Say hello to Jackie, the wiggly, energetic, and oh-so-sweet Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of potential. At just one year old and 20 lbs, Jackie is making great strides in potty training and is progressing with crate training. She’s a fun-loving pup who absolutely adores playtime, toys, and treats, and she would thrive in a home with one or two calm, similarly sized doggie friends.

Jackie can be shy at first, but once she warms up, expect cuddles, kisses, and zoomies galore! Due to her jumpy excitement, she’s best suited for a household without small children. A fenced yard is a must for this high-energy girl who loves to run and explore. Jackie is looking for a patient, calm environment where she can feel safe and supported as she builds confidence.

Daisy is a beautiful 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix searching for a peaceful forever home where she can truly thrive. This young girl was surrendered when her energy and nervousness became too much for her previous family to manage, especially in a busy household with small children. Because of this, Daisy would do best in a calm environment with adults or older children (13+). She’s sweet, sensitive, and eager to bond—she just needs the right setting to blossom.

Daisy is a dream on walks—she may zigzag a little to take in the smells of nature, but she rarely pulls. She knows basic commands, enjoys bath time, and is eager to please. With her soulful eyes, soft coat, and medium build, she’d make a perfect couch companion and adventure buddy. Daisy is ready to share her love with someone patient, gentle, and committed to helping her build confidence. Learn More

This stunning Husky is part of the Humane Society of Missouri’s Foster-to-Adopt program and is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Instead of spending this recovery period in the shelter, this loyal and gentle soul is looking for a quiet foster home to heal in—possibly with their forever family.

HSMO will provide all medical care, food, and supplies during the foster period. All you need to do is offer a calm space and limit activity—no running or roughhousing, just short 15-minute leashed walks 3–4 times a day. Once treatment is complete, you’ll be able to finalize the adoption and give this Husky the life of adventure and love they deserve. Learn More

Wowzers! Look at Wilma! She is a German Shepherd who came in as a stray on 3/11/2025 along with her sister Betty. We nicknamed them because everyone deserves to have a name, right? She is thought to be just 10 months old and not yet spayed. She is listed as 36-75 lbs with a beautiful brown and black coat with deep brown eyes. She is friendly, playful and has great puppy energy! 🐶

She appears to be housebroken and is “Shepherd” smart and likely easy to train. She is excited to get outside so getting a collar on can be a bit challenging, but she is easy to walk with a leash. She can pull a bit when she sees something exciting. She and her sis love each other very much but they are not considered a bonded pair and can be adopted separately. Learn More
