Story
**Courtesy Post ** Chevy is a 40lb Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. She loves playing fetch and catching the frisbee. She loves everyone she meets. She would do very well in a no kid household. She could also do well in a household with another dog, but doesn’t know sharing is caring so she just needs to learn how to share her toys. She is kennel trained (prefers to sleep in her kennel at night), housebroken, knows to sit, lay, paw/shake, leave it, and has been working on release. She does well going out into public settings and LOVES going to Home Depot. She's a plant girl. She loves swimming and playing in the water. She is high energy and needs a fenced in yard that she can run in. If you are interested in adopting Chevy or have any questions, please email aashleypickett@gmail.com Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 22, 2026, 8:21 pm

Story
Amora is ready for her happily-ever-after!  This beautiful 6-year-old Australian Shepherd has spent the last chapter of her life being an amazing mama to eight puppies , and now it’s finally Amora’s turn to be spoiled. And believe us, she has earned it! Amora is a 40-pound, tri-colored sweetheart who is smart, attentive, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She knows her basic commands, has wonderful house manners, and is completely house-trained, so her new family gets to skip a lot of the puppy chaos and jump right into enjoying life together.  She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her some patience and a little time (about 5 minutes) and Amora warms up beautifully. Once she decides you’re her person, prepare yourself for a professional-level snuggler.  She especially loves belly rubs and has the cutest habit of making little happy noises while she gets them. Yes, she comes with her own commentary track! Amora gets along well with other dogs and would love a home where she can have plenty of companionship. She has moderate-to-high exercise needs, so her ideal family will enjoy walks, adventures, playtime, and keeping this clever girl mentally engaged. After she’s had her activity, though, she’ll be more than happy to settle in beside you for some serious couch cuddling. After raising eight puppies, Amora is officially off the clock . No more diapers, no more midnight feedings, no more puppy management. Her next job is simply to be loved, spoiled, snuggled, and reminded every day that she’s someone’s beloved dog.  If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, well-mannered companion who just wants a family of her own, Amora may be your girl. She gave her puppies everything she had. Now it’s time for someone to give Amora everything she deserves.   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. Amora’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.

Australian Shepherd

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Kane and Audrey were part of a litter of seven 6-week old puppies brought into an overburdened rural shelter. Their mother had been found nearby, struck by a car — leaving her babies orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on. Despite the shelter’s best efforts, all the puppies except Kane and Audrey passed away. These puppies are fighters. They’ve bounced back from fleas and worms of all kinds, as well as sarcoptic mange, and are ready to start their new lives. A DNA test found that Kane and Adurey are mostly Australian shepherd and husky mixes. They are both very sweet and smart and love playing, running, and having fun with toys. Kane is a little more timid than his sister. He’s snuggly and just wants to crawl up inside you because the world is a little frightening. Audrey is braver and more outgoing. She crushes on every boy dog she meets and just wants to be close to them. The pups are each looking for a new home. (They will not be adopted together.) They are being fostered in the St. Louis area. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##
