ADOPTION POLICY: What Makes Us Different?
We are different from other shelters because we bring the dog/s, you are interested in, to your house for a meet and greet. It can be a more accurate picture of the environment with your family and pets who are all involved. We find that this helps with a more successful adoption. This does limit us to a 50 mile radius from St. Anthony, but exceptions can be made in special circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
Rowdy
Rowdy is a fun-loving German Shepard/Lab mix. He is just three years old. He is up to date on all his shots, microchipped and neutered. He loves to play and is very dog AND people social. He would love to have another dog to play with. He is smart, knows sit, down, crawl, stay, kennel, come. He rides will in a car and does well on leash. Rowdy would do well on a farm (or a large, fenced yard) doing a job, or a good hiking or camping partner. Rowdy would make a great family dog. He would enjoy all the company and playtime. Meet and greets are always required. Please call for an appointment to see Rowdy for yourself. Adoption fee $150.00.
Bacon
Bacon is a five and a half year old Shepard mix. He is neutered and current on his vaccines. Bacon came to LOM from another shelter and has blossomed. He is dog social and learning people. I don't recommend him with cats. He is easy going. He is learning sit, stay, down, come, kennel, leave it, and wait. He loves walks. Duh, he's a dog (lol) and walks well on leash. Also does well in the car. 98% sure he is house trained. I think Bacon would do very well with respectful kids. He is smart and ready to learn and enjoy your day with you. Meet and greet are always required. Call for an appointment to visit Bacon. Adoption Price $130.00
Dudley, Cocker Spaniel
Dudley is a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel. He is neutered, and current on all vaccines. He is very social with people dogs AND cats. He is happy, good on leash, wants to play and be included. He rides well in a car and good on leash. Because of age and weight, he loves short walks several times a day to get some sunshine and fresh air. He is a snuggler and is craving for your attention. Well minding, respectful kids are best for ANY dog! Call to set an appointment to meet Dudley. Meet and greets are always required. Adoption fee: $150.00
Kia
Don't forget about Kia. She has been here for a couple of months and has learned to settle down more being around other dogs. Even if she is the only dog in your family, but she will not let you down in the snuggle department. She loves walks, car rides and just hanging out. Previous years have taught her to be assertive with some dogs, cats and chickens. She does seem to like puppies. She does play with some of the other dogs here at the LOM. She is also spayed and vaccinated. Please give her a chance. She deserves it. Meet and greets are always required. Adoption Price is $100.00
Dottie
Meet my sweet Dottie. She is an eight-year-old Hound. She is spayed and vaccinated and ready for a loving forever home. She is an older gal who loves to be with you while you do your chores, sit on the porch or watch tv. She is hard of hearing but still loves going for slow walks where she can sniff and explore what her nose finds. She is dog social but does not like cats or other small animals. Though not a puppy, she is friendly, happy, sweet and past puppy chewing and house training. Meet and greets are always required. Call to visit Dottie. Adoption Price is $100.00
Birdie
Birdie is an eight-year-old Hound mix. She is a sweet, loving dog who loves your attention and, oh yea, belly rubs. She loves to be outside and experience all that comes her way. She will let you know who is coming down your driveway. She is a very good watch dog. She will also quiet down and nap in the shade. Being eight, she is settled, house trained, does not chew on furniture or clothes. :) She loves to go for walks and walk where her nose takes her. Meet and greets are always required. Call for an appointment to visit Birdie. Adoption Price is $100.00

In remembrance of my brother robert N. swank
When I told him of my crazy idea of a dog rescue, he patted me on the leg and said, "They are God's creatures too". People had scoffed at my dream but not my brother. He was always there to add an encouraging word and kept the spark that was in my heart to follow through with this idea, this goofy idea.
Through texts and phone calls, I kept him updated on the progress of my "barn". Nothing but encouraging words came back on my phone. I wanted him to come up to see it but that never happened. That made me very sad because he would never see the completed "barn". Walking to the "barn" for another day, I realized that he sees it from Heaven. He is still there to give me support and I can even hear his goofy jokes and laughter at all of our mishaps.
I miss him so very much and think of him every day!
I love you Bob
