Adoptable Dog of the Week

Sweet Perry has grown up in the pound, but he hasn't let it get him down one bit. Perry came in as a 20 lb tyke and is now a furry 60 lb lover who needs a home and a family to call his own.

Perry is now 10 months old and has been behind bars for 6 months. That's just not fair! He's such a good boy. He loves other dogs. He loves people. He loves kids. He loves toys! Perry would do great in a home with an active family and plenty of room to romp and play or a fenced yard.

We want to see this boy receiving the love and attention he deserves. If you are interested in Perry, please PM us!

Hey friends. New Madrid Animal Control has many dogs who are looking for adopters or a rescue to intake them.

For years this pound has managed to keep dogs moving into rescues primarily and it's been such a blessing. But since covid, the rescue world is very different. Moving dogs to rescues is difficult and can be a slow process. The sad fact is that there are too many dogs across the country all competing for the same limited spots.

That means amazing dogs sit and sit and that's sad and detrimental to their emotional and mental well being. Sometimes vetting them fully makes it easier for a rescue to accept because their funds are limited just like every non-profit. But sometimes even that doesn't make much of an impact and the bully breeds are the hardest hit...because every shelter and pound across the United States has them in vast multitudes.

If you have ever considered adoption, now is the time. We want to see these babies move on to loving homes where they are cared for and treated like family. If you are interested in ANY of our babies please PM us today.

I know first hand that New Madrid is a community filled with animal lovers who are generous and community service is an important facet of life in New Madrid. Pounds are often overlooked and frequently folks don't even realize the town does still have a pound. If you can't adopt or foster but would like to help out, donations of dog food, treats, blankets, toys, collars, and leashes is always appreciated and can always be put to use. Sharing our posts is another way to help. You never know when someone might see a dog in a shared post and an adoption comes from it!

Thank you all for being supporters of New Madrid Animal Control. We appreciate all of you deeply.

Are you looking for a dog who will love you deeply? Look at you with love in her eyes? Smile because she knows you are her safe person?

Look no further than Suzy. Little Suzy was picked up at the apartments in New Madrid. Dana Perry had a devil of a time getting her. She was terrified and more than a little growly. He got her back to the pound and within 10 minutes she was relaxed because she saw Dana was her friend and wasn't going to hurt her. Someone has mistreated her terribly in the past.

Suzy requires a little bit of time and patience to warm up to you. But once she trusts you, she trusts you completely and she loves you with her whole heart.

Suzy at a glance
📌 Around 2 years old
📌 50 lb range with short legs. She's a true low rider.
😃 Spayed
💉 Up to date on vaccinations
🐍 Dewormed
💔 Heartworm positive...she has received a round of Doxycycline and Advantage Multi but will require further care

Don't let the heartworms stop you from giving Suzy her chance. She truly deserves it!

If you spot them please message me!

***There is another brown pit who is pregnant or nursing and lives near Rameys. She has a collar on. The dog we are looking for does not have a collar on.***

If anyone would like to give one of the New Madrid pound fur kids a warm safe place to crash during the incoming horribly cold weather, please reach out to us. Any of these babies would love a break from the pound and to be warm and snug!

Merry Christmas from Rocky, a New Madrid Animal Control resident. Rocky is 4-6 years old and probably 80 lbs. He is a mellow, sweet baby who would love to be a lap dog. He's a real charmer who has done great with the other dogs in the pound.

If you have room in your heart to foster, adopt, or rescue Rocky please PM us. For potential adopters and fosters, please understand there is an application and vet references will be checked! Rocky is gentle, good with kids, and he's getting depressed in the pound after waiting for months to find a new place to call home.
