More about the shelter
Stray Paws Rescue is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, foster-based rescue. Our organization believes it is our moral responsibility to protect and improve the lives of rescue dogs. We pull animals from high kill shelters on their final minutes and off the streets in St. Louis. We feed strays and sets humane traps for the lost and dumped pets and rescue dogs from unsafe home environments to bring them to safety. We provide spay and neuter services and any necessary medical care our rescue dogs need. Many times the dogs we rescue dogs have been neglected or have lived on the streets for so long they need vet care and special treatments. We work with some of the top veterinarians in St. Louis.
Our mission is to save lives, keep our community informed on humane education, training and loving treatment of our companions, and finding the best fit for both the animals in our care and potential forever families! We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue organization we do NOT have a shelter. We are funded solely by donations and adoption fees and continually need contributions to continue our crusade to help as many homeless, abandoned animals as possible.
We are all very dedicated to saving as many dogs as possible. We love all animals and hate to see abused and neglected dogs that no one wants.
Stray Paws Rescue saves awesome dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities and matches them with equally awesome humans from all walks of life, creating families with every adoption. We saved hundreds of dogs, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing adopters!
Through a very detailed application process we place our rescue dogs in loving permanent homes. We call all references including vet checks on any pets they may already have. We do personal interviews and home inspections to make sure our dogs and potential adopters are a perfect fit.
Our adoption fees are:
$300 - 6 Months Or Younger
$250 - 7 Months to 6 Years Old
$175 - 7+ Years Old
We are a foster based rescue only and do not have a shelter. Please complete our adoption application at www.straypawsrescue.com/adoption-application. (you may have to copy/paste the URL in your browser) We review all applications prior to adoption so if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, it's recommended that you complete the application.
About Fiona
Distance: 1,232 Miles
Fiona is a two year old pit mix that is a sweet cuddly dog that loves to investigate the backyard, so a fence would be make this girl happy. Since she has recovered from motherhood, she has regained her strength and can pull while being walked. We are working on this. Fiona tries to sneak out the door so be careful when getting your mail.
She gets along with my 55 lb. male dog. Her prey drive is strong so I am not sure about small dogs, but I would say no cats. She has some small dogs along the fence that she barks and runs the fence with. But seems to be mellowing after time. She gets along with my 8 year old female neighbor but I don't know about younger kids.
Now the biggest and most important need that Fiona has is some one that will manage her surroundings. She does not like men and will possibly bite if given a chance. That requires being put in another room or crate when men are in the house. .
Adoption fee is $250. Apply to foster or adopt at www.straypawsrescue.com
