Story
Charlie is our sweet, 8-year-old puggle who has been with us since he was a puppy. He can be very lovable and playful but also loves to lay in a sunny spot and rest. Since our son was born 3 years ago, we’ve been able to give him less and less attention and now we are expecting a second child and growing more concerned that we can’t give him the life he deserves. He is friendly with other dogs and may enjoy a home with some pals or being an only dog. He isn’t incredibly mobile because of a tender ACL but still enjoys short walks and does well with stairs. Charlie has always received consistent medical care and grooming, is house trained, and quickly learned well to stay within the boundaries of our property with our Invisible Fence. Charlie is a great watch dog (and baby-waker) but too friendly to be a great guard dog. Charlie’s perfect home would include a soft blanket for him to snuggle under, a sunspot to lay in, and a loving owner that will enjoy his coziness and soft ears.

Story
We adopted Luna last winter from St. Louis County Animal Control. She had come in as a stray, so her history before is really unknown. We chose her because she was so friendly and sweet with everyone. She had about a month of daily professional training at Kennelwood, and her obedience is very good for a pet. She walks nicely on leash. She is friendly with children, cats, and other dogs. With small children and our 18 year old cat, she can sometimes be a little too friendly and rambunctious for them. While it breaks my heart, the reason we need to rehome her is that our schedule and environment just don't allow us to provide Luna the activity level she needs. She's an athletic dog who loves to run. I've taken her on runs of up to 4 miles and she loves it, but with 3 kids and a busy schedule, I just don't have time to do this every day. Walking a mile or two twice per day is just not enough for her. She would do great in a home with other dog friends where she could run and play.

Story
I adopted Hamilton (Ham) about 5 years ago when we were living in Colorado. He's probably around 5.5 years old now. He has always been passionate about fetch and particularly loves chasing after tennis balls and frisbees. He's also a strong swimmer and a dip in a pond or the ocean is a sure way to make his day. Ideally Ham would be the only pet in his new home, although a low-key cat could probably make an appropriate sibling. Ham would also prefer a home that only has older kids, if any. We are rehoming him because he doesn't get along with one of his canine siblings and as a result can't live his best life with us. Ham is loyal, affectionate and attentive. He enjoys hikes in the woods just as much as he enjoys snuggles on the couch. He's truly the sweetest soul.
