Show Me St. Louis Pet of the Week: Sonny!

Sonny is a 40 lb red-nosed pit bull, male--who is extremely puppy-like!

He loves to play with his stuffed animals and bones--and loves the dogpark. He is great with other dogs, kids and people--but likes to chase cats so it's better if he's not in a home with cats.

Sonny is a one year old pit bull terrier who is a super sweet and active boy!  Sonny is very smart and would like to be in a home that will walk him regularly, and possibly take him for runs. He is a beautiful boy with a super cute face. This dog is going to be a lot of fun for someone who is willing to put in the time and training he needs. Happy go Lucky is the perfect term for him.

Sonny's foster mom says he is a TOTAL snuggle bug and wants nothing more than to be next to you. He melds his body against yours and sits there quietly wanting lots of love. Sonny is still considered a toddler and won't be an adult until he is two years old. His favorite toys are his squeaky toys and his stuffed animals!!!

Sonny is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

-2º on Friday. Please help us get some dogs off of the streets

We were able to rescue Chenille on Tuesday. Turns out she is not pregnant. Doesn't she look pregnant?

She is being treated for heartworm and is safe at the vet, but still needs a foster home.

Which brings me to why I am sending this newsletter. It is COLD outside and it is only getting colder. We will pull as many dogs as we have fosters for.

That's right! If YOU will foster, then we can save another dog from these bone chilling temperatures.

Some of the dogs we would still like to pull who we don't have fosters for are Malcom & Nigella (although we are still trying to confirm that Nigella does not have any puppies on the street). Nigel and Nina both have been spoken for, but we will not leave Nigella behind without them. There are MANY more dogs that we will pull if we only have a home to put them in.

If you have ever thought about fostering, now is the time. If you would need help with food we will help you. We pay for all veterinary care and typically find the dogs a home pretty quickly.

An Update and an EMERGENCY Rescue

Doesn't Chenille just look so cold?

Malcom is her very sweet buddy.

Do you see Chenille in the background here? She is usually all wiggles for us, but was too cold to move today.


Let me just start by saying that I just can't tell you how amazing everyone has been with helping to rescue Nigel's pack. In the past few days we were able to rescue Hooper's Girl, Albert and 9 puppies. Still left are Nigel, Nigella and Nina. Those are the three that we don't want to split up. We think that the 9 puppies included Nigella's litter, but we are not 100% sure so we are not comfortable pulling her off of the streets until we are 100%. Which means, we cannot pull Nigel or Nina yet either. We are going to keep looking to be sure and should be able to rescue within the next week or two. If you volunteered to foster one of these sweeties, please stand by.

AND NOW FOR THE EMERGENCY:

We just discovered that Tweed and Argyle's mom Chenille is pregnant AGAIN. She looks like she is about ready to pop. She hangs out with one other dog by the Ameren station in a dirt pile. We would like to get these two off the streets ASAP. Chenille is soooo cold. She barely has a coat of fur and just sits and shivers, sometimes barely moving when we pull up. We do NOT want to leave Malcom behind. He will be alone if we do that and that is never a good thing.

Both of these dogs are very sweet. A little shy, but will be fabulous once we get them.

If you have a basement that is concrete or an area that is secluded in your house, you would be the perfect candidate to take Chenille. She would be forever grateful!
