Story
Meet Picadilly, a 5 year old 10 pound Chihuahua Pug mix.  Picadilly is full of life and loves life and all that goes with it.  She’s a happy fun curious little girl.  She’s very loveable and she loves to nuzzle her head under your chin. Picadilly gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and sees the cat as just another dog.   She gets the zoomies about once a day and after that you will find her sleeping calmly in her dog bed.  After a long day, she enjoys relaxing next to you or on your lap on the couch. Picadilly does tend to be a barker, especially if she sees a squirrel outside the window or in the yard, so she would probably not be good for apartment living.  She would also be best in a home with older children who will respect her boundaries.  She’s mostly potty trained if she’s taken out often.  She sleeps in the kitchen at night with her foster siblings, but I’m sure she’d rather be in bed with you. She loves her toys and her treats.  She does tend to get a little cranky if she thinks another dog might be wanting her food.  After all she lived in a home with 2 large dogs and 3 other small dogs, so I’m sure they had a little challenge all getting enough to eat.  She’s just waiting for her home and could that be you. 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. Picadilly’s adoption fee is $295.00, 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.

Story
Biscuit was surrendered to animal control after his owner was incarcerated. He is a small dog and on the alpha side. He does ok with other dogs that are female or submissive netuered males. He has alot of energy and loves to tell you if something is bothering him haha. He does have an old injury as he was hit by a car last year and his prior owner took him to the vet but refused to have his leg set/surgery done. It does not affect his ability to be himself nor does it cause him any pain, however he may get arthritis when he is older because of the injury. We feel he would do best in a home with older kiddos over 10 years and adults. He is unsure about cats but does tolerate them well.  ##2428829##

Story
Tapi is a sweet older gent around 8 years of age. He is ok with other dogs and unsure about cats. He would do best in a quiet home and we don't think he would do super with little kiddos so teenagers and up should be ok. He is very mild mannered and likes to do his own thing, but does also love attention. He just had a dental and lost most of his teeth, but does still have his molars so still eats hard food just fine. ##1384124##

Story
Little Tito was found wandering outside of a very small town in Northern Illinois during a very cold spell this winter. He was wearing a leash and collar but no one came forward to claim him and the men who found him asked all over and no one had ever seen him before! He was cold and tired and hungry and grouchy (I would have been too!). He is a little guy at just 7 lbs but he has the big personality to make up for his size. He is very shy of strangers. Once he trusts you (usually around 24 hrs time) he will be your forever buddy and shadow. He loves to be held and carried and give kisses. WE do not suggest him in a home with small kids as he will nip if he is scared/startled. He is good with other dogs his size but does prefer others to be subordinate to him or female. He is unsure about cats.  ##2336168##

Loves loves loves it. If there were medals for playtime enthusiasm, she’d be on the podium. Is she shy when first meeting new people? For about a New York second (not even the whole minute).

She’s gentle, loving, and finally ready to be someone’s forever best girl. If you’re looking for a dog who can steal your heart, your couch, and possibly your camera roll in under 60 seconds… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Sadie is ready to strut her way into her forever home. 🐾💖
