We desperately need a foster or adopter for Ice. His current foster is in the hospital and we have no idea when he will be able to return home. Ice is three years old and weighs around 10 pounds. He is scared of strangers and needs someone patient who can work with him on socialization.

Sweet, little Rosalee was rushed to the emergency vet last night with respiratory issues but unfortunately passed away. We want to thank her wonderful foster mom, Kim, for all she did. Kim and her husband drove all over St. Louis in the middle of the night to get Rosalee the care needed. We are asking for donations to help cover her medical bills. If you have a few dollars to spare please consider donating in Rosalee’s name. ... See more

Life is good. I no longer have to live in a box. I met my new family yesterday. They let me in the house. It was nice and cool. I heard silence. No other dogs barking! I felt safe. I had a bowl of food and water. It was mine! I did not have to fight for it.we went for a walk. I felt protected. I didn’t have to run and hide from people or other dogs. In the room where they slept, I had my own bed. I got to lay in theirs for a while, but mine was perfect and it wasn’t in a box. My life will be good now. Thank you rescue people! Thank you Pam. Thank you Act Now Rescue! And especially thank you to my new family! Don’t we all look good together! ... See more

This is my life. I have lived in a wooden box for well over a week. I feel safe. This box is on a woman’s property. She has given me food and water. The woman reached out to rescue. Act Now Rescue answered the call. I need a ride to St.Louis. Maybe I will no longer live in a box. I had a family at one time. They stopped caring for me.they stopped feeding me. No longer was there water. I had no shelter. One day the man put me in his car. The ride ended abruptly. He reached over, scooped me up and put me on the side of the road. I sat there watching the car growing smaller and smaller. I sat there. The car disappeared. I sat there, afraid to move. Afraid the man wouldn’t see me when he came back for me. I sat there. The heat was unbearable. No cool water. At night I could hear the coyotes. I sat there. I finally realized the man was not coming back. It was time to move on. Water was scarce and food non existent. I walked. I was tired. Then I saw it! A box big enough to crawl in and rest. It was off the ground. It was in front of a home. I wouldn’t have to worry about coyotes or raccoons trying to kill me. A woman saw me in my box. She said it was her box for packages. She let me stay there. She brought me food and water. I feel safe now. My name is RUDI.

This pup is in desperate need of foster. We are located in St.Louis Mo. please contact me. ... See more

UPDATE!! Rizzo went to the vet today and sadly he tested positive for heartworms. He will be starting his meds today and we are looking at his first treatment in November. He still needs a warm loving place to call home for foster or adoption! The vet said he is more along the line is 3 years old based on his teeth. The gray muzzle is probably because he had a rough life up until now.
His remaining vet bill will run the rescue about $500-600. Of you have spare change please DONATE AND SHARE

LOOKING FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTER!!
Please welcome Rizzo to rescue! He was dumped down in Irondale, MO and was hungry so he was killing chickens. The people in the town were scouting him to shoot him to protect their livestock. When we go word of this news Scott Bouchard and I went down and set a trap to catch him and get him to a safe warm home.
He is a boxer mix maybe lab? And very very scared. He is thin, full of fleas and has wounds all over him from a dog fight. (It was either over a female dog in heat or food)
He seems to be ok with dogs as he was running with a pack down there so we can only imagine it was over the female in heat.
Please share, donate or reach out to us if you can provide a warm loving home for him! ... See more
