Hi I am Independence!  I am a 12 week old Boarder Collie mix.  My foster Mom says that I am a very good boy. I love playing with my sibling and the other dogs at the foster home.  I can't wait for someone to take me home and make me their very own puppy.  I am very laid back and smart. I am doing very well with my house training and love to sleep all night quietly in my crate.  I get along great with other dogs and children. I have never met a cat, so I don't know how I would get along with them. I love to snuggle and play with my toys. Independence​ is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.

If you are interested in meeting Independence​ 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.

Independence ’s adoption fee is $250.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
