Story
*Florance is in foster and can be seen by appointment only* Florance aka "Flo" is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu mix who arrived at our shelter in tough shape, matted, scared, and so pregnant that she gave birth the very same day she came in. Despite everything she has been through, this tiny mama is already showing us how gentle and resilient she is. Flo is very shy at first but is slowly blossoming in her foster home with the help of her canine foster siblings. Watching another dog navigate the world gives her confidence, so we recommend a home with at least one friendly resident dog to help her continue coming out of her shell. She is potty pad trained and enjoys the comfort of a calm, predictable home environment. Because she is still building trust and learning how to be a beloved family dog, Flo will need a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore at her own pace. She is currently living in a foster home and can be seen by appointment only. If you have a gentle home, a soft spot for shy dogs, and a furry friend ready to show Flo the ropes, she may be the perfect addition to your family. If interested please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule a visit.

Story
3/20/25 Roberta is a very sweet girl that prefers to snooze in her crate. Roberta gets along with all the other dogs here, whether they are small or large. Roberta needs a fenced yard as she does not know how to walk on a leash. She is due for a dental next month, and we will also have the vet do a good physical on her at that time. 10/23/24 We can't believe Roberta is still here. Someone, PLEASE give her a home of her own! Roberta is a 9 year old gold and white Shih Tzu weighing about 11 pounds. She came to us a year ago, and she likes to think she's in charge. This girlie loves to be out in the back fenced yard, monitoring the other dogs and the neighborhood. She likes to find a sunny spot to catch some sun, then moves to a cool spot to enjoy the breeze. She's still working on her house training and relaxing around people. Roberta gets along with the other dogs here and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She needs her own family that can help her learn all the secrets of being a family member in a home. To inquire about Roberta, please complete an application FIRST, at www.bongosbuddiesrescue.com. UPDATE - 10/14/25 /Roberta recently had her vaccinations updated and at her visit the vet told us to continue waiting on doing a dental. She had lost a couple of her bad teeth, and the vet said at this age, she'd prefer to not do a dental on her as her tarter is not a concern at this time. Her sight is dimming, but there is nothing our vet thinks is a concern with her aging. She's a sweet girl that really wants little from her humans other than trips out to potty, 2 meals a day, and a treat at bedtime. She prefers to spend her time in her bed with little attention from her humans as many former breeder dogs do.

Story
We have the Three Amigos who joined our rescue a few months ago. They were found covered in ticks and abandoned in the woods. Their initial vetting has been completed. We have DNA tested them, and Steve, Chevy, and Martin are brothers - mainly a mix of Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, and Bichon Frise. They really would enjoy either a house with a young dog that likes to run and play, or the best option would be that they were adopted together. But we know that is asking a lot. These boys sleep quietly in their crates at night and are learning to accept human attention, settling in for a short time on your lap. They have LOTS of ENERGY and need a securely fenced area to run and chase and play. We have not walked them on a leash, so a fenced yard is a must. They are waiting for their Person to see them and give them a home.

Story
Buddster, a fun, active, curious chihuahua/shih tzu mix, weighs about 16 pounds and is around 4 years old. He’s house trained and crate trained but loves spending time on the sofa cuddling or playing fetch with his squeaky toys or ball. He’s wary of strangers especially men.  He needs very slow introductions to new people. A little patience and treats will be rewarded with a loving lapdog. He can be anxious and nervous and will bark if feeling threatened. He was surrendered by a loving owner who went into assisted living. He has no history with dogs or children. He would likely do best in household with one or 2 adults. Since he likes exploring, a fenced yard would be preferred. Size: 16 pounds Color: tan/white Age: 4 years Has basic commands Moderate exercise Wary of new people Fence preferred 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. Buddster’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.
