Gelato has a new name and a new home. Let’s celebrate Indiana Bones! After losing their beloved dog Marley, his new family was looking for the right companion to bring joy back into their home and comfort their pup, Tippy, who had been missing her best friend.
Indiana Bones has stepped right into that role with his playful puppy spirit and loving nature. Having loved Marley, who was deaf and vision-impaired, his family has the patience and dedication to give Indiana Bones the best life. His future is full of love and adventure, and we’re so excited for this sweet boy!

Fundraiser for Speak Rescue and Sanctuary

Our newest senior Speakling, Stevie, had a big day at Northgate—complete with a spaw treatment, full exam, and vaccines. When he arrived, he was limping badly, and it didn’t take long to discover why: beneath those adorable Grinch feet were painfully overgrown nails, so long that two had actually crossed over each other. His poor t***y was also packed with f***s, and a large mat behind his ear had to be shaved, leaving him with a charming little comb-over.

But oh, what a difference a day makes. After his makeover, Stevie was all smiles—dancing, prancing, and walking without a limp. He’s a gentle soul with a sweet spirit, and despite his age, he’s still got plenty of s***k left in him. We love seeing that sparkle return. Welcome, Stevie. You’re very loved by all of us already.

The bear puppies who had been left in a basket outside animal control at just 4 weeks old loaded with parasites and intestinal infections visited our care team again last week. Thanks to love, vet care, and a whole lot of puppy grit, they’ve grown into healthy, happy 9-week-old bundles of joy. Since they received a glowing report, the search now begins for their forever homes. Well, for three of them in St. Louis anyway—one lucky pup already has a forever home waiting.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our “Be Like Bennie” matching donation campaign. We reached our goal of $2,500 – matched by Bennie’s generous benefactor who has been supporting him from the start. If you want your own Bennie sticker, it’s not too late. You can donate ($10 or more, please) through our portal https://speakrescue.charityproud.org/Donate/MiniCampaign/40157?, via Venmo (), or here on Facebook. Please be sure to include your address so we can send your sticker. All funds will continue to help pups in need – just like Bennie.

We've also decided that without Bennie, who was so excited to help with the raffle drawing each month, we just can’t bear to continue the raffle this month. We will roll over our wonderful prizes and add even more for October. Thanks for your patience and support as we continue to grieve for our perfect little puppy.

There are just a few days left in our "Be Like Bennie" donation matching campaign. Bennie's benefactor, who supported him through all his medical tests and procedures, offered to match $2,500 to help other dogs in Bennie's name. Everyone who donates $10 or more through Sunday night will receive a Bennie sticker so we can keep this sweet puppy's spirit alive. Bennie was always happy and loved everyone and everything and his tail was constantly wagging. He really inspired so many people. You can donated through our portal https://speakrescue.charityproud.org/Donate/MiniCampaign/40157? or via Venmo () or here on Facebook. Please be sure to include your address so we can send a sticker. Be like Bennie.

Some foster pets turn into forever family, and that’s exactly what happened with Julep! Affectionately nicknamed “Jules,” she has settled into her new home beautifully, filling it with love and joy. After losing their beloved Speakling, Aoki, her family wasn’t sure their hearts would heal. But Jules’ sweet demeanor and s***ky attitude have been just what they needed. Belle, their border collie mix, is also thrilled to have a playful little sister to follow around. Here’s to Jules and her happily ever after!

Our newest—and oldest—arrival, Stevie, is settling in beautifully. He’s an absolute sweetheart, and while we secretly adore his Grinchy feet, this gentle guy is overdue for a serious spa day. Tomorrow, Stevie will visit our amazing care team at Northgate Small Animal Hospital for a full medical workup and some much-needed hygiene care. We can’t wait to share his after photos and an update once he’s feeling fresh and fabulous. Again, we are really glad he’s here and that we were able to help him.
