Liza
My name is Liza and I am a one-year-old hound mix. I came to the shelter in January as a stray so not much is known about my history. I just returned from an 8-week stint in the Puppies for Paroles program where I received all my basic training! I know all my basic commands, am house-broken and have even learned to walk well on a leash! Should you decide to come meet me you will immediately notice how sweet and friendly I am – I especially love to give hugs! Hurry though; I’m the total package so I won’t be here too much longer!
Pets from Previous Weeks
Zoey
Hi! My name is Zoey. I am a one-year old short-haired tabby. My owner had to surrender me because they were moving and could not have me in their new place. I am sweet, affectionate, lovable and get along well with other cats and kittens. I’ve also spent a lot of time with kids and am declawed in the front. I have lots of love to give and would make a great companion for a single person or would be a loving addition to any family.
Brownie
My name is Brownie and I am a 6-year-old German Shephard/Husky mix. I am super-sweet and have a very calm, laid-back personality. I’m very happy just lounging around and am pretty low maintenance. My owner passed away and I was sent to live with a family member who then became ill and could no longer care for me. I am currently being fostered by a shelter employee until I can find my forever home. I have some old injuries to my front feet, but you can hardly tell – I get around great. I would do best in a quiet and mellow home as I tend to get a little stressed when there’s lots of activity or noise.
Bowie
My name is Bowie. I am an 11-month old short-haired tabby mix. My buddies and I were recently brought to the shelter because our owner could no longer care for us. I am very laid-back, lovable and affectionate. I love to socialize with my human(s) and get along fine with other felines. Sometimes the other shelter cats try to pick on me, so I tend to keep to myself – I’m a lover, not a fighter! They take great care of me here at the shelter, but I am hoping to bond with someone and find my forever home very soon. Maybe that someone is you!
Eli
Hi! I’m Eli and, at three months old, I’m growing like a weed! Wanna know why? ‘cause I’m a Great Pyrenees/Labrador mix! I’m going to be a big boy when I grow up! Know what you get when you mix the two breeds? You get LOVE and a good family friend! That’s what! I’m looking for a forever family to play with me and teach me manners and social skills! I’d love a yard where I can play and a best friend that I can protect, play with, love on and snuggle on the couch with! So, please fill out an application and put “Eli” on the top. I’m hoping hard to hear from you!
Sophia
Here is “Sophia” she is a 8 year old Torti cat. She came to the shelter when her owner had to move and couldn’t take her with them. She is very sweet but she is a little temperamental. She likes to be loved on but wants to be left alone when she has had enough love. So if you are looking for a companion but able to give her space when she wants her space, Sophia would be a great companion. If Sophia sounds like a great fit for you please fill out an application and put “Sophia” at the top.
Kenai
Meet Kenai, a 9 month old Siberian Husky cross breed. He was brought to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about his history. He is a very sweet dog and loves attention! He is pretty good on a leash and knows some basic commands. He gets along with other dogs really well, but he is still a puppy so he has a lot of energy. He is part husky so he is considered a little bit of a talker and has a lot to say. Just fill out the application and add “Kenai” to the top.
Sadie
Ava
Can’t wait to meet you!
Winnie
Hi! Winnie’s my name! I’m nine months old and I love to play with my furry friends here at Dogwood! Know what I really want for Christmas? I’ve got all this love inside me and I want to share it with my very own loving family! That’s my Christmas wish! ‘course, if you have a sunny windowsill or even just a sunspot in your home, I wouldn’t mind that either. Playing, pouncing and snuggling would be great too! So, if you are looking for lots of love and joy, please fill out an application and put “Winnie” at the top! I’ll be here….patiently waiting.
Red
Hello! Red here! I’m a two year old Boxer/Heeler mix who loves EVERYBODY and loves to play! I’m also a Puppies for Parole graduate. I learned to “sit,” “stay,” and “leave it” on command! I really want my own family to love, maybe a toy or two, and TREATS! I love treats and toys, and I sure would love you!
Yep – a lot!
Kink
Hello everyone! My name is Kink, I am a 3 year old female black and brown short hair. I was living on the street and a nice lady was giving me shelter. She thought I needed to be in a place where I would be out of the elements and safe. I am so glad she did as I have met some very nice fur buddies. I would love to find a home with a nice big window to lay in and sun bathe. So if you are looking for a older cat, just fill out an application and put “kink” at the top. Look forward to hearing from you.
Frankie & Miss Kitty
Meet Frankie and Miss Kitty! Hello everyone!! We are a pair that loves each other cause we grew up together. We are 7 years old. Our family had to move and could not take us. So we were brought here to the shelter in hopes of finding a new family to love us and let us share our retirement years together. We get along great and are anxiously waiting for someone to come and get us. So if you are looking for a pair of great friends or even if you are just looking for one of us. We would be happy for the other. Please fill out an application and add both or one of us to the top. We will be waiting!!!!! Call the shelter at 573-348-4411 for more info!
Tyson
Hi! Tyson here! I’m not a pup anymore, but I’ve always had a kind old soul anyway – even in my younger days! I’m the kind of guy who will accept and love anybody just the way they are! I don’t need fancy toys, just a warm and loving hand on my head and a gentle scratch behind my ears! Maybe you could come and visit me at Dogwood, look into my eyes and see what a good friend I will be!
Dolly
I was brought to the shelter when my owner had to move and was unable to take me. I’m good with kids, cats and certain dogs, but not all dogs. I am house-trained, so that’s a plus. I like playing with tennis balls, frisbees and tug of war. I am a beagle so you know I love to talk and sing a lot. So if you are looking for a sweet, sweet gal with lots of energy fill out an application and put “Dolly” at the top. Looking forward to meeting you!!!!
Katrina
Meet Katrina a 6 year old grey and white tabby cat. She was found as a stray and brought to the shelter in 2015. She is very shy and spends a lot of her time hiding in a cat tower. She has learned to like the people that work here and have been getting better about getting pets and scratches. If you have the patience to work with a shy cat, you should think about her!
Dart
I was abandoned! My family just up and moved away, without me! Suddenly, I was alone in the trailer, not sure what would happen next. Where would my next meal come from What if I got scared all alone at night? Would anyone ever find me here? Fortunately, I WAS found – and better yet, brought to Dogwood. Now I have friends who will never abandon me! They really love me, and are helping me look for a wonderful family of my very own. I like cuddling, but I also like to play! If you think you’d like a devoted, affectionate friend like me, please submit an adoption application online here. If you’re stuck at home, now might be a great time for us to get to know each other
Little Bit
It’s me Little Bit. I am a 1 year old, Short haired Grey Tabby. I was found wandering window shopping and a nice lady brought me to the shelter. She thought I needed a better place than the streets to wander. I have made lots of friends here but I have more than a little bit of love to share so if you are looking for a sweet cat, that’s me!!! I love to sunbathe, so a nice window with lots of sun would be ideal for me. Please fill out an application and put “Little Bit” at the top. I will be waiting to hear from you.
Gomer
Hey soccer fans!!! I’m Gomer, a three year old pit mix full of energy and intelligence! I love playing with the big ball in the play yard! I’m faster than ANYTHING!

