Title: Cobalt
Artist: Judy Lazarus
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 20" x 30"
Animal Depicted: Cobalt

Cobalt was rescued in August 2025 at just 8 months old. He arrived with a gunshot wound to the head and multiple injuries that were severely infected and infested with maggots. Despite the trauma he endured, Cobalt showed incredible resilience from the very beginning. He underwent surgery to remove the bullet, and he began healing beautifully. His favorite nurse at Stray Rescue, Zaria, decided to take him home as a medical foster where his gentle nature and forgiving heart began to shine through. A few months later, he started showing signs of pain when trying to stand up, so he came back in for the doctors to check him out. They found lingering bullet fragments in the soft tissue of his neck - this poor guy couldn't catch a break. Through it all, Cobalt showed remarkable resilience and an unwavering spirit, proving just how strong and loving dogs can be. Zaria then knew she and Cobalt were meant to be, so she officially adopted him in January 2026. Now known as Koe, he is living his second chance at life to the fullest.

Title: Noelle Silva
Artist: Judy Lazarus
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 20" x 30"
Animal Depicted: Noelle Silva

Noelle Silva came to Stray Rescue in July 2023 after her owner surrendered her simply because he no longer wanted her. After spending
about a year and a half in another home, she was returned to us. Some dogs find their forever family right away and others do a little ping pong until they find the perfect spot. Noelle was one of those girls, and though we hated to see her back in the shelter, our staff and volunteers adored her and loved taking her for walks and adventures. Sometimes the best we can do is learn from their animal's past, and continue to love and support them while they are in our care. Fortunately for Noelle Silva, her human friendships pulled through and helped her to find her forever home. She is finally in HER spot where she can snuggle, play, and live the beautiful life that she has been waiting for.

Title: Kane the Beautiful
Artist: Mirja Bauer / Beefcake Productions
Medium: Acrylic on wood
Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Kane

Donna rescued Kane in December 2025. When she first got him, there was blood EVERYWHERE - all over the clinic, our doctor, Donna's Jeep. Because there was so much blood, we didn't know what his injury was at first. Maybe it was a gunshot? Turns out, he had a very hemorrhagic ear - that would be much easier to treat! He had a quick recovery, and he made a lot of friends while he was living at the shelter. He was such a happy go lucky boy, and he found his forever home in just a few months.

Title: Little Clown

Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 15"
Animal Depicted: Bumblebee

Meet the tiny little girl we named Bumblebee. She came to us from a shelter that couldn't help her medically due to lack of resources. She had a left side femoral neck fracture. In other words, her thigh bone (femur) was broken and no longer connected to her pelvis. We couldn't stand the thought of this little baby being euthanized, so we transported her here right away. This is actually a common injury and one that we can fix right here in our clinic. Bumblebee did great for her surgery, and Dr. Oliver ended up adopting her! Bumblebee, now known as Rookie, is healing beautifully, and she will know nothing but love from here on out!

Title: Saved By Love!
Artist: Ruth Barlow
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 14.5" x 18.5"
Animal Depicted: Renlo

In late October 2025, a woman called us frantically after finding a tiny, emaciated dog in a box. She told us that he was cold to the touch, but he was still breathing. The Good Samaritan rushed him to our clinic, but he was knocking on death's door. Our medical team checked him out and got him stable and then decided to send him to an emergency clinic for 24-hour care. Miraculously, he made it through the night, and he was discharged from the ER two days later. This poor baby was so skinny and weak that he needed to go very slow in his recovery. He was put on a refeeding schedule, and the clinic caregivers took him on short outings throughout the day. Renlo quickly went to a medical foster home so he could heal in a warm, quiet place full of love and one on one attention. Through his foster family, Renlo met his forever family and was adopted in January 2026. He is living the BEST life, and he is a true Warrior Dog of Stray Rescue.

Title: Creme Brulee
Artist: Lydia Mott
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Creme Brulee

On December 15th, a Good Samaritan found Creme Brulee nearly frozen and severely emaciated beside a dumpster. She and her brother wrapped him in a blanket and rushed him to Stray Rescue, where his temperature was too low to register. He was severely dehydrated, suffering from frostbite and infection, and needed immediate supportive care.

Creme Brulee survived that first critical night and slowly regained his strength and appetite. He eventually stood on his own, began taking short walks, and was medically cleared for foster care, where he continued gaining weight and confidence.

His foster mom watched him transform from a tired, uncertain dog into a healthy, gentle, confident boy. After losing her own dog, she hadn't been sure she was ready to open her heart again-but Creme Brulee changed that. When he greeted her after work one day by climbing onto the couch to reach her and then refusing to let go, she knew he was home. Creme Brulee had gone from nearly losing his life to finding the forever family he had always deserved.

Title: Queen Charlotte
Artist: Ian Koller
Medium: Mixed Medium (polymer clay, wood, resin, acrylic paint)
Dimensions: 10" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Queen Charlotte

In January 2026, we got a call from someone in Springfield, MO. They said they found a dog on the highway, and if they were able to get her, could they bring her here? We of course said yes, but then we didn't hear from them. Fast forward a month later. They called and said, "We got her!"

That's right. This dog has been LIVING in the median of east bound and west bound 44 for a month, all by herself! The wonderful people who originally saw her had been trying to trap her, but she was too smart for her own good. She wouldn't go in, and she wouldn't let them come close before she would run off. She was even spotted near a church on the OTHER side of the highway a few times. It's a miracle she wasn't hit. It's another miracle these people didn't give up.

Once she finally made it to Stray Rescue, we named this red-haired beauty Queen Charlotte, and we fell madly in love with her. We would pair walk her with other dogs, and she wanted nothing more than to be admired and adored by everyone around her. As much as we loved her at Stray Rescue, she quickly found her forever home, and we are so happy that she is now safe and secure!

This poor boy had been living in an abandoned house all by himself. He went up the steep steps but then was too scared to come down! Thankfully, the neighbors saw him and called us. The wind was whipping on the second story, and our biggest snowstorm of the season was just hours away. We were only there for about 10 minutes, but we couldn't feel our hands or fingers by the time we leashed him up. We knew he had to be freezing. We named him Snow Mageddon, and we were so thankful to have been able to rescue this sweet guy. It didn't take long for him to find his forever family, and he will never have to worry about living in an abandoned house again.

Title: Peony
Artist: Sally B. Simpson
Medium: Photography
Dimensions: 36" x 24"
Animal Inspiration: Peony (Hyacinth Litter)

In April 2025, a pregnant mama was transferred to our care. We named her Hyacinth, and we were able to set her up with a Pregnant/Nursing Mom & Puppy foster who would take care of her while birthing her puppies and nursing them until they were ready to go out on their own. Pregnant/Nursing Mom & Puppy fosters are SO important to us at Stray Rescue, as they allow mama dogs to live in a peaceful, safe environment, and they provide great stability for puppies. Hyacinth ended up having ELEVEN healthy, beautiful babies in May 2025. She was a wonderful, attentive mama, and her babies were strong, healthy, and ready to go to their own foster homes when they were around 8 weeks old. Peony was adopted into his forever family in November 2025.

Title: Just the Two of Us
Artist: Sheila Michael
Medium: Colored Pencil
Dimensions: 12.25" x 15.25"
Animals Depicted: Fannar & Eira

It was after our first major snowfall of the year, late on a Friday night - a call came in. "A dog may be chained in an abandoned house." The temperature outside? 9°F. On our way we went. The snow helped us track pawprints around abandoned buildings until we found him, a male dog dragging a chain leash (which is why the caller thought he might be chained up). With him was a female companion with a vaginal prolapse, requiring immediate medical attention. Donna couldn't feel her fingers after just a few moments, and our friend Officer Ottengheime met her on site. They were able to secure both dogs in under 10 minutes and get them in the warm Jeep. They were both pink from being cold for so long! We don't know how long they were out there, fending for themselves. They snored with their eyes open as we gently pet them and told them they were safe now. We named them Fannar and Eira, Welsh for "Snow" and "Snowdrift."

Title: Celebrating Life
Artist: Pat Drone
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 20" x 26"
Animal Depicted: Boiled Peanut

Boiled Peanut's story is one of complete betrayal. She came to us weighing just 18 pounds. Even though she was small, cute, and desirable, humans found a way to use her for their personal profit by breeding her and then discarding her. She had a prolapsed uterus and fly strikes on her ears, which told us she had been living outside. She was missing hair, her teeth were in horrible shape, she was anemic and in need of fluids. She was dehydrated, malnourished, had open wounds on her legs, and she was so very dirty. At just 5 years old, life had not been easy - yet once in our care, she craved attention and just wanted to be held.

Boiled Peanut stayed in the clinic and with staff members who promised to give her the love, security, and dignity that she deserved while she healed. With the help of antibiotics, nutrients, clean water, and a lot of rest, she gained enough weight and was ready to be spayed. When the doctor went in to spay her, she found a deceased fetus that had gotten stuck in her uterus. Poor Boiled Peanut - our hearts broke for her all over again. After her spay, it didn't take long for her forever family to find her. She is so spoiled now, and she fits into her forever home like she has always been a part of it.

Title: Zila
Artist: Paul Nuckolls
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 16" x 13.25"
Animal Depicted: Zila

Zila's story began when we received a call about a scared, horrifically injured dog that had wandered into someone's yard. When we arrived, we found a petite dog with severe wounds to her front right foot. It looked like it had been blasted off, and she was so scared and in so much pain, she wouldn't even walk. Cassady got the lead around her, and Julia, who took her own shirt off of her back, wrapped her up and carried her to the Jeep. Once she arrived at the shelter, her injuries were cleaned, and she was finally able to rest comfortably.

