Story
Hi, I’m Cosmo and I am an all-tail-wags, happy boy! I’m a smart pup – I go potty right away when I go outside and only piddle on my puppy pad when I happily snuggle in for the night, sun down to sun up, but I’m still learning. I love tennis balls and sticks! My doggy foster brother is teaching me the fun of fetching and how to use the doggy door and stairs. I really like his attention as well as playing and snuggling with my other litter mates, Estrella and Noah so I think I’d be great with another dog.   I love the kids that play with me at my foster home, and they are teaching me to chew on toys (not shoes :) ) and follow the leader. I love to cuddle with and give puppy kisses to everyone I meet. If I’m potentially a right fit for you, I’d love for you to fill out an application to meet me.   If interested, please  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. Our $275 adoption fee 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.

Hi, I’m Estrella and I'm a sweet and curious girl! I am 8- weeks old. I’m doing exceptionally well with potty training – I go potty right away when I go outside but I'm still learning. I happily snuggle in for the night, sun down to sun up, with my litter mates, Cosmo and Noah. I love tennis balls and sticks! My doggy foster brother is teaching me the fun of fetching and how to use the doggy door and stairs. I really like his attention  so I’d be great in a home with (an)other dog(s).   I enjoy the kids that play with me at my foster home. They are teaching me to chew on toys (not shoes :) ) and follow the leader.  I love to cuddle with and give puppy kisses to everyone I meet. My mom and dad are Shepard mixes,  around 50-60 lbs. If I’m potentially a right fit for you, I’d love for you to fill out an application to meet me.   If interested, please  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.

Story
Introducing Kylie and Sidney, the 6yo dynamic duo of toy Australian Shepherds who bring joy and warmth wherever they go. Kylie, the outgoing one of the pair, is always the first to greet new friends with her wagging tail and infectious enthusiasm. Sidney, on the other hand, may be a bit more reserved, but her sweet and friendly nature shines through in every interaction. Weighing in at a petite 15 pounds apiece, these two pint-sized pups may be small in stature, but they make up for it with their big hearts and boundless energy. With their playful personalities, they will thrive in a securely fenced yard where they can run and romp to their hearts' content. While they may not be fans of walking on a leash just yet, they are making great strides with their potty training, proving themselves to be quick learners and eager to please. Together, Kylie and Sidney are the perfect pair, reminding us all of the joy that comes from the unconditional love and companionship of our furry friends. These sweet girls are retired breeder dogs who spent their entire life in a kennel raising puppies for money. They are loving life in a real home. They get along fine with dogs their size, they initially bark at big dogs. They are fine with dog savvy cats too. While they are not in a home with children they would likely do fine with older dog respectful children. They are best of friends and will only be adopted together. They are being fostered in St Clair Mo. Their joint adoption fee is $500.

These pups are in Columbia, Illinois too!
