Meet Rutabaga!
Often and lovingly referred to as “Bagel” by his fosters, this pup really is the whole package:
smart, snuggly, sweet, and cute as can be.

 

He is fully crate-trained (no accidents overnight or while the family is out!), and like 98% house-trained. The last 2% in progress is rain-related, as peeing on soggy grass is simply not his
favorite, ha! But a little encouragement goes a long way with this guy, and foster mom is
confident he’ll get it down in no time.

When it comes to new places/people/experiences, Rutabaga can be timid at first—he puts all of
his trust in “his” people, so confident leadership & slow introductions are a must! Once he
warms up, though, you can bet he will make himself right at home. He loves playing fetch,
chasing crickets, and chomping on leaves & sticks in the yard. He’s never met a chew toy he didn’t bite, and he’ll lounge next to you for hours with his favorite bone of the day.
Rutabaga is good with the other dogs in his foster home, and would probably do well with cats
with proper introductions— this hasn’t been tested, but he tends to take his foster mom’s cues
with anything new & does well with redirection when needed!

There is so much more that could be said about this guy, he’s got a big personality & an ever bigger heart! Truly, a total catch.

If interested, please  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.

Our $275 adoption fee 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.
