Meet Rufus, a handsome and cute chihuahua weighing about 10 lbs.  He gets along with other dogs and is housebroke and crate trained.

He was given up because his family had to move and couldn't take him and his sibling and mom with them. He is very friendly and likes to cuddle.

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.

Rufus’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.
