Margarita is a sweet, shy cautious introverted young lady who is full of joy and love once she is settled and trust you.
We are unsure of her history as she came to rescue from someone who had just gotten her from another situation.
She doesnt like loud noises or fast sudden movements, and will take a while to warm up to people. Once she does accept you she likes to play and get loves. She Loves Loves LOVES food and treats.
She is more comfortable and happy with dogs her size then people. She does ok with cats, she likes to try and play chase with them, so if the cat is open to 4 legged games. Her current bestie is a poddle mix and they run and play it, wrestle with each other, use the house and yard as a race track, steal toys from each other and generally just bring joy and mayhem together.
She does great in the car but is slow to learn the leash, outside her space is a big scary place so patience and a fully fenced in yard is a must.

Meet Lucky, a 2 year old lab mix weighing about 55 pounds. He was rescued from an abandoned house then adopted out from the shelter just to be sold online. He is such a sweet boy that loves to cuddle and loves kids. He is crate trained and potty trained. He loves to go on walks and playing with his toys. He is dog to dog friendly and is good with cats. He really is the perfect dog. The best home for Luckynwould be a home with an active family that can include him in their daily activities.

Meet Teddy, a very sweet and loving, 2 year old Australian Shepherd who has never met a stranger. Unfortunately his owner can no longer keep him because he works too many hours and Teddy is crated more than the breed should be. He is great with other dogs and loves going to the dog park. He is potty trained, neutered, and up to date on shots.
Because Teddy is an Australian Shepherd, he would do best with an active family and a fenced yard.
NOTE: This is a courtesy post only. Teddy is not affiliated with All Paws rescue.

Huey, formally known as Houston is a nine year old Beagle/Heeler mix. Her owner recently passed away and she is looking for a new home. She has been very sad but is starting to come around.

Tate proves that being a senior doesn’t mean slowing down! At 13 years old, he’s still spunky, playful, and full of personality; though he certainly appreciates a good nap and some quiet downtime, too.Tate was originally adopted through Heartland in 2014. While we don’t know the full story of what happened in the years that followed, we do know that the owner who adopted him passed away at some point. After that, Tate’s story becomes a mystery until this past July, when a St. Louis County citizen found him wandering on his own. She took him in, had him scanned for a microchip, and that scan led him right back to Heartland.Today, Tate is living his best senior life with his foster mom and three feline foster siblings.

Meet Bean, a sweet 6 month old petite girl weighing about 25 pounds. Her parents were part of an animal cruelty case so she spent her first few weeks at the shelter. She is oh spoiled, sassy, sweet, and wants loving from everyone she meets. She is constantly around kids who take turns holding her. She is in a home with 3 other dogs and gets along with them just fine though is learning when to stop harassing them. Being a typical puppy, she is working on going potty outside but doing better.
if you are aware of what it takes to raise a puppy and looking for an absolute love bug who is eager to please and learn, she won’t disappoint.

Jupiter was boarded at Country Acres Pet Resort, but sadly, her owner never came back to pick her up. She was left behind, and what should have been a temporary boarding stay turned into an uncertain future.
It took a lot of work and jumping through hoops to legally retain Jupiter, but Country Acres Rescue wasn't going to give up!
Now, Jupiter deserves a chance to leave the past behind and find people who will love her for a lifetime.

Jael is a beautiful little 4 month old 20lb terrier/lab mix that has lots of puppy energy.

She loves to run, jump, play, and chew on her many toys! She absolutely loves to snuggle and love on her people. The more brother and sister dogs the better! She would do well in a home with an older dog sibling to show her the ropes.

Jael is house-trained with regular outdoor breaks. Her puppy enthusiasm can sometimes lead to jumping or playful nipping, so she may thrive with older children who can gently reinforce good behavior. Any family would be fortunate to welcome her home!

Barney

Dog friendly

LOVESSSS people and absolutely thrives on attention

Not a jumper — no surprise tackles

Very treat motivated (the way to this boy's heart is through his stomach!)

Loves car rides

Crate trained

cats are unknown

Barney had a rough start in life. After his owners moved, he was left behind, chained to barrels, and underweight. Thankfully, an amazing Good Samaritan stepped in, took him in, fed him, gave him a safe place to stay, and showed him the love he always deserved.

Meet Franswa!

Franswa is an 8-year-old Frenchton, but don't let his age fool you! This boy is still full of life and has plenty of pep in his step! He loves going for walks, taking car rides, and spending time with his favorite people. He's incredibly friendly and happily greets everyone who is willing to give him a little love and attention. He's also good with children!

Franswa does have a history of ear infections that left him with a permanently deformed cauliflower ear with significant scar tissue. But that doesn't stop this sweet boy from enjoying life!

He's ready to find a family to love him forever!

Meet Bindi: Small Package, BIG Personality!

At 2 years old and 29 pounds, Bindi is the total package! This smart, fun-loving cattle dog mix might just be the most dog-friendly foster we've ever brought home. She loves other dogs and is great with cats, too!

Bindi is potty trained, clever, playful, and full of personality. She's always up for an adventure, but her favorite job might just be professional cuddle buddy.

Once the fun winds down, she's happy to snuggle up close and remind you just how lovable she is.

Ivory

Bully mix

Approx. 4 y/o

Approx. 45 pounds

Great with dogs/strangers/kids and said to be good with cats

Meet Ivory!

Meet Demitra!

Demitra is a sweet girl hoping to find a family to call her own! She may be a little shy at first, but give her a little love and she’ll warm right up. She’s dog-friendly and would love a fenced yard to run, play, and enjoy life. She’s still learning her kennel, potty, and leash skills and would thrive with a patient family ready to help her grow. Could you be her happily ever after?

Mabel is a soft and gentle soul. She is not your typical hound. She is not exuberant or naughty. She is not the class clown. Instead, Mabel is a wallflower, trying her hardest to bloom.

Mabel was originally living as a stray in southern Missouri, periodically showing up on local farms. After months on the run, someone was able to catch her and she was taken in by a kind family. Mabel retreated to their basement, where she stayed for the next 2 years, interacting with them minimally. While they loved her very much, they knew she deserved more than they could give her and they reached out to us.

Honeysuckle has had a rough start in life. She was a stray who was picked up by animal control. She will need a patient family to continue her progress

Honey is approximately 6 months old. While she’s still wary of situations, food will overcome her fear. She’s very food motivated and will sit in your lap if she thinks she can look pitiful enough for you to give her a bite

She’s still unsure in new situations. She’s hasn’t had much socialization.

Honey will require a securely fenced yard. Another confident dog in the home is required to help her figure out how to be a dog

Chowy is a 13-week-old male Lab, Chow, and Retriever mix puppy with a gorgeous light brown coat and a heart full of curiosity. Weighing around 20 lbs, this handsome little boy is friendly, playful, and loves spending time outdoors.

He is currently working on his house-training and basic puppy obedience, showing great enthusiasm for learning and exploring. He loves to play with little kids and enjoy playing with small/big dogs.

This is Brent and he's exactly who you think he is based on his name. Brent is an all-American dude with a love for football, beer and finance (probably). Brent is blissfully clueless that his two braincells are working overtime, and that's exactly how he likes it.

Brent originally came into the local animal control as a stray and quickly became a volunteer favorite. As time went on, Brent became more and more stressed and landed himself on the euthanasia list. Luckily for him, he had plenty of people who adored him and advocated for him. He caught his fosters eye and the rest is history.