Two days after arriving at the shelter, Zila underwent a successful leg amputation surgery. At first, she was fearful and shut down, but once her pain was gone, her personality began to shine. A night spent at home with Sarah, one of the vet techs, changed everything - Zila started playing with toys, jumping into laps, and showing her happy, affectionate side for the first time.

As she healed, Zila adjusted beautifully to life on three legs. Her wounds improved, her tail never stopped wagging, and she became full of kisses, wiggles, and joy. Eventually, she left for a loving foster home where she continued recovering, learning new things, and soaking up all the love she had always deserved.

Title: Mazey in Sedona
Artist: Bill Kambol
Medium: Watercolor
Dimensions: 8" x 8"
Animal Depicted: Mazey

Mazey arrived at Stray Rescue after a long transport from a small shelter in Alabama that knew she deserved a chance to survive. Her paw had been completely degloved, exposing the metacarpals in her wrist area, and no one knew how such a devastating injury had happened. Despite everything, Mazey remained happy, loving, and full of life.

The shelter that sent her here knew exactly where to turn. They knew the Stray Rescue community would step up for a dog like Mazey because supporters from St. Louis and all over the world have built a reputation for showing up for forgotten and injured animals when they need help most.

While the goal was to amputate her leg to finally give her relief, the infection was too severe for surgery right away. Her leg was badly
swollen, hot to the touch, and painfully infected, so the medical team first focused on getting the infection under control with antibiotics
and bandage changes until she was stable enough for surgery.

About a week after she arrived, Mazey underwent a successful amputation. She was a little confused at first, but that did not slow her
down! She quickly found her forever home, and we are so proud to have been a part of her story.

Title: Aye Eye
Artist: Rich Brooks
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 3' x 3'
Animal Depicted: Sabertooth Tiger

Sabertooth Tiger came in as a feral cat who had spent his whole life outside, avoiding people and just trying to survive. Like many feral cats, he had a caretaker who kept an eye on him-but when he stopped eating and started holding his head low in obvious pain, they knew something was very wrong.

At the clinic, x-rays revealed something shocking: a nail had gone straight through his jaw, likely from a nail gun. Miraculously, his jaw wasn't shattered, and Dr. Oliver was able to carefully remove it.

After surgery, Sabertooth Tiger started feeling much better and even began showing hints of his personality. He also had an old eye injury that wasn't healing and had already lost vision, so the team made the decision to remove it to help him fully recover.

As the days went on, he slowly started to trust his caregivers. That's when Cassady moved him into her office-and everything changed. Sabertooth Tiger turned into the snuggliest, most affectionate cat. He adores sitting in her lap, soaking up attention, and enjoying treats like Churus.

Sabertooth Tiger truly lives up to his name-a resilient little warrior-and his transformation shows just how powerful patience,
care, and love can be.

Title: Glow Up
Artist: Sara Requena
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 12.25" x 15.25"
Animal Depicted: Buckminster

Our doors flung open and a Good Samaritan came in with this wet dog in their arms. His bottom jaw was twisted in a disturbing and unnatural way. We rushed him into our trauma center where Dr. Ortiz dropped what she was doing and ran to his side. She immediately administered pain medications and lightly sedated him so she could reduce his stress while she took a look into his mouth. Horrifically, she estimated this injury occurred ONE to TWO WEEKS ago. Yes, you read that right. This small little angel had been running the streets by himself in unfathomable pain. We can't bear to think about how scared he must have been. He also hasn't been able to eat since his injury, and we can see his ribs under his curly fur.

We named him Buckminster, after the Ice Age cartoon character. We snuggled him in blankets and told him he was going to be ok, but first he would need to be very brave. We needed to put in a feeding tube while we consulted with orthopedic surgeons and specialists to determine how best to save his life.

After undergoing a major surgery to remove the dead part of his lower jaw, Buckminster returned to us as if nothing had ever happened! He has the liveliest, most grateful spirit, and he is loving his new lease on life!

Title: Rhapsody
Artist: Ashling Ryan
Medium: Stained Glass
Dimensions: 12" x 12"
Animal Depicted: Rhapsody

The call came in, and it was a race against time. Rhapsody was in Texas, dangerously close to being euthanized at an overcrowded shelter
that could not provide the extensive medical care she needed. Thanks to the support of Stray Rescue's community, the answer was "yes," and Rhapsody was given a chance.

Officer Ottengheime, who works closely with Stray Rescue, volunteered her day off to help transport Rhapsody to safety. When they arrived, Rhapsody's injuries were heartbreaking. She had a massive third-degree burn covering much of her lower back, along with burns on her paw pads. No one knew exactly what had happened to her, but it was clear she had suffered terribly. On top of her painful injuries, she was also battling heartworm disease.

Despite everything, Rhapsody remained incredibly gentle and calm. She underwent daily bandage changes, wound cleanings, and laser
treatments to help heal her severe burn. Even in the chaos of her treatments, Rhapsody's spirit shone through. She was a silly, endearing, belly rub-loving girl who wanted all of the attention she could possibly have.

Rhapsody is currently living an amazing life in a foster home while she completes her intensive medical care, and she will soon be ready to find the loving family she deserves.

Title: Bannister
Artist: Kathleen Ireland

Animal Depicted: Bannister

One of our first rescues of 2024, Bannister was rescued on a very cold day. Neighbors spotted him on their Ring cameras howling on their front porches. We took him immediately, and at first he was very reserved and shy. He was so skinny, arthritic, and just wanted to sleep and get warm. As time went on and he gained some weight, he became one of the most affectionate old men in the shelter. He gives hugs, kisses, and loves to get pets. He is a great walker, in fact he is often taken out by volunteer groups because he is so good. Bannister is coming up on TWO YEARS of living in the shelter, and all he wants is a home (and mainly a couch) to call his own. Bannister is ready to spend the rest of his golden years as the best friend you have always wanted.

Title: Triple Cheese
Artist: Elizabeth Touchette-Steward
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 6" x 8"
Animal Depicted: Triple Cheese

It was a really cold day in late December, and some of our caregivers were grabbing lunch when they saw a poor pup, scouring for food in the streets. He wouldn't let them come close, so Donna met them to help. He was on high alert - jumping as cars went by - and he kept his distance. Donna set a trap and patiently watched him. Time went by, and the sun went down. Finally, this boy decided he was too cold to suffer on the streets another night, and he went into the trap.

We named him Triple Cheese, and he was an absolute doll. The moment he was in the trap, he melted like so many do. He knew he didn't have to fend for himself anymore; we would take care of him. He saw the doctor, got a bath, got a bed, and enjoyed a nice, warm night at the shelter. It didn't take long for him to find his forever home, and he's been living the good life ever since!

Title: Lifted By Love
Artist: Lisa Tuttle
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 16" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Metallica

Metallica was a very special boy to us here at Stray Rescue. He came into our care in 2019 as a puppy, and he was quickly adopted. After living in a home for over two years, he was returned because the adopter could no longer care for him. Coming back to the shelter was very stressful for him, and the impact of being a "pandemic dog" seemed to have hindered his socialization skills. Once he warmed up to people, he was amazing, but he could be shy and scared at first. He wasn't a fan of other dogs, and the loud shelter made it difficult for him to decompress. Fortunately, we have amazing staff and volunteers at Stray Rescue who focus much of their time and energy on dogs like Metallica. He had a core group of "friends" that would regularly take him on walks and adventures, and most importantly - snuggle with him whenever they got the chance. He loved to snuggle.

Sadly, at just 7 years old, Metallica developed an aggressive cancer that progressed quickly. He also had arthritis and had previously torn his ACL, so his quality of life was diminishing. He was in pain, and his loved ones (staff and volunteers) decided it would be selfish to make him carry on.

In October 2025, all of Metallica's favorite people gathered in one of the play yards to give him one last beautiful day. They snuggled with him, thanked him for bettering their lives, and surrounded him with more love than some will ever know. Metallica had found his family - it was us all along. His volunteer mama Andrea even signed his adoption papers before guiding him over the rainbow bridge. He did belong. He did matter. He did have a home. He knew trust, compassion, friendship, and most importantly, he knew love.

"To be chosen by Metallica was an honor. He wasn't a dog you could just walk up to and be friends; you had to earn it. Once you were in, you were in for life. Everything with Metallica was big. His body, his appetite, his emotions. He had barks that would clear a room, a smile that would light up any gloomy day, and love that could piece your heart back together when it was broken."
- Andrea, Metallica's Mom

Thanks for being the best boy, and we will see you again, Metallica.

Title: Fanny & Bixby
Artist: Patricia Drone
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 26.5" x 32.25"
Animals Depicted: Fanny & Bixby

On any given day, there are numerous victims of gun violence in our shelter. Whether we find them with old, poorly healed gunshot wounds, bullets lodged in their bodies that show up on x-rays, or when they are rushed here in critical condition, we see more than our fair share of man's best friend horrifically betrayed by gun violence and riddled with bullets.

This is the story of Fanny & Bixby.

These two precious girls had been kept in an abandoned house by their former owner. It was dark, hot, and full of trash. To make a desperate situation even worse, when the house was robbed for drugs, both dogs were shot multiple times and left for dead. Officer Ottengheime and Officer Stevens rushed them to Stray Rescue because they knew we would do everything we could to save their lives. Our doctors and vet techs were able to triage, treat, and stabilize both dogs and manage their pain.

Bixby was shot in the front leg, back leg, and tail. Her injuries would result in months of surgeries and healing.

