Story

Jax is a 4 year old Australian Sheppard and gorgeous to boot. He was an owner surrender being no fault of his own. Jax is high energy and his owner did not think they could give Jax what he needed to become a better dog. Jax does great with other dogs (presides in a house with 2 other dogs). He does very well with the neighboring children and also lived with children in his previous home. Jax has alot of energy. He does great in the backyard with fetching and running around with my other foster dog. He also thinks he is the Tug of War champ of the house and would bring the rope to you to try and prove it. He is crate trained and potty trained (will tell me when he wants to go outside). He is a smart dog that does need some more training He does know simple commands like sit, paw, and lay. But he does lose focus when a treat is involved. Jax has been a great dog for me and will definitely be a great dog for his future owner. 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. Jax’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.

Story

Hi future family! My name is Ridge. I'm a 1 year old mini Aussie, weighing in at a whopping 20 pounds. I currently live in a foster home with two small kids and other dogs. I love this whole "living inside" thing! In my ideal home, I'd have a fenced in yard, another dog who loves to play and some kiddos to cuddle. I'm still kind of a puppy, so I need some work on manners. I'm a very happy little guy and love snuggling my people. My foster mom usually takes pit bulls, so she said I've been a whole new world! I love to bite my canine foster sister's legs while we play to herd her, and think tug, chase and bitey face are the best. I hope I have a dog friend in my forever home with similar interests. I'd love someone who enjoys walks! I'm crate trained and potty trained, plus my foster mom says I'm great for nail trims! As an added bonus, I'm totally comfortable in the car and jump right in. I've been around cats outside before and did fine, but who knows how id do inside! Before coming to needy paws, I had a rough life. My sister and I were dumped in a very rural area and thankfully someone picked us up and brought us to safety. Unfortunately, my front leg was previously broken and healed incorrectly so it's a bit crooked. It doesn't slow me down at all though! I also have something called discospondylitis, which is an infection in my spine. My foster mom has me feeling WAY better but I'll still need to take my meds every 12 hours and go to check ups with our vet until I'm cleared. I'm 2 months into treatment, which can last up to 1 year! Luckily, Needy Paws will pay for that treatment until I'm all better. I just need someone to give me my medicine 2 times a day and take me to my appointments every few months. No biggie! My foster mom would be happy to talk to you about my silly personality and medical needs. I hope to hear from you soon! 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. Ridge’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Story

Blu is a 1.5-year-old bundle of joy with a whole lot of love to give. He’s super affectionate and thrives on attention, always ready to lean in for pets or show off his goofy side. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and his happy, playful energy is contagious. Blu *loves* food (obviously) and is friendly, good-natured, and easy to be around. He also walks well, making him a great companion for strolls or adventures. We’re still getting to know Blu, but so far he’s showing himself to be a sweet, fun-loving dog who would make a wonderful addition to a lucky home. 🐾
