female, Adult
Saint Louis, MO

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Louie is a high energy, sweet, four-year-old female dog. We recently had a baby and are finding it extremely difficult to give her the time and level of attention she needs to truly thrive. While we don't know Louie's mix, we suspect she has some Black Mouth Cur in her. Everyone who meets her on the street says she looks like Scooby Doo! We've had her since she was 7 weeks old. Louie loves long walks in the park and to chase the ball or frisbee and is happiest destroying toys. Her exposure to children has been minimal and she would be best suited to remain in an adults-only living situation. Since she was about 13 weeks old, Louie has been trained and continues to spend time with her trainer. While she has a strong personality, she knows all the basic obedience commands and is especially good at the "climb" command. She does well with a confident, calm handler and would love someone who can commit to long walks and vigorous play sessions.

Oscar the Wonder Dog

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Senior
Saint Louis, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oscar is a happy, energetic dog who is looking for a new home where he can have space to play and relax. Oscar is very loyal and loving. He is a cuddler who loves belly rubs and getting scratched behind his ears. If he could, he would spend all day every day playing fetch! Oscar is a survivor. When he was very young, Oscar overcame an aggressive bout of parvovirus that had landed him in the hospital. Then, when he was about a year old, he was sadly hit by a car, which broke his pelvis and required extensive surgery. But that didn’t stop Oscar either! He made a full recovery and can run and jump just as well as ever, though sometimes after a long day of play his limp is visible. Oscar thrives in a home where he can have some personal space, preferably without young children. He has shown some signs of aggression in the past due to anxiety from his safe spaces being infringed upon. Oscar is housebroken, crate trained, and has had basic manners and in-home aggression training.

Magoo was a stray in my neighborhood a month ago. According to the vet he is roughly 2 years old. He is quick to learn and eager to please. Along with come, sit and stay, Magoo has been learning to play fetch. He gets along with our dogs and barely barks. Magoo is great on walks and good off leash. Water is his favorite thing. He can often be found playing in his pool or laying in the sun.