Her friend, Fanny, was sadly shot in the chest, the bullet piercing her lung. We rushed our critical patient to Mizzou with a chest tube in place, so Dr. Ortiz could remove air and blood from her thoracic cavity during the transport. After 48 hours of intensive care, she succumbed to her injuries. Her lungs were too damaged by the bullets, so she couldn't survive the lifesaving surgery she needed. After exhausting all efforts and praying hard for a miracle, this was a heartbreaking call to receive.

Losing Fanny hit all of us hard. From the veterinary team to the caregivers and administrative teams to the responding officers - we collectively grieved for her. Every day in rescue is different. We never know what we are going to face each day, but we are honored to have the opportunity to do everything possible to try to save them all.

Bixby is still on her road to recovery. It hasn't been easy, but she is the sweetest, most loving girl who simply wants to live her life. She loves giving hugs and kisses, getting belly rubs, and curling up on any piece of furniture she can get to. She has her forever family (not so) patiently waiting for her. Once she is medically cleared and finished with her strict exercise restrictions, she will become an official member of their family and she will be showered with all of the love that she deserves. Bixby is sure to live out enough life for her and Fanny combined.

Status: Fanny crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and Bixby's adoption will be finalized once she is medically cleared.

It's not a day in rescue if your heart doesn't stop a few times! One July afternoon, we received a call about a dog hiding out on the very busy Highway 55/64 in East St. Louis. He was hunkered down and shaking, not knowing where to go! After a little coaxing, Donna was able to rescue him safely! It turned out that Jet's original owner had given him away, and we tried to get a hold of the current owner. Without any luck, Jet quickly went to a foster family who fell in love with him and adopted him just two weeks later!

Title: Flopsy
Artist: Marina Claunch / Marina Jewelry STL
Medium: Acrylic Paint, Paint Markers, Tissue Paper
Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Flopsy of Hopper & The Easter Pups

This mama found the BEST place to hide her babies.

A call came in that a sick mama dog had wandered onto someone's farm and gave birth. We headed out as rain pounded against the Jeep. We arrived on the property and saw her - she was missing just about all of her hair. She was interested in us, but she wouldn't let us approach, so we set up a humane trap. This hungry, nursing mama went right in and gave us no trouble at all.

We followed the farm owner through the squelching mud to a shed full of hay. That's where mom had her three puppies hidden. "What a good mama you are!" The puppies were dry and warm. One was on the tiny side, so we knew we would need to keep an eye on her, but this mom had given her babies everything she had.

It was Easter weekend, so we named mom Hopper, and we named her three babies Mopsy, Flopsy, and Cottontail. We reunited Hopper with her babies at the shelter, and we gave her a warm, sudsy bath. It was the first time she had ever been cared for. At first she was nervous by our touch, but she eventually began to lean into it. She would learn more about people at her foster home where she and her babies could be in a safe, quiet place together.

Title: This Is Rescue
Artist: Andrea Urban
Medium: Stained Glass
Dimensions: 6" x 6"
Animal Depicted: Murray

In September 2025, Murray was found roaming a neighborhood in terrible condition-extremely thin, covered in painful, ruptured tumors, and likely suffering for quite some time on his own. Concerned neighbors had been trying to help, and when rescuers arrived, he was safely trapped and rushed to the clinic. Despite everything, Murray showed just how sweet he was right away.

Veterinarians diagnosed him with a high-grade mast cell tumor, and due to the size and location, it couldn't be surgically removed. At around 10 years old, he was considered a hospice case. But instead of giving up, his team started him on antibiotics, steroids, and oral chemotherapy-and he responded incredibly well. His tumors began to shrink, and his comfort quickly improved.

Murray was placed in a loving hospice foster home, where he finally got to experience the comfort and care he had been missing. Surrounded by love, he gained weight, relaxed, and let his happy, goofy personality shine. In an amazing turn, one of his tumors even disappeared without surgery, leaving everyone in awe of his progress.

Though he was still battling cancer, Murray continued to fight with strength and joy. Once alone and suffering on the streets, he became a symbol of resilience and hope, showing just how powerful love and care can be.

On March 16th, Murray peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded in love by his foster mom and his adoring medical team. His cancer had returned, and we knew it was time to let him go. We are so grateful that Murray was able to live six months of his life filled
with more love than he had ever known. We will see you again, Murray. Thank you for trusting us and changing us
for the better.

Title: A New Day, A New Life
Artist: Lea Ann Smith
Medium: Ink
Dimensions: 11" x 14"
Animal Depicted: Effie Lee

In late September, we had quite a day in rescue. Not one, but two dogs arrived with severe cases of demodex mange. And we had a third on his way from southeast Missouri. They have been miserable and neglected for so long. No one helped them. Tiny, microscopic mites infested their skin, causing them to lose their hair, suffer from constant and intense itchiness, and of course infection. When the first one arrived, we named her Effie Lee.

You would have thought she was elderly, but she was just a pup at two years old. Her skin was extremely painful and warm to the touch. She had mucus discharge from both eyes, and we could see live fleas climbing all over her skin. After a skin scrape, we also saw the mites. Demodex Mange is not directly fatal, but severe infection can become life-threatening. She was in for a fight despite her exhaustion and weakened immune system.

She was so shut down and tried to hide from us, but we promised her that we saw her, and we were going to make her world so much better.

As she spent more time with us, we realized she was so afraid of people. Having feral tendencies and shying away from us made her healing journey take a little longer, but she eventually came around. She found safety and comfort in the doctors and vet techs, and she very slowly started to open up. She also started to make a few dog friends, and that's when she really started to shine.

Effie Lee went to a foster home where she began to thrive. After several months with her foster family, she found her forever family. She will never have to endure that kind of suffering again.

Artist: Marci Kelley

Animal Depicted: Veto

Veto has been with us at Stray Rescue since April 2025. This guy is BEGGING to find his forever home, and we know that it's out there! He is the total package: sweet, smart, and ready to love! This handsome boy has all the adorable charm of a puppy, without the headaches that usually come with one. No chewed-up shoes here-Veto has great house manners and isn't one to get into trouble.

Veto is potty and crate trained, and he settles in well when it's time to relax. Like many other stray dogs, Veto can be a little protective over his food, so he must be crated during mealtimes for his safety and for the safety of furry and human family members. He is his best self with clear boundaries and a consistent routine.

Veto is dog-friendly, and he has so many friends here at the shelter. If you are looking for a well-mannered, lovable dog who is past the puppy chaos but still full of playful energy and affection, Veto might just be your perfect match!

Johnny Bravo is a calm, gentle, and exceptionally well-behaved boy who has quickly become a volunteer favorite at Stray Rescue of St. Louis. He's often chosen by staff and volunteers for outings and pair walks, which speaks to how trustworthy, friendly, and easygoing he is.

In his apartment at the shelter, Johnny is very chill and quiet - he rarely barks and doesn't react to the hustle and bustle around him. He shows excellent manners and settles in easily, making him a wonderful companion for a relaxed home
environment.

Johnny is a fantastic leash walker who truly enjoys his daily walks. He may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, he warms up beautifully. Once he feels comfortable, his playful side comes out - especially in the yard, where he loves running, exploring, and enjoying some fun before settling back into his calm nature.

He would thrive in a home that appreciates a gentle, steady companion and understands that the best bonds are built with trust and time. In return, Johnny offers quiet loyalty, sweet affection, and the kind of calm presence that makes every day a little brighter.

If you're looking for a dog who is well-behaved, easygoing, and ready to be someone's steady best friend, Johnny Bravo could be just what you are looking for.

Malcolm is an island dog that came to Stray Rescue in 2020. Over the years, he has found safety and comfort in some of his favorite staff

He benefits greatly from outings with his friends, and we are so grateful to the people who love him so much and give him breaks from the shelter and extra enrichment. Malcolm is a special guy who often brings a calming, intentional energy to those who are lucky enough to call him a friend.

Title: Barking Up the Wrong Sea
Artist: Claire Krofft
Medium: Paper Collage
Dimensions: 11" x 14"
Animal Depicted: Captain Burnham & Captain Pike

One day in late August 2025, we rescued ten lives - mom (Captain Burnham), dad (Captain Pike), and eight puppies! The night before we rescued them, they were dumped in an alley. Neighbors gathered together to contain all of the puppies. Mom was sick - she wouldn't get up, and dad was at large but staying close.

We carried mom to the jeep, loaded up the puppies, and earned dad's trust. As soon as we were on our way to Stray Rescue, dad warmed right up and couldn't get close enough to us! We also discovered that the mom was NOT sick. She was just so terrified; she was paralyzed in fear. She was so worried about herself and her babies. But everyone was ok, and we were so thankful that this story had such a happy ending. We were grateful for the neighbors that worked together to help this frightened family, and we named them all in Star Trek theme.

Captain Pike and the babies were adopted fairly quickly, while mama Captain Burnham took a little extra time to find her forever home. We are so happy to have been a part of giving this family the happily ever afters that they all deserve!

Title: Fly Free from the Chains
Artist: Laurie Rowlett

Dimensions: 30" x 30"
Animal Depicted: Igloo

We received a call on a freezing cold January day that an emaciated dog was left chained to a fence. We had never taken so much pleasure in cutting a chain than we did his. He was so cold and covered in open wounds, but his soft, loving eyes let us know how grateful he was to be free. We named him Igloo, and we brought him back to the shelter and gave him so much love. Today, Igloo is living in a foster home being the silly, happy, and very playful dog that he always deserved to be. He is empathetic, loving, and easy going. Igloo will find his forever family one day, but until then, he is safe with us, and he will never be chained outside again.

Title: Coffee With Creme Brulee
Artist: Laurie Rowlett
Medium: Mixed media collage
Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Creme Brulee

On December 15th, a Good Samaritan found Creme Brulee nearly frozen and severely emaciated beside a dumpster. She and her brother wrapped him in a blanket and rushed him to Stray Rescue, where his temperature was too low to register. He was severely dehydrated, suffering from frostbite and infection, and needed immediate supportive care.

