From the moment Parker walked through our doors, he hasn’t stopped smiling, wiggling his butt or being a very good boy.

He’s a true mixed breed, a terrier of sorts.
He’s medium sized and dog friendly .

He looks like he wasn’t given much attention in his previous life, his fur is strained and he was dirty and unkempt.

We hope his next family will appreciate the wonderful boy that he is and treat him accordingly.

You can’t help but love him!

With the increasing possibility of a winter weather event in the next couple of days, and with the expected very low temperatures, SPD wishes to remind the public of the importance of keeping your fur babies safe.

SPD will be out looking for neglected animals and violators will be dealt with accordingly.

As always, in the event of a severe weather event we will keep the community updated on road closures and safety hazards.

❄️ COLD WEATHER IS COMING — PLEASE BRING PETS INSIDE ❄️

As temperatures drop across Missouri, outdoor animals are at serious risk. Freezing weather can become deadly in minutes — especially for dogs who are chained, elderly, small, sick, or exposed to wind and moisture.

At Mac’s Mission, we specialize in special — and every winter we see the heartbreaking results when animals are left outside with no protection.

🐾 Winter Safety Tips for Pets:
• Bring pets indoors whenever temperatures fall below 40°F
• Never rely on dog houses or straw alone — they are NOT enough
• Provide fresh, unfrozen water at all times
• Increase food intake for animals burning extra calories to stay warm
• Check paws for ice, salt, and cracking
• Watch for signs of hypothermia: shivering, lethargy, weakness
If you’re cold — they’re cold.

🚨 To report animal neglect in Missouri:
📞 Missouri Animal Cruelty Hotline: 314-647-4400
Please don’t look away. Be their voice when they don’t have one.

❤️ Mac’s Mission specializes in SPECIAL — and winter is when they need us most.

Narwhal - all dogs deserve to be on a warm couch inside