So, if you ‘re looking for a fun guy who also loves to snuggle, please fill out an application and put “Gomer” at the top. I’ll be here – waiting for you!
Butterball
I lived in a pen for a really long time before I was brought to Dogwood! I was very lonesome in that pen, so I mastered the art of scaling a chain link fence! I didn’t go very far, though, because I just run to someone walking by and join them. I love everyone! I’m hoping to find a family who will love and snuggle me – maybe a family with either a leash or a WOODEN fence! And a soft couch……!

Patch
Hi! I’m Patch! I’m nine years old but still full of life! I had to have my eye removed years back because of an eye infection, but did that get me down? NOPE!

Oh, and I love to give hugs and kisses too! I even listen when I’m told to do something! Please tell them, okay?

Ellie
Hi! Ellie here! I was lost and scared, so I hid under a house! A nice person came, coaxed me out and brought me to Dogwood! I am shown lots of love and understanding here and am really coming out of my shell! I love to go for walks with the volunteers and hang out with them in the play yard (because I get treats)! I get along with my fellow doggies and enjoy being with them. If you have patience and lots of love to give, I may just be the girl for you! I’m hoping!
Venus
I’m Venus! I’m named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty! That’s good because I’m quite beautiful, you know, and filled with love all the way up to the sky! That’s a LOT of love!

If you’d like to be loved all the way up to the sky, you might want to fill out an adoption application with my name at the top! Please.
Scotty
Hi! Scotty here! I’ve only been at Dogwood for a little while, but I’ve made lots of friends already! Know why? ‘cause I’m friendly with other dogs and kids! Can’t forget the kids! I’m only about a year old, and I’m a kid myself! So, you will have the opportunity to teach me to become the dog you’ve been looking for! I promise, I’ll be a good friend! Hope to see you soon!
Shadow
Name’s Shadow! That’s ‘cause I’m SO FAST, when I run by, all you see is a shadow! Just kidding but I do love to run and play! I also love rides in the car, kids and other furry friends!

