Angus

Angus is a beautiful black and white 2.5 year old male Shih-tzu. He came into rescue because his family just had a need to downsize. He will be a little shy for a day or so with a new family, but once he gets to know you, he will be full of kisses and tail wags for his humans. He will also want to snuggle into bed with his new family. This little jewel will also snuggle his way into your heart.
Angus would do well with a family with another dog or dogs. He was used to having a canine companion, and he has fit in VERY WELL with the pack of four at his foster family's house. So, he would be VERY HAPPY to go to a new family where he had another canine to play with. He was also in a family with two children and got along well with them. It took a few days, but he's playing rough and tumble with his older and larger foster canine brother. He is very well trained with his potty habits--only two accidents when he first got here, and always outside since that time (nerves and uncertainty of what's happening usually will be cause for the accidents).
Angus deserves the VERY BEST in a home and family. He will give you more than he gets. Is he waiting for you?

Due to having treated several heartworm positive dogs recently, we DO require past proof of h/w tests & preventative given if you own a dog. We do NOT consider it proof if you have just had the h/w test done or bought preventative for the first time prior to or after putting in an application.

Out of the Area? We will gladly do a "long distance" adoption, however we do not ship our dogs. We expect you to come and pick up your dog. As all our dogs are in foster homes in different places, that would mean you would need to travel to the foster home to pick up the dog (not necessarily in St Louis). Family members or friends are not allowed to pick up the dog unless the adopter is with them. We will not consider an adoption out of area without a vet and groomer reference.

We do not place dogs in homes with toddlers and babies. Please read the shelter home page for placement restrictions prior to submitting an application. Our group does have a policy of only placing dogs in homes where all pets are spayed or neutered.

Our Adoption fees are based on the age of the dog and range from $350 to $200 each, and are used to pay the vet expenses. All dogs are up to date on shots, heartworm negative, spayed or neutered and any known problems are treated before they can be adopted. Last year our vet bills were $3000. higher than our adoption fees, so we are not able to adopt dogs without an adoption fee.
