SECURE FENCED YARD (NO ELECTRIC FENCES) AND COMPANION DOG REQUIRED

Please meet Miss Katia…a precious little 6 year old ShihTzu weighing 12 pounds. She came to Needy Paws Rescue from a breeding facility in rural Missouri where she was abused and terribly neglected, and she was used to produce litter after litter of puppies.

Because of this awful treatment, she is very very shy and unsure of human contact, but she’s diligently working on changing that. Katia is as sweet as can be and will require a home with someone who understands the past life of a breeder dog and is willing to continue to work with her.

She also requires a home with another small friendly and playful dog(s) for companionship, along with a secure fenced yard to go potty as she does not walk on a leash. Katia is healthy, current on immunizations, heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped, and she has recently had her teeth cleaned.

If you are interested, 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.

Katia’s adoption fee is $275.00, 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.
