Barbie and Chloe are both in foster homes after years in boarding. They've always had access to engaging play with other dogs, and a yard to run around in.

Chloe has been in a foster home since last August, and Barbie since the end of the year.

We are so happy their journey from the street, to the shelter, to boarding has now, finally landed them in comfy homes. Both girls came in to the shelter together between 6 months and a year old. Now they're adults.

Help us help each of them transition a final time into a final home.

Let’s talk about why walks matter as part of your dog’s routine.

You may be thinking, “But I have a backyard!” Here’s the thing: even dogs with yards need regular walks. While backyards are great for potty breaks and playtime, walks offer something different.

When dogs walk, they get to engage their minds through sniffing and exploring new environments. Those sniffs aren’t just cute. Sniffing is how they gather information about the world around them! It’s mentally stimulating and is so good for them to engage their brain in different ways than just in their same familiar yard.

Walks can also be part of strengthening your bond, providing important socialization, and helping burn off energy in a structured way.

Pictured you’ll see Chloe, one of our adoptable dogs, out for her weekend stroll at Hermann Park with her foster. Chloe walks great on a leash and no matter if it’s a trip around the neighborhood block or a trip to the park, she loves to stop and smell everything.

We have seen a steep decline this year in fosters, and even adoption activity is down too. Barbie girl is waiting for a foster or adopter! She is a sweet girl that we would love to see go into a home permanently. She has been waiting years, and we just don't know how to reach a new audience for her anymore.
