Story

Looking for a loving, sweet, active dog, then Foxy Roxy, a 2-year-old Dachshund mix, is your gal. At about 35-40 pounds, Foxy greets everyone she meets with not only a wagging tail, but also a wiggly butt, including the mailman. Her favorite activities include playing with her squeaky toys and balls, exploring, running and chasing balls in the backyard and, of course, snuggling with her foster parents while seeking belly rubs. She's housebroken, leash trained and is learning to heel, and knows basic commands. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She likes car rides. We don't know her history with dogs and cats. She'd likely do better with older children due to her activity level. A 4-feet fenced yard is a must. She's spayed, up-to-date on her shots and is heart-worm negative. Foxy came to Needy Paws after her previous owner became too ill to care for her. 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. Foxy Roxy’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

🎀 Sophie: The Pretty Princess Meet Sophie; our graceful, soft-spoken beauty with a sparkle in her eye and a gentle charm that turns heads wherever she goes. Sophie is one of 4 pups dumped on our property. We found these sweet pups huddled under our over hand on our deck late one night. She may be quieter than the rest of the pack, but make no mistake; she knows she is stunning, and she carries it with elegance and poise. ✨ Sophie loves to sit back and take in the world.. But when she tilts that sweet head and flashes her signature smile, everyone melts. 💛 Our lovely princess reminds us that sometimes the quietest souls have the most radiant hearts.

Story

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX. DOGS ARE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org 🎩🐾 Meet Mr. Banks — Proper Gentleman by Day, Professional Cuddle Enthusiast by Night! 🐾🎩 Yes, that Mr. Banks. Named after the famously structured and dignified character from Mary Poppins… and much like his namesake, this Mr. Banks appreciates a well-run household and a predictable schedule. At approximately 3 years old (DOB 3/17/2023) and a dashing 95 pounds, Mr. Banks runs a tight ship. 6:01 — Enter the room. 6:02 — Dinner, belly rubs, cuddles. He does want to clarify that while punctuality is appreciated, he is willing to accept those three items in any order. He’s reasonable like that. Mr. Banks has that “lovin’ life” mentality that turns everyday moments into grand events. A walk isn’t just a walk — it’s a parade. A car ride isn’t just transportation — it’s a red-carpet appearance. A trip to the coffee shop? Obviously he’ll take a puppaccino. He has standards. Despite his impressive 95-pound presence, Mr. Banks is all manners and charm: • House trained ✔ • Crate trained ✔ • Knows his basic commands ✔ • Does not jump on people ✔ • Does not get on furniture ✔ • Does not scratch at doors ✔ • Up to date on vet care ✔ • Accepts brushing like the distinguished gentleman he is ✔ He is extremely treat-oriented. You’ve never seen focus until you’ve seen Mr. Banks lock eyes with a Milk-Bone. NASA could study that level of concentration. He’s fantastic with people — tall, small, and everyone in between. He’s dog-friendly and enjoys a good romp in the yard or toy session. A home with two-legged or four-legged siblings? That would be, in his professional opinion, “the bomb.” And let’s talk adventure size. At 95 lbs, he is: • Perfect for nature hikes (nose engaged the entire time) • Excellent for camping trips (will supervise the campsite) • River-ready (cool water = happy Banks) • Large enough for elite-level cuddle sessions • Big enough to make you feel safe • Just small enough to still try to be a lap dog Mr. Banks would thrive in a home that appreciates: • Consistency (he loves routine) • A little daily activity • A dog who follows the rules • A companion who is equal parts adventure buddy and couch confidant He truly wants to be part of your life — the everyday errands, the weekend fun, the quiet evenings at home. Everything is an adventure to him. Even taking the trash out could be a bonding moment. If you’re looking for a well-mannered, treat-motivated, adventure-ready, schedule-appreciating best friend with a big body and an even bigger heart… Mr. Banks may very well be your boy. 👉 Fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org and let’s see if this distinguished gentleman is ready to clock into your life forever 🐾✨