Creme Brulee survived that first critical night and slowly regained his strength and appetite. He eventually stood on his own, began taking
short walks, and was medically cleared for foster care, where he continued gaining weight and confidence.

His foster mom watched him transform from a tired, uncertain dog into a healthy, gentle, confident boy. After losing her own dog, she hadn't been sure she was ready to open her heart again-but Creme Brulee changed that. When he greeted her after work one day by climbing onto the couch to reach her and then refusing to let go, she knew he was home. Creme Brulee had gone from nearly losing his life to finding the forever family he had always deserved.

Title: Leather & Lace

Leather & Lace got their freedom ride with Donna on a very hot June day. The duo had been running around, but the temperatures were way too high for dogs to be out roaming. Donna was able to get them both into the jeep and brought them back to the shelter. They immediately were so friendly, cuddly, and happy. Lace was a little more reserved, but she was still so sweet. Leather was just happy to be there! Lace quickly found her forever home, and Leather is patiently waiting at the shelter for his.

Title: Papa Alaska
Artist: Kimberly Dierker
Medium: Oil paint
Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Papa Alaska

In late September, we had quite a day in rescue. Not one, but two dogs arrived with severe cases of demodex mange. And we had a third on his way from southeast Missouri. They had been miserable and neglected for so long. No one helped them. Tiny, microscopic mites infested their skin, causing them to lose their hair, suffer from constant and intense itchiness, and of course infection. Papa Alaska was the second one to arrive that day.

When he first came in, we would have never guessed that he was just a 1-year-old. His skin was raw, bleeding, and painful. He looked completely defeated, but he was interested in what we were doing, and he enjoyed being touched. In fact, he yearned for our touch and would lean all of his weight into us. We promised him that we would get him all fixed up and then we would find him the most amazing forever home.

Within a few weeks, Papa Alaska went to a foster home where he would go on to make a full recovery. His personality blossomed. He was so affectionate, and his whole demeanor changed. He was no longer defeated but instead, hopeful.

Papa Alaska's forever family came along and scooped him up. What a lucky family they were to have such a beautiful dog that at one point, no one would even give a second glance to. He now goes by Queso, and he is never looking back.

Title: Sitka
Artist: Rosemary Sturm
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 20" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Sitka

Sitka was transferred to Stray Rescue as a medical emergency that other facilities would not have had the resources to treat him. There were so many stories that we heard about what had happened to him, but we do believe that he was attacked by other dogs. He arrived with a broken jaw and lameness in one of his front legs. But he was just a baby - three months old weighing 25 pounds. The clinic worked quickly to stabilize him and began making phone calls right away to see what the specialists thought could be done. We weren't sure at the moment what was going to be the most humane path for Sitka, but we stayed positive that there was hope for him. The very next day, Dr. Ortiz transferred Sitka to Mizzou herself, so they could begin working on his jaw right away. After two major surgeries, Sitka spent a few days at Mizzou to recover, and then he came back to us at Stray Rescue. He got stronger every day, and one of his doctors from the surgery center even decided to be his medical foster! He was in such great hands with Dr. Naes, and he quickly adjusted to his new way of life. He was able to eat all on his own and most importantly - he was able to be a puppy again. Sitka found his forever home just a few weeks later, and he has put all of the terrible memories behind him.

Title: Fla-Vor Ice

Dimensions: 7" x 9" oval canvas
Animal Depicted: Fla-Vor Ice

We received a call from someone that a dog showed up at their house and wouldn't leave. They were so scared that they wouldn't go outside "for days." Donna headed out and met the happiest, wiggliest little pup and she hopped right in the car. But while driving, Donna's lips and tongue were tingling, and her throat was scratchy. She brought her to the clinic, and almost instantly, our doctors and Vet Techs had the same reaction. Someone had pepper sprayed this little pup! The person who called denied it, so we're not sure where or when, and no one was going to tell us the truth anyway. We got her right into the bath to get her cleaned off. Fla-Vor Ice quickly found her forever home, and she will never encounter someone pepper spraying her again.

Rolex is 8 years old and like all of the other dogs in the shelter deserves a chance in a home, especially being a senior dog. Not convinced? Here's his Top Ten list from one of his best friends!

1. He is completely house broken and loves to go home with his volunteer friends for sleepovers.
2. He is non-destructive and does not resource guard. I can give him a toy and take it away anytime without incident. I can put his food or water down and move it around in his presence, and he is unphased.
3. If needed, he takes medication very easily.
4. He does not beg for food when I am eating in his presence.
5. He has excellent car manners. He typically stays in the back seat and is a joy to have as a passenger.
6. He is very easy to leash up at the shelter and in a home.
7. He has multiple dogs at the shelter that he goes with for paired walks. He has perfect manners around other dogs at the park. He typically minds his own business without any problems.
8. Rolex is not a huge fan of the extreme heat, and it is so easy to put a cooling vest on him. He also hates the extreme cold, and it takes little effort to put on a coat or sweater.
9. He tolerates a bath like a champ!
10. He loves people! When introduced correctly, he becomes an instant friend for life.

He is a wonderful dog, and his friends are enamored with him! Come meet Rolex today!

They enjoyed attention from their caregivers and loved to play in the play yards. Getting them off the street, having them neutered, and knowing they will join loving families is what Stray Rescue is all about! Plus, can you handle Quade's sweet smile?!

Title: Queen Fawn (Kings & Queens of Stray Rescue)
Artist: Lisa Graf Photography
Medium: Photography
Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Fawn

No, that is not a baby deer. It's our beloved girl, Fawn!

This 3 year old girl has so many friends at the shelter. She has some serious shelter stress, so her friends come and get her and take her for long walks out of the shelter. That's when she smiles, she relaxes, and can be herself. She's affectionate, cute, loves to sniff, and loves to hug. She's great in the car and easy going, too.

Fawn is dog friendly and even though she has so many human friends at the shelter, she has some stranger danger, so just come in slow and let her know you are a safe space. She loves both men and women, but seems to prefer men in house-type settings. Although she would do great with any person or couple who will let her settle in.

We would love to see Fawn go to a foster or forever home soon, she's an absolute doll. You will be smitten, guaranteed!

Title: Queen Sherbet (Kings & Queens of Stray Rescue)
Artist: Lisa Graf Photography

Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Sherbet

To know Sherbet is to love her. She was originally rescued on a very hot day. We found her in a junk yard, skinny, hot, and so sad. We quickly learned this girl was dying for attention. She loves to be loved, babied, and ESPECIALLY belly rubbed. It doesn't matter what she's doing, she WILL find time for a belly rub. She'll demand it, but she's so cute about it, you just can't help but climb on the ground with her. She would have been adopted about a thousand times by now, but she has some quirks and is looking for the right family.

Sherbet needs to be your only pet and is looking for an adult-only home. She has gotten very stressed in the shelter and doesn't show her true self until she's off the property. THEN she twirls, hugs, and delights. She would love to meet someone who is ready to be doted on by her. She is oozing with love to give, and she wants to be your loyal and steadfast protector. If you're ready for a love like Sherbet's, apply now! Her adoption comes with all of the #oneloveclub benefits.

Her best shelter friends describe her as funny, cute, and 100% adorable. She is a great walking buddy, and she loves to go for car rides. Her friends here at the shelter simply adore her, and they are cheering her on to find her forever home sooner than later.

This gorgeous girl is Hot Cocoa, and she is ready to find her forever family! She is incredibly loyal, smart, and sweet to her human friends, but she's not a big fan of other dogs or cats.

Animal Depicted: Rolex

Rolex is 8 years old and like all of the other dogs in the shelter deserves a chance in a home, especially being a senior dog. Not convinced? Here's his Top Ten list from one of his best friends!

1. He is completely house broken and loves to go home with his volunteer friends for sleepovers.
2. He is non-destructive and does not resource guard. I can give him a toy and take it away anytime without incident. I can put his food or water down and move it around in his presence, and he is unphased.
3. If needed, he takes medication very easily.
4. He does not beg for food when I am eating in his presence.
5. He has excellent car manners. He typically stays in the back seat and is a joy to have as a passenger.
6. He is very easy to leash up at the shelter and in a home.
7. He has multiple dogs at the shelter that he goes with for paired walks. He has perfect manners around other dogs at the park. He typically minds his own business without any problems.
8. Rolex is not a huge fan of the extreme heat, and it is so easy to put a cooling vest on him. He also hates the extreme cold, and it takes little effort to put on a coat or sweater.
9. He tolerates a bath like a champ!
10. He loves people! When introduced correctly, he becomes an instant friend for life.

He is a wonderful dog, and his friends are enamored with him! Come meet Rolex today!

Quade was rescued with his brother, Quint. These boys showed up with a pack we were monitoring for rescue. On the street, they were shy and kept their distance. But Quade & Quint were both rescued and took their freedom ride on the same day. Once at the shelter, their personalities started to shine. They enjoyed attention from their caregivers and loved to play in the play yards. Getting them off the street, having them neutered, and knowing they will join loving families is what Stray Rescue is all about! Plus, can you handle Quade's sweet smile?!

Title: Fawn's Photography
Artist: Lisa Graf Photography
Medium: Photography
Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Fawn

No, that is not a baby deer. It's our beloved girl, Fawn!

This 3 year old girl has so many friends at the shelter. She has some serious shelter stress, so her friends come and get her and take her for long walks out of the shelter. That's when she smiles, she relaxes, and can be herself. She's affectionate, cute, loves to sniff, and loves to hug. She's great in the car and easy going, too.

