Story
** ALI ATTACHES TO OWNER & WHINES/BARK WITH SEPARATION ** NEEDS COMPANION DOG *** Meet Ali, 4 yr old, 15 lb (a little overweight & still losing weight), Maltese Bichon Mix. He has the tight curls on his body. (Ali's owner lost her job and needed to find homes for Ali and the other dog in the home, Chesterfield, Maltese Mix.) Ali's a Good Boy and wants to always please you. He'd do well with another dog in the home for a companion for when you are gone. He will cry/whine/bark because he will miss you.  NO Apartments/NO Condos. He's housebroken but will sometimes lift leg in house; but is correctable if you catch him. He does walk on leash but needs a little bit more training not to pull. If you're looking for a "Constant Companion" and "Total Lap Dog", and you're home most of the day, Ali is your man!  Ali has a vet appointment on Mar 17 and will be ready to adopt after that.   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. Ali’s adoption fee is $275.00, 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. 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 Clover! Clover is an adorable 4-year-old Maltese weighing just 9 pounds. After spending the first four years of his life in a breeding facility, Clover is still discovering what it means to be a dog. He’s a little shy and still learning, but with love and patience, he’s quickly blossoming into a sweet, affectionate companion. Clover is not potty trained yet, so he’ll need someone who can guide him as he learns. He would do best in a home with another dog, as their presence will help him feel safe and supported. Clover will also need a fenced yard or a portable fence while he adjusts to his new life. Once he settles in, Clover will be your loyal little Velcro dog, always by your side with his loving, happy nature. He’s ready to fill your home with love and joy! Clover is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $325. To learn more about this bundle of joy, fill out an adoption application at istodaymydayrescue.org.

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)
