My fiance and I were lucky enough to find the perfect little rescue puppy, and surprisingly we…read morefound him through St. Louis Senior Dog Project. While they mostly take in older dogs, they are perfectly happy to rescue pups from shelters if it means saving their lives. They have their dogs on show every Saturday at the Kirkwood Petco at Lindbergh and Big Bend near I-44. The dogs they rescue are fostered by volunteers with the rescue group, which means that they are kept in a family situation, are usually house trained and more. These dogs are special, and the good people who work with the shelter do their best to correct any problems the dogs may have. We adopted Bailey on March 8, 2008 and we couldn't be more happy. Bailey was three months old at the time and had kennel cough. St. Louis Senior Dog Project were happy to get refills of his medicine at their expense when the cough needed an extra round of antibiotics to be cured. The shelter also set up and paid for his alteration, going so far as to meet me at the hospital on the morning of the surgery, and were happy to answer any questions that came up. If you are looking for a good dog that will be ready to come into your home, you should really think about checking out these guys. You'll find a wonderful addition to your family and you'll feel good about working with wonderful people. Thanks guys!

STLSDP, is a foster-based program, endowed with compassionate volunteers, who provide medical, physical and emotional care before their rescues are placed into their forever homes, It is often the last hope for these older animals. I applaud their diligence in the adoption process as well, as it ensures the most successful placement for every animal.. Adopting several senior dogs through STLSDP has been extremely rewarding. Every dog we have adopted has brought immense joy and love into our family. These older animals desperately need a safe and loving home to finish out their remaining years. Please adopt an older pet and thank you to STLSDP for providing these loving animals with the consistent and compassionate care they so richly deserve.

Don't listen to the negative reviews- give them a chance, I'm glad we did…read more We are a military family living in Illinois and we heard of this rescue from a friend at work who is involved in rescue. Just today, we adopted a Great Pyrenees and one of Bob's own dogs, a Bernese. The Bernese was in his van when we went for our second meet and greet visit with our own dogs- it was serendipitous as we had just lost our Berner 2 months ago. He gave us one of his own dogs purely for the benefit and happiness of that dog! We learned Bob has quite a few dogs of his own and the Bernese just was an odd man out. Pretty selfless I'd say. Let me also add, the dog will be happy with us, but definitely is missing and looking for Bob today. Bob drove the dogs the hour out to our house personally. I think that is awesome and says a lot. Anyway, we were SO IMPRESSED with this place, we plan on driving the 45 minutes once a month to help Bob and his crew out in any manner they need. I am frankly annoyed and shocked by the poor reviews and especially those targeting Bob- who in my opinion is about as real a person as you will ever meet. You need a fence if you are going to have a dog. That is a fact- I'm horrified living in this area at the number of people who just let their (usually little) dogs out unfenced. Use your imagination and you can see any number of scenarios that this could end badly. It's in the best interest of a dog to have a secure area to romp- WHY wouldn't you want your family member to have this? Also, ANYONE who has a rescue or works in rescue on behalf of animals has a heart of pure GOLD- period. We learned he has dedicated 30 years to this rescue and the animals. Is he gruff, yes- so what? Is he obviously wonderful and doing a great thing? Very, very much so. If you are considering adopting, do it for the dogs. This is a GREAT organization and we met many great volunteers in just two days visiting. Don't let the negative reviews sway you. Bring your big girl and boy pants and just walk in like you're already one of the crew. There are several wonderful dogs there and Dirk's Fund ONLY has the dog's interest at heart- NOT the humans. Which is as it should be.

I was pleased to hear, that they specialize in single cremations. I was also pleased to hear that they do the ceramic paw print.

When I picked up his remains, his box and paw print were each presented in separate tulle gift bags. Their presentation, made a sad occasion easier to deal with.
