My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** REQUIRES AT LEAST 4 FT FENCE **  NO OTHER FEMALE DOG S in Home**

Sparkles is ready for a better life. She is 4 yrs old and 41 lbs.

----When Sparkles came to rescue, she was found tied to a tree at an abandoned house. She was in the sun with no shelter, so her head was sunburned. She has recovered from all medical issues and is ready for a loving family that will treat her like she deserves.-----

In spite of her past, Sparkles is always happy and loving. She soaks up attention like a sponge. Her personality is always happy and everyone feels better just being around her.

Sparkles does not want another female dog in the house, but can get along with male dogs.

Sparkles loves people so she will need at least a secure 4 ft fence to keep her from being too social. 

If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.

Sparkles’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

More about this rescue

Needy Paws Rescue, located in St. Louis, MO, is devoted to saving animals in need, whose lives are in danger at high kill animal shelters & animal controls, those who are strays, have been abandoned or whose family has faced an extreme emergency, regardless of their size or breed.

Our organization is made up of Volunteers who have been involved in various animal rescues in the St. Louis area and we plan to use our knowledge & experience to make a difference. We believe spaying & neutering is a very important step in keeping pets healthy & happy, plus it helps decrease overpopulation. All of our rescued animals will be spayed or neutered, they will be microchipped to ensure they are identifiable if lost or stolen and they will be current on all of their vaccinations before going to their Forever Homes.

We are foster-based and all pets stay in approved Foster Homes that have passed inspections, reference checks and are qualified to take care of our rescued animals while they wait for their Forever Family. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will be making home visits and conducting veterinarian checks & reference checks to ensure the pets will have a safe, loving, happy home. Forever Families will be taught how to care for their pet and learn how to get the most out of their relationship with their new family member. We also have an after-care specialist who will be in contact with the families after the adoption to see how well they're doing together