Fawn is dog friendly and even though she has so many human friends at the shelter, she has some stranger danger, so just come in slow and let her know you are a safe space. She loves both men and women, but seems to prefer men in house-type settings. Although she would do great with any person or couple who will let her settle in.

We would love to see Fawn go to a foster or forever home soon, she's an absolute doll. You will be smitten, guaranteed!

Title: Sherbet's Photography

Animal Depicted: Sherbet

To know Sherbet is to love her. She was originally rescued on a very hot day. We found her in a junk yard, skinny, hot, and so sad. We quickly learned this girl was dying for attention. She loves to be loved, babied, and ESPECIALLY belly rubbed. It doesn't matter what she's doing, she WILL find time for a belly rub. She'll demand it, but she's so cute about it, you just can't help but climb on the ground with her. She would have been adopted about a thousand times by now, but she has some quirks and is looking for the right family.

Sherbet needs to be your only pet and is looking for an adult-only home. She has gotten very stressed in the shelter and doesn't show her true self until she's off the property. THEN she twirls, hugs, and delights. She would love to meet someone who is ready to be doted on by her. She is oozing with love to give, and she wants to be your loyal and steadfast protector. If you're ready for a love like Sherbet's, apply now! Her adoption comes with all of the #oneloveclub benefits.

Title: Virgil

Animal Depicted: Virgil

Virgil was confiscated from a very sad situation. At just 3 months old, he came in wearing a medical wrap on his paw and his tail. He had been hit by something - we weren't sure what - and he could barely move. When we unwrapped his paw and tail, one of his toes and his tail literally just fell off. We treated his infections, cleaned his wounds, and took him into surgery. Once he was on the mend, he felt so much better. He did have to have his tail docked and had wound treatment to the toe, but he healed beautifully and he quickly found his forever home.

Title: Why So Serious?
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 28" x 21"

The stray cat problem is overwhelming. There is never a time when I am out feeding that I don't see multiple stray cats. This beauty was originally sitting in the doorway of an abandoned house and then moved to the window. I thought it was a great image with the contrast of the kitty, the bricks, the bare vines and the darkness inside the house. He/she sat there watching me but then darted inside when I moved in closer to leave some food. Hopefully this kitty came back out to enjoy their meal.

Title: Through a Broken Window
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 24" x 24"

It was a really cold day as I was driving around, and I noticed this black kitty taking refuge inside the abandoned house. Even though the window was broken, the house provided some protection from the cold. I liked the image of the black kitty inside with the torn screen and the reflection of the brick across the street in the broken glass.

There are so many stray cats which is why TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) is so important. Stray Rescue collaborates with cat rescue groups to help with spay/neuter, and we also have helped TNR with feral colony groups. Sometimes it hardly feels like we are making a dent, but certainly every cat that is altered makes a huge difference.

Title: Ferry Street Ferals
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 28" x 20"

I met a really nice man one day while out feeding. I happened to spot some kittens in a front yard, and the gentleman came outside to see what I was doing. I asked about the cats and kittens, and he said he has been feeding them. He had about 12 bowls for food lined up and down the gangway by his house. I'm not sure he knew the exact number of cats in the colony, but it was obviously getting to be overwhelming. I could see that some of the kittens needed medical care, and they all seemed young enough to rehabilitate and adopt out. So, I offered to take the kittens.

The adults were feral, so I offered to come back and set traps. I let him know we would spay/neuter, vaccinate, and administer prevention before returning them, and there would be no cost. He was grateful for the help and looked forward to them coming back.

It's nice to help with the TNR's (Trap, Neuter, Return) when I know they have a caregiver keeping an eye on them and making sure they are fed, have fresh water and have protective shelter.

Animal Depicted: Isla

It was the heat of the summer when I spotted three strays trying to cool off in the shade underneath a school bus. I noticed one of the three was injured, so she had to be my priority for rescue, but I told the other two I would be back for them.

I was glad to see they both listened and stayed put so I could find them again and get them off the street. I saw the white female sitting by this sign "Pick Up Meals Here." It's like she knew if she sat there, she would get fed. I bet she never guessed that sitting there would actually lead to her freedom ride. It felt amazing to be able to rescue all three of them who are now living in loving homes.

Title: Snowed In
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 18" x 30"

When I first saw this kitty, he was sitting on top of a dumpster in an alley. I don't know if he was dumpster diving for food, or if the top of the dumpster was warm from the sun. He didn't stay long though. As I approached, he darted off into the snow, and I couldn't see him. Pretty soon his head popped up above the snow. He had a small trench dug out in the snow, leading into a pipe in the ground. These animals are so smart; he knew that pipe was a place to keep warm and safe. He would disappear and come back, disappear and come back. I guess he wanted to keep an eye on me while I was there watching him.

Title: Lumi's Place
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 28" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Lumi

This smart girl took some time and patience to finally rescue. I first saw her one day when I was out on another rescue call. As I passed by a street not far from the shelter, I spotted her laying in the street. I quickly turned around to check on her and found her at the place that would be "our usual meeting spot" for the next few months.

Lumi (as she would be named after rescue), stayed at this red brick abandoned house. At first, she would always bark at me when I pulled up. I thought she might have puppies she was protecting because her bark was that intense. But, as it turns out, she was just protecting her place. She stayed in the front part of the house, and every time I arrived, I would hear her start barking and run out of the house. I would put food and water down along the side of the house so no one would bother her. This was our routine for quite awhile. I tried setting a trap, but Lumi didn't want to have anything to do with it. So I just kept coming, leaving food and gaining her trust. Finally, she would come out wagging her tail a bit, and patiently sit on the sidewalk waiting for me to put her food down. All this time, I kept trying to think of a way to get her off the street.

The hot days turned into cold days and the thought of her still being out there was killing me. It was snowing and sleeting one day when I drove by. My intention was to just leave food again. But then I thought of another plan. I parked farther down the street where she wouldn't hear me pull up, and I quietly approached down the side of the building and into the back door. It worked! I had her cornered in that front room before she was able to hear me and run out.

The poor girl was trembling so hard. Between being terrified and cold, her body would not stop shaking. There was NO WAY I was leaving without her this time. After having a conversation with her about how all this was going to go, I finally got a leash on her, got her out of the house and into the warm shelter. This girl could finally get some good sleep. She became THE best girl. She is still looking for her forever home, but I can guarantee whoever adopts her will be getting the perfect companion.

Title: Watching From the Second Story
Artist: Donna Lochmann
Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 26.5" x 17"
Animal Depicted: Oscar Mayer

This handsome boy was heard howling and crying from inside this abandoned house at night. A neighbor finally figured out where this distressing sound was coming from and called us when he realized the dog was trapped inside.

When we arrived, we discovered the open basement window which had to be how this big boy got in. But since the window was so high up from the basement floor, he had no way to jump back out.

We climbed in through the window and made our way upstairs which is where the dog had been staying. He was trying to let people know he was there by peeking his head out the open window on the second story.

He was shy at first, but as it often happens, they warm up to the Vienna sausages. I got him leashed and back down to the basement where we just had to get him up and out the window. He was a big boy and still a bit apprehensive to let us pick him up, so we built a ramp with a mattress and old door we found in the basement. I handed the leash to the police officer waiting outside and got the dog started up the ramp with a trail of more sausages. Once he started up, the officer pulled a little on the leash, and the dog was safe outside.

We named him Oscar Mayer, and this big sweet boy is now adopted and happy to have a family of his own!

Dimensions: 23.5" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Pluribus

I spotted this girl standing out in a field. Even from a distance I could see the stain on her white fur around her neck from an embedded collar. She was skittish, so I had to follow her for a bit before I could get her to stop for food. She was definitely hungry and needed help for the wound on her neck, so I set a trap. She had already eaten a little, so I was hoping she was still hungry enough to go in my trap. She watched me from the brush across the street as I set the trap. As soon as I pulled down the street to watch her, she went over to check things out. Thankfully she was still hungry for more Vienna sausages, and she went right into the trap!

Pluribus received the medical attention she needed and is now happy in her forever home.

Animals on the street will find whatever they can to have a comfortable place to lay. I know this dog; he isn't technically a street dog. His "owner" lives in the house right next to where I found him laying in this discarded hot tub. He isn't homeless, but he does live on the street. The owners have refused help with the dogs, and sadly they have multiple dogs that will end up producing more puppies who will be forced to live out on the street. We have been able to rescue some in the past as the puppies have wandered looking for food. But the remaining dogs fend for themselves, exposed to all the dangers of the streets for a stray dog.

Animal Depicted: Reuben Carter

We got a call about a dog laying on a mattress in an abandoned building. When I arrived, I spotted him in a trash-filled room sitting on a filthy mattress. He sat there looking at me, and when I started talking to him, I got a little tail wag. When he stood up, I realized that he had a nasty prolapsed rectum. This boy urgently needed our help. Part of the prolapse looked black, like the tissue was dying.

He was easy to leash, but got to enjoy some Vienna Sausages anyway. This boy was ready to go get some help, and he climbed right into the jeep.

We name him Rueben Carter, and he has been the sweetest boy during his time at the shelter. No one can believe he is still waiting for his forever family.

Medium: Digital Photograph with Repurposed Wooden Window Frame
Dimensions: 24" x 30"

The snow was deep and the temperatures were freezing, but this stray boy was on the move. He was not interested in coming up to me, so I followed him for a bit to see if he would settle somewhere and let me try to set a trap for him. I noticed his front legs bent at a weird angle, but that didn't seem to slow him down much. He kept moving and never allowed me to get close. In the meantime, a call came in to Stray Rescue about an injured dog, so I had to leave to rescue that dog. I continually go back to this area looking for the boy with the bent legs, but I have never seen him again since that day.

