PET PARENT RESOURCE CENTER

In the month of February, Treats Unleashed is sharing the love between 20 groups throughout our St. Louis, Columbia and Kansas City communities with our Round Up for Rescue program! You can make a big difference for all of these groups with the help of our Round Up for Rescue program. Learn a little bit about each group:

Love A Golden - As their name suggests, this St. Louis based rescue focuses on Golden Retrievers who have been surrendered, stray, in a shelter, or otherwise out of options and place them in their forever home. They are an all volunteer, foster based group who share a deep passion for Goldens, especially senior and special needs pups.

The Feral Companion - This St. Louis foster based group looks to help feral, shy, and special needs dogs who may initially be overlooked. If these pups take a long time to rehabilitate, they may not get the time and attention needed at a busy shelter. The Feral Companion seeks these pets out, and their foster homes can provide them that time and attention to prepare them for a loving forever home.
