UPDATE: We are aware this dog was brought to us with a false story and is not lost. This dog has serious injuries we are working to assess and will provide an update once we’re able. Thank you everyone for reaching out ❤️

Do you recognize me? I am currently a lost pet at Animal Allies waiting for my family to come get me.
I was found near the 3900 block of Crosby Rd in St. Louis County.
I am a spayed female German Shorthair Pointer who was wearing a red collar with no tags, and I am not microchipped.
If you see your pet here, please call 218-722-5341. Our staff will return your call during our regular business hours and your pet will be well cared for in the meantime.
These pets will be cared for during the state-mandated 5-day stray hold, and then placed into our adoption program if they are not reclaimed. Animals here are NOT available for adoption at this time.

This racing Alaskan Husky has a back injury. He is on two different pain medications and still quite painful. We are using electro-acupuncture to help relieve his pain and speed up healing.

What is an acupuncture point?

Acupoints are anatomic locations on or just under the skin with bundles of neuro fibers that secrete neurotransmitters and neuromodululators.

Did you know…
Acupuncture reduces pain by releasing endogenous opiods which reduce pain and reduce the need for pain relieving medications.
