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
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!

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hi! I'm Boots! I'm a 10-month-old Dachshund/Jack Russell mix weighing about 22 pounds, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I LOVE everybody. People? Love them. Dogs? Love them too. New friends? Sign me up! I'm the kind of guy who thinks every stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet. My tail is always wagging, and I'm always ready to make a new buddy. I'm an active little dude who enjoys adventures, playtime, walks, and anything that lets me be part of the action. Whether we're heading out to explore or just hanging out together, I'm happiest when I'm with my people. I may be small, but I've got a big personality. My adorable little legs and cute "boots" only add to my charm, and trust me—I know how to use them to win hearts wherever I go. At 10 months old, I'm still young, fun, and ready to learn all about life with my forever family. If you're looking for a friendly, social, happy-go-lucky sidekick who gets along with everyone he meets, I might just be your perfect match. Come meet me—I have a feeling we're going to be best friends. Love, Boots 🐾
