Story
Dharma is a sweet 16-week-old male Aussie/Shepherd mix.  He is a fun-loving puppy who enjoys playing with his sibling and exploring the back yard.  Dharma is doing very well with his crate training and is working hard on his potty training.  He is a pro and going up and down carpeted stairs. He loves attention from his humans but is content to play with toys.  He's even been known to play fetch with his favorite toy.  Dharma is treat motivated so he should be easy to train.  He is picking up commands such as sit, come & of course learning what no means.   He has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccinations, including rabies.   H e will make someone a great addition to their family.   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 $295 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.

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🐾✨ Meet Fergie — Your All-Access Adventure Pass ✨🐾 Fergie is a 2-year-old Mini Aussie, weighing 34 pounds, and she’s basically a ball of energy wrapped in a drop-dead gorgeous chocolate, tan, and white coat. Seriously — this girl turns heads everywhere she goes… and then zooms past them because she’s got places to be. 😄 She’s smart, athletic, and READY FOR ACTION, making her an amazing candidate for agility, obedience, hiking, running, or anything that lets her stretch those legs and use that brilliant Aussie brain. Fergie walks beautifully on and off leash, hops into the car like a pro, and is always up for the next adventure — whether that’s a weekend road trip or a quick trip to grab coffee. Fergie is: ✅ House trained ✅ Spayed & up-to-date on vaccines ✅ Great with dogs ✅ Good with kids ✅ Energetic, athletic, and eager to learn ✅ A total superstar with “good dog” energy Cats are currently unknown, but with her smarts and training ability, proper introductions could go a long way. This girl is not a couch potato — she’s looking for an active family who wants a dog to be part of everything but she does like that precious cuddle just like any other... when the day is done. Morning walks? She’s in. Weekend hikes? Absolutely. Road trips? Shotgun. Folding laundry? She’ll supervise. And let’s talk about that coat — rich chocolate brown with tan and white markings that make her look like she walked straight out of a dog magazine. Beauty and brains? Yes, for sure! ✨ If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and all-around awesome dog, Fergie checks every box. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and get ready to fall in love with your new favorite adventure partner! 🐶💨💖
