7. Raylan

Adult (10 years) · Male · German Shepherd Dog / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat) · 11 mi from Creve Coeur

This sweet boy was adopted from us as a puppy in 2016 and spent his entire life with a family. Sadly, we were recently notified that he was found in a known dumping area, where residents caught him on camera at night being chased by coyotes. Thankfully, a wonderful person stepped in to save him and immediately contacted us because his microchip was still registered with our rescue. We went and got him right away, and he has been resting and doing wonderfully in his foster home! We contacted his original adopter, who let us know they could no longer care for him and did not want him back. And that's okay, because we made Raylan a promise: His next family will be his FOREVER family!

Read more about Raylan

Now, let's talk about this amazing gentleman!

We found the answer to the question, "Who is the goodest of good boys?" And it's THIS sweet guy, Raylan!

We believe Raylan is a 50lb German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix, so he's got plenty of love, affection, and a desire to keep an eye on what you're doing throughout the day. At 10 years young, his wild and crazy days are behind him, and he's ready for an easygoing, loving home where he can enjoy the good life. Think cozy naps, leisurely days, companionship, and lots of love!

A few things to love about Raylan: Good with other dogs, not been cat tested, Housebroken, Knows several commands, Not destructive when left unsupervised. Can be a little vocal so not a fit for an apartment. Sweet, mature, and an all-around GOOD BOY!

Who wants to open their heart and home to this sweet old man? He deserves a soft place to land and a family who will love him FOREVER!

15. Mabel

Adult (6 years) · Female · Redbone Coonhound / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Creve Coeur

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.

Read more about Mabel

Mabel currently lives in a home with two other dogs and two young children. It's pretty clear that Mabel has no idea how to be a loved member of the family, though her foster home is working diligently on teaching her. If left to her own devices, Mabel will spend all of her time alone. Her foster family is slowly encouraging Mabel to spend time near everyone else, though it will not happen overnight. Mabel has learned that solitude is safety, so she has a lot of new experiences ahead of her. She does enjoy gentle pets, kind voices and walks (it's when she's her most confident self). She has started wagging her tail more and more, and likes lifting up her paw to ask for pets. She is potty trained and crate trained, though she has never destroyed anything when left out alone. While Mabel is around 70 pounds currently, she has quite a bit to lose and is working hard on slimming down.

Her ideal family would be someone with a quiet home and a bucket full of patience. She'd thrive with someone who will continue to gently push her to be part of the family and not let her isolate one hundred percent of the time. She enjoys the company of other calm dogs and would likely do well with cats. She's gentle with the kids in her foster home, and would do fine with other respectful kiddos. A fenced in yard would be a huge plus, and she'd love a family who will take her on regular walks.

She may take some work, but the reward will be worth it.

16. Honeysuckle

Puppy (5 months 5 days) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 13 mi from Creve Coeur

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

Read more about Honeysuckle

Honey has not been crate trained but she is housebroken and is fine to leave in the house. She doesn’t chew or destroy anything but if you leave a plate of food unattended it won’t be there when you get back!

19. Brent

Adult (9 months) · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Creve Coeur

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.

Read more about Brent

Brent currently lives in a foster home with two female dogs and two young children. We think he'd love a dog to play with, but his canine foster siblings aren't the playing type, so he's great at coexisting with them. He's loving with his human foster siblings, and absolutely ADORES cuddling. If it was up to Brent, he'd spend his whole life snuggling with his people. Brent is a happy guy and exudes joy.

Brent can usually be found playing with toys, pretending he's a beagle and looking for food, or snuggling with his foster family. He knows "sit", "lay down" and is potty and crate trained (though admittedly he is not a fan of being crated long periods). Brent very much enjoys walks and would love to explore the outdoors with his new family. Brent has never met a stranger he didn't like (though periodically they've wished he was less enthusiastic about meeting them).

In Brent's ideal home, he'd have a fenced-in yard, be allowed on the furniture (see: cuddling), have parents that are home more than not, have someone who enjoys daily walks and have a family who is ok continuing his training. He'd be happy with or without another dog and with or without kids.

Whoever ends up with his guy is one lucky family.

Please note that Brent has recently been through heartworm treatment. He has to be kept on restricted activity until November 20 (which basically just means he has to keep his heartrate down). His foster mom is more than happy to tell you more about what this requires!

20. Sicily

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (long coat) · 13 mi from Creve Coeur

Sicily is a sweet female german shepherd mix and weighs around 60 lbs. She is 3 - 5 years old.

She is crate trained but doesn't need to be crated.

She is housebroke and walks well on a leash.

She was owned at one time but was kicked out of the home because she kept getting pregnant and the man got another dog, so she was left outside and had her last litter which we took in and we spayed her and as soon as we had a foster for her, she came into our rescue.

Read more about Sicily

She was very shy at first but now she wants belly rubs and likes laying on the couch. She is even starting to play. She seems to like female dogs better than males that get in her face. She is going to be a great family pet, not sure about little kids though.

We contact the applicant’s veterinarian to verify they have a good history of previous (or current) pet care. We meet the applicant at Petsmart or at their home to allow them to interact with the pet they are interested in adopting. If all goes well the adoption is finalized. We have an adoption contract, requiring regular vet care, indoor homes, return to us if it doesn’t work out, etc. Our dog adoption fee is $175, cats range from $80 for older cats to $125 for kittens

Adopting a dog in Creve Coeur

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
