Story
Buddy is a spirited, loyal 5-year-old, 70-pound pit mix who has been patiently waiting for his forever family since September 2021. His journey has been full of near-misses. Buddy was first found as a stray, and while the good Samaritan who found him hoped to keep him, Buddy didn't get along with the resident dog, so he was brought to the shelter. Not long after, Buddy's original family recognized him from a shelter post. They even shared a sweet video of Buddy in their yard, happily popping bubbles with a young child, but despite this connection, they didn't come to bring him home. Since then, Buddy has remained hopeful, eager to find a family who sees him for the loyal and loving companion he is.In his time with us, Buddy has made huge strides in his training, graduating from the Puppies for Parole program. There, he worked on house training, crate training, basic commands, and leash skills. He also became muzzle-conditioned, which helped him gain confidence around other dogs in a controlled environment. Buddy has a playful and energetic personality, making him an ideal match for an active household. He loves tug-of-war, outdoor adventures, and would thrive in a family that enjoys walks, hikes, or even jogs. When heading out on a leash, Buddy might pull at first, but he quickly settles into a relaxed, loose-leash pace. In his kennel, he shows his tidy side by keeping his space clean, hinting at a natural habit for order and structure that could make him an easy fit for home life. As a dog who enjoys being the center of attention, Buddy would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can fully bond with his new family and shower them with loyalty and affection.Buddy's ideal family will appreciate his enthusiasm and enjoy staying active alongside him. A family that can continue his training, provide structure, and embrace his fun-loving spirit would be the perfect fit. This resilient "Forget-Me-Not" dog has been waiting for far too long, but he hasn't given up on finding his family. If you're looking for an adventure partner with a big heart and boundless love, Buddy is waiting to meet you. His adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor.

Story
Meet Augie, a nearly 3-year-old pit mix with an irresistible personality and a heart as big as his energy level! This happy-go-lucky boy has been with us on and off since June 2022, each time returning with a smile and his signature wagging tail. Augie's enthusiasm for life is contagious-he loves everyone he meets and greets people with warmth and a big grin. Playful and affectionate, Augie is a natural people-lover and a snuggler at heart. You couldn't ask for a better companion.While his heart of gold has won many over, Augie's high energy has been a challenge for previous adopters. He has more pep than most people know what to do with! But that's no obstacle for the right family-he just needs an active, structured lifestyle to bring out his best. Augie recently graduated from the Puppies for Parole program at Jeff City Correctional Center, where he passed his mock Canine Good Citizen test with flying colors. His handler raved about his trainability, noting that he thrived on the daily structure of 5-mile runs and a consistent routine. Augie's energy didn't fade after those miles, though, so he's looking for a home that's ready to show up for him every single day. Willing to put in the work that he is.A fenced yard would be ideal for Augie to burn off some of his energy, whether you're throwing a ball or playing with him outside. Although he enjoys the company of other dogs, he'd be happiest either as the only dog or with a canine sibling who shares his high energy level. He's highly trainable. He picks up new skill very quickly. He's proven time and again that with the right direction, he's a fabulous companion who will reward structure with loyalty, playfulness, and love.Augie needs a committed owner who will make him a part of their daily routine, keeping him active and giving him the attention and direction he thrives on. If you're an active person or family ready to embrace this incredible, joyful dog, Augie is here waiting to share his boundless energy-and his boundless heart-with you. His adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 60 Age: 2yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Charity was abandoned in the parking lot at Dogwood Shelter when she was very pregnant. After about a week here, she had her puppies, 11 of them! Most of them have been adopted, but she is still here. Her favorite pastime? Going for walks! While she does have a bit of a pulling habit, we're working on it together. With just a little guidance, she's learning to walk more calmly on the leash, and I can see her progress each day.When it's playtime, Charity comes alive! She absolutely loves her frisbee. Watching her leap and bound in the play yard is a joy; she's so enthusiastic and playful. It's clear that she's got a playful spirit and a zest for life. After some play, she's always ready for those much-loved belly rubs, and trust me, she will roll over to ensure you know just how much she enjoys them! Charity does have a strong personality, which means she needs to be the only dog in her forever home. She tends to come on a bit strong with other dogs, but with the right family, she will flourish. Her loyalty and affection are boundless. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 60.8 Age: 3yrs 3mths 3wks

This is Precious, she is 2 years old. She is selective with her friends, both human and dogs but when she forms a bond, she gives her love wholeheartedly! ♥️🥰 She doesn’t seem to mind cats. She has also been brought to a few events and did well! Precious prefers to relax rather than play with toys or fetch.

Story
Meet Ray! This charming 6-year-old boxer mix is still on the lookout for his forever home. Ray arrived at the shelter in January 2019 as a stray, found on the side of the highway in Gravois Mills. While we don't know much about his early life, what we do know is that Ray is a spirited and energetic boy who thrives on companionship and playtime.Ray is a live wire with a heart full of joy! He loves to engage with his humans and is always ready for a game of fetch, especially with his beloved tennis balls. He's mastered the art of chasing but sometimes needs a little encouragement to drop the ball-just throw another one, and he'll happily swap! His silly antics are sure to bring laughter to anyone in the room.Having graduated from Missouri Puppies for Parole at the Jefferson City Correctional Center, Ray showcased his eagerness to learn and grow. He's got his basic commands down and is well on his way to being a fantastic companion. However, Ray is still learning to trust people fully. He has formed strong bonds with his handler and close friends but can be a bit wary of fast movements or sudden gestures. His crossed eyes may cause some blind spots, so he's looking for a patient and understanding home that can respect his need for space as he adjusts.Ray enjoys playgroups with other dogs and does well with his furry friends, but he can be protective of his toys and crate. Because of this, he would thrive best as an only dog or in a home with experienced dog owners who can help manage his protective tendencies.This special guy flourishes with structure and consistent training, and he responds well to positive reinforcement. After spending so much time without a permanent home, Ray is ready to find his place in the world. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who will brighten your days, Ray may just be the perfect match for you! Could you be the one he's been waiting for? Ray's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 56 Age: 6yrs 1mths 1wks
