Say hello to our newest houseguest, the sweet and soulful Grandma Ruth. We picked this golden girl up from the shelter yesterday, and she’s already making herself right at home.

Tell us honestly; today are you "Friday happy?" Or, are you Pierogi sprinting through the garden on a sunny day kind of happy? Wishing everyone a weekend full of zoomies and sunshine! Pierogi is adoptable through www.icarestl.org

Happy Sunday! ☀️ Pierogi here. I’m "helping" in the garden today by sniffing leaves and guarding my ball. Hope you're enjoying this weather! Want a permanent garden buddy? I’m adoptable at icarestl.org! Adoption fees are only $30 through May 17, thanks to @BISSELLPetFoundation.

Proof that behind every "perfect" foster dog photo is a camera roll full of questionable angles and absolute chaos. Sorry, Pierogi, but the people deserve to see the real you. The beautiful, goofy, sometimes uncoordinated "meatball" version. 🤣 Can any of you relate? Adoptable at www.icarestl.org

Local sources report that the Easter Bunny called in sick this morning. Too many carrots? Hairball? Who knows. Luckily, the temp agency sent their most qualified, and definitely most "meatball like" replacement. Pierogi is adoptable through www.icarestl.org.

"Being a foster dog is SO. HARD. 😩 It's just exhausting work, y'all. I'm SO tired from all the playing, cuddling, and having to eat all the treats that I just had to take a nap on my foster parent to recover. Someone’s gotta do it!" - Pierogi

Pierogi is on a mission to soak up every single ray of sunshine while he can, because we've heard whispers of a wet and rainy week ahead here in St. Louis.

Here's Pierogi with his signature, irresistible smile & perfect little head tilt to brighten your day. He’s ready to jumpstart the weekend with loads of positive vibes. We couldn't imagine a better way to kick off the weekend! Wishing everyone a fantastic Friday! He's adoptable: www.icarestl.org.

Everyone, meet Pierogi! 🥟 We usually prefer the older pups, but today none were available. So, after some serious deliberation & great guidance from the staff, we decided to take a chance on this short, stocky 2 year old for the week. We're so excited to see more of his personality shine through.

Mondays can usually feel a bit "icky," but we have news that will start your week off right. Mi Amor had a meet and greet yesterday, and It went so well that she was officially adopted, and went straight home with her forever family right on the spot. How’s that for a Monday morning pick-me-up?

Wynona has officially entered her "Influencer Era," but her first project is... questionable. She managed to snag one of our phones over the weekend and used it to film this "public service announcement" about her foster sister, Mi Amor. Mi Amor and Wynona are both adoptable at www.icarestl.org.
000
Our Foster Experience @ourfosterexp.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Wynona is back! Her "forever home" wasn't the right fit, and we couldn't let her go anywhere but home to us. We’re breaking our "one foster" rule to keep her alongside Mi Amor, who is still recovering from pneumonia. Our house is tiny and the chaos is real, but our hearts are full.

"Sunshine on my back and wind in my... well, one of my ears." - Mi Amor Although our current foster, Mi Amor is limited to short walks as she recovers from pneumonia, she really enjoys her time outdoors. Just look at that smile! Mi Amor is adoptable at www.icarestl.org.

Big news! 🐾 Wynona loved meeting everyone at today's adoption event. She met a wonderful lady and is heading off on a "foster-to-adopt" trial to see if she fits in with her new cat siblings! We're sad to see her go, but so hopeful she’s found her forever home. Good luck, Wynona!

BIG NEWS: Nitro Nelly is officially ADOPTED! We received this photo from Nitro Nelly's most recent foster today. Our hearts are full seeing this happy boy find his forever home. Just being part of his journey was a gift, & we’re so proud of the dog he’s become. Happy tails, bud! You earned it!

Nitro Nelly conquered the St. Louis Blues game! He was the ultimate social butterfly, unfazed by loud goal horns or Zambonis. This gentle soul loved making four-legged friends and snuggling tiny fans. Ready to scout a new MVP? Nitro Nelly is adoptable through CARE STL! 💙🐾 #stlblues #carestl

Night one with Wynona is a success! 🐾 She needs a little "tasty motivation" to hop in her crate, but she was a total dream and stayed quiet (and clean!) all night. Seeing that sweet face this morning was the best. Foster life looks good on you, Wynona!

🚨 ADOPT NITRO NELLY 🚨 I’m a dignified gent being forced to wear a tiny, "hat" because it’s freezing. It’s a fashion crime! I need a forever home that respects my style and has no cameras (or cats). Apply to foster or adopt me at www.icarestl.org before my foster parents find the matching booties.

Meet Nitro Nelly, our newest foster! Don’t let the "Nitro" fool you. If this beefy boy can get along with our kitties, he's going to be on strictly enforced "couch potato" mode with us while he undergoes heartworm treatment.

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.

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.

Our Foster Experience @ourfosterexp.bsky.social · 15/11/2025
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?

The sheer audacity! 😂 Our sweet foster boy Bees Knees was primed for this tennis ball, but then "Phillies Karen" swooped in for the catch. Bees Knees, ever the role model, just gave her a polite side-eye. What a legend! Who needs a ball when you're this effortless! Visit www.icarestl.org to adopt.

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.
