Story
He’s 4 years old, i found him walking on the road when he was a puppy. He’s the sweetest dog, loves to cuddle and play. Good with kids, great with other dogs. He’s completely potty trained, and kennel trained. Would make a good inside or outside dog with a fence or boundaries. I unfortunately do not have the time to keep him busy and would love for him to be somewhere he can be stimulated.

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!

Story
Don't let this girls age fool you, she's still a young pup at heart! She came into UCAC as a stray and nobody claimed this pretty girl. She was starved, injured and her paw pads were raw and peeling from travelling. She has made a complete turn around and is a whole new doggo now that's ready for her new home! She is such a great dog and would make someone a wonderful companion. She has great recall, loves to be with her people and most importantly LOVES to rough house with any 4 legged friend that will let her! She would love to be an adventure buddy with someone since she adores car rides and going for walks. She is also a quiet girl and is just as content laying on a blanket or bed (which is her favorite thing in the world) and watching a movie in the peace and quiet. She is also a very tidy girl here with us so we definitely think she is house trained! She will however need kenneled when left alone in the house. Just like a typical german shepherd, she gets pretty antsy when her people leave her. She is also fantastic inside a fence! No jumping, climbing or digging which is a HUGE plus! Her adoption fee is $275 and she has already been spayed, microchipped and rabies vaccinated! Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Who want's their very own Grim Reaper for the spooky season?! Mr. Grim came to us as a starved, neglected, stray who was never claimed. He has put on tremendous amounts of weight and is finally healthy enough to start looking for his furever family! Since he appears to be a shepherd mix you can bet he is going to be one HUGE boy once he's completely up to weight! He has been the most happy guy since coming to us! When he was picked up he was pitiful looking and looked like he had given up on life. Now he is eager to see everybody, loves playtime with the other dogs and is full of life and energy! We think he is around 6 years old, give or take but he has the personality of a very large puppy! Whoever gets to take this amazing dog home has to promise us they won't tell him he's too big for their lap since that's the only place he wants to be! He is well mannered and doesn't get too rambunctious. He does well on a leash but would still benefit from some extra training in that department. He knows how to sit and shake and he is smart enough to know not to potty in his kennel which would make transitioning to a home a breeze! He does well with all the doggos here at the shelter. He does prefer submissive males over dominant ones but he obviously loves all the ladies! He is not a fan of cats since he thinks its a huge game of chase with them. He would do great with some older kids to play with! He is not a fence climber, jumper or digger either plus he has great recall! His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his neuter, DAPPV vaccine, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him! Thank you!

Journey is a sweet, very smart, active girl. She is great with other dogs and children and loves to play with tennis balls. We think she would be super happy in a household with other dogs or going someplace where there are other dogs for her to play with. Because of her active personality, cats aren't a good idea for this girl. Did we also happen to mention that she has the best ears? 'Cause she does. Come see this cute girl soon. Journey is two years old and weighs 57 pounds.Journey’s adoption fee has been covered by a generous donor. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption.
