Hi all of you wonderful customers. I just want to say that you all are amazing! It has been hard going through this hand situation. I have my good days and my bad days. Right now it is just a lot of physical therapy that is painful but in a good way. Just really trying to get this hand working.
My sister is doing an amazing job holding down the shop! I can't thank her enough for everything she is doing. I come up and keep her company when I can.
All the amazing things you guys have said has really helped me work harder. Thank you again and I can't wait til I am up working side by side again with my sister 🥰 love all of you 💗

5yo/ 14lbs

Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY, it will answer most of your questions. If you are a perfect match, please send an email to [email protected] for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered/contacted.

We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive for a meet and greet. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications can be found on our website.

Hershey was a pretty shy boy when he first arrived. He was scared & not sure what the future was going to be. Well, he arrived at his foster home & was greeted by some furry friends who assured him it was going to be fabulous from here on out. He spent the first few weeks just watching. Watching the humans, watching the other dogs, & watching the household activities.

Hershey has come a long way and now follows his foster mom everywhere. He will jump up on the recliner so his foster mom will hold him. He lays in the kitchen next to her feet. He loves his foster mom. He is still unsure of his foster dad but is getting better. In his new home, everyone will need to understand Hershey will need time to adjust so you will need patience.

Hershey is still not accepting of the harness and leash so he will need a secure physically fenced yard. In time, his family can work on leash training, but it isn’t going to happen any time soon.

He is a very good boy that doesn’t need to be crated & is always on his best behavior when his foster family is gone. He is not completely potty trained but taken out often, he doesn't have accidents.

Hershey needs a low-key family that will allow him to bloom. He really needs another dog of similar size in the home already. He will lay and snuggle with his foster siblings around the home during the day and he cuddles with his 4 legged siblings on a comfy bed in his human fosters bedroom.

Please apply if you have a nice slow-paced home for Hershey to join.

FOSTER FAMILIES NEEDED!
O'Fallon, IL area

We have a few coming in & we will need approved foster homes for them.
They will be coming around May 30-31 (after Memorial Day).

F• Shih Poo •6mo black & tan (in photo)
M• Toy Poodle •6mo cream (in photo)
M• Maltese •10weeks (no photo)

M & F• Cockaliers •6mo (siblings in photo)
there are several of these pups, we will only be able to take as many as what we have approved foster homes for.

Fostering is a great way to help a dog who needs temporary housing while looking for a family. It is also a great way to see if a dog does well with your family.

You will need to be available to pick-up your foster pup when they arrive in town, as we have no place to hold them since we are 100% foster based.

You will need to be able to coordinate with our intake volunteer for vetting & surgery appointments with our vet in O'Fallon, Illinois.

If you have a fenced yard, it must be secure with no gaps. An xpen will work for the smaller puppies, but not the Cockaliers.

Applications can be found on our website at

Hello! Hope everyone is well. Just wanted to update on Nora.
She is out of surgery and her husband said the surgery went great and they got her hand all cleaned out. She will stay overnight for antibiotics, and hopefully be going home tomorrow!
I know I'm ready for her to be back at work, but until then, Thank you for being so understanding. Hopefully I can get through most of all her customers while she's out. ❤️ ❤️
