Story
** Courtesy Post ** Meet Toffee – Sweet, Spunky, and Ready to Steal Your Heart! Say hello to Toffee, a 2-year-old Akita mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Toffee came to the Saint Charles County Pet Adoption Center under unusual circumstances—she was brought in as a "stray" by her owner's significant other, which her microchip later revealed she was their dog. Despite the rocky start, Toffee hasn’t let it dim her sparkle one bit. This girl is treat-motivated to the max, which makes training a breeze. She’s not really into toys but offer her a snack and you’ll have her full attention! She’s still working on leash manners and can get a little jumpy when she’s excited—but it’s all part of her silly, affectionate charm. Toffee recently met another dog named Shep and greeted him with playful enthusiasm. Her play style is a bit rough-and-tumble, so she'd do best with a dog her size or larger who can handle her energy. She does well in playgroups with both male and female dogs, and while she can get possessive over sticks or the water bowl, she listens when corrected and backs off appropriately. Cats? Not so much. Toffee tends to fixate on them and struggles to redirect her attention—even when a cat hisses or walks away, she stays laser-focused. Because of this, a cat-free home is best for her. Toffee would thrive in an active home with people who can continue her training, keep up with her fun-loving energy, and give her the consistency and love she deserves. Come meet this one-of-a-kind girl—you might just find your perfect match! Visit the Saint Charles County Pet Adoption Center to meet Toffee today!

Story
Hi friends! Oakley is a full bread husky. Oakley is 6 years old and he is the most family oriented and loving pup. Oakley is full of energy and has a habit of trying to escape.. as huskies are known for. When not being adventurous he is laid back and enjoys pets and snuggles from his humans. He has been through basic training and is fully crate/house trained. The main reason for rehoming is an extremely busy family schedule and the addition of another child. We want the absolute best for our pup. We desire someone or a family who has plenty of room for him to run, play, go on walks and maybe even lounge on the couch. Currently he spends too much time in a crate and we want him to live out the rest of his days free and happy! He will be up to date on shots prior to adoption. He is not fit for a house with very small dogs or cats Thanks for considering Oakley as your new best friend!
