Charm is a gentle, loving, and smart boy who adores people and enjoys being close to his humans. he is fully house-trained, crate trained (no bedding-he will tear it up), and treat-motivated. He already knows the commands of sit, paw, and working on "down" position. Charm does well meeting other dogs and shows no resource guarding, but he would do best in a cat-free home. Affectionate, calm, and eager to please, Charm would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend.

Story
Miles is a complete love bug! He lives for affection and positive reinforcement. He currently shares his home with two tiny senior female Chihuahuas and is always willing to wait patiently while they get the first treats and dinner. He also has a foster mom who works from home. Miles is an extremely happy and sensitive soul. He absorbs the feelings of his person and environment and works very hard to make sure his foster mom is always happy and protected. Due to his protective nature, he is enrolled in specialized training to assist him in overcoming some of this drive. Miles will shut down if voices are raised or he thinks he’s done something wrong. Miles is true to his breed. He’s always watchful, will try to “herd” his chihuahua lady friends, incredibly smart, and as mentioned, is protective. The ideal home for Miles would be a family without children (as his drive to protect will likely heighten if he has young children around and he’s a big goofy boy that doesn’t realize how strong he is), with someone who works from home or is only gone a few hours a day as he can exhibit signs of separation anxiety, and someone who can be gently consistent with enforcing manners and positive behaviors. Miles is not crate trained as his anxiety skyrockets if crated; however, if left free in the home he will not damage anything. He will sleep peacefully or monitor the comings and goings of the neighborhood through the window. He also requires a home with a fenced yard so he can lay in the sun and play. Miles is 100% a loving, loyal companion. He loves attention, treats, snuggles and walks. He has learned sit, down, wait, gentle, go potty, and walks well on a leash. He is learning to handle his big emotions around protecting “his” family and yard, and improving his consistency with commands, patience and not reacting to external stimulation. He is the smartest dog his foster mom has had in 3 decades of foster and rescue and he will use his intelligence to get what he wants.  In the right scenario, Miles will be an incredible addition to 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. Miles’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.

Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌸🐾 Meet Shirley — A Soft Soul with a Big Heart (and a Little Extra Fluff) 🐾🌸 Shirley is a June 2023 baby, weighing in at about 60 pounds — though her ideal weight is closer to 50 (she’s currently rocking that “well-loved” look 😄). She’s spayed, fully vetted, and comes with what can only be described as an impressively solid resume for a family dog. Shirley checks all the important boxes: ✅ Good with other dogs ✅ Great with kids ✅ House trained ✅ Up to date on vaccines ✅ Loyal, loving, and well-mannered ✅ Professional belly-rub enthusiast At first, Shirley can be a teeny bit shy — the kind of girl who likes to observe before jumping in — but give her a moment and she’ll melt right into you. Once she trusts you, she’s all about the belly rubs, quiet companionship, and loyal sidekick energy. She’s sweet, gentle, and has a calm presence that makes her a joy to be around. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention — she just wants to be near her people, soaking up love and offering it right back. Whether it’s lounging at your feet, joining you for a walk, or quietly supervising household activities, Shirley is happy just being part of a family. And yes… she could stand to lose a few pounds — but honestly, that just means more motivation to strap on that fitbit and getting your steps in... together, right? 😉 Shirley is ready for a home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished — a place where she can finally settle in and be someone’s “good girl” for life. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Shirley the forever home she so deeply deserves. 🐾💖

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet HollyBerry ✨🍓 4 years old | 65 lbs | Certified Goofball | Professional Best Friend If joy had a mascot, it would be HollyBerry — and she would be sprinting toward you at full speed with a toy in her mouth and zero personal space boundaries. 😄 💖 THE GOOD STUFF (aka: Why You’ll Fall in Love Instantly) ✅ Sweet as pie (like… the kind your grandma brags about) ✅ Professional goofball — laughs guaranteed ✅ Endless energy — always ready for an adventure ✅ Elite-level cuddler — snuggles are her superpower ✅ Social butterfly — LOVES people ✅ Confidence: 100/10 ✅ Eager to please — truly wants to be a good girl ✅ Fetch champion — seriously, she lives for it 😅 THE “LET’S BE HONEST” SECTION ❌ Thinks chain-link fences are more of a suggestion than a rule ❌ Can have a little too much fabulousness for some dogs ❌ Too big + enthusiastic for small kids and cats ❌ Likes to gently hold your hand… with her mouth (it’s weirdly sweet, we promise) 🐾 THE HEARTBEAT BEHIND THE GOOBER Holly’s story is one of second chances and big hope. Over a year ago, she was just moments away from being euthanized in a rural Texas shelter. She was saved in the nick of time and moved to what was supposed to be a temporary outdoor setup. But temporary turned into a long wait. And Holly? She’s still waiting. Despite it all, she is overflowing with love. She adores people, lives for affection, and will happily melt into you for belly rubs. She’s smart, playful, eager to learn, and wants nothing more than to belong to someone. Fetch is her jam. Cuddles are her currency. Love is her whole personality. She dreams of: 🏡 A secure, tall-fenced yard 🛋️ A couch (or your lap… or both) 💛 A human who chooses her forever Holly isn’t just looking for a home — she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees her big heart, her goofy grin, and her unstoppable love, and says “You’re mine.” ✨ If you’re ready for laughter, loyalty, and a dog who will adore you with her entire soul, HollyBerry is waiting. Apply now at haydudeequine.org and give this girl the happy ending she’s been dreaming of. 💖
