I'm Melvin, a 2 year old bearded collie.  I am really enjoying being in a foster home after living on the streets for a bit.  The first thing I did was jump on the couch and curl up with my foster mom.  While I love snuggling with my person, I also love being outside chasing the ball and taking walks.   

If you are interested in meeting Melvin, 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.

Melvin ’s adoption fee is $250.00, 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.