Just remember: fast, loving and unbearably CUTE!
Amber
Hi Everybody! My name is Amber. I suppose I’m kind of like the other dogs here at Dogwood; I ran into trouble and needed a place to stay for a while. But, that’s where the similarity ends! I feel that I’m one of the responsible parties here, and I’ve put myself in charge of the medical wing. I decide who comes and goes in this department. Volunteers coming to do laundry are always allowed, of course, and I’ve become good friends with the regulars! I am hoping for a home of my own to run someday, so please keep me in mind! Until then, I’ll continue seeing to the tasks at hand here.
Jafar
I coulda been SQUISHED! Until a nice person picked me up, I was scared out of my wits running down a busy highway in Lebanon! I was brought to Dogwood where the only squishing I get is from loves and hugs – not cars! Volunteers and staff just love me and so do all the other dogs. I have many friends here but I sure would like a forever home of my own. I bet, if you come and see me, you’d love me too!
Eclair
Know why I got my name? ‘cause I’m sweeter than an éclair – that’s why! Just look at this face, how could you not fall in love? I’m wishing for a forever home soon, so I’ll have a family to care for. I have so much love to give – all the way to Mars- – -and back! I‘ll keep you busy playing and cuddling! Just think…..you’re only an application away from unconditional love, fun and the best friend you could ever hope to find! Remember, it’s “Éclair!”

Klover
Hey puppy lovers! I’m Klover, a three month old boxer/lab mix. I’m in charge of keeping Dogwood hopping! I’m little, but mighty! I love to play and can hold my own with the big dogs! When I was found and brought to Dogwood, I was in bad shape. I was SO hungry and needed lots of TLC! I’m sure glad I was brought here! My foster mom took me home and took great care of me.

Just fill out an application and put “Klover” at the top! Okay?
Bachew
I’m looking for a friend, maybe somebody who likes to go for walks. I’m a good boy on a leash! Looking for a forever home too – one where I’d never have to leave. I get along with other dogs so, if you already have a dog, that would mean I would have TWO friends! Tell you what! I’ll just wait right here at Dogwood in case you’re looking for a friend too! Just ask for Bachew! Right here. That’s where I’ll be.
Harpo
Hi! I’m Harpo! I got lost and was brought to Dogwood to await a forever home! Know what I like to do? Check out the windows and find sunspots! There’s nothing like relaxing in a warm sunspot!

Right on my pink little nose!
I’m waiting at Dogwood for a happy new home,
For which I’ll be grateful, whiskers to toes!
Blackie
Adopted!
Ya gonna kiss me? I sure do love kisses! Belly rubs and ear scratches are pretty great too! I was brought to Dogwood with my babies and took great care of them!

Come see me please! Just ask for Pippa!
Spike
Adopted!
Everybody knows me at Dogwood, so they can tell you all about me! I’m Spike! They like me ‘cause I’m a good boy with a heart of gold!

