Well hey there! Don’t mind me I’m just going to sit here all cute and stuff. My name is Journey and I am a 17 week old shih tzu. I once lived at a puppy mill and I was not given the opportunity to know how puppies are supposed to be loved and treated. My foster family says I am so silly and cute. I have a face that only a mother could love. I need a family that is willing to give me the time to understand what a family is and allow me to find my place in the world.

If you are interested in meeting Journey, 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.

Journey ’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.