Title: Boulder
Artist: Laurie Beth Gaines

Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Boulder

Boulder was found by a Good Samaritan. He was very skinny, and he was unaltered. After waiting through the stray hold to see if anyone came forward for him, we officially took Boulder into our care to get him healthy and into a home. He gained enough weight to be neutered, and he quickly turned into the healthy, grumpy-faced goofball that stole our hearts. Boulder spent some time in foster care to get used to living in a home, and he ultimately found his forever family.

Biscuit went into foster care while we had him on a stray hold, and after about a month of fostering him with no owners in sight, his foster adopted him and made him a part of their forever family.

Title: Stevie Small Ornament
Artist: Laurie Beth Gaines
Medium: Paper clay & paint
Dimensions: 2"
Animal Depicted: Stevie

Stevie was transferred to Stray Rescue from an area shelter due to head trauma resulting in secondary blindness. We knew this guy was still so deserving of life, so we were happy to have him. Being blind doesn't hold Stevie back! He is very intelligent and uses his other senses extremely well. He does require time to walk through new environments, queuing that is on his level (above noises confuse him), and proper introductions. He smells items/people first then appreciates the touch. We have used our voice first, then smell, then touch and he has been very successful and has gained a lot of confidence. He likes activity but generally mellow and is happy sitting right in your lap. He loves to play with squeaky toys. In his foster home he is potty trained and sleeps through the night. Stevie is an amazing dog and needs a home that will give him stability, proper exposure with his limitations, and love.

Medium: Paper clay & paint
Dimensions: 2"
Animal Depicted: Pluribus

Pluribus was found in December 2025 with an embedded collar. She was so scared and nervous when she first arrived at the shelter, so the clinic staff worked very carefully to remove the collar and make her comfortable. After spending some time in the clinic to heal, Pluribus went to a foster home to become more trusting of people and "learn how to dog". Pluribus still exhibits some feral tendencies, but she has come a long way! Pluribus will continue living with her foster family until the right person comes along.

Title: You Look Moovelous
Artist: Marian Hood
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 30" x 40"
Animal Depicted: Mister Moo Cow

Donna received a call about a large male stray roaming around St. Louis City. She went to pick him up, and she encountered the 70-pound Mister Moo Cow. This guy was such a gentle giant! He hadn't been taken care of very well - he had fleas, he tested positive for heartworm disease, he was dirty and covered in scars and potentially had some arthritis going on. However, he was so friendly and grateful to the staff who adored him right away. He spent a couple of weeks at the shelter and became a staff and volunteer favorite. Everyone loved his big head and his mellow, goofy demeanor. After about a month, Mister Moo Cow was adopted, and his dad is his PERFECT match. We are so happy that this guy can live out his golden years without a care in the world!

Title: A Million Grateful Kisses
Artist: Marian Hood
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 40" x 50"
Animal Depicted: Wallace

Officer Ottengheime and Officer Stevens received a call on the morning of Christmas Eve that a dog had been shot multiple times. They rushed to his aid and drove him directly to Stray Rescue for emergency veterinary care. Dr. Oliver met them at the clinic, sedated him, and gave him an initial assessment. Miraculously, no bones had been broken despite the gunshot wounds near his mouth and in his rear hip. He did have a broken tooth that needed to be removed, but the clinic would wait until he had some healing under his belt. Wallace loved his rescuers so much. When Officer Ottengheime and Officer Stevens would come to visit him, he would crawl into their laps and give them a million grateful kisses. He loved his clinic team, his caregivers, and all of his staff and volunteer friends. This boy was so thankful to be alive and finally in a safe place.

Wallace is still looking for his forever family. Despite a few trials, he hasn't found his place yet. That's not from a lack of love - everyone LOVES Wallace, but sometimes, dogs that endure so much trauma take extra time, patience, and fortitude to adjust properly to living in a home. We won't give up on this warrior boy. We know that his family is out there.

Title: Frog Dog
Artist: Haley Clancy Inyart
Medium: Colored pencil
Dimensions: 11" x 9"
Animal Depicted: Frog Dog


This dog was roaming and a bunch of calls came in. But AS USUAL, he was too smart for his own good and just would not go in our trap. First, we used our go-to, Vienna Sausages. He was able to get them all out without tripping the trap. That doesn't happen very often. THEN we went to Subway and grabbed some lunch meat. This time, he walked in the trap and (purposely?) strettttttched forward over the plate so he wouldn't trip it! What the? SO THEN!! We went to Lee's chicken and buried it under the bars of the trap. This time, he couldn't refuse the smell and had to work harder to get the pieces out - finally tripping it. We had him safe and sound after a LONG day of patience. In between food reloads (ha!) he sprawled out next to the trap, taunting us with a sploot - just as comfortable as could be without a care in the world. When we finally got this big block-headed boy, we named him Frog Dog! And he is so awesome. Just a big, handsome lazy lug ready to rock your world.

Title: Until They Are All Home
Artist: Robin Parry
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 24" x 36"
Animal Depicted: Jane & Goodall

So skinny it hurts.

Jane & Goodall came to us from a local animal control. We knew they needed us, so they were transported here and joined our family. Sadly, we see emaciated dogs all the time. So many neglected, abused, scarred pups come to us, but these two are considered severe cases.

When a dog comes in and they undergo an abuse exam, they are given a body score by the veterinarian. In this case, the white dog - Jane, is given a 1. That is the lowest score that can be given. Dr. Oliver said she's one of the most (if not THE most) emaciated dog she has ever seen. Her partner, Goodall, received a low score of 2.

And despite it all, with horrors behind them that would keep us up at night, they smile and wag their tails. They are barely strong enough to stand on their own and yet they are showing us extreme gratitude andââ'¬Â¦.joy.

We think Dr. Jane Goodall would be proud to have these two gorgeous girls as her namesake, because they have HOPE. They did not let their fear, broken hearts, or misery take over. They stay strong and stand tall, ready to give us all their love.

"Every single one of us makes an impact on this planet every single day and we get to choose what kind of difference we make. Hold on to hope, never give up, and remember: you matter."

Today, both Jane & Goodall are living their very best lives in their forever homes, and they will never go hungry again.

Title: Old Greg
Artist: Rachel Tomlinson
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 36" x 36"
Animal Depicted: Gregory

Gregory was rescued on a dangerously cold day in December. A kind woman found him and had been feeding him. Neighbors said they had seen him around for over a month! We had to help this skinny, lost, cold boy. We got him back to the shelter, warmed him up, and gave him plenty of nutritious food to eat! Gregory is still living at the shelter, patiently waiting for his forever family to find him.

Title: I'm Worth It!
Artist: Robert O'Neil
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 30" x 22"
Animal Depicted: Andre

Andre was found on the streets in rough shape, initially reported as a very pregnant dog who may have been hit by a car-but rescuers quickly realized he was actually a male with severe fluid buildup. At 113 pounds and clearly uncomfortable, he was safely trapped and brought in for urgent care. Once he realized he was safe, his whole demeanor changed, and his sweet, loving personality started to shine.

Veterinarians drained nearly four liters of fluid to give him relief while they worked to figure out what was wrong. Despite everything, Andre was affectionate, goofy, and full of love. Further testing showed that blood was building up around his heart, and he needed a major surgery-a pericardiectomy-to save his life. Even with the high cost, his team didn't hesitate. He was worth it.

Andre made it through the surgery and began recovering with lots of love and careful monitoring. While there were still risks, he grew stronger each day. Not long before, he had been suffering alone on the streets-but thanks to his rescue and the people who rallied behind him, Andre got the second chance he deserved.

In October, Andre found his forever family. They absolutely adore him, and he is spoiled in the best way possible.

Title: Rockin Robin
Artist: Marnie Claunch
Medium: Acrylic paint & resin
Dimensions: 11" x 14"
Animal Depicted: Rockin Robin

Rockin Robin was a tiny 5-pound puppy that desperately needed our help. She was dropped off in a box outside a rural Missouri shelter. She was passing blood, she wouldn't eat, and she was very weak. These were telltale signs of parvovirus, but the shelter didn't have the resources to care for her. She was rushed to us, and we immediately transferred her to an overnight emergency center to stabilize her. She came back to our clinic where she spent several days in our parvo ward. This tiny puppy had a BIG battle to fight.

Thankfully, she beat parvo and was a survivor! It would take her some time to regain all of the nutrients that she had been denied in her short life, but she got stronger every day. Heather, one of our amazing vet techs, took her home as a medical foster until she was ready for adoption. Rockin Robin quickly found her forever home, and she will never have to worry about being abandoned on the brink of death again.

Title: Daniel Boone
Artist: Deb Crine
Medium: Oil painting
Dimensions: 11" x 14"
Animal Depicted: Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone was found on a wet, cold day in November. He was so thin, had wounds on his legs, he was dirty, and he just needed some love and care. We brought him into Stray Rescue, and we nursed him back to health. After spending some time at the shelter, he went to a foster home and is still awaiting his forever family.

Daniel Boone is a sweet, gentle, snuggle bug. All he wants to do is crawl up next to his human and cuddle as long as possible. He does like to play, but he is such a soft spirit that he can be a little timid at first. He enjoys going on walks and meeting other similarly mannered dogs. This boy is going to make someone so happy one day.

Title: Rolex

Animal Depicted: Rolex

Rolex is 8 years old and like all of the other dogs in the shelter deserves a chance in a home, especially being a senior dog. Not convinced? Here's his Top Ten list from one of his best friends!

