✨SHAREEF✨ !desperately! needs a foster or adopter! He’s currently in a short-term foster home, but he’s on the LIFE SAVER list because shelter life has been EXTREMELY stressful for him. We urgently want to find him a new foster or adopter so he doesn’t have to return to the shelter.
This lovable goofball is potty trained, crate trained, and non-destructive. His foster describes him as non-destructive in the home—he respects boundaries and doesn’t get into things he shouldn’t. He’s quick to learn what’s okay to play with and what’s not. When left alone he is quiet and doesn’t bark. His foster has eveb left him in a play pen when she leaves and he stays there in his own little space until she returns. Shareef is also a good walking buddy—whether you’re walking, jogging, or running, he matches your pace.
While he can be a bouncy, playful pup, Shareef is also a bit unsure at times, so he may be best in a home without young kids. He’s come a long way in building confidence, but he may be a little shy at first, especially around men. With patience (and a few tasty treats!), he warms up quickly. He loves hugs and cuddles and is guaranteed to make you laugh.
Shareef enjoys going on pack walks with his shelter friends and may do well with other dogs after slow introductions. He likely has a rough-and-rowdy play style, so the CARE STL Volunteer Training team is ready to assist with dog introductions and any training support.
If you’re looking for an affectionate, entertaining, and eager-to-please companion, Shareef is ready to meet you! Please share to help keep Shareef from returning to the shelter!

Today, we witnessed something truly special that melted our hearts!💖

These two came in today and look at how they sought comfort in each other. Just look at how they lay in, their paws reaching out to each other, as if to say, "I'm here for you."

In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, it’s these small moments of connection reminds us of the power of companionship.

One of them couldn't stand or even move, and is very skinny; the fur makes them look much heavier than they actually are. From this point on, they will receive only love and care ❤️

Lady Rapunzel is a sweetheart who was brought to us because she kept trying to get into the house where she was hanging out. It turns out she's pregnant and just a few weeks away from having kittens. We would love to get her into a foster home so that she doesn't give birth in the shelter. Is anyone able to pick her up before we close at 7 this evening?

UPDATE from Dr. Morgan: we pulled out 126 nails from his stomach and he’ll need to be on IV fluids support for a while. Thank god for the donation that will cover all of his supportive care too. He's not out of the woods but he made it through surgery - 126 nails ‼️

Dr. Morgan is taking the puppy home so she can monitor him overnight as his temp is still low. Please send prayers for him 🙏😔

🚨 URGENT SURGERY NEEDED 🚨

This sweet 4-month-old puppy just arrived at our shelter today in critical condition. An X-ray revealed that he had ingested multiple nails, and he needed emergency surgery immediately to save his life. 💔

Our medical team is acting quickly, but we need your help! Please consider donating to support his surgery and medical care. We estimated that the surgery would cost $800. Every dollar makes a difference in giving this little one a fighting chance.

March wants to show everyone how calm he is in his crate. Can someone come take him home so he doesn't have to live in a crate in an overcrowded shelter?

🌟 URGENT: BILLIE EILISH NEEDS A HOME! 🌟

This sweet girl, Billie Eilish, is currently in a foster home but will have to return to the shelter on March 5th if we can't find her a new foster or forever home before then. 🐾

Billie is a bundle of love with the most affectionate nature, a gentle demeanor, and a playful spirit. Here’s what we know about her:

❤️‍🔥 She’s 100% potty trained
❤️‍🔥 Knows commands like sit, lay, and stay
❤️‍🔥 Quiet and easy-going (we’ve only heard her bark once!)
❤️‍🔥 Great at independent play, but also loves to play with you
❤️‍🔥 Will happily cuddle or chill out—whatever you prefer
❤️‍🔥 Absolutely adores humans (she’s all about that love!)
❤️‍🔥 Non-destructive (has free reign of the house and hasn’t chewed a thing!)
❤️‍🔥 Dog friendly but selective—she’s done well in playgroups at the shelter and has been in foster homes with other dogs before (with slow, proper introductions)

Billie is ready to shower you with love and affection—she just needs a place to call home. Can you help us keep her out of the shelter? 💖

If you can foster or adopt Billie, please reach out ASAP! Let’s give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves! 🙏

Fish n chips is really suffering at the shelter... he lives in this state of anxiety all day every day. All the bubbles on the wall are from him licking and slobbering all over (licking is a way for them to try to self soothe). Let's please get him out today 🙏

🌟 MEET DENNY DINERO – THE SWEETEST BOY YOU’LL EVER MEET! 🌟

This 1 1/2-year-old, 47lb heartthrob, Denny Dinero, is ready to find his forever family! He’s come a long way after being found in a crate for days, and now he’s proving to be an absolute gem. 💖

A volunteer recently had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Denny, and here’s what we found out:

🐾 The perfect passenger: Denny jumped right into the car, lay down, or sniffed the air out the window. He didn’t make a peep!
🐾 Super chill during baths: He was scared but allowed me to clean him without any fuss.
🐾 Big-time snuggler: This boy loves to cuddle and just wants to be loved!
🐾 Tennis ball fanatic: Denny LOVES playing fetch and can do it forever! 🎾
🐾 Training pro: He knows sit, can catch, and even shake/paw!
🐾 No barking: He’s a calm boy and has only barked once!
🐾 Cat curious but non-aggressive: He was very curious about the cat, but when the cat slipped out, he wasn’t aggressive at all and came to me when called.
🐾 Almost potty trained: Denny had 2 small accidents, but once I learned his signals, there were no further issues!
🐾 Great on walks: He was the BEST on walks—no pulling at all, and he was non-reactive to people or other dogs. He even passed by some fries on the ground without incident! 🍟
🐾 Crate training needed: Denny did ok in the crate but was a little unsettled. He did sleep in the bed and was non-destructive in the room. He may need some work with crating, but he’s got so many great qualities already!

Denny Dinero is the perfect boy for an active family or someone who loves snuggles just as much as playing fetch. He’s sweet, calm, and eager to please—could he be the one for you?

Don't wait! This amazing boy won’t be available for long! 💖

🐾 Meet Daniela: Your Future Best Friend!🐾

Are you ready to welcome a sweet furball into your life? Say hello to Daniela, a lovable 60-pound pittiepotamus with a heart as big as her adorable, chonky frame! At just 2.5 years old, this sweet and easygoing girl is on the lookout for a foster or forever home where she can spread her love and joy.

Daniela was found in an abandoned building alongside another dog, showcasing her resilient spirit and ready-to-love attitude. She strikes the perfect balance between affectionate and laid-back, making her an ideal companion for anyone seeking a fun yet low-maintenance pup.

With her short, sturdy build, she’s an absolute delight to walk—though you might find it hard to keep your focus with all that cuteness! Whether she’s trotting beside you on a stroll or lounging at home soaking up belly rubs, Daniela is sure to fill your life with warmth and happiness.

She’s patiently waiting for her special someone—could that be you? While we’re unsure about her compatibility with kids or cats, one thing’s for sure: she’s ready to be loved!

We’re offering fee-waived adoptions, so now is the perfect time to meet this gorgeous girl! Swing by the shelter today until 6 PM, or visit us tomorrow from 10 AM to 6 PM. If you're interested in meeting Daniela, email us at [email protected], or just come on over!

Don’t miss out on the chance to bring this bundle of joy into your life! 💖🐶 Pls share 🙏