Someone scared me before I came to Dogwood but, if you have a gentle voice, a comfy bed and a treat or two, that’s all I’d need! I have lots of love in my heart to share with you! Maybe you could come and see me! You think?!
Grace
Adopted!
Amazing Grace…How Sweet I AM!!
Some very nice people found me in the state park on July 23, 2018 and brought me to Dogwood Animal Shelter where they knew I would be taken care of. At 19 months old, I’m a great age for an active family who would like to take me on walks. I’m a German/Australian Shepard Mix — I think that’s why I’m so smart! I may be a little shy at first, but warm up quickly! I love belly rubs, attention and going on walks. And I’m here at the shelter waiting to meet you! Just ask for GRACE!
Buddy
Adopted!
I’m glad they told me heaven’s a nice place ‘cause that’s where my owner went. The Dogwood people are taking care of me until I find a new forever home. I’m used to being a good Buddy! I already have lots of friends here, but I want my very own person to love. Could it be YOU? Doesn’t matter what size your lap is – I’ll make myself fit!
I hope to meet you soon!
Love,
Buddy
Dolly
Adopted!
Miracles do happen! I was found in the woods in Tuscumbia, Mo in December 2017. I’m a little terrier mix with short hair, so I was literally frozen when I came to the shelter – and very hungry too!
Dogwood’s staff and volunteers took excellent care of me during my lengthy recovery. Then the most wonderful person fostered me! And now I’m back – happy, healthy and waiting patiently for my fur-ever home!
My name is Dolly and I get along great with all the other dogs here. I’m always excited to meet new visitors and will do a spin or two for you! I’m a very sweet girl!
Sierra
Adopted!
I’m a little charmer and not afraid to show you!
Not only am I a very smart girl but I’m also mature for my age! I like to keep my kennel clean and already know how to sit at 8 months old!
My favorite thing to do is to go outside and play with the other dogs – I just love that part of the day! What I want more than anything is to have a loving family to call my own. An active family who will play fetch with me and take me on walks would be great but I think I’m perfect for most any family! Stop by and visit me and my MANY puppy and dog friends; ask for SIERRA! That’s me!
Laurel & Hardy
Hardy: Adopted!
Laurel and I are homeless, “Another fine mess we got ourselves into”. We’re pretty much like almost all our friends here…strays, good dogs, love car rides, and know some commands like “sit”. The only thing that sets us apart from this enormous pack is that we’re playful 9 month old pups, the perfect age to begin training. And we LOVE to have fun and make people laugh!
Love,
Laurel and Hardy
Presley
Adopted!
Do you know what you were doing 1 year, 3 months, and 29 days ago? I do! It was the day I came to Dogwood!. And, in those 484 days I have learned some mighty important things:
Life isn’t fair. Move on. – My people kind of deserted me, but I have to believe I will be loved again.
Please others, but most importantly, be pleased with yourself. – I’m proud of mastering the housetraining thing. I mean, I’m mostly beagle…smart…and ready for everything anyone can teach me.
Don’t be just another pretty face in the pack. Be real and others will like you. – Worked for me! I’m not the gorgeous, glitzy, girly type, but other dogs and kids think I’m awesome.
Patient and hopeful,
Presley, the Incredible Beagle Mix
Dierdre
Adopted!
My siblings and I were found in a brush pile, clinging to each other and to life. People threatened to shoot us, but a nice neighbor brought us to Dogwood, where we would be cared for and safe. My sibs have been adopted, but no one has picked me, maybe because I’m so shy. I make up for shyness by how smart I am; I graduated with honors from the Pups for Parole Program! Come meet me and fall in love. Ask for Deirdre, the 1 year, 8 month old lovable, belly rubbing Australian cattle dog and blue healer mix gal. I’m waiting patiently for you!!!
Jaye
Adopted!
All I can say is, you better hurry up and fill out an adoption application on me right quick, before someone else snatches me up. At 10 weeks old I’m a mighty cute girl, but I’m gonna be pure gorgeous when I grow up. How could I be anything but gorgeous when I’m a Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepherd mix? You know what…it gets even better…I’m mellow, sweet, playful, smart, and everything you could want in a best friend. And, I’m not kiddin’. Lookin’ for puppy love? I’m sooo it!!!
Flurry
Adopted!
THANK YOU EVERYONE for your donations and well wishes!
We are pleased to announce that since coming to the shelter 6/28/18 after much LOVE AND CARE, I am ready for my forever home.
The surgeon did an excellent job repairing my broken leg and I am happy to say, it was a success! I have mended from being shot by a BB gun and my bite wounds on my neck and leg are all but a bad memory.
I am looking for a great home with no cats and LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION. I admit, I’m easily distracted by small animals such as squirrels and can easily get away from a human, so a fenced yard is a must.
I am a three year old Husky waiting to meet you.
Gabby
Adopted!
If you’re looking for an activities partner to jog, play fetch, catch frisbees or just hang out with, I just might be the gal for you.
Hi, my name is Gabby and I’m a beautiful black and white, lab mix. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be mixed with, but I think I’m two-parts energy and one-part affection! And, I’m 100% adoptable!
I think I’m adorable but, if you prefer blonds, brunettes or redheads, the shelter has a few of those, too!
Brownie
Adopted!
My face may be white but my heart is pure gold!
For being a small, ten year old Jack Russell, the good folks at Dogwood Animal Shelter say I pack a lot of love!
I was surrendered to Dogwood Animal Shelter this month because my owners had to move and were unable to take me with them.
I get along great with other dogs and cats but I think I would enjoy being the only fur-baby in the house, just because I deserve to have all your attention!
I’m pretty laid back and easy-going and would enjoy just hanging out with a special person of my own.
I’d love to meet you, so come on in to the shelter and ask for BROWNIE!
Cali
Adopted!
And the A-CAT-EMY Award goes to . . . .
Miss Cali!!

Cali is a five month old female kitten who’s as sweet as Pumpkin Pie!
If you would like to meet Cali or any of her furry friends, please stop in at the shelter – she’ll be waiting for your visit!
Maycee
Adopted!
Once upon a time, I had a great dad and we were really enjoying life together. My world crashed when he was deployed overseas. I came back to Dogwood where the living is easy and the people are nice. I’m starting to get a little grey now, but I’ll never stop dreaming and hoping. I’m very loyal and obedient. I love kids, car rides, soft beds and tummy rubs. I hope to meet you soon!
Love, Maycee
Rayne

Classy. Elegant. Versatile. And always in fashion — that’s me, RAYNE!
I may only be 4 months old but I already have a “black belt” in cuddling. Go ahead—look deep into my eyezzz and tell me you’ll love me furr-ever!

