Story
Little 20lb mini/toy Australian Shepherd Pepper came to us after rescue friends saved her from a breeder auction to prevent her from having to spend her little life making profits for another breeder! She was pregnant at the time (not known by rescuers) and had her very last litter on 8/9/2024 of 5 little boys! They all are spoken for and now it is momma's turn to find the best forever, loving family :) She is a sweet girl and can be a bit shy at first but warms up quickly. She does well with other dogs and doesn't seem bothered by our cats here. She has not been around young humans so we believe a home without kiddos under teenage years would be the best for her. She does not like being kenneled, but does fine as long as she knows no one is around to let her out.  ##2240671##

Story
Piper is approximately 30 lbs and around 6 months old.  We are guessing she is an Aussie mix based on her energy and playful characteristics but it is just a guess.  She is full of energy and plays non-stop when she is not working on crate training.  While she will entertain herself temporarily, she prefers her human or another doggie friend to play with.  She loves anything with a squeaker or a rope toy. Piper has a rough play style and plays well with the medium and larger dog in her foster home while tolerating the smaller dogs.  She is working on crate and potty training.  Due to her mouthiness/rough play style, we would not recommend that Piper have small children in her home. While a fenced yard is preferred as Piper has a LOT of energy, active families without a fence will be considered.  Her new family will need to commit to training her but don't worry - she is very smart, treat motivated and is working hard on her basic manners in her foster home.                Piper's adoption fee is $300.00 which includes 3 rounds of shots, spay, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative. If you are interested, please complete the Adoption Application on our website at a4apetpantry.org Disclaimer: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of our dogs, we are only guessing at breed mix.  January 28, 2025, 4:59 pm

Story
Meet Lily Jo, a beautiful almost 2-year-old, 40-pound Aussie mix whose soft white fur and warm tan markings make her as unique and lovable as her personality! This sweet girl loves attention but is just as content lounging around and quietly enjoying the day. A sun-loving pup, Lily Jo adores lazy afternoons soaking up rays, belly rubs, and the joy of a good bone. She’s also a chatterbox who loves to “talk” to you and play with her toys. Lily Jo’s easygoing nature shines through as she befriends both humans and dogs of all sizes. With medium energy levels, she strikes the perfect balance between an active lifestyle and moments of calm relaxation. She’s great with other dogs, housebroken, crate trained, and eager to please as she fine-tunes her house manners after growing up outside. Her food motivation and eagerness to learn make her a quick and delightful student. While Lily Jo isn’t a fan of cats and needs a home without them, she thrives in an environment with a fenced-in yard where she can run and play. Are you ready to welcome a loving, loyal, and playful friend into your family? Lily Jo is waiting to fill your life with joy—adopt her today! She has gone through the Puppies for Parole program and knows many commands and other tricks. 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. Lily Jo’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.

Story
"Ruby" Red is quite the gem! Ruby is the sparkle your life is missing. She is 2yrs old, and an Aussie mix. She was found tied to a business where someone had dumped her. Her foster family believes she was abused and hit for not listening. Ruby has her faults. She gets so excited to be loved that she will jump on you. She may knock a small child down so she would be best placed in a home without children. Ruby is going to need someone with patience and understanding of what she's been through. Despite what she has been through she still shines with personality. Ruby is housebroken and crate trained. She enjoys riding in the car and going for a walk. Although she does pull on the lead. She's not that interested in toys. She prefers to give you a hug and snuggle next to you. She likes other dogs, and has not met a cat. 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.