1. He is completely house broken and loves to go home with his volunteer friends for sleepovers.
2. He is non-destructive and does not resource guard. I can give him a toy and take it away anytime without incident. I can put his food or water down and move it around in his presence, and he is unphased.
3. If needed, he takes medication very easily.
4. He does not beg for food when I am eating in his presence.
5. He has excellent car manners. He typically stays in the back seat and is a joy to have as a passenger.
6. He is very easy to leash up at the shelter and in a home.
7. He has multiple dogs at the shelter that he goes with for paired walks. He has perfect manners around other dogs at the park. He typically minds his own business without any problems.
8. Rolex is not a huge fan of the extreme heat, and it is so easy to put a cooling vest on him. He also hates the extreme cold, and it takes little effort to put on a coat or sweater.
9. He tolerates a bath like a champ!
10. He loves people! When introduced correctly, he becomes an instant friend for life.

He is a wonderful dog, and his friends are enamored with him! Come meet Rolex today!

Title: Jackie Waitsââ'¬Â¦
Artist: Michelle Streiff
Medium: Oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
Dimensions: 20" x 16"
Animal Depicted: Jackie Frost

Jackie Frost was a good mom. She had her puppies in the back room of an abandoned house. It was a frigid, snowy day in St. Louis when we found mom and her puppies laying on old clothes in the back of the abandoned house. Mom was doing everything she could to keep her newly born puppies alive.

The house was full of someone's discarded items that we had to climb over to get to her. After a few low growls, just to let us know that she was a good mom, she let me leash her up and walk her out of the house.

She waited outside to make sure her puppies were close behind before we headed to the jeep with the family.

Mom was reunited with the puppies at the shelter and quickly went to foster. This family, once living in a filthy, abandoned house, has all found their loving forever homes.

Title: Twinkie
Artist: Tom Koerper
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 18" x 18"
Animal Depicted: Twinkie

Twinkie became one of far too many gunshot survivors to arrive at Stray Rescue of St. Louis. The sweet 2-year-old dog was found in Farmington, MO after being shot, lying beside another wounded dog who sadly did not survive. Even after everything, Twinkie never left her companion's side.

A Good Samaritan rushed her to the shelter for emergency care, where the medical team discovered the bullet had shattered her jaw and caused severe damage from her mouth to her esophagus. Because of the extent of her injuries, she needed a feeding tube, pain management, and immediate transport to a specialist for advanced imaging and treatment.

Twinkie later underwent surgery at Mizzou, where a veterinary dentist repaired her fractured jaw. During her eight-week recovery, she had to wear a muzzle constantly to keep everything in place while it healed. Eating was difficult, and she had to learn how to drink soup through the muzzle, but day by day she grew stronger.

Despite enduring such cruelty, Twinkie remained incredibly gentle and loving. Her resilience and sweet spirit inspired everyone caring for her as she fought her way toward recovery.

Title: Johnny & June
Artist: Josie Cammarata
Medium: Acrylic on wood canvas
Dimensions: 8" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Johnny & June

Johnny and June were brought to us in October by local Animal Control. They were found lying like heaps of bones, discarded like trash. Both around 10 years old, June weighed 41 pounds, and Johnny weighed 47 pounds. Animal Control worked with the police while we cared for these two senior souls. They came to us infested with fleas. They had no body fat, and Johnny was visually impaired. They had horrible teeth, bumps and lumps, and yet - the kindest hearts. It's always astounding to us when these dogs who have lived such terrible lives come to us so gentle and grateful. We gave them nutritious food, soft pets, and kind, healing words. They liked going on slow walks and just enjoying the moment with shelter and clinic caregivers. We were smitten with them.

June had some heart issues, and Johnny, who was partially blind, had tested positive for heartworms. With care, medications, and ongoing monitoring, Johnny and June were cleared from the clinic for medical foster homes. Both dogs loved their foster homes. They finally got the chance to be taken care of - they were fed nutritious food, they had beds, blankets, and toys, and they learned they could trust humans.

At the beginning of January 2026, June passed away peacefully in the love and comfort of her foster home. It was unexpected, but we all found peace knowing that she had a few months of knowing love, and she didn't die alone on the streets.

A few months later in May 2026, Johnny followed June across the rainbow bridge. He left this earth in dignity, comfort, and peace in the arms of his foster parents who loved him so deeply.

We fell hard for Johnny and June, despite only knowing them for less than a year. We are honored to have had the privilege of caring for them and giving the soft, supported end of life that they so fully deserved.

Title: 77 Pounds of Baby
Artist: Lauren Schlesselman
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 10" x 10"
Animal Depicted: Tonks

Tonks is an actual baby. He came to us with a very small wound on his paw. We see so many brave dogs and cats with the most horrific wounds. But this boy could really milk it - he just couldn't believe he had an injury. He refused to walk, so the clinic staff had to take him out in a stroller. When he would get back inside, he would climb in everyone' laps and just roll over for belly rubs. He never wanted to go back to his spot. He would just lay there, begging for nonstop petting. He was a 77-pound BABY, and we just adored him. Tonks eventually seemed to really like his spot in the clinic, but we knew he needed to be out in the shelter where he could make friends and hopefully find his forever home. He is THE BEST boy. He is well mannered, rides great in the car, and he knows basic commands. Our volunteers love taking Tonks out on adventures, and we just KNOW his forever family is going to find him soon!

Title: 3 Paws
Artist: Kathy Koerper
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 20" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Renee Marie Norwood

Renee Marie Norwood was severely injured and fought for her life after being found with both tetanus and a devastating leg injury. Tetanus, a rare condition in dogs caused by bacteria that attacks the nervous system, had left her with painful muscle contractions, a stiff jaw, pinned-back ears, and tight facial muscles. In addition to this, Renee was missing part of her leg-her paw was gone, and the remaining limb had been completely degloved, leaving the bone exposed in a wound that was weeks old. She had likely endured prolonged pain and fear before being rescued.

Veterinarians quickly diagnosed her condition and began treating the tetanus with antibiotics while managing her pain and carefully caring for her wound. Once she was stable enough, Renee underwent a full leg amputation. Despite the severity of her condition, her team remained hopeful that with prompt medical care, she had a chance to recover and finally live without suffering.

Renee Marie Norwood (now Stella) was quickly adopted and is living her very best life now with her forever family.

Title: The Last Window
Artist: Nathan Collier
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 14.5" x 17.5"
Animal Depicted: Shy Guy

Shy Guy came to Stray Rescue after someone shot him with an arrow that became deeply embedded in his shoulder. Thankfully, the arrow missed his vital organs, but he was in tremendous pain and was rushed to an emergency veterinary hospital for immediate surgery. The operation was successful, and while he faced a painful recovery, everyone was relieved he had survived such unimaginable cruelty.

Despite everything he had endured, Shy Guy's gentle spirit quickly began to shine through. He was frightened and had likely never walked on a leash before, so staff took things slowly as he healed. Covered in fleas and ticks when he arrived, he gradually learned to trust, started giving sweet face kisses, and even enjoyed gentle walks. With time, patience, and the support of his rescuers and donors, Shy Guy began his journey toward the safe, loving life he had always deserved.

Title: Drummy
Artist: Brandy Rustemeyer
Medium: Gouache
Dimensions: 16" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Drummy

On a bitter cold night, a KFC location near us called. "Someone abandoned a dog in our bathroom. Can you come get him?"

Donna headed out and found an emaciated, malnourished, shivering little baby in a box. She rushed him to our clinic where we named him Drummy. Thankfully, he didn't have Parvo, but he was starving. He was put on a strict feeding plan to avoid refeeding syndrome, which can be fatal. Basically, that means if you feed a malnourished dog too much too fast, their bodies can go into shock. He also got plenty of fluids and antibiotics. Even though he looked to only be about 7 weeks old, he was actually a 5 month old puppy. We promised him that we would get him healthy. His suffering was over. He was finally safe.

Today, you would never know Drummy had endured such a terrible situation. Today he is thriving in his forever home, ruling the roost, and loving the second chance at life that he has been given.

Title: Saving Grace
Artist: Brandy Rustemeyer
Medium: Gouache
Dimensions: 16" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Saving Grace

A call came in about a dog in dire need of help. A man was on his bike when he saw her. He told us she was laying by an alley, still breathing but barely alive. We immediately jumped in the rescue Jeep and got there as quickly as we possibly could. When we pulled up and saw her, we knew she had passed away. She was alone on the street when she died, not knowing that help was on the way. If only she could have been with us, if only we were a few moments quicker, she would have died with people by her side, comforting her.

She was emaciated but also had a huge swollen leg, so we guessed she probably had cancer. We scanned her for a microchip so we could alert a family if she had one, but there was no chip. We loaded her body into the Jeep so we could take her back to Stray Rescue and have her cremated - dignity in death. Out of the corner of our eye, we noticed something else about ten feet from where we were standing. When we walked over, we saw it was ANOTHER deceased dog. The first was a grey mastiff-type of pup, and this one was a small white fluffy dog. Another female with no microchip, no collar, no tag. We could tell she had been hit by a car.

As we drove back to the shelter in silence, with both bodies in the back, our hearts felt incredibly heavy. Then we saw a scene unraveling before us.

Two people were on the side of the road, coaxing a dog to them. We pulled over, told them we were from Stray Rescue, and asked if they needed help. "Oh my god, we were just about to call you!!" they exclaimed. They had successfully lured this pup off the busy street and were trying to get her to come to them. She had mange and was in bad shape. We put a leash on her, and her tail began wagging. These people were sooo nice, so full of gratitude, telling us how much they love dogs, how their poor neighborhood was destroyed during the tornado, and they see stray dogs all the time. They were in tears when we told them about the two in the Jeep, and that she would need to ride up front with us. The man ran to his truck and grabbed a paint tarp for us to put on our lap and thanked us for all we did.

