Adoption Information
Thank you for your interest in adopting!
Before completing our online application please read the following:
Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. This process can take longer when puppies are involved since no puppy adoptions are finalized until they are spayed/neutered. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation.
1.We do not normally adopt to adults under 25 years of age, however, exceptions will be made based on the organization’s assessment of the individual maturity of the adopter.
2.All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule private “Meet and Greets” without a processed application. Our Adoption Fee starts at $250.
3.We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption.
4.We cannot place a hold on a dog for you. If you are not ready to adopt, please do not complete an application until you are ready to do so.
5.If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing (dogs), and on monthly heartworm preventative (dogs). We will verify this with your veterinarian.
6.If you do not own the property you live in, you must provide the owner/landlord’s name and phone number. We will contact them to verify that you are permitted to have the pet you are applying for.
7.If you are getting ready to move or are in the process of moving, please do not complete an application until after you are settled in your new home. Please be advised that we reserve the right to conduct a Home Visit if we feel it is necessary before placing an animal with you.
8.Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including phone numbers will delay your application (this especially true when we post puppies, incomplete applications are not processed until last).
9.Once your online application is completed, it can take our volunteers 5 days to process it (longer if we have a litter of puppies posted). If we have questions about your application, we will call or email you. You must respond in order to get your application fully processed.
10.Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
11.Once your application is approved by the processers it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant.
12.Once you have met the dog and the adoption is approved, we have a minimum 24-hour waiting period before the adoption is finalized.
13.Once your new pet is home with you, we recommend taking then to a veterinarian of your choice within 10-14 days of adoption for a general check-up, especially for dogs or puppies that have been recently spayed or neutered.

Tryston
Dog, Adult, Male, Medium
Australian-Shepherd
Special NeedsSpayed/NeuteredHas ShotsNo CatsNo Kids
DogAdultMaleMediumAustralian-Shepherd
Hey everyone! Tryston here, or as mom likes to call me Sir Grumps-A-Lot! I am a stunning five-year-old Australian Shepherd who came to Speak! St. Louis in April 2017. I was in horrible condition! My fur was matted, I smelled awful, had intestinal worms, had trachea damage and was heartworm positive. If that isn't enough, I am also blind. I was not born blind, but instead, I am blind as a result of a systemic infection such as distemper. My blindness was totally preventable had I been given my yearly vaccinations. My previous owner failed me on almost every possible level. As a result of such abuse, I have minimal trust in humans, especially women. I do not bite, but will growl and act very scary, so people will leave me alone. I am being fostered in the South County Area of St. Louis, Missouri. Thegood news about me: Living with my foster family has given me much more confidence. I am always comfortable with my foster dad, but for some reason, ladies make me a bit nervous. Every time my mom would pet me or talk to me I would growl. Nothing serious, just a little "hey leave me alone." Thankfully, my mom didn't leave me aloneand she would continue to baby me and sing to me until one day I realized she wasn't so bad. It took a very long time but now every time I hear her voice I do little tap dances and wiggle my butt. I get so excited to "see" her! She now calls me Fred Astaire because she loves my dancing! That better than Sir Grumps-A-Lot, I think! Dad, on the other hand, can pet me as much as he wants! I would love to stay with my foster family, but mom and dad think I would do better in a quieter home. I actually live with seven other dogs, and let me tell you,they are crazy. Six of them are Border Collies! (What were mom and dad thinking?) Don't they know that Aussies are better than Border Collies. Hrmph! So what would I like in my new home you ask? Well, for starters, I would just like a parent(s) who simply love me for me. Maybe a steak dinner, on occassion, butnothing too extravagant.I would do best as either being an only dog or maybe with one calm, confident dog. I do live with cats, but I get excited and bark at them. Since I get nervous easily, I would also do better without children. Mom thinks I would do best with a very dog-savvy person that could deal with my anxiety and reactivity. I guess this is a lot to ask, but what I givein return is the best buddy in the world who will totally adore you. I am also pretty gorgeous, so I will make great eye candy! What do you say, will you give me a chance? Please fill out an application at http://www.speakstlouis.com/forms/adoption-application/
Bennett

