Story
Queen is a sweet girl looking for a patient, understanding family to call her own. She is house-trained when let outside regularly, though she may take a little time to do her business and does not let you know when she needs to go out. When her family is away, she does best resting safely in her kennel, as she may chew on household items if left unattended.Queen will thrive with a family that can help her feel secure and build her confidence. She has never lived with cats or other dogs. Since she has been with us at the shelter, she has not shown good behavior around other dogs so she will need to be the only dog in her new home. She previously lived with a 2-year-old child and was gentle, affectionate, and enjoyed cuddling. Queen loves splashing around in the kiddie pool and her personality shines when outside in the play yard.This smart girl already knows several commands, including sit, paw, and lay down. Like many dogs, she is not a fan of vet visits or nail trims. If you are looking for a loyal companion who enjoys affection and just needs a little patience and reassurance, she may be the perfect addition to your family.Queen is four years old and weighs 69 pounds.All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting a dog, please stop by the shelter during open hours. Dogs may be in a foster home, therefore scheduling an appointment is recommended. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it along to meet your possible new family member.helpingstrays.org

I have a rough-and-rowdy play style and sometimes forget that not everyone wants to wrestle like they’re auditioning for Doggie WWE.   Because of my history and play style, any dog siblings should be introduced slowly and carefully. I’d thrive with a savvy adopter who can help me continue building confidence and good manners.   Crate trained House trained and will tell you when I need to go out Great with people Loves affection Sweet soul with a giant heart Gives 110% effort in every game of f 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.

Story
Have you ever seen a dog sit like this??  This is Marshmallow. She’s a 4 mth old  (child) lab, terrier mix. She is fiesty, silly and very loving. She loves playing with any dogs and she can also make her own fun! She’s mostly potty trained. Walks great on a leash. She rides great in a car in front seat with seatbelt on of course. She rides well in back too but would rather ride shotgun so she can see better. She is kennel trained. I feed her in her kennel but she sometimes takes naps in there as well. She does sleep in bed with her foster mom brothers and sister and even a cat. She is cat friendly, sometimes too friendly and wants to play but does listen when told no. Kid friendly, but older kids would be best since she is a puppy and is frisky and teething. Would do better with fenced in yard, but would be okay without as long as she’s walked a lot. She’s the most photogenic dog I’ve ever seen as well. As you can see by her photos.  She would do best with another dog so she can learn from them, but she could be an only dog as long as she gets plenty of attention and exercise.   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.

Say hello to Aspen, a 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer who is the true representation of everything we love about this breed! Aspen has that perfect combination of elegance, grace, and pure Pointer enthusiasm. He greets his people with the warmest welcome and the happiest little nubby butt wiggles you’ve ever seen! His favorite place is right beside his people and he would love a family who wants a loyal companion who is always close by.This handsome boy has already proven he can be a wonderful family dog.

He is affectionate, social, and happiest when he gets to be part of the family action.Like many hunting breeds, Aspen is not a good match for a home with cats or birds, so his forever family will need to keep that in mind.And the way to Aspen’s heart? Spray cheese.
