Story
I’m Solstice - a fluffy and playful pup looking for my forever home! I was found with my two siblings in a ditch in rural MO at 6 weeks old.    I’m fantastic with the kids in my foster home and all their friends. I prefer not to be picked up all the time and would rather just chase, chew and play tug o war.  Belly rubs are also a must.     At night, I sleep  in my kennel in the bedroom, and during the day I enjoy playing with the other dogs in my foster home. Like any puppy, I’ll need a family with patience and time to continue my training. I was spayed and microchipped on 1/23 and have received two rounds of vaccinations. Until I finish up all of my puppy vaccinations, it’s best to keep me from public places. Think we might be a match?  Please fill out an application.     If interested, please  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. Our $295 adoption fee 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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 3, 2026, 11:11 am