With APPROVED Application, ALL cat and Kittens are now $10.
Simon
Adopted!
Purr-plexing! That’s what it is! Why would someone dump me at the shelter when I have so much to offer?! As a matter of fact, after getting some tasty groceries in my tummy, a warm place to sleep, and lots of love, I’m fe-line pretty good about myself these days. Besides being soft and cuddly with gorgeous, gazing eyes, I also double as a neck warmer! What more could you ask for? Come on in and meet me so I can go home for the holidays! Just ask for “Simon”.
Ethan & Grayson
Adopted!
We were left all alone in a box with our brothers and sisters! We kept hearing scary noises but were too little to climb out of the box! Everything turned out okay though ‘cause Dogwood took us in! We’re in Dogwood’s kitten room now with lots of other kitten friends! We have a nice place to sleep, good food and lots of love! Now, all we really need are forever homes and our very own families! Come see us okay? Just ask for Ethan and Grayson!
Alyx
Adopted!
I’ve just been skittering, so now I’ve got to rest ‘cause skittering tires you out! We kittens are pretty busy here at Dogwood, but I can teach you to skitter if you’d like. Actually, it’s kind of like frolicking, but faster! You just take a flying leap, then run fast as the wind dodging all over the room. Next, when you’re tuckered out, you look for someone with a soft, warm lap to snuggle up in. ‘course, it’s really fun if you have more than one kitten skittering about. We have lots of kittens at Dogwood. Why not stop by and ask for Alyx – because that’s ME!
Angel
Adopted!
There is an Angel among us. That’s me! I’m waiting to find a loving family with hearts ready to be touched by an Angel! I’m an energetic pup hoping for a home with room to run!. I love car rides and hope my new family will take me to the park where I can run and play with other furry friends. At six and one-half months, I already know basic commands but I’m hoping my best “trick” ever will be melting your heart!! So, grab the family and come meet me and my other fur-buddies. You’re guaranteed to leave with lots of doggy smooches…and maybe me, too!
Micah
Adopted!
Yep! I know about Thanksgiving! I’m going to be most thankful for my nice warm bed, good food, pets on my head and ALL the friends I’ve made since coming to Dogwood! I was pretty scared out on my own before coming here! Now I feel safe and happy! ‘course I’m wishin’ for a forever home of my own. You see, I’ve got lots of love to share and I’d love to share it with you! Maybe you could come and visit me when you get a chance! Just ask for Micah! That’s me!
Jake
Adopted!
“I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky!” Well, if you had big, beautiful ears just like mine, you would believe it too! Bet I could flap ‘em and go anywhere I want to go! Know where I’d go? Why, to my forever home, of course! And, in addition to my great silky ears, I’m housebroken, love kids and will be happy to show you how well I can obey commands! Maybe you could come to see me. I promise not to fly away!
Winter
Adopted!
Just ponderin’ how lucky I am surrounded today by blue sky, sunshine, playmates and folks who care for me! Dogwood’s the finest, very best place I know to relax and dream of getting a forever family of my own! Sometimes I dream there’ll be kids to play with, or maybe even another dog or kitty. Know what? Sometimes I dream of a family with all three…..and me! So, if you’re looking for a happy furry family member, maybe you could visit me! Just ask for Winter. I’ll be here ponderin’…or playin’!
Jax
Adopted!
Name’s Jax and I’m all about cuddling and playing! I was thinking you might be looking for a cute, cuddly, playful best friend and just wanted you to know I’m here for you!

I have lots of energy, very affectionate, love kids and kittens, love playing frisbee and especially car rides. Please stop by and let me show you what great friends we can be! I need to be the master of the house again! Hopefully see you soon!!!
Pogo
Adopted!
Hi! I’m Pogo! And boy could I give you an earful of how starvin’ I was when I first came here! My sisters and I were dumped on a farm when we were just little babies, skin ‘n’ bones and hungry for affection. You remember Delta and Birdie? They’re my sisters. They’ve found their furever families, but I’m still lookin’ for mine. I jus’ know there’s someone who will see my sweet face and impressive ears and know that I am the right boy for them. I’m 6 months old and jus’ waitin’ on a family all my own to love. Stop in and meet me sometime!
Hiccup
Adopted!
“Hiccup’s” my name and playing’s my game! My owners did the right thing by bringing me to Dogwood when they realized they could no longer care for me. Here, I have lots of furry friends to play with but, what I want more than anything, is to have a home of my own. I’m an eight month old pointer/rat terrier mix, full of fun and lots of energy! I hope my new home has lots of toys and someone to play fetch with, cuz I love to play! Did I mention, I’m also potty trained? I’m very affectionate and will do the couch and popcorn thing! Please come visit me and my friends at the shelter!

