Story
This good looking, sweet, boy is Kirkland.  He’s guessed to be a 2–3-year-old lab mix.   He’s a little over 50 lbs and a nice compact size.  He is new to his foster home but is settling in well.   He goes in his crate easily with treats and appears to be housebroken.  He does not need to be crated overnight.  He gets along fabulously with the other four dogs in the home including a 15 lb, 16 yo blind dog to an 86 lb husky.   He is a sweet soul and easy dog to have around.  He craves human attention but is not obnoxious about his affection.  He showed that he does love children at his first adoption event.  He would make a great family dog or playmate for another dog.        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.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lennox is ready for Halloween with his bumblebee costume!  He would love to “buzz” into your heart and home. Lennox is a 3 year old lab retriever. He has come a long way since coming to us.  He used to bolt out of the house every chance he got but he has since learned to wait at the door until asked to go out as well as other basic commands.  He is house broken and crate trained although he no longer gets crated.  Lennox is friendly with kids and cats.  Our cats aren’t the best playmates for him so I think that he would do well in a house with another dog to play with him.  Lennox still has some puppy energy so it would be best to have a fenced yard for him to runout his “zoomies”.  Lennox is a sweet and loveable dog and will make a great companion to a loving home. 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. Lennox’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
