Story
We did Brownie's DNA! He's about half cattle dog and the next biggest result was Boxer but he is mixed with many other breeds. Brownie is a sweet, energetic and spunky guy who had a rough start in life. He loves affection and is a good boy. He was found as a stray in Bonne Terre and got picked up by animal control, which is just a shed. We believe Brownie would do best in a more quiet home with older or no kids and an active owner that would spoil him and give him the life he deserves. Brownie will need a fence as he has a high prey drive and loves to chase the yard critters. If there are other dogs in the home they should be about his size or bigger. He loves to play with the other dogs. He has been introduced to the dog savvy catin the house and they get along okay.We only adopt to people in the St. Louis METRO area. Please see our Adoption Policies here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TZjrOP29mqXvcHEC3zPaKXXnS80LaVGMA45Lc0-Z2MI/edit?usp=sharingInformation about the rescue and adoption process can also be found at www.stlpetrescue.com along with a full listing of our adoptable pets.

Story
Rudy is a rescue pet that i got at 6 weeks old. He grew very quickly and is now 9 months old. He weighs aproximately 95 lbs. UTD on shots, has been neutered, and chipped. He is very strong and has become too hard for me to handle. Very playful, observant, and tries to outsmart you. He has become more aggressive in jumping and nipping at me and i dislike constantly putting him in a cage. Looking for someone who loves big dogs and can handle him physically to be trained better. I am just heartbroken over this. He was going to be my forever dog but i cannot continue to care for him. I know he can be a wonderful pet with some training and knowledge of handling a big dog. I am going to be very choosy in finding someone.