I am good with all my furry friends but, really would love to have a real family that I can dance with. I love car rides so let’s open the windows, turn up the tunes and let our hair fly in the wind. So, come see me and let’s dance our way OUT OF THE BUILDING!

Zeke
Adopted!
Like to sleep late, chew on a good beef jerky, take long strolls in the sun? So do I!
Hi, I’m Zeke. I need to be adopted because my owner moved to a place where I couldn’t go. There are lots of dogs at the shelter, but here’s why you should pick me:
- I got training at Puppies for Parole so I know sit, stay and lay down.
- I’m super friendly and eager to please.
- Obviously, I’m a looker!
If you’ve got a comfy bed and a warm heart, come see me at Dogwood and let’s talk about our future.
Cherokee

Cherokee’s my name, and freedom’s my game! Give me a front porch to lie on and I’m in heaven. I’d love a farm where I could run and play (supervised of course, ‘ cause I’m still young and need guidance). I love being outside! I guess you could say I’m like a free spirit. I also love cats; we can be best buds! I’ve completed Puppies for Parole with flying colors and have lots of energy to share with my new family! Come meet me and let’s get to know each other! I’ll be waiting!

I also received the “Canine Good Citizen” certificate, which is one level below being a service dog. How cool is that?! I have lots of patience and I am patiently waiting for you to come visit me so I can show off what a true “CAPTAIN” has to offer. I will be waiting!!!!!

Adopted!
Hey folks, I’m Patches!

SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE!
I love chasing the flutterbys and playing in the sweet grass with my sisters! Don’t know what a couch is, but from what I hear I’ll love snuggling on one with my nice, warm human someday too! I’m Pansy. My sisters and I were born here at Dogwood. We’re real anxious to find out what a loving fur-ever home is like! Do you have one for us?
Krissie
Adopted!
“Can I come home with you?” I confess, I am an absolute lovebug and an aspiring couch potato! And if my big, beautiful puppy dog eyes don’t get to ya, maybe my sweet, “chill” personality will! I’m a delightful mixture of boxer and pointer and will absolutely melt your heart! My sisters and I were brought to the animal shelter by our humans as part of an unwanted litter when we were just babies. I’m almost 5 months old now and looking for a fur-ever companion to call my own. I know how to snuggle, give kisses, and love to play with toys. I promise to try to be a good girl for you. Won’t you please take me home?

Howdy!
I’m Cruiser and I’m pretty proud of myself! Dogwood sent me to Puppies for Parole and I passed ALL my lessons with flying colors!

I’m back at Dogwood now so come on over and let’s get acquainted!

I heard a story about a baby being born in a stable far away. If I was there, I’d lay my head on Him and keep Him warm. I don’t have anything to give Him except lots of love! I love everybody, even cats! He would like that. Maybe you would too. My name is Kylo just in case.
Huck
Adopted!
Hey there! I’m Huck. I’m not easily riled, not a jumper, not a barker. I’m a laid back, friendly guy – and also a Pointer. I’ve been trying to show my buddies on the patio how to listen for birds and then, of course, point. Most of ‘em just aren’t interested enough to stop their barking and playing. Oh, well.
My dream is that someday soon I’ll be adopted by someone who’ll love to spend time outside with me, share a comfy sofa with me, scratch me under the chin (my favorite spot!) and forever be my best friend. I guarantee I’ll be theirs too.
Kelly
Adopted!
My brothers, sisters and I were kinda unexpected! We were brought to Dogwood with our Mama! Mama was “fixed” so there would be no more surprises!

