Received the following post. Can anyone in the St Louis area offer any help? Thanks.

His owner is very sick with cancer and cannot take care of him anymore. Last week the paramedics were unable to get to her because of Rebel, he is extremely protective/possessive of his house and especially of his owner. Rebel is the subject of an on-going argument with my family. Everyone wants my aunt to get rid of him because he is mean and no one can come around her house. The other night when the paramedics were unable to get to her was the end of my family's patience with Rebel, my family is making us get rid of him. They all want us to put him down/asleep. I can't justify doing that, he is perfectly healthy and I'm afraid of what that may do to my aunt's "spirits" - she loves that dog and it is going to break her heart. I need to find somewhere to go with him, my aunt is in no condition to handle the stress of my family constantly arguing/bickering over Rebel. She needs to be spending her last days in peace and enjoying herself, not fighting with her family. I was hoping there was a shelter or something that I could take him to - possibly one especially for mean dogs, or ex-fighting dogs, etc. Please let me know if there is anywhere you can suggest for me to try....I live in St. Louis, MO but I am willing to travel in order to find Rebel a good home.
