Story
Larry was found in 2019, in the middle of a rural highway when he was about two-four months old. It was discovered he had escaped from the box he and his litter-mates were dumped in. Larry has been known to escape his kennel and fenced in backyard. This issue has been mostly corrected, but he occasionally tests his escape abilities. Larry is a sweetheart and loves children. Larry is not aggressive towards people, strangers included, or most dogs. I hate to re-home him, however my current partner and her children recently moved in and are allergic. Larry is intelligent, kind, energetic, stubborn, and enjoys people. Larry has never officially met a cat, however I do not believe it would go well.

Story
Pepper is the sweetest pup ever. Super affectionate and gentle. She loves kids and the elderly (and people in general) and will protect the home. She loves to lay in the sun and will do anything for food. She can sit, stay, wave, shake, and keep a treat on her paw til you tell her to "get it". She is fully house trained and does great indoors and out. Our family is experiencing some very challenging health issues requiring us to travel. Pepper is needing a more stable routine and cannot travel with us. Looking for a family that wants a companion. She does especially well with kids who want a pet to give all their love to. She is the sweetest dog and will be your very best friend. Have listed an adoption fee, but if you think Pepper is a good fit for your family, we would be willing to wave it. Just want the right home for our beloved dog. She deserves a good life.

Story
We have had Charlee since she was a brand new puppy. She is 6 years old and loves to lay around and be lazy. She loves to go out and run for a few minutes but then is ready to lay back down again. She is house broken and does not require kenneling when gone for the day. She also does not require being leashed when going on walks. She is well behaved and loves to be loved. A new home with plenty of time to love on her and play with her would be perfect!

Story
We have had Millie since she was a puppy. Great dog with high energy that needs a home that is comfortable, friendly, and has a yard to play in at a minimum. She is great around kids and other animals, never a sign of aggression towards anyone. Can be timid and stubborn at times. Full house trained and does not have accidents. Loves Caroline’s doggy daycare and doesn’t mind a good grooming. We are rehoming due to our son’s high allergic response to dogs and strong doctor’s recommendations. She is absolutely loved in her our home, but there is only so much sickness we can tolerate stemming from said allergies. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Blaire

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Brookline, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Luna

Smooth Fox Terrier

Female, 7 yrs 1 mo
Springfield, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Say hi to Luna! Luna is an adorable smooth fox terrier mix who is approximately 4-1/2 years old & was sadly bounced around a fair amount at a young age. She currently weighs about 35 lbs, is tall & wiry, & boy can she jump! This little gal can jump five to six feet in the air from a stand still, & she is also extremely fast! We think Miss Luna would make a great agility dog if someone was willing to put in the time to work with her. Still a youngster, she is very playful, full of energy & smart as a whip! Luna loves spending time in the yard, running & playing both with the other dogs & by herself. She has a great time playing ball all by herself at times! Luna is a very sweet girl who loves everybody, especially kids! She also gets along well with other dogs. She is not a dominant personality, but is also not super submissive; she falls pretty solidly in between & easily submitted to our pack elders, but she isn’t afraid to correct a dog she thinks isn’t acting right! Luna is food motivated & LOVES treats! She is housebroken, crate-trained, & good on leash. She is also fully vetted (spayed, de-wormed, heartworm negative, up-to-date on all vaccinations) including microchip with lifetime registration. This silly, affectionate little girl is sooo ready for her forever home after being in our rescue for over three years for no good reason! A securely fenced yard & a young playful sibling are required for Luna’s adoption. Adoption fee is $150. Verbal interview, home check, vet reference & adoption contract required.
