Huckleberry is an American Bulldog / Pit Bull Terrier mixed breed dog.  He's 1 1/2 years old and already neutered.  

A big lap dog, Huckleberry loves people.  He's a lover in a beautiful white and black furry dog body.

Adoptable Dog: Her Whole Life in a Shelter Waiting

Carley is over 5 years old and has spent her whole life at the Dogwood Animal Shelter in Osage Beach, Missouri.

Carley came to Dogwood as a puppy.  Her brother was adopted fairly soon, but she's still waiting.

She is listed on Petfinder as an Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) and Labrador Retriever mixed breed dog.  Primarily black with some tan, Carley weighs 65 pounds and has been spayed.  She's completed the shelter's 6 week obedience class.  Shelter staff report that Carley is a smart girl.  She learns fast and is very eager to please.

Carley's adoption fees have been reduced to 1/2 price.  For more information about Carley contact Dogwood Animal Shelter at 573-348-4411 or via email

Some of you may remember that I first featured Carley as an adoptable dog in April of this year.  She is still there - waiting for a loving forever home.  Dogwood is the same no-kill shelter as Hailey, the dog who had spent all 8 years of her life in the shelter.

Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no kill animal shelter that has been in operation for over 30 years.  Their services include:  low-cost spay/neuter clinic, obedience classes, and more.  They are funded exclusively by donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Thrift Shop in Camdenton, Missouri.

Senior Dogs Available for Adoption: Tuesday Tails

Oran - Adoptable Senior Black Lab Mix at Stray Rescue of St Louis

 Oran is 12 1/2 year old, male black Lab mixed breed dogs available for adoption from Stray Rescue of St Louis.  According to shelter staff:

Oran is one of the most loved dogs ever rescued.  He's quite the character.  Very sweet and friendly.  He loves to do for long, leisurely strolls and is a perfect gentleman on a leash.  He would do best in a home where he is the only pet unless it is a dog like his girlfriend, Josephine.

Oran is eligible for Stray Rescue's Seniors For Seniors program. Senior citizens (preferably, but not limited to, those on a fixed income) who adopt an older dog are able to do so without paying the adoption fee.  If necessary, Stray Rescue will provide food and medical care for the life of the dog.

Josephine - Adoptable Senior Shepherd Dog at Stray Rescue of St Louis

 Josephine is a 9 1/2 year old female Shepherd mixed breed dog.  Here's what Stray Rescue shelter staff has to say:

Josephine is one of the sweetest dogs we've ever rescued.  She was found in a horrible area of town with her 3 little puppies.  She had a makeshift home for them underneath a dilapidated house.  She did a wonderful job keeping them safe and healthy. 

Josephine's puppies have already gone to their forever homes, but Josephine is still waiting.

She was a very, very sick girl and under strict orders from the vet that she was not to exert herself in any way.  It was touch and go for a few months, but now she is the picture of health.  She still has a slight cough that she'll probably alwasy have.  This is due to scarring of her trachea.  Since this is a pre-existing condition, Stray Rescue will cover the cost of her medicine.  It's just a pill she takes twice a day.  Put it in some braunschweiger and she'll gobble it right out of your hand.

She has the cutest little nub for a tail.  We've never seen it stop wagging.  You can even bring her home for a few days to see for yourself that she'll fit in perfectly at your house.  Just be prepared for lots of kisses.

For more information about Oran or Josephine, contact the Stray Rescue Pine Street Animal Shelter at 314-771-6121

Thor is one gorgeous dog!  Love that wavy coat and beautiful tail!

Thor is a Bernese Mountain dog mix.  He's three years old and already neutered.  Thor sits and takes treats gently.  He walks pretty well on a leash, but he's a big boy, so he could use some training on sometimes pulling.

Have some time for fetch and frisbe?  Thor is your guy.

Please watch Thor's adoption video and then give the Humane Society of Missouri in St Louis a call at 314-951-1562,  Thor's animal shelter ID number is A551251
