Hi, I’m Tessa! I’m 3 years old and for the first time in my life I have a loving home with Needy Paws Rescue. I’m just a sweet, gentle couch potato at heart. I have lots of love to give - if you let me I’ll curl up in your lap, all 45 lbs of me! I like new dog and cat friends, and I’m good in my kennel too. Don’t you want to take me home?

If you are interested in meeting Tessa, 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.

Tessa ’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.
