Story

I have two shorkies that I unfortunately need to rehome as I had to place my husband in a nursing home and sold my house. The only affordable apartment I could find does not allow pets. Yogi is 14 years young and he loves to cuddle and eat! He is mostly deaf and his vision is not the best, but he is so lovable and easy to care for. I give him eye drops daily but he does not require any other medication. He is pee pad trained but also enjoys being outside and will potty out there as well. I’m not willing to separate him from his sister, Boo-boo, as they have been together their whole lives!

Story

Meet Elijah…a precious 5 year old ShihTzu, weighing 16 pounds, who has spent his entire life alone and unloved in a small filthy cage at a breeding facility. He is slowly learning the “freedoms” of sleeping inside a home on a soft bed snuggled under a blankie, a big bowl of good food and clean water and eating until he is full, lots and lots of belly rubs and kisses, and rolling on his back in the grass in the yard. Elijah is a very sweet little guy that requires a home with another small playful dog for companionship, a quiet home with no young children, and a secure fenced yard to go potty as he does not know how to walk on a leash. He also requires an adopter who has had some experience/knowledge with dogs that have been rescued from a breeder or puppymill. Elijah is healthy, current on his immunizations, heartworm negative, neutered, microchipped, and he has recently had his teeth cleaned along with multiple extractions. 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. Elijah’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.

Misty

Shih Tzu

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos

Kansas City, MO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Misty is a 4 1/2 year-old Shih Tzu who was a breeder release to rescue. She is a very sweet girl who loves to follow you around and be near you. However, because of her history, she is not used to being picked up and handled. She very much wants to but she is afraid. We have been taking things slow, and she is becoming more comfortable with her surroundings. She is not yet comfortable on a leash. She’s not completely housebroken because she does not have a good way of telling you she needs to go outside. Misty loves other dogs and is very comfortable and used to being around other dogs. She also has no issue with children but will often run the other way if they get to jumping around. Misty would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time and willing to work with her. Finding a home for her that has some experience with a shy dog or even a breeder release would be extremely helpful! Regardless, Misty needs someone who is willing to push her outside of her comfort zone. She is extremely friendly and also extremely shy. Misty has been spayed and is current on all of her vaccinations. She is also microchipped. She is ready to meet her new family!
