Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Jack is a spicy and sweet, 2 year old rat terrier. He loves balls, squeaky toys, to snuggle with his human. He is okay with dogs, cats, and kids but would really be living his best life in a home without other competition. Older children/teens would probably be fine. He was given to our family by a friend who was unable to keep him due to moving/pregnancy. We've had lots of fun with him but he recently started to get grumpy with our other dogs and needs more one on one attention. Overall, he is a super sweet guy who just wants to snuggle or play ball all day.

Story

Sweet, Shy Betty was found in a ditch in a Strawberry Patch in January 2022. She was very thin, was covered in fleas and loaded with worms. Betty is healthy, heartworm negative and is now fully up to date with vaccinations. Betty is a timid lady, she requires some time to decompress in a home. We have been working with her and she has done wonderful in her foster - really coming out of her shell. She is still a little afraid of new things but walks well on a leash with proper equipment, is crate trained and housebroken. Betty is 9 years old and 55lbs. *She will need a secure, fully fenced yard* We recommend no kitties for her and no other dogs. Betty attended obedience classes and learned how to sit / stay.

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Have you ever wanted to live with a parkour enthusiast? Like the sounds of an amateur stalker who still gives you space for whatever you're doing? Don't believe a dog can bark with his whole body? Do we have the ginger boy for you. Ralph loves making new people friends, but wants to be the only fur baby in your life. He is potty / crate trained and knows all of his basic commands. This boy is a people pleaser who is happiest while learning new things you teach him. Ralph loves his balls and stuffies and wants a furever partner who will dedicate time to play with him every day. Ralph insists on playing with older children as his zoomies can sometimes be mistaken for an out-of-control ballistic missle. He loves bacon and understands it might take an eight-hour day to bring some home. That's why he is non-destructive and completely comfortable spending time in his crate. Over the last six months, Ralph has improved his daily stroll around the neighborhood but would like to spend more time working with you on his pulling on leash. Ralph is also a busy guy who would prefer that you manage his toy collection to avoid any issues with guarding or overstimulation. His heart is so full (of worms) but treatment will be finished this fall. If Ralph sounds like the pawfect partner for you or your family, act now because supplies are limited.
