These 4 cuties are looking for their forever homes! They are 7-8 months old Catahoula mixes and range from 30-40 pounds. They are a very energetic breed so an active family is best! If your family wants a high-energy puppy to keep you on your toes, this crew would love to meet you!

💔4 years in the shelter💔

Sweet Pea is a 5-year old girl who was originally found as a stray at a year old. Sweet Pea loves to play, go on walks, and just generally be around her people. She is your typical sweetheart; affectionate, curious, friendly, and athletic. Sweetpea has a medium energy level, and would fit best in a household that can give her both the exercise and the love that she desires. She is good with other dogs when out in the yard playing but is an alpha dog so would need submissive furry siblings. Sweet Pea has a lot of love to give and has been patiently waiting for her forever home for 4 long years!

‼️3 years too long‼️

Maria is a 4-year-old lab mix who has spent 3 years at the shelter, waiting for someone to pick her up. She originally came from animal control found as a stray; she was at risk of being euthanized so we pulled her. Maria is on the more petite side around just 40 pounds making her the perfect size! Sadly Maria has been passed up time and time again due to her shyness. Maria is timid at first meetings but warms up. A few visits may be needed just to ensure she learns she can trust you. Maria is a very gentle dog and more laid-back. She is a smart girl and will probably learn any new trick quickly. She also walks wonderfully on a leash. Due to her timid nature, a quieter home with no small children would be best and she does seem to favor women. If you think Maria might fit in with your household come out and meet her!

‼️ADOPTED‼️
Tinker has been with us quite some time now and she is ready to be the supergirl in someone’s life!
She’s just over a year old and still has that cute puppy energy. She is a ball of love and energy ready to share it with anyone who would be willing to give her a chance!
We pulled her from Animal Control and gave her the opportunity for an adoption but no one has fallen in love with her the way we have. Come out and see what a goofball this lovebug is and maybe she will be the hero in your life.

Buster and Walker will BOTH be at Tractor Supply Store today in Alton!

Buster (dark brown and white) is 7 yrs old, super sweet and friendly, and loves the water. He prefers a home without small children but is otherwise pretty compatible in most homes!

Walker (white and tan) is 8 yrs old but you wouldn’t know it! He loves to play and meet people. He came in because his house had recently burned down and he had nowhere to go. He is housebroken but during storms he gets scared and can have accidents. He likes dogs and cats both but NEEDS a fenced in yard. He is known for door bolting so would need someone to be able to watch him closely as they come and go (:

Come see us today 11-1:30!

Mr. Jack has his taco on and he’s ready for Halloween!
In all seriousness, Jack is a silly guy looking for his perfect home to claim as the one and only fourlegged personality in your life. He doesn’t care for other dogs and he isn’t a fan of cats but he does seem to like every person he meets. He’s got springs in his legs and loves to bounce around - no baby gate or short fencing will hold him back! He’s a middle aged guy and does great for walks on his leash.
Come out and say hello to our jumping Jack and see if he’s the small dog you’ve been looking for!

We wanted to, once again show our fondest appreciation for this kind, caring community and give out a "Wag of the Tail"! This time to Fosterburg's 4-H Club and their very gracious donation! Thank you!!!!!!

We hate to ask once again, but we are in dire need of dog and cat food. Because of this economy our adoptions have slowed down somewhat, which translate in that the more animals we continue to care of, the more food they intake!
So we kindly ask for your help in keeping their tummy's full while they are here!
The types of food we need is in the graphic below AND...if you want, scan the QR code to visit our "Amazon Wish List" for a more convenient way to donate!
We thank each and everyone of you for your kind thoughts of the animals in our daily care!!!!!!!❤️
