Say hello to the newest foster named Merlin who is a 1 year old Pitbull. Merlin, on the left, literally just came from the pound where he was knocking on death's door as an owner surrender. He just got his first warm bath, got plenty of treats, and will find out what sleeping in a quiet home is like. As you can see, he is super dog friendly and did great with intros. Since he just came from the pound, he doesn't have a job yet, but we're working on his resume. When asked what his skills are, he mentioned hugs and kisses. And I must say, he does both very well.

If you are interested in meeting Merlin, 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.

Merlin ’s adoption fee is $195.00, 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.
