Notes from Needy Paws Rescue

Phil is currently enrolled in the 12-week Puppies 4 Parole program through the Mo Department of Corrections. He will graduate towards the end of November and will be available for adoption at that time. If you are interested in adopting Phil, please complete an application and the foster parent will contact you.

Phil has never met a stranger! He loves people and is always ready to make a new friend. Whether you’re heading out for a car ride, a walk, or a hike, Phil is happiest by your side.

He currently lives with another dog and they love wrestling and playing together. Cats, however, are a no-go for this handsome guy.

He’s wonderful with kids of all ages (be prepared for plenty of face kisses!) and absolutely lives for playtime. Chasing tennis balls around the backyard or down the hallway is one of his favorite things, so a fenced yard would be a dream for all his zoomies.

Phil is fully potty trained and crate trained—in fact, he loves his crate! He can be a little timid around things like scary vacuums or in brand-new environments, but with a little reassurance, he settles in quickly and lets his goofy personality shine.

When the weather turns chilly, you’ll find Phil rocking his favorite sweaters. In the summer, he’s just as stylish in his sun shirts. He’s equal parts adventure buddy, cuddle bug, and comedian, and he’ll happily flash his adorable little “teefers” to make you smile.

If your home could use more laughter, snuggles, and unconditional love, Phil is ready to meet you!

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.

Phil’s adoption fee is $295.00, 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.

What happens next

  1. Contact Needy Paws Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Needy Paws Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
