** NO YOUNG KIDS **

Meet PIERRE!  A Handsome Black Miniature Poodle, 7 yrs old, 13 lbs. (in process of losing about 2-3 lbs)

Pierre came from a home of physical and mental abuse but has bounced back well.

He is such a sweetheart! But sometimes he becomes growly/snippy to dogs who walk by him or bigger dogs. Does better with small laid back, calmer dog and you use 'correction' if Pierre becomes pushy   (see his video attached, taken before grooming, very sweet!)

He really LOVES his people and will sit with you often unless he is curled up in one of the beds around his foster home.

He is housebroken but every once in a while, he may lift his leg, but if you catch him, he'll stop.

Pierre rides well in the car and walks on a leash.

He plays with toys occasionally but isn't usually interested.

Pierre's Perfect Family will either have a laid back calm companion dog or be only dog, be able to sit with you often and he promises to be very excited to see you and watch you eat at the kitchen table!

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.
