Oscar (adopted)

Oscar is a 2 yr old Male. Neutured, all shots, negative on HW. He would be good with kids or old people. He came from a very loving home. An older couple had to go to a residence with no dogs allowed. He is housetrained and very well mannered. Does not beg for food during dinnertime. He understands some commands but is learning very quickly. He is a lover dog, but not a kisser. He seems to get along very well with other dogs too. He is a very mild mannered dog. Still learning to walk on a leash. Does not bite or snap even of you take a bone or toy out of his mouth. He does follow me around room to room never letting me out of his site. Understands "Come" and learning "Stay." Sometimes he does "Sit" too. He will make a great companion for someone. He is located in the Kansas City area.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.