Australian-Shepherd
Special NeedsSpayed/NeuteredHas ShotsNo Kids
DogAdultMaleMediumAustralian-Shepherd
Bennett is a wonderful 8 1/2 year old boy who has had a rough life and knew very little of the world around him; until recently. Last year, he was rescued by Speak and he now knows people are kind, he always gets his meals and things are good. He is being fostered in the Collinsville, Illinois area. Because Bennett is still learning the world around him, he is hesitant with new people but he warms up nicely. He is deaf (but hears some sounds) and possibly vision impaired in his right eye but he doesnt let anything stop him. He is good on a leash once that trust is there. He knows some touch and hand signals for come, and sit and no. He loves getting pets all over especially under his chin and a nice massage on his sides is lovely when he's sleepy. He is not food aggressive but enjoys a good meal. He would ideally do best in a home as the only dogor with another very mellow non dominant dog; as he will make a mean face' on occassion. This is not him being aggressive, just simply saying "I don't see so well, and this is my space". Bennett is a furry shadow and enjoys being with his people! Little kids are not his cup of tea, as he gets pretty frightened of all that movement from tiny people so a home without a lot of commotion is certainly ideal. Bennett would make a lovely companion for an older couple who's kids are out of the house, or for someone in a quieter household. He enjoys long naps during the day, but isn't too fond of being left alone a lot. He does not need a crate being the lounge lizard he is... he is fine with his over-sized memory foam bed that is so comfy. He is potty trained and will do his business on command as soon as he's outside. Bennett is a truly wonderful, amazing, and handsome man who is looking for a place he can relax, unwind and enjoy the little things in life which he so deserves.If you are interested in this loyal, loving guy who simply wants to be your best friend, please apply here:https://www.speakstlouis.com/forms/adoption-application/

Aura
Dog, Young, Female, Medium
Australian-Shepherd
Special NeedsSpayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumAustralian-Shepherd
Hi there! I'm Aura! I am an 1 1/2 year old female Australian shepherd. My foster parents say that I am a little girl with a BIGpersonality. I am being fostered in the Mt. Olive, Illinois area. Speaking of personality, I sometimesdo things a tad differently than my foster siblings. For example, when my foster siblings go outside to play they run around in all different directions. I,on the other hand, have a certain path I like to follow.....but I still playwith my foster siblings. If I get overly excited inside, I may run in circles. My foster mom is a trainer so she helps redirect me so I don'trunin circles. She gets out a special mat when I'm overly excited and Igo lie down on it andreceive treats! The mathelps me relax when there is a lot going on around me. I also take some medicine to help me focus. Foster mom puts 1 pill in with my meals and I gobble it up. (She thinks she'ssneaky!)She wants you to knowthat my medicine doesn't cost much and theyget it froma nearby pharmacy. I should also inform you that I am deaf due to merle-to-merle (color pattern)breeding. I have learned a lotof commands including: sit, lie down, wait before going outside, and wait before eating my food. I am potty trained butmy foster parents think I have anodd way of notifying themwhen I need to do my business. I guess most dogs go to the door and whine....not me, I run around the house barking. There's one more thing that makes me unique. I really not fond of being cuddled. I am, afterall, an independent girl. Iprefer to sniff new people to say hello and then walk away. Once in a while,I like to walk up and get a good butt scratchin',but it doesn't take long before I'm off doing my own thing again. My foster parents love this about mebecauseI don't jumpon theirguests. I tolerate baths and getting brushed but they aren't my favorite thing to do. I know I may seem like a handful, but I want to be open and honest to my future family. I would like my forever home to have a fenced yard and no children under the age of 12 (since they may try to cuddle me). I'm pretty interested in cat so if my forever home has some, they should probably be able to go to a safe place out of my reach. I also wouldn't mind another doggy friend to play with and follow. I am spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on all my shots. I also need monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. My foster parents say that my forever home should bewilling to stick to mytraining program and appreciate me - my quirkiness and all!

Jax is a young, beautiful blue-eyed border collie born on 3/7/2018. Jax is a playful love bug! He currently lives with 3 Austrailian Shepherds and enjoys wrestling with them, following them around outside, and chewing on all the toys. It's safe to say Jax hates missing out on fun! Whenever someone in his foster home is laughing, Jax will come running into the person's lap to give kisses and join in on the excitement. He greatly enjoys receiving pets from anyone he meets and is a HUGE snuggle bug! Jax is also cat friendly and has another enjoyable past-time of lying down and watching the cats walk around him. Jax is potty-trained, does great in a crate, and will sleep through the night. He is very quick to learn! He also knows sit and is currently working on other basic obedience commands. Jax is completely blind in his left eye and may have some slight vision impairment in his right. However, it doesn't stop him at all from playing hard with the other dogs! Jax has no problems using his ears and the vision he does have to navigate the world around him. Lastly, Jax is very submissive and despite being a loud, rambunctious boy himself, he is easily frightened by loud noises. He's even afriad of cars and the lawnmower when he hears them outside. When he does get scared, he will run and hide somewhere in the house. His foster home sits back in a private, wooded area where he does not have to worry about many loud noises. His foster parents have been working with him on overcoming household fears and he has responded beautifully to his training! Jax can now handle a blender and the garbage dispoal and is working on loud noises occuring outside. For this reason, Jax does not enjoy leaving the house at this time. He becomes very anxious if he is pushed into a situation in which he can't hide. Jax would be best placed in a quiet home with a famliy that will continue to help him overcome his fear of loud noises. Jax's ideal home would be one that sits on a quiet piece of property, has another dog for him to play with, and has no children under 10 years of age. We would also suggest a visible fence. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. He will require monthly medications for fleas, ticks and heartworms. What are you waiting for?!

