If you need a pick-me-up or are looking for some fun, meet Erza. Her exuberance is very contagious. This lovely lady has not had an easy life, so the only explanation we have for her disposition is that her beautiful, slender frame is made up of pure love and joy.

She is crate trained, but we haven't felt the need to use one as she's been a perfect houseguest. She lets us know when she needs out. She doesn't snack off of counters or tables. She loves her treats and toys but doesn't chew on anything she shouldn't. She has a lot of energy and needs a safe place to run and play, but as long as she gets exercise, she's happy to just hang out or, better yet, have a nice cuddle.

Her favorite sleeping position is on her back, paws up. Erza often falls asleep in what we like to cal the "upside down Superman pose." She loves people and other dogs, doesn't try to eat the chickens, though she does find them entertaining to follow when they get all excited, and thinks goats are pretty neat. She loves car rides and has been in several businesses and was always on her best behavior. She may be a little much for small children but does great with anyone bigger than her. She would make a wonderful addition to any home that can give her the energy outlets she needs. We feel anyone who decides to give her the forever home she deserves will be very fortunate in deed.

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.

Erza’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
