Haley-Adopted!!

Hailey is six years old and came in to rescue because she was unhappy with two small children in her family. She was a bit unsure of her new surroundings, new humans, and a pack of canine friends when she came into rescue. However, within a couple of days Hailey warmed up to all. After two weeks, she has become a part of this "extended family" of humans and canines.
Hailey greets her new humans at the door after work each day with lots of tail wags, dances and is full of kisses. She follows her human companions everywhere around the house. She is TOTALLY potty trained and has not had even one incident inside the house. When it's time for her to go out, she will grumble, growl, bark, etc. until she gets the attention she is after to get outside. She loves to go for walks and is very good on a leash and she is also a very calm car rider. The groomer gave Hailey A+ marks for disposition while being bathed and clipped. The groomer said she was one of the best dogs she ever groomed. Give her a doggie rope and she will play tug of war and fetch until one of you wears down.
Hailey will need to be adopted into a home with no children. Other canines would be fine for her. If you are interested in this beautiful girl, please fill out an application. She's waiting!

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.