Cricket is past the problematic puppy stage and doesn't chew on anything inappropriate. Prior to coming to Speak! St Louis, she had unfortunately never lived indoors. She is now very happy being inside with her foster homeand would love nothing more than to landa forever home with people who will treat her like the amazing beauty that she is! When Cricket settles she loves to snuggle. She is a total cuddle bug and would love to crawl into the laps of her forever family for hugs and kisses. She will sleep quietly through the night in her crate but would be happier snuggled up with her humans in their beds. Cricket is completely housetrained and knows how to use a dog door. Cricket is up-to-date on her vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. It is recommended that her family have a visible fence and no children under 10 years of age.

Meet Gavyn. Gavyn hasn't exactly had a goodlife, but we are here to ensure he finds the best furever home he deserves. Gavynwas found a year ago as a puppy near a busy road and the owner took him back but failed to keep him safe and he was againfound by a busy road. This time she has agreed to surrender him to rescue. With little to no prior vetting, we quickly got him to our wonderful veterinary clinic,where it was discovered that he retainedhis baby canines and hisother teeth are still up in his gums. One tooth was broken and infected and had to be removed. The veterinary clinic also treated a nasty eye infection. Sadly, this handsome boy was also so terribly matted that we had to shave him. We do know he will have a beautiful, fluffy white coat once it grows in. He is being fostered in the South County Area of St. Louis, Missouri. Gavyn is a Double Merle, whichis the result of breeding Merle to Merle (color pattern) together. Those puppies have a 25% chance of being deaf or blind or both. Gavyn has both - some vision and hearing impairment. He can hear some sounds and is believed to have limited vision in his right eye. He quickly learns to navigate his spaces and will even go up stairs, jump on beds and out of vehicles. Gavyn is a 2 year old rough coat collie. Gavyn is learning "touch training" and quickly picks up commands. He has learned to notify his Foster Mom when he needs to go outside. He is still working on crate training, as he would prefer just left free or wherever you are.He does like car rides and would love to go with you wherever you go, if he was allowed.He is learning to be more tolerant at feeding time and does take a little time getting used to other dogs. Once he has met the other doggies, play time is on! He greatly enjoys playing with other dogs. He does play with toys and chew items. When it's time to sleep, he likes to get on the bed and curl up beside his person. Gavyn is up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is neutered. He requires no further follow-up for the prior medical issues. He is microchipped and will require monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms (no exceptions). Gavyn's ideal home will require a visible fence and no children under 10 years of age. Special needs experience is a bonus.

DogYoungFemaleMediumAustralian-Shepherd
Hi, Makenna here, or Ms. Mary Mak as my foster mom likes to callme.I am a double merle australian shepherd girl that loves everyone.Because I am a double merle, which means both my mother and father were of the merle color pattern, I was born being deaf and I have vision impairment in one of my eyes. My foster mom believes I can hear some things. I have good sight in one eye. Don't let that scare you.... it doesn't stop me from living my life to the fullest. I am crate trained and bell trained. I will ring the bell to let my foster mom know I need to go outside. I enjoy my crate as my bedroombut I do best when the door is not shut at night. When my humanleaves for work, I willingly go into my crate with treats and remain quiet till she returns. This is when I catch up on my beauty sleep! A girl cannot get enough, right? I happen to also think kids are fun to kiss, follow around and love on.I don't jump or scare them either. I am a well behaved girl and love to have my head petted and ears scratched. I am under a year old and while I am learning all kinds of things, I am mostly a quiet and gentle girl. My foster mom says I have found my voice and will bark to get treats. Seems appropriate, doesn't it? I also loveplaying with toys. Balls are so much fun -they roll around,bounce and then I chase them.I know many hand commands such as: watch me, sit, stay, up, good dog and bad dog. I am currently in training with my foster mom to teach me recall - the "come" command, althoughI never stray far because I am a true velcro Aussie! Ilearning how to godown the stairs. I havemastered going up them,but going down is still a little scary to me.Overall, I am a great catch! I love long walks and sharing dinner together, especially at the end whenyou toss me your empty water bottle to play with. If you think I'm your girl, please fill out and app,and be sure to tell me why you aremy fur-ever match! NOTE: Makenna is spayed; up to date on all vaccinations and is microchipped.
