Story
Poor little Rebel was saved from someone giving her away at the age of approx 1 yr. Her household has changed alot and a new dog (much larger) started bullying her so her mom felt it best to find her a new home where she wouldn't be bothered by bigger dogs. She is shy with new people and really prefers if other dogs in the home they are her size and calm. We are told she is housetrained and a sweet cuddly girl once she trusts you. ##2825214##

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
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.

Story
Please note that this dog is currently located in TX and will be transported once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. Meet Your New Little Sidekick! 🐾❤️ This handsome little guy is a 5-year-old, 12-pound Chiweenie with a personality that is WAY bigger than his tiny body! 🌭🐶 He's a total character and has a wonderfully comical personality that will keep you laughing. He loves his people deeply and, once you're his person, he's all about being by your side. And when the day is done, his favorite place is probably curled up next to you for a good snuggle. 🥰 Don't let his small size fool you—this boy LOVES his walks! He's happiest when he's out exploring the world with his favorite person, so he'd make a great little walking buddy. He's also crate trained and does well with other dogs. Now, he does have a little bit of a "Who are you and why are you at my house?!" reaction when meeting new people. 😂 He can be barky with strangers, so he'll do best with someone who understands that some little dogs need a little time to warm up and feel comfortable. Once you're in his circle, though, you've got a loyal little buddy who loves his people. If you're looking for a funny, affectionate, walk-loving, snuggly little companion with a big personality packed into 12 pounds, this Chiweenie might be your perfect match! ❤️ Apply to adopt him at haydudeequine.org! 🐾

Story
Meet Oscar 🐾 Oscar is a one-of-a-kind little guy who is part Dachshund, part Chihuahua part Pittie, part mystery, and 100% lovable! With his long body and short little legs, he’s basically a hot dog with a Pittie smile. 😂❤️ Oscar is super affectionate, playful, and cuddly. At just barely a year old he has plenty of energy and loves to play, but when playtime is over, he’s more than happy to curl up with his favorite person. He also does wonderfully with other dogs and sleeps like a champ in his crate. 💤 He’s mostly potty trained and is learning more every day. He’s also apparently pursuing a career in interior design—he loves rearranging the dog beds and toys to create what he believes is the perfect layout. 😂 Oscar does have a mischievous side. He LOVES food and may occasionally jump on tables or go looking for snacks. In fact, this little genius has figured out how to open Tupperware! We believe some of this comes from his history of food insecurity, so he’s still learning that he doesn’t have to worry about where his next meal is coming from. ❤️ Oscar is sweet, silly, energetic, affectionate, and just the right amount of naughty. He’s looking for a family who will give him patience, structure, cuddles, playtime, and most importantly, the chance to finally feel safe and loved. Oscar may rearrange your furniture, steal your heart, and possibly figure out your Tupperware… but we promise he’s worth it. 🐶❤️ Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
