Story
We show our dogs by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting Quill, please first fill out our online adoption application at kcpaws.org. Quill's adoption fee will be $175. PLEASE READ BIOGRAPHY BEFORE APPLYING Meet Quill, he is a 4-6 year old Husky/Akita Mix who came to us after spending most of his life on a chain. He has loved getting to live life to the fullest since coming to our rescue and enjoys his daily walks and runs and playing fetch in the yard with staff. Quill has warmed up well to the staff here at KC PAWS and has particularly bonded with the manager there, it is clear that once he is bonded and trust someone he is a friendly and affectionate dog. However due to his past he sometimes is weary of strangers approaching him. He is not the type of dog that would like being in large crowds or having strangers come up to pet him during walks. He will also need his potential adopter to be willing to do multiple visits with him before adoption. Quill has met a few female dogs that he has gotten along well with, however he does not like to interact with other male dogs especially if they are his size or larger. He would do best with a female dog around his size. He does need a home with no small dogs, or cats. He would not be an appropriate fit for a home with children as he does not like for people to be in his face leaning over him and children on his level would be frightening for him. Quill is a very active, high energy dog and LOVES to run. He would be an excellent match for someone looking for a running, hiking, adventure buddy. Quill is kennel trained and keeps his run at the shelter clean. He also loves to go for car rides. Quill needs an experienced dog owner who will be willing to really work on training and socializing. He is not an appropriate fit for a first time dog owner or someone who has no previous training experience.

** 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!