Don’t know how I got that cute and smart – just did! I’m thinking you might need me to be your best friend. I need a forever home and you just can’t have too many friends! I’ll wait right here for you. Okay?
Crow
Adopted!
Hi! My name is Crow! I’m a true Dogwood Dog born, and raised. The staff members have been a part of my family ever since I can remember. I was adopted as a puppy, along with my brothers and sisters, and I spent quite a few months in a home environment. But times got busy for my adopted family and they didn’t have the time to give me the attention I deserve. So, here I am again looking for that forever home everyone here keeps talking about. My momma did a good job at raising us pups, though. I turned out just as mellow and mild tempered as she is. I’m a big softy, a really gentle and all around cuddly guy! And, just who doesn’t need that in their life?
Jethro
Adopted!
‘member me from a few weeks ago? I had to get stitched up when I first came to Dogwood, but I’m all better now! I don’t have to wear my halo anymore!
Betcha didn’t know I also have the MOST beautiful ears in the world! Huh?!
Well, I’m all ready for my forever home now and I can’t wait! I wonder if you could teach me tricks or take me for a walk or let me sit next to you on your couch. Maybe a belly rub? Oh yes, a belly rub, that’s it!
Bonzi
Adopted!
I’m Bonzi! I was an animal control find! They took one look at me and said I was just way too handsome to be homeless! So how about you and I fix that! I’m a pretty calm, low-key kinda guy. I love attention and I’m not afraid to tell you about it! I get along with everyone, but I’m all about that one-on-one time. A good walk is the best way to my heart, just as long as we stop for frequent belly rubs. I’m 3 ½ years old so I still have a lot of lovin’ and cuddlin’ to catch up on with that one special family.
Hailey
Adopted!
I’m Hailey, and I’m just a pup! My four sisters, brothers and I were brought to Dogwood with our Mom. We were a surprise but Mom had an operation so there would be no more surprises! She went home, and we’re staying at Dogwood until we find forever homes! I love everything and everybody, furry or not! So, if you’ re looking for a little lovebug, maybe you could come see me – I’m the lovey-est bug around!

Wesley
Adopted!
I was hoping Dollar General had a forever family for me – but no luck! I was so scared when I got there ‘cause I was really lost! Good thing a caring person took me to the vet, then to Dogwood Animal Shelter. It’s been a long, strange trip, but I’ve finally landed in a place where I’m safe and loved! I’m a really good boy and a perfect gentleman! Name’s Wesley! Hope you’ll come meet me soon – at Dogwood please!
Mexi
Adopted!
Friends! That’s what I’ve got! I’m Mexi! Before I got to Dogwood, I was hit by a car. Friends of Dogwood sent in donations so I could have badly needed surgery on my leg and hip! My surgery was a success but I needed some therapy afterwards. That’s when my friend, Dr. Karin Burmeister, Chiropractor from ABC Wellness Center stepped in and volunteered to help me! I’m doing really well and am hoping to be good as new in no time! Then, maybe I can get my own forever home and family! I’m wishin’ hard for that! Thanks Dogwood and all my friends for taking such good care of me! I love you all!
Lucas
Adopted!
Hi! Name’s Lucas! My family moved and couldn’t take me with them. It’s good that they brought me to Dogwood so I could find a forever home! I like it here – the folks are nice, and I get belly rubs and ear scratches! I’m very loving so – I kiss ‘em back! I really like the play yard too ‘cause I also LOVE to play! So, pretty much, I’m looking for a home where there are belly rubs, ear scratches, kisses and games to play! Maybe you have a home like that?

