Story
Josephine was meant to be a farm dog, but she got fired because she isn’t good at watching sheep and she chases chickens. For the last few months she’s been a house dog in a house full of dog-haters. I’m the only person who likes her, but I work a lot. When I’m at work she gets yelled at and threatened with violence and no one pets her. She deserves better. She is sweet and beautiful. She will cuddle you and kiss you and even though she’s big, she’ll sit in your lap. If you want a big, cuddly, goofball, Josephine is the dog for you.

You may have recently seen Rocky at Lowe's where he has a part-time job as a greeter! Seriously though, he is Mr. Personality; SO outgoing, with kisses and love for everyone! Truly a "people person" kind a guy, he will never be content unless he is close to his person or people.Rocky is a happy boy who is doing great with housebreaking, cannot get enough of playing fetch, is a wonderful cuddle-bug on the sofa, and just a joy to be around! Of course, he IS still a puppy and needs supervision to prevent chewing on your favorite shoes!

Story
I found this dog on the side of our country road. I have had him for approximately 6 months and have posted him and no owners have come forward. He is very sweet and submissive with other dogs. He chases and barks at my cat but only wants to play. He is not aggressive at all. He loves to run and play!! I would keep him if I didn’t already have 2 dogs and a cat. He has been staying in a kennel and does good but I know he would be happier being able to run more!

Story
Do you love a daper, shy, but loving dog? One who can zoom with the best of them? Then Elmo is your guy! Elmo is very slow to warm up and unsure of new people. Once you give him a chance though he is all tail wags, hops, and zoomies. He is mostly unsure of young children, so he would be best in a home with no kids or older kids. He’s got a lot of love to give but needs training and patience to get there. In his foster home he’s jokingly called Paul anka. Those Gilmore girl fans understand. Figuring out his quirks is just part of what makes him so fun. I mean look at that face how can you say no? Fence necessary due to door darting and getting scared and wanting to run Potty trained Loves to lay outside Requires training 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. Elmo’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.