We drove back to the shelter, but this time with a sweet soul on our laps, sticking her lil tongue out any time we stopped petting her, making us smile. We could tell she was in so much discomfort. Her feet swollen, her irritable red skin flaking off, and yet she clung to us - full of gratitude. We told her we were going to soothe her skin. Soon she would feel beautiful and good as new. We named her "Saving Grace."

Title: Fievel
Artist: Lila Penrod
Medium: Acrylic on stretched canvas
Dimensions: 14" x 18"
Animal Depicted: Fievel

Fievel is one of the coolest cats around! He is cuddly, silly, and he doesn't mind being held. He has a deep voice, so his meows are super cute and unique.

When he first arrived, he was having problems breathing and had a lot of nasal discharge. We could tell he wasn't comfortable, and his face was rubbing raw. He had to breathe through his mouth, and that isn't easy for a cat! With some excellent medical care, time, and compassion, Fievel has made a full recovery. He had a nasal polyp, and Dr. Oliver was able to remove it quickly and cleanly. After receiving some steroids and antibiotics, he was good to go to his foster home!

Fievel is still in foster awaiting his forever home. He loves to cuddle, make biscuits, and he wants to soak up every little bit of love you have to give!

Title: A Good Deed Is Its Own Award
Artist: Allison Perelman

Dimensions: 9" bracelet with 1" puppy charms; 2" brooch with 1.75" double portrait charm

Animals Depicted: Award, Prize, Pulitzer, People's Choice, Oscars, Nobel Peace, Michelin Star, Booker, Abel Prize, and Blue Ribbon+

One September day, we rescued TEN lives. Mom, her eight beautiful babies....and her best friend. We received a call from some workers who spotted puppies in the backyard of an abandoned house. They stayed and helped us search and rescue, so we made sure we had ALL of the babies (Pulitzer, People's Choice, Oscars, Nobel Peace, Michelin Star, Booker, Abel Prize, and Blue Ribbon). We only had one trap with us because we weren't expecting two adults. Mom (Award) and her best friend (Prize) were inseparable. We wouldn't leave her friend behind, so we had to transfer Mom to the Jeep so we could re-use the trap. We worried that if we drove away to get another trap, her friend would panic. The girls seemed to understand what we needed them to do. They were both very brave and went into the trap.

We saw right away that Prize would bury her head in Award's fur. She cuddled with her while she nursed her babies and even helped take care of the puppies. When separated, they shut down. We knew they were a bonded pair, and we were going to have to work really hard to find the perfect home for both of them. They loved each other so much, and they gained confidence with all of the new experiences they had together.

After putting out a few pleas, the most perfect family stepped forward and adopted BOTH Prize and Award! The babies had all found their forever homes, and we were so happy to be able to keep the girls together.

Title: Velvet Gaze
Artist: Beth Vickers
Medium: Pencil
Dimensions: 12" x 16"
Animal Depicted: Grey Velvet

When she was a puppy, someone cared enough to put a cute little floral collar on her. What happened?

We are so sorry for this adorable and petite 2-year-old we named Grey Velvet. Her puppy collar stayed on while she grew up. It cut into her skin, all the way around her throat, and there was no one to help her. No one took care of her. No one to keep her safe. She's about 2 years old and just a mere 35 pounds. We find dogs with embedded collars all the time. It's so heartbreaking because you know no one has even touched her. What a painful, lonely life. Well, Grey Velvet, you are safe now. Lonely no more. You'll never feel pain again.

We gave him a nice shave, and he had the BEST glow up! Now, Mopley Crue lives in Colorful Colorado living the life of adventure that he deserves!

Title: Bobble
Artist: Tracy Harris
Medium: Acrylic on skate deck
Dimensions: 31" x 8"
Animal Depicted: Bobble

In June 2025, we received a call of an emaciated dog walking alone, looking for food. The Good Samaritans that found him brought him into their workplace and waited until we arrived. He was SO skinny, and then we noticed his feet - covered in sores, open wounds, and exposed bone, most likely pressure sores from emaciation. We named him Bobble and took him to our clinic for medical care. We fell in love with him, and he quickly started gaining weight, and his wounds began to heal.

Bobble was adopted very quickly - who could resist him! But unfortunately for Bobble, he grew too big and strong for his new
family. Less than a year later, he found himself back in our care.

Not long after, a foster family took Bobble in and helped him find his forever family. He is the goofiest, beefiest, big-headed guy that LOVES everyone. He is so entertaining, and he recently discovered how much he loves playing in water. His forever family is obsessed with him (rightfully so!), and we love that he gets the happy ending he deserves.

Title: Hal
Artist: Rose Cunningham
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 11" x 14"
Animal Depicted: Hal

Hal arrived in our care in March 2026. With his red, itchy, bleeding skin and missing hair, he joined a long list of dogs who had been completely neglected. Despite his physical appearance, he was the sweetest, most gentle guy. He leaned in for pets and snuggles, and we promised him it was his lucky day. We gave him antibiotics, pain meds, and medicated baths. Before long he was ready for a foster home, and that's really where the magic happened!

Hal blossomed into his true self while in his foster home. His furry foster sister taught him what toys were and how to play. His foster humans taught him what trust was and how to feel comfortable in their home. He is a smart, easy going dog with so much love to give. And the best part? His fur is beautiful, and he LOVES getting all of the pets and scratches. Hal, you will find your forever home soon, and you will live the BEST life that you so badly deserve!

Status: Adopted. Hal's foster family fell in love with him, and they decided he had become a part of their family. They officially adopted Hal in July 2026.

Animal Depicted: Chimpi

Chimpi was just a year old when he was found chained to an abandoned house, lying quietly on a blanket with no food or water anywhere nearby. He was painfully skinny, his gums were pale, and it was clear he had been neglected for far too long. He stayed low to the ground and wagged his tail softly, letting us know that he meant no harm. It took us less than a minute to fall in love with him, and we promised him he would never have to be lonely again. He went to our clinic, so the veterinary team could assess him and his needs, and he soon went to a foster home where he could relax and make a full recovery. Chimpi quickly found his forever family, and we couldn't be happier for him.

Title: Purdue Pete - At Home
Artist: Chris Wingrove
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 16" x 20"
Animal Depicted: Purdue Pete

Purdue Pete came to us a medical mess. He was staying at an abandoned house all by himself. A worker saw him, gave him his lunch, and called us. When we arrived and saw those eyebrows looking up at us, we were smitten. We knew he needed help.

He was defeated, but he let us take him with us. We got to Stray Rescue, and he went right to the clinic where we saw that he was not only super skinny, but he had a large abscess on the side of his face that needed to be drained. On top of being anemic, his bloodwork was terrible - his kidney values were not good, he had low electrolytes. and he was very dehydrated. He was struggling to use his rear legs, but after taking x-rays, we realized it was from exhaustion and malnutrition. He had lived a hard life on the streets, but he was in the right place now, and we promised to get him all fixed up.

Purdue Pete did require an emergency blood transfusion from his shelter buddy and hero blood donor, Elmers. Thanks to Elmers' generosity, Purdue Pete bounced back almost immediately. We could tell he felt SO MUCH better. He was still weak in his back legs and needed to gain weight, but he had enough energy to go for short walks with his clinic friends and even go to the play yard.

As soon as he was able to leave the clinic, he went to a medical foster home, and they decided to adopt him. Purdue Pete - the good life is yours now! You will never know suffering again.

Title: Sweet Miss Elsie
Artist: Kathy Morrison
Medium: Watercolor
Dimensions: 19" x 23"
Animal Depicted: Miss Elsie

In April 2026, this 'ol girl came in so sick and weak. She was completely blind, wouldn't eat and could barely walk. Her x-rays showed she had an obstruction, so we scheduled an emergency surgery here at our shelter. Inside her belly was a whole bunch of rodent bones! Poor girl hadn't had a decent meal in who knows how long!

She did much better than we expected during her surgery (collective sigh of relief) and showed major improvement afterward. She was so happy and full of life!

Once she began healing and blossoming, we realized that she did not let her visual impairments stop her from anything! She was amazing at navigating life and was easily guided by your voice. She loved everyone - men, women, and kids, and had the sweetest, goofiest personality. It was no surprise to us that Miss Elsie quickly found a forever home, and we absolutely love getting updates on her new life full of nothing but love and goodness.

Soldier's Art

20" x 10" canvas

This piece was created with love and laughter by Soldier and his friends.

Solder is a longtime shelter resident whose journey has taught us that not every dog fits neatly into the traditional shelter mold. He needs a great deal of structure, patience, and understanding, and for now, Stray Rescue is his sanctuary. We will never stop believing in him or searching for the family who might be the right fit. Until then, Soldier will have people in his corner.

Veto's Art

10" x 8" canvas

This piece was created with love and laughter by Veto and his friends.

Veto has been with us at Stray Rescue since April 2025. This guy is BEGGING to find his forever home, and we know that it's out there! He is the total package: sweet, smart, and ready to love! This handsome boy has all the adorable charm of a puppy, without the headaches that usually come with one. No chewed-up shoes here-Veto has great house manners and isn't one to get into trouble.

Veto is potty and crate trained, and he settles in well when it's time to relax. Like many other stray dogs, Veto can be a little protective over his food, so he must be crated during mealtimes for his safety and for the safety of furry and human family members. He is his best self with clear boundaries and a consistent routine.

Veto is dog-friendly, and he has so many friends here at the shelter. If you are looking for a well-mannered, lovable dog who is past the puppy chaos but still full of playful energy and affection, Veto might just be your perfect match!
