Our Foster Experience
@ourfosterexp.bsky.social
We're a foster family for CARE in St. Louis that shares our adventures as we take in dogs in search of loving forever families.
If you've followed Jonathan's journey, you know it's been a true emotional rollercoaster. From the uncertainty of the shelter, to settling in with us, finding a family, & then the heartbreaking setback of being returned. We’ve had a lot of ups & downs with this boy, but every moment was worth it.

The kennels at CARE STL are shutting down for repairs and they NEED to get every dog out ASAP.

They can’t do this without your help!! Please share to spread the word.

Friday & yesterday were a mix of emotions. On Friday we got the call from CARE that sweet Jonathan needed a foster home again. Of course, we couldn't say no! We instantly opened our doors & our hearts to this wonderful boy for another few weeks as we continue the search for his forever family.

Turns out, the current pooch at Jonathan's adoptive home wasn't quite ready to have a new live-in canine friend. So, when Jonathan's return to CARE coincided perfectly with our plan to pick up a new foster today; we figured, why introduce a new face when an old friend is ready for round two?

We're so excited that Bees Knees found his forever family today! It was a perfect match. So Bees Knees is off for adventure with his new amazing family. We couldn't be happier. Thank you to everyone who supported Bees Knees on his foster journey.

What breed is our foster dog Bees Knees?
No matter what the mix, we can all agree that Bees Knees is 100% lovable!
We're still taking applications for this one-of-a-kind companion. If you're ready to add some goofy love to your life, Bees Knees is adoptable at www.icarestl.org.

CARE STL is overflowing with so much love, but some of their dogs are really struggling with shelter life. It’s hard for them to show their amazing personalities when they're cooped up all day.
Just take a look at these sweet faces and please consider fostering or adopting one of these cuties.

With these St. Louis temps about to skyrocket, who better to offer some sage (and slightly slobbery) advice than our foster pup, Bees Knees?!

We're re-sharing this gem to remind you all how to beat the heat, according to a very good boy. Stay cool out there!

Ever wonder what happens when a dog gains superpowers? At CARE STL, they're finding out! They've got a league of extraordinary canines, each with a hilarious and heartwarming ability. They may not save the world, but they'll definitely save your heart!

Looking for a smart, playful, & loving companion? Meet Bees Knees, a stunning 2-year-old brindle ready to find his forever home!

House-broken & crate-trained, with his moderate energy level, he's up for a game of fetch or a nice walk, but also happy to cuddle up for some downtime. www.icarestl.org

CARE is over capacity & running out of places to put animals. If you've ever considered adopting or fostering (even for a weekend) now would be a great time to stop by the shelter and get paired up with a new furry friend (or 2).
You can find more information about CARE online at www.icarestl.org.

For a limited time, snag your new best friend for just $25! That's less than your weekly coffee habit (and way more cuddly). Come by 2700 Walnut Place and meet your match today!

You can also visit www.icarestl.org/adopt-a-dog to view available dogs online.
