Dixie Mill is new to Helping Strays and is still adjusting to her new surroundings.

Her ideal home would be a quiet, patient environment where she can settle in at her own pace and build trust on her terms. She is not good with cats and is selective about her dog friends.

Story
Hi my name is Judd and I’m just a young friendly pup.  Can you believe someone dumped me in a bean field in Hayti Mo and left me there, all alone.  Lucky for me someone found me and took care of me and then contacted Needy Paws and they rescued me, so I’m safe now. I am house-trained, comfortable in a crate, and interact well with other dogs.  I would love to be part of your family. 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. Judd’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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 1, 2026, 9:13 pm
