Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Most of you may already know me, my name is Honey! I’m a pretty big deal around Needy Paws, quite well known! I came up from southern Missouri with my ten puppies. Unfortunately I became very, very sick and almost lost my life! I’m a mature girl, and far too old to be a momma. I would definitely be more aged as a grandma. The vet says I’m probably 10 years old, and have had a hard life. You can say that again, 10 babies at 10 years old, is hard on the body! I developed gangrene mastitis after suffering from a heat stroke, I was so ill I could no longer move! With a great medical team, and the TLC from my foster momma, I have made a full recovery! I lost most of my mammary glands and my belly now looks like a road map, but what a story to tell with my scars! I am told I’m the perfect dog! Despite being in incredible pain, I rolled with flow, Daily bandage changes and trips to the vet! I am quite spoiled and my foster mom says only the best for me! I learned how great McDonalds cheeseburgers tasted after our vet visits! I enjoy riding in the car! I do not know a stranger- I soak up all the love and pets from everyone! I like my dog friends I’ve made! I enjoy going for walks when it’s not blazing hot. I sleep in my foster moms bed most of the time and love to cuddle! I have incredible house manners and never potty in the house. My foster momma says this is a bittersweet time for her! Exciting that I made a full recovery and have a zest for life, yet she and I are thick as thieves! She told me I deserve to be the queen of a castle and get an opportunity to be someone’s number 1! 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. American Honey’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Radar 'Vegas'

Labrador Retriever

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

** CHILDREN, CATS AND SMALL DOGS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR VEGAS ** ** Vegas would do well in a home with another dog that can match his exuberant playstyle. Vegas is a 60 lb, 1-1/2 yr old, lab mix weighing and he loves to work! Vegas is very handler focused, smart, and driven, so he would flourish with an experienced owner who can give him the structure and work he craves. He came up through the Puppies for Parole program so he knows his commands! When excited, encounters other dogs or people nearby on leash, he will respond to redirection with a simple command like "sit" and then enthusiastically offer other skills he wasn't even asked for, like "sit pretty" or "down." His focus is next level, and he has a high drive for praise and food, including kibble. He would probably both enjoy and excel at the challenge of a dog sport. Vegas loves to begin and end every day with belly rubs, and loves a good couch nap with his person. He sleeps peacefully in his kennel while Mom is away (she has a camera so she can check on him) but he's only used to regularly being in his kennel for about 4 hours at a time. With plenty of enrichment in his routine, he should not have any issues being crated for a full workday. 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 $275 adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Story

Hello!! My name is Lynx and I am a big sweet puppy! I love to bounce around and am always happy. I have a lot of energy and would love a pal to romp around with. I don’t quite understand my size yet (sometimes I think I’m a lap dog), and am still working on my manners. I love snuggles and pets at all times. If you stop petting before I’m ready for you to be done, I may just reach my paw out and ask for some more. I will always let you know if something is going on outside of the house, I will be you guardian and best friend. I love going on walks, but need some work with my pulling as I get a little excited. I am house trained and kennel trained. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you.
