Story

This is a lab mix named Melbourne. He is around 2 yrs old and came from a home with 5 other lab mixes. He is super sweet and loves to play with other dogs. He is crate trained and housebroke. He weighs about 50 lbs but doesn't look it. He likes to give you his paw for attention. He is a little shy at first when meeting new people but overcomes that quickly. He would need a fenced in yard to keep him safe and he would love another dog to play with. He would also do fine with kids and probably cats also. 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. Melbourne’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.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Daria is such a sweet medium size dog weighing about 35-40 lbs. She is an owner return because owners got divorced and moved out of state. She is housebroke and crate trained but doesn't really need to be crated. She does get along with the other 8 dogs in her foster home. She may be scared when she first meets a new person, she even growled the first day she met her foster mom, but that only lasted a day and now she sleeps with her and her other 3 dogs in foster mom's bed. She would love a quite and calm home without kids. If you are an older couple or single older person, she would be perfect for 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. Daria’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.
