Story
Rusty Wallace is a 4 year old dauchshund mix.   Rusty is house trained, cat and dog friendly, and enjoys human companions of all ages.  If in a home with children, they need to be older children that understand Rusty's needs noted below.   He loves car rides. He sleeps in bed with his human but will also sleep in a kennel. He loves to burrow so blankets are a must!   Rusty came back into rescue severally overweight.  You can see that in his before and after photo in his bio. He worked hard and is now back to a healthy weight and just needs to maintain.    Rusty requires a home with no steps or minimal steps. He is currently in a home that has mostly single steps and where there are two steps, he has a ramp. He had to have spinal surgery so limited steps are a must. Steps are also needed for him to get on and off the couch and bed.    Rusty has seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy.  He is taking meds three times a day to prevent them. The meds do cause him to be extremely needy. He is very vocal until his needs are met.    Rusty would not be a good fit for an apartment.   He is good with dogs his size or smaller.  He can't be with a bigger dog that is playful or has a lot of energy. f 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. Rusty Wallace’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
Lola Belle was surrendered as the family that had her just didn't have the time for her. She is very undersocialized and will do best in a quiet home. She is very young and has her whole life ahead of her. She just wants to be someones forever baby! Good with other dogs, ok with the cats (will bark at them), and lived with kiddos, however I am not sure she was liking that. ##2743267##

Story
Jolene is a very nice little girl that came from a home where there were multiple dogs that were not getting the proper care. She has been to the vet and gotten spayed, microchipped, Heartworm tested (negative), a rabies shot and has had 2 of her 3 parvo/distemper shots. The world has not been kind to this precious baby so she is VERY shy and afraid when she meets new people. Given time to realize no one will ever hurt her again, I am confident that she will become a very loving, loyal baby who just wants to snuggle and be loved. Because she is so skittish and a huge flight risk, she will only be adopted to a home with a fenced yard and no children. She has done well with me in her run and we continue to build trust. She weighs 17 lbs at this point and is still probably a pound or two under weight. She is believed to have been born around May 26, 2023. She has done well with other dogs so far. She has not been tested with cats. Her adoption fee is $350 and she is ready to find her forever person or family. If interested in adopting her, please go to your search engine and type in pawspaw.org. Do not try to click on the link in Petfinder as folks tell me it does not get them to our website. If approved, you will be notified within 72 hours and we can set up a time for you to meet her. Thanks so much for your interest!
