Story

Maggie is a great puppy. She is very smart and eager to learn. She has a ton of playful puppy energy and is goofy little girl. She needs someone who understands the work that goes into having a puppy as she is a chewer and nibbler. She’s learning what is and is not for chewing (including toes and fingers). She’s doing great with crate training and potty training as long as you watch for cues while she’s running around. She loves her food and treats and already knows how to sit for them (most of the time). She’ll make a great companion!

Story

Meet River — a sweet, goofy bundle of puppy love with a personality that shines. This happy growing boy is always ready to bounce into fun, make a new friend, or shower you with affection. He’s playful, curious, and full of joyful spirit — the kind of pup who can turn any ordinary moment into something to smile about. At a perfect age for learning, bonding, and exploring the world, River is wonderfully suited for training, adventures, and all the experiences that make life with a young dog so special. River’s story began alongside his buddy Banks. The two were found abandoned, hungry, and out of luck near a creek — a pair of little castaways sticking together through it all. Thankfully those difficult days are behind him now, and River is ready to trade survival mode for the safe, loving life every puppy deserves. With his goofy charm, affectionate nature, and bright enthusiasm, River is looking for a home that will embrace his playful heart and give him all the love he’s been missing. Whether he’s romping around, discovering new things, or curling up close after a day of adventures, River is happiest right by your side. He’s ready to start fresh and let his happy, loving personality shine — all he needs now is a forever family to share it with.

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.
