For the Love of Ludo

For the Love of Ludo This small rural rescue began with one dog. Today, his legacy continues. All proof that even one person, one home, and one dog can make all the difference.

Every life saved, every scared dog comforted, every hungry dog fed, every hopeless dog shown love.

Meet the ultimate trio! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore! These three little rascals are about 14 weeks old and are ready to find their forever homes. They were found dumped on a rural backroad with their mom and an unopened bag of kibble - talk about a rough start! They were starving!! But don't worry, they've been fattened up and are now up to date on all their vetting, vaccinations, and preventatives. They're at the perfect age to learn some new tricks and get showered with love. Can you give one of these little cuties a warm home for the holidays? Please share so they can find their forever families! ❤️🙏❤️

Thank You for Your Patience!

Thank you all so much for being here. This page is currently under construction and will be updated soon! I took a much-needed break to get things in order behind the scenes and work toward becoming fully licensed so I can continue this mission the right way — and I’m proud to say that part was a success! ❤️

To everyone who encouraged me, supported me, or simply reminded me why this work matters — thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As I get everything updated, please be patient with me. In the meantime:

🐾 We have several sweet souls searching for their forever homes.
🐾 We also have several dogs in need of temporary foster homes.

If you’ve ever considered fostering, now is a wonderful time to step in. I provide all supplies, vetting, and support — you provide love and a safe place to land. ❤️🙏

A gentle note:
Please avoid overwhelming me with requests to rehome dogs due to circumstantial situations. My focus is — and always has been — on dogs who are in immediate danger, abandoned, neglected, or urgently needing a safe place to go.

Thank you for understanding, for caring, and for continuing to walk alongside me in this rescue journey.

For the Love of Ludo wouldn’t exist without you. ❤️🐾

Share Share Share!! 🙏 This sweet darling girl was found on Burch Way near Brashear Missouri 5 days ago. The finders have been feeding her but their dogs were not happy about it and she just wasn't welcome anymore. She is now with us. ❤️ She was scanned for a microchip first thing and she does have one!! Unfortunately it was never registered but it was originally sold to Linquist Vet Clinic in Kirksville Missouri. Also unfortunate that they are unable to find records for her owner. She is about 6 years old, maybe older, and weighs 35 pounds. Super super sweet girl. Let's get her reunited with her family!! ❤️🙏❤️

Another happy announcement!! Also a little late.. 🤷‍♀️ Mr. LuckyButt has found his forever home with the same lovely family who adopted Miss Marcy over a year ago! ❤️ It's heartwarming to see him thriving in his new environment, surrounded by so much love and happiness. This family's kindness and compassion are a testament to the power of second chances, and I'm honored to have been a part of their journey.❤️🎉❤️

This is Nikki-Redd!! She is about a year and a half old. She's very sweet, playful, and just an overall happy girl. She is good with most dogs, ornery with the cat but not mean. Hasn't been tested with little kids, but would be OK with older ones. She's not real big, weighing in at around 50 pounds. She loves to go for car rides and is a super snuggler. She's obsessed with having her own toys. She's housetrained, potty trained, kennel trained and does really well on a leash. She's up to date on all of her vaccines and preventatives. We are currently doing a kill-off of heartworms and then she will still need a spay. She'd love to find a quieter place to recover from that. Please keep her sweet face in mind! ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

This is Hazel! She's not even one year old yet, but getting really really close. This one is absolutley full of personality. She will keep you laughing and smiling for sure. She is a lover of all dogs although she approaches everything and everybody with a little caution. She's pint sized, about 50 pounds. She had a pretty rough start to life and didn't get to be a puppy when she was a puppy so right now she's all puppy. But she's been taught to live in a house amongst others. She's very much housetrained, 98 percent potty trained, great with other dogs as long as they can handle her energy. Ornery as heck with the cat, but not mean. She does wonderful on a leash and loves her car rides and public outings where she can meet new friends. She will stay close by and has never ever left the yard. She is up to date on all of her vaccines and preventatives and she's scheduled for a spay soon. Please keep this sweet girl in mind. She's pretty dern awesome! ❤️❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

