My story

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

Chispa means “spark”, and that’s a perfect description for this sweet puppy. Chispa was born on 9/28/24, and while he’s just a baby, he’s already confident, attentive, treat motivated, and learns quickly. We think Chispa is part Australian Shepherd, but we really can’t be certain since he was found as a solo pup. We do know he’s 100% adorable! Chispa will not be an overly large dog. Probably medium-sized when full grown.

Chispa takes direction well and has just started learning the outdoor potty routine. As with any young puppy, consistency and continued training are the keys to mastering good habits. Chispa has learned “sit” and is working on “stay” to wait for his food. He is very intelligent and playful. He’s able to fetch and return already! Chispa will be an excellent student at puppy training class!

Puppies can acclimate to just about anything, so cats and kids are fine as long as they can survive the teething puppy phase!

Are you ready to bring this little guy into your family?

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
