Meet Chloe (pink collar in photos), a sweet and resilient pup who's ready to find her forever home. Chloe and her companion Phoebe were found just minutes apart in the same area, both very skinny and dirty. While they were likely traveling together, they don’t seem to be deeply bonded. They get along well with each other and enjoy interacting with other dogs, but they are independent and adjusting to their new life in foster care in St. Louis after being found over 50 minutes away from their original sighting.
Chloe was first seen over a week ago, and despite being posted, no one came forward to claim her. At her initial vet visit on March 18th, Chloe weighed only 26.2 lbs. Her vet estimates she’s about 5 years old. She’s now up to date on her vaccinations, tested heartworm negative, and had already been spayed.
Though we don’t know exactly what happened to Chloe, her lips were red and raw when she was found, possibly from trying to root her way out of something. Despite everything she’s been through, Chloe remains incredibly sweet and affectionate. She’s been around kids from toddlers to teenagers and has done great with them. She also loves the outdoors—Chloe, along with Phoebe, is one of those dogs who loves to sit outside, watch the yard, and enjoy the fresh air as if she’s scouting the area. Or maybe getting into unexpected places... she was even spotted snoozing on top of the fridge!
While Chloe is a wonderful, loving dog, we’re unsure how she would do with cats. She has met a cat at the vet and seemed fine, so with the right introduction, she may do well in a home with one. Chloe is looking for a home where she can get plenty of outdoor time, feel safe, and be surrounded by people who will love and appreciate her unique personality.
Could you be the one to give Chloe a loving home? And if you’re up for it, why not consider adopting both Chloe and Phoebe? It would be amazing for them to continue running and playing together in a new yard, where they can both feel loved and cared for.
