Story
We bought Louis in August! He is a miniature Australian Shepherd. He has been well socialized! We have three young toddlers and another dog. He goes on frequent trips to the park. He does great with kids and animals! He’s kennel trained and house broken. Our only reason for rehoming him is the sole fact that 2 dogs and 3 toddlers is too hard for our family. We love him and only want him to go to a wonderful home.

Story
Meet Junee    Small puppy. Big confidence. Olympic-level silliness.     Junee is a shepherd mix around 10 weeks old, weighing about 15 pounds, and already living life like it’s one long outdoor adventure. Wrapped in a gorgeous mix of chocolate brown with accents of white, she’s the kind of puppy who looks at the world and says, “Yes, let’s check that out too.”   Friendly from the start, Junee loves meeting new people and makes fast friends wherever she goes. She’s smart, confident, and endlessly curious, always ready to explore the yard, chase a leaf, or proudly parade around with her latest discovery. And then there’s her silly side. Expect goofy puppy moves, playful pounces, and moments that make you laugh out loud for no reason at all.    Junee gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a playful companion, though she’d also be thrilled to be your one and only sidekick. She is still working on house training and will need basic obedience training, but she’s eager to learn and ready for guidance. Her exercise needs are moderate, making her a great match for families who enjoy walks, backyard playtime, and active puppy fun. A fenced yard is preferred so she can explore safely and freely.   Life with Junee will look like muddy paws, happy zoomies, outdoor adventures, and a confident, playful puppy who keeps things light and fun. If your home could use a smart, adventurous pup with a wonderfully silly streak, Junee is ready to bring the joy.    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.

Story
Meet Baloo  Half puppy, half teddy bear, 100% heart-stealer.   Baloo is a 10 week old shepherd mix who looks like he wandered straight out of a storybook forest and into foster care. With his fluffy brown, black, and white coat and his round, bear-cub vibe, he has a way of making people smile before he even says hello.   At about 15 pounds of pure puppy potential, Baloo is playful, curious, and always ready for his next little adventure. New people might get a shy glance at first, but don’t blink. He warms up quickly and suddenly you have a wiggly, tail-wagging sidekick who wants to be wherever you are. He’s easygoing by nature and loves to explore his world one sniff at a time.   Baloo gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine buddy to help show him how fun life can be. He’s still working on house training and will need basic obedience training, but he’s at the perfect age to learn and bond with his future family. His exercise needs are moderate. Think daily walks, backyard zoomies, and plenty of play breaks followed by well earned puppy naps. A fenced yard is preferred so this little explorer can safely patrol his kingdom.   Life with Baloo will look like playful mornings, curious afternoons, and cozy evenings with a puppy who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle candidate. With consistency, patience, and love, Baloo is going to grow into a loyal, confident companion who stays close to his people.   If you’re ready to add a bear-lookalike puppy with a gentle soul and a playful spark to your family, Baloo is ready to meet you.    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
Meet Roo  Small in size, big on potential, and already practicing his “best boy” skills.   Roo is a 2.5 month old, 15 lb shepherd mix with a handsome blend of tan, black, and beige that hints at the smart, watchful dog he’s growing into. He’s friendly with new people, approaches the world with curiosity, and has a natural loyalty that makes him keep one thoughtful eye on his humans at all times. Think attentive sidekick, not shadow.   He’s house-training is in progress and he’s catching on quickly. Roo is a fast learner, but he will need continued obedience training to help him build confidence and polish his manners. The good news is that he genuinely wants to learn and engage. Training won’t feel like a chore; it’ll feel like teamwork.   Roo has moderate exercise needs. Daily walks, backyard exploration, and some mental enrichment will keep him happy and balanced. A fenced yard is ideal for this curious guy, giving him a safe place to stretch his legs and satisfy his inner explorer. He’s been tested with other dogs and does well, making him a solid candidate for a home with canine companionship.   Once settled in, adopters can expect a dog who is loyal, observant, and deeply connected to his people. Roo is the type who notices routines, learns household rhythms quickly, and quietly takes pride in being part of the family. With guidance, structure, and love, he’s going to grow into a truly special companion.   If you’re looking for a smart, devoted pup who’s ready to learn and eager to belong, Roo might just be your perfect match.    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
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. She is fantastic with other dogs and great with kids. She is happy to be with everyone. 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##
