My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** This SWEET HANDSOME SENIOR GUY is looking for a family that will give him a few more years of Family Love!!

Meet " JR EWING "! A 16 yr old, 14 lb, Terrier Dachshund Mix He's got a long body & short legs, and cute little scruffy face!

His owner went to jail and left him behind with terrible red skin & missing fur due to flea dermatitis. His fur is now coming back!

JR wants to find a family that will love him and give him a great life. He does get along with dogs but cautious around larger dogs.

He's a laid back guy but can show his 'senior wild side' when you play a little with him or feed him, he'll show you his little ole' man dance!

He is housebroken. He goes down the steps to go outside, but still struggles going up the steps, with older legs; so the fewer the steps the better.

Does not walk well on leash and isn't interested in learning!

He's a GREAT LITTLE GUY looking to retire with a family!

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.

JR Ewing’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

More about this rescue

Needy Paws Rescue, located in St. Louis, MO, is devoted to saving animals in need, whose lives are in danger at high kill animal shelters & animal controls, those who are strays, have been abandoned or whose family has faced an extreme emergency, regardless of their size or breed.

Our organization is made up of Volunteers who have been involved in various animal rescues in the St. Louis area and we plan to use our knowledge & experience to make a difference. We believe spaying & neutering is a very important step in keeping pets healthy & happy, plus it helps decrease overpopulation. All of our rescued animals will be spayed or neutered, they will be microchipped to ensure they are identifiable if lost or stolen and they will be current on all of their vaccinations before going to their Forever Homes.

We are foster-based and all pets stay in approved Foster Homes that have passed inspections, reference checks and are qualified to take care of our rescued animals while they wait for their Forever Family. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will be making home visits and conducting veterinarian checks & reference checks to ensure the pets will have a safe, loving, happy home. Forever Families will be taught how to care for their pet and learn how to get the most out of their relationship with their new family member. We also have an after-care specialist who will be in contact with the families after the adoption to see how well they're doing together
