Dirk’s Fund Shelter

When the founder and his wife first began rescuing dogs in the 1980s, our tale officially begins. Animal control alerted Sadie and Hannah about a Golden Retriever that was going to be put down due to the popularity of their own Golden Retrievers, Sadie and Hannah. Jenny was her name.

In the state of Missouri, The St. Louis Senior Dog Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are an all-volunteer group that saves dogs of all ages, but we focus primarily on dogs over the age of five.

To devoted dog owners, we extend our hands and our best wishes. We make sure our devoted friends receive the secure and devoted homes they deserve by compassionately fostering during temporary obstacles and thoughtfully adopting the orphaned pet.

Open Door Animal Sanctuary's goal is to give abandoned cats and dogs the best possible quality of life and a second opportunity at finding a forever home.

With tax ID 43-1244655, FCHS is a privately owned 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to helping local dogs and cats that are stray, abandoned, or misplaced. We became a corporation in 1981 and ran a foster network for stray animals for 13 years. We established our current shelter in Union, Missouri, in 1994.

We are committed to providing senior dogs and cats who are homeless or ill with a loving home and work to make the rest of their lives the best possible.
