Bull Terrier Needs Home

A very well behaved sweet dog needs rescued!!!! THIS IS URGENT!!!! Please call Carol Dumm at 314-567-3771 x200 or cell at 314-398-1139. If you can even foster him to give him more time, that would be great!

An urgent need exists to find a wonderful home, foster or permanent for a Bull Terrier named Champ. What a beautiful dog. Please take a look at the photo and in your hearts to reach out to help this dog in need. Please circulate to everyone you know. If you or anyone you know have an interest, please contact:
carol@unitedcarpetinc.com

My son, who is in his late 20’s got Champ, a loveable bull terrior as a puppy and has raised him to behave very well, be very loving and do quite a few tricks. He certainly has a cute personality. However, due to finances and circumstances, my son has had to move in to apt style living and they will not allow him to have Champ living there. A friend of his took champ to live with them and their little boy who also grew to love Champ and Champ slept in his room every night. However, Champ has gotten out of the yard several times and the neighbors complained twice to the city. I think the city where they live has some ordinances they can use when needed and they chose to use them now. They took Champ and Luke had to pay $200 to get him out and also show them that he would not be living in their city.

My son cannot keep Champ more then a few days where he is at. We cannot because my husband has developed in the past 2 years a allergy to any dog and his eyes swell shut if he gets any hair on or around him.

We are trying to find champ a safe home. He is about 4 and ½ years old now. I have attached a picture. If you have any options for us please let me know.

Thank you

Marley- 1 year old yellow lab

My name is Marley and I am a 1 year old yellow lab boy. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to play ball and am a really good Frisbee dog! I can jump 4 feet in the air to catch one. I am housetrained and sleep all night in my own bed. I can jump a short chain link fence, but I go right around and just sit on the front porch of my foster dad’s house, because I don’t want to run away.

I REALLY want a family to call my own and would love someone to give me a chance. If you will give me the exercise I need, I promise to be a perfect addition to your family!

Please call my friend Dara at 314-853-7550 if you would like to meet me.

Lou, 4 year old lab/foxhound mix

Lou is a yellow lab/foxhound mix that was originally picked up as a stray. He is a very mellow, well-mannered guy that would be a great addition to your home. He can become a bit nervous around lively people or pets. Therefore, he would be best in a home without small children. He would do well with another mellow dog, or as an only dog. He is fine with cats. Lou is very obedient, good on a leash, and will alert you to the presence of strangers. He is very loving and is a tail wagger ! Lou is approximately 4yrs old, neutered, utd on shots, and HW negative. His $150 adoption fee includes this, as well as his microchip and 30 days of ShelterCare insurance. Adoption application and home visit apply. Lou is in rescue and is being fostered in St Louis county.

Please contact Lori at 618-335-0004 or LorisPetPalace@yahoo.com to inquire about Lou.

Charley, Female Cat

Charley is almost four years old, she is spay and declawed in the front and back paws. She is also up to date with her shots. Charley is a loving, friendly and playful cat. She likes children and dogs. She has not been exposed to other cats. I am hoping to find her a good home and a loving family. I am also willing to provide Charley's toys, beds, pet carrier and covered litter box.

Zoey - Adult Spaniel Needs a Good Home - URGENT!

Zoe had been with her family for eight years. The guy who brought her to us has a blog in which he wrote that his pets were becoming "more of a burden than a joy" - so he decided to get rid of them. Poor Zoe is a mess! She is nervous and can't figure out what happened to her home. She is very frightened of large dogs - we think it is because at her old house, her room mate, a tiny cockapoo was attacked and almost killed by a big dog. Zoe needs a home where she can have all of the attention, or share it with a small laid back dog. She doesn't seem to pay much attention to the cats at the clinic where she is being boarded. She is house broken, spayed and up to date on all of her shots. Won't you give Zoe a safe, loving home where she can feel secure again?

She is currently at a vet’s office and very scared!

Please call Dara at 314-853-7550.

Getting The Word Out

With my new job it's been very difficult to update this site. However, I've made some changes that should help. 1. I stopped using the petconnect.110mb.com website, it was just too time consuming to update it as often as it needed updates. 2. I've memorized my password so I don't have to answer a bazillion security questions each time I need to log in. YAY

With that I've plunged deeply into finding pets that need homes and getting the word out. I don't think (and don't hope) that this site will be HUGE someday with changes 4 or 5 times a day but I do hope this is just one of the many places people can list their pets and find a pet.

If you're looking for a pet I'm hoping you've already checked craig's list, petfinder.com and the various shelters but I'm thrilled that you're checking here as well. Good luck!

Lily, sweet beagle

Lily is such a sweet dog. She has had a hard life but will be a wonderfully loving dog for someone. She is afraid of loud noises but is getting much better day to day. She loves other animals (as you can see) and gets along great with everyone. She loves to romp outside (so a fenced yard would be nice)...

She has all her shots and has been spayed.. She needs to get her figure back after having a carried a litter of 10 puppies but all were dead when she was found abandoned in Illinois.

Please contact Pam if you are interested in Miss Lily:

Beagle Mix

Free to good home, german shepherd beagle mix. Lucy is almost two years old. She is beagle size but shepherd coloring. She is good with other dogs, kids and cats. She is house trained and shed very little. She is also spayed. If you have any questions please email me at grmngrl8203@ yahoo.com The reason we are not keeping her is because my boyfriend and I work all the time and she stays in her cage. And I think she deserves more than that all the time. She is a very sweet dog but lonely. She is good with kids but then my son gets jealous if we spend too much time with her. We do have a golden retriever and two cats and she does get along great with them.
