My story

I was a lonely, feral puppy, in a southern Missouri pound. Trapped in February, I got out of the cold, thanks to the nice ladies at the animal control. Now, I'm in rescue in St. Louis. I've done so well! I'm handsome, calm, dog and cat friendly, gentle, super smart and social. I weigh about 30lbs at 6 months, and will probably be 35-40 lb when I'm big. I'll continue to be shy to new people, until I get to know you. I'm housebroken, leash trained, crate trained and sit on command. I just love new toys and share with my foster brother! I don't chew them up, but I do leave them everywhere in the house! Some might say I'm a typical puppy. I've been vaccinated and wormed and will be neutered soon. If you're interested in meeting me, please reach out. And bring treats, I work for food! Checker's adoption fee is $250.00 which includes 3 rounds of shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative. If you are interested, please complete the Adoption Application on our website at a4apetpantry.org Disclaimer: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of our dogs, we are only guessing at breed mix.  June 2, 2025, 10:20 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Checkers, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
