Meet Ralphie....an adorable one year old Dachshund/Wire Hair Terrier mix, weighing approx 11 pounds. He came to us from a local animal control shelter where he was found as a stray. Ralphie is very happy, friendly, lovable, kissy, and VERY puppy playful. Because of his playful energy, he would do best in a younger active home, with no small children or large dogs. Ralphie would be the most happiest in a home with another small playful dog(s) for companionship. He does not walk well on a leash, therefore, a secure fenced yard is required. Ralphie is healthy, current on his immunizations, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped.

If you are interested in meeting Ralphie, 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.

Ralphie ’s adoption fee is $250.00, 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.