Kelly
Adopted!
Hi! I’m Kelly! I come from a really big family of six brothers and sisters! We got separated from our mom and didn’t know where she was. A nice man found us and brought us to Dogwood! We’re ready for adoption now! While we wait, we get to spend our days in a nice, big room with lots of stuff to climb on and places to hide! I’m having lots of fun while I wait for my forever home…..with you?!!
Dandy
Adopted!
I’m a good girl! I’m only seven months old and filled with love from the ends of my toes to the tips of my beautiful ears! I love lots of stuff like playing with other dogs, cats, toys. Why, I even walk nicely on a leash without pulling! Know what? Dogwood saved me! Before I came here, I was in a place that was going to “put me down.” I don’t know where “down” was but I don’t think it was good. Dogwood doesn’t have a “down” so now, I get to do fun stuff while I wait for my forever home! Think you could come for a visit? Just ask for Dandy!
Tex
Adopted!
I’m Tex! When Camden County Animal Control picked me up almost a year ago and brought me to Dogwood, I was very sick with heartworms! I have just gotten the all clear from the vet, so I am READY TO GO! I love to play with balls and go for walks! I will smile when you give me a pat! I even know a few commands already ‘cause I’m an Aussie mix and very smart! If I do say so myself, I’m quite handsome with really soft fur! Wanna come meet me? …..I’m hoping!
Puddy
Adopted!
I was found wandering with my friend! We were very scared with all those cars whizzing by us, but some kind people brought us to Dogwood so we wouldn’t get run over! Now, I have food and a soft bed while I’m waiting for my forever home! I’m good with children, cats and other dogs, so a home with kids and other fur buddies would be great! Maybe you could come meet me. Just call 573-348-4411 and ask about Puddy ‘cause that’s ME!
Rudy
Adopted!
Hi! OH BOY, HI! I’m so glad to see you! I was brought to Dogwood ‘cause I was lost and scared in the middle of the night! Now, I’m hoping for a forever family who won’t lose me – maybe one with kids who like to play fetch!!! I’d be very happy to meet you! Please come to visit and ask for Rudy!
Milo
Adopted!
I’m pretty smart for a two year old! Know why? ‘cause I went to “Puppies for Parole!” That’s why! I learned a LOT from my trainers! They’re very proud of me I’m a good student. Bet you could teach me some really good stuff too! Maybe you could come visit me at Dogwood. I’d love to show you what I’ve learned and we could play together for a bit! Just ask for Milo – that’s me!
Pax
Adopted!
I’m Pax and, as you can see, quite handsome! My family moved and couldn’t take me with them! I sure would love to have a home where I could stay with my family forever! I’m only one and one half years old, so I still have a lot of playful puppy in me! The good part is that I have a lot of love in me too! Maybe you could come and visit me! We could play together with my toys! Yep! Sounds like a good plan!
Shadow
Adopted!
Shadow, that’s me! I’m four years old and full of energy! I also mind very well ‘cause that’s what good boys do! I’m good with children, cats and other dogs, love affection, riding in a car, and learning new things! I’m wishing to become a part of a loving family, snuggle on the couch and play with the kids! So, if you ‘re looking for a great friend and devoted partner, please fill out an adoption application and add my name to the top! Okay?
Laurel
Adopted!
HH in Lake Ozark is a very busy road! It was pretty scary to be alone with all those cars whizzing by! So glad I was brought to Dogwood! I’m Laurel and I’ve been told I’m sweet and beautiful inside and out! Never met a person I didn’t love! I like other dogs too and have a LOT of love to share! Please come visit me and I’ll show you!
Petey
Adopted!
Hiya! Know why I’m smiling? Why, ‘cuz I’m happy! I LOVE to play and run! I have LOTS of energy! Know what else? I only have three legs but that doesn’t stop me! No siree – not one bit! The way I look at it, I’ve got one more leg than most people so I’m ahead of the game! I’m house trained and ready to find a forever home! Maybe that could be with you! If you come to visit, just ask for Petey! That’s ME!
Whispurr
Adopted!
With death only a whisper away, I was rescued. I was found under a porch, not even 3 weeks old, where my mama had left me. Jan bottle fed me and gave me a new mama to teach me all the kitty things I needed to know. And, ohhh, how they both loved on me! Now, fat and sassy, I get a wish, the same wish we all have at Dogwood…someone of our own to love. Whispurr…it’s my name…and how far away you and I are from our happily ever after.
Rex
Adopted!
My family didn’t have time for me, so they brought me to Dogwood. I’m going through obedience training here and learning lots of new things! I ‘m pretty smart so I catch on very fast! Playing with my friends, sharing love, giving hugs and playing fetch is what I’m all about! Maybe you could come visit me. Just ask for Rex. Oh, and bring the kids!
Jefferson
Adopted!
I was wandering and wandering! It looked like a nice place – a sign said “Resorts!” I was hoping to find my home but it wasn’t there. A nice person brought me to Dogwood where everyone fell in love with my sweet face and disposition! Now, I’m wishing for a forever home (it doesn’t have to be at a resort, but I’m hoping it will be where there’s lots of love!) I know! Why don’t you come and see me. We can talk about it!
Gina
Adopted!
Hi! I’m Gina. I came to Dogwood with my five littermates. There’s a strong family resemblance among us, but I’m pretty sure I’m the cutest!
Don’t get me wrong, I love my bro and sissies, but I want my own human family – someone to love only me. If you want a fun-loving, faithful, snuggle buddy, please come meet me soon. I think my adorable face will melt your heart.

Everest
Adopted!
The folks at Dogwood have great senses of humor! I bet they named me Everest ‘cause I’m part Great Pyrenees and will be a BIG boy! Well, maybe not as big as Mt. Everest, but close! I’m only four months old and looking for a forever home with a family and kids who’d like to play and give me belly rubs! I love other dogs too! Could you come get me? Soon?
Candy
Adopted!
My name is Candy! Know why? It’s ‘cause I’m so sweet! I’m a five month old Beagle/Boston Terrier mix, so I probably won’t be very big, but I’ve got a BIG heart full of LOVE! I love to give kisses and play with my sister, Ruby. Learning new tricks, going for walks and playing are my favorite things to do! So, if you’re ready for a sweet friend, please come to visit me and Ruby at Dogwood! Soon, okay?
Iris
Adopted!
Is it MY turn yet? My sister found a forever home! I’m so excited, I can’t wait for mine! I really need someone of my very own to grab the other end of this toy and pull like crazy! Maybe that’s you! When we’re tired, we can snuggle ‘cause that’s what I do best! Please hurry to Dogwood and ask for Iris!
