Without further ado I would like to introduce Irene to you! She is a 6 and a half year old female Maltese. She has not had the best life up until recently. She was thankfully surrendered into Needy Paws care from a puppy mill. With her story comes some special things. She never had any type of dental care so she has no teeth. You wouldn’t know it because she never skipped a beat in eating. She has never known what it was to be a dog so she is still in the process of learning that. She needs a family that is extremely patient and understanding. She needs people that are willing to spend the time with her to show her the perks of being a pet. She really loves other dogs and feeds off their energy. She has never had an issue with her human foster sisters who are 10 and 8.  Irene is learning all about walks, kindness and love. Would you like to spend your social distancing with her?!?

If you are interested in meeting Irene, 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.
