Story
 Meet Sir: The Ultra-Chill Gentle      Breed: Akita Age: Almost 8 years old Weight: 115 lbs Coat: Incredibly soft and plush   If you are looking for a big, handsome companion with a calm spirit, Sir is your man! At almost 8 years old, Sir has mastered the art of being "chill." He is a quiet boy who rarely barks, preferring to spend his days finding a nice, cool spot on the floor to stretch out and relax.   Sir has a heart as big as his paws. He loves his people deeply and is incredibly generous with his sweet doggy kisses. When he isn't napping or showing affection, you can usually find him happily carrying around his favorite plush stuffy.   Sir is a total gentleman who knows his manners and is wonderfully gentle when taking treats from your hand. He has previously lived happily with another large dog, but he would also thrive as a pampered solo king in a relaxed home.   If you have a cool floor and plenty of love to give, Sir is ready to be your loyal, low-maintenance best friend! 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. Sir'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
Murphy is the sweetest most bubbly dog. She loves life and she loves people. We adopted Murphy from the Humane Society of Missouri 2 years ago as a puppy. She is now 2 and a half. She is trained and listens well but could use more work on the leash. She would do well in a home with no other animals but may warm up to other dogs. She currently lives with cats but they do scare her a little bit. Being an Akita she would do best with an experienced owner that knows the breed or someone who has done their research on the breed. She is not like most Akitas, she loves strangers and is always ready to meet new people. She needs lots of toys and will need to be crated when home alone. She needs an active family that is willing to put a lot of time into her and continuing her training. She loves to learn new tricks!
