FENCED YARD (no electric fences) AND COMPANION DOG REQUIRED

Auntie Em has the same caring and protective nature as her namesake from the Wizard of Oz.  She was a breeder dog with no human touch, so she is reserved and is still learning how to be a pet.

Underneath Auntie Em’s shyness though lies a heart full of nurturing affection, ready to embrace and protect her newfound human companion.

Her adopter must have a loving, calm home where she can get unwavering care and devotion.  We would recommend a home without children at this time.

Auntie Em’s home must have a secured fenced yard as she is not leashed trained, and will not potty on a leash. Her adoptive home must also have a small companion dog to help her learn. Patience and extra time for breeder dog trust training is preferred

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.

Auntie Em’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.