This is Smarty Marty Party Pants! Marty for short! 😍😍 You will not find a more loyal dog than this one. He's about 4 years old. Weighs close to 100 pounds. Not sure on his breeds, but thinking that he has shephard and akita in him. Marty is absolutley wonderful at home with the female dogs but cautious with the males and likes to scare them off. In public he ignores all other dogs and walks perfectly on a leash. He is very very patient and will lay or sit at your feet no matter where you are or what you're doing. He loves his car rides and leashed walks, but mostly loves public outings where he can watch your back and show off his wonderful behavior. He's cat curious but not mean at all. He's fully housetrained and potty trained and does not need to be kenneled at all, for any reason. He's pretty clingy but that's OK, it's his personality. He just wants to be loved. He's up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives and is scheduled for a nueter in the near future. Marty is good with kids but he doesn't have alot of exposure to them. He would probably do best with a mature adult of his own who would take him everywhere. He has all the traits of a well trained service dog. Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. ❤️

This is Mr Biggs!! ❤️ He's a big boy. He weighs about 120 pounds now. He's about 5 years old and he's a gentle giant who will force you to take him on car rides because that's his absolute favorite thing ever. That's where you can catch him with the biggest smile in the world! Otherwise he is pretty straight faced and looks like he wants to have a serious conversation about life. He's huge, but he doesn't jump on people. He's good with a few other dogs but slow introductions are a must and he wants his toys and food unbothered and untouched by any other animals. He is not okay with cats at all. Great with kids though! He's 1000 percent housetrained and potty trained. He's been here almost 4 months now and has never had a single accident in the house. He has his own room and he keeps that thing spotless. He's completley up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives and he is now neutered too! He would love to have a forever family of his own, he just needs to know that his food bowl will always be full and he will be nothing but loved and adored. ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰🥰

UPDATE: HE FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME AND HUMANS!! ❤️❤️

This is Potato! 😍 He's not much over a year old. And he's an incredibly good boy. Fun sized too, weighing in at around 50 pounds. He's fully vetted, up to date on vaccines and preventatives and he's been nuetured too. He's completely house trained and potty trained. Loves going for leashed walks and car rides. He's great with other dogs, but prefers to eat alone. He's cat curious but not mean. He has a thing where he gets really really happy and excited and does this little chomp chomp thing with his mouth and teeth. Because of this he needs a home without little bitty kids. He is not mean at all, he's just a chomper. He's full of personality and is just happy to be with his humans. ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

UPDATE!! THIS SWEET BOY FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME AND HUMANS!! ❤️❤️

This is Ryland!! HE IS AMAZING!! ❤️❤️ He's a full blooded rottweiler. He's looking for a forever home and humans of his own. He used to have that but they tortured and abused him before throwing him out on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere to fend for himself. 😢😢 He's been with me for a few months now where he has been through a couple of operations for his injuries related to the torture and he has finally healed up completley and is ready to start his happily ever after. He is just a little over 2 years old, completley up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives, he's been nuetured, and he's heartworm negative. He is an incredible young man. He's very very loyal. I think he would prefer to live with a single lady but would also warm up to men and he absolutely loves little kids. He can be ornery with the cat but not mean. He does well with other dogs and he loves to go on car rides but not on curvy hilly blacktops, he's been known to get car sick on them. He's 100 percent house trained and potty trained and has ZERO accidents. His main request would be that he wants to be able to sleep in the bed with his human. Crates and kennels are unnecessary with this guy. He also doesn't chew or destroy things that aren't his. You really couldn't ask for a better dog. Perfect would be an understatement with this one. He does well in public settings too. Because of the nature and location of his abuse, he will not be able to be adopted out locally. He is located near Kirksville Missouri but is very well known amongst people who are no good. There is absolutely no room for mis-haps that may come up and we are not willing to take a chance on him ending up back where he came from. Therefore travel arrangements can absolutey be made for the right family. Please reach out if you think you'd be perfect for him. He deserves the absolute best that this world has to offer. ❤️🙏❤️
