Story
Say hello to Wishbone, a fun, happy pup who’s bursting with love, energy, and sweetness! This boy is seriously AMAZING! He adores everyone he meets and will be a perfect addition to an active family with kids and other dogs. Wishbone is a happy boy who enjoys giving hugs and kisses, playing in the yard and snuggling with his people and dog friends. He would do great with a younger, playful dog in his forever home so he has a buddy to play with. Don’t let the pictures deceive you, he’s a little guy at just 32 lbs and won’t get much bigger than that! He’s a perfect size; not too big, not too small! He’s a perfect friend to to take on adventures, curl up on the couch with you and snuggle up in your lap! Wishbone is housebroken and crate trained and does good on a leash. He will master commands with continued training, lots of praise and treats! Because of his energy level, it’s best he has a fenced yard so he has the freedom to run zoomies and burn off some energy safely. He’d also enjoy going for walks, hiking, even car rides to go to fun places! This happy, tail-wagging sweetheart will bring endless fun and love to your home!

Story
 Hi my name is Keke. I’m a 4.5 mth old border collie mix , or that’s what my foster mom thinks. I was found as a stray. I know, way too young to be wandering the streets alone right!! Thankfully I was saved. I was found skinny and alone. I was put on stray hold for a week but no one came for me. That’s when I got a new mom. She is fostering me until we can find me a forever family.  For 4.5 mths old I’m very smart! I use potty pads inside if I need too, but I’m doing great at pottying outside.  I can and have slept in my kennel but I prefer to be in bed with my foster mom, brothers and sister. And we even have a kitty that I sometimes chase because she will run and I think we are playing chase but she lets me know when she’s had enough. My foster mom even trusts me being left out with my foster brothers and sister when she has to go somewhere. I have plenty of toys to keep me occupied but I mostly sleep while she’s gone.  I would do better with a little older kids since I am teething and sometimes mistake fingers and toes for chew toys. I’m a very quick learner. I know what No means, I sit and I’m learning shake and how to walk on a leash. I will be a good protector for my new forever family. I love being outside playing or inside as long as I have someone to play with.   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.

Story
Phoebe is a definite Rat Terrier mix around 3-4 years of age. She was found running at large with little Rachel in Taney Co. Missouri. She is a little shy at first, but a super sweet girl. She does climb out of the pup pen that is 4ft tall so a secure yard for her to play in with a privacy fence would be great! She is a little alpha acting with other dogs, but does like their company. Active girl and super pretty too! She would make a great trail/walking partner and prefers women over men, but does warm up. ##1734559##

Story
3/20/25 We can only repeat what we wrote in August. Please consider giving Toby a home. He asks for little - just a soft bed in an ex pen where he can call that area his own. He likes to be on a schedule of eating/going out in the yard to potty. He needs a fenced yard as he has had no leash training. 8/6/24 Is there not a Chihuahua person out there looking for a little guy who does not ask for much attention? He enjoys being in his ex pen watching the other dogs but not being bothered by them. He's quick to get his business done outside but does need to wear a belly band inside as he likes to sometimes sneak a marking in. Where is his person? He's still waiting .10/24/23 Yes, Toby is a Grumpy old man. But he doesn't require much attention. He's quiet in his exercise pen and likes to stroll around the fenced yard. He'll find a sunny spot to soak up some sun, and then he's ready to come back in and climb back in his bed. Toby is a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, approximately 6 years old. He came to us from being saved off the streets of a big Texas town. Toby needs a home that can help him trust people. He doesn't really want to be handled but likes to observe from a safe space out of the reach of people. Toby craves the safety of his crate - he will go outside into the fenced yard when you open his crate door, and he comes back in when called and will hop in his crate. He does not appreciate hands in his crate, so if you need to pick him up, talking quietly to him in an area where he cannot hide, he will allow you to pick him up and accept a few skritches. He's black and white and weighs about 10 pounds. He gets along with all the other dogs here and will need a securely fenced yard and someone who will allow him to relax and be with you without needing much attention until he knows he's safe. To inquire, please complete our application first, www.bongosbuddiesrescue.com . 10/14/25 Toby has been diagnosed with EPI, which means his body is not absorbing nutrients correctly. We have him on a supplement and 2 meds that are added to his 2 meals a day, and he has gained the weight he lost and is eating well. He does need to wear a belly band and his person to remember he can have no treats besides his 2 meals as he gets diarrhea if given food not treated by his meds first.
