Story
Meet Anemone! This sweet 1-year-old Jack Russell/Boxer mix is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly affection. Weighing in at around 30 pounds, Anemone is just the right size for all kinds of adventures, whether it’s playing fetch, chasing after toys, or just lounging on the couch with his favorite humans. Anemone was adopted as a puppy from a local shelter and was found as a stray at 1 yr old. After his previous owner never came forward to claim him we learned that he was heartworm and erlichia positive. He has been through treatment and will have no lasting effects. He’s a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs, so if you’ve got a furry friend at home, he’ll fit right in! Anemone absolutely thrives on attention from his people—he’s always ready for rubs and playtime. If you aren’t paying attention to him he uses his Boxer hands to grab your arm for pets! He’s got a heart full of love to give and is looking for a family who will share in his excitement for life. Anemone is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip and neuter.

Story
Please contact Mamie Hall (mamie.hall@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl seeking fresh start and love! TINA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:  Tina        Best Guess for Breed:  Jack Russell terrier and Chihuahua mix Best Guess for Age: 1 Year Old       SEX: Female   Approximate Weight:  15 Pounds   Gets Along With:   Tina does well with other dogs! Because she is shy, Tina also needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog to teach her the world isn't so scary. We haven't seen her with cats, but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at: DC area; Tina needs a forever home!   Special adoption considerations:  Because Tina is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Tina in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.   Tina is Looking For:   Her forever home! This sweet girl is eager to have her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps, and all the adventures they can dream up! And she wants to explore all the toys to see what she likes best. And cuddles and snuggles!   Tina's got so many adoring gazes and little tail wags, so much loyalty and love in her for her new humans.  What do you say? Does she get to see the world with you? Do you get all the love she has to offer? What My Foster Says About Me:  Tina is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle her person! She is also very playful and loves to romp. She can be afraid when left alone or around new people and dogs, so she needs someone with time and patience to help her come out of her shell.    Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at      www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!     Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs! To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org!

Story
  If you are in search of a loving, yet active little dog, then you have found just the right girl!  Bonnie is a young, one year old, 18 pound, Jack Russell who is spunky and happy and oh so cuddly.  She is the total package of smart, quick to learn, and easy to love.  Bonnie is a little shy when you first meet her, but we guarantee she will warm up fast. She loves to play with other dogs and pull out all the toys at the foster home. And what a cuddle bug she is who longs to be someone’s very special little girl.  She is still working on her house training, but is crate trained for short periods.  No, 8 hour long crate time will work for her.  As you can imagine with an active dog, a fenced in yard would work best.  Bonnie would also love to have her new family home most of the time because she loves her people.  We are recommending that she be with an active family as she loves to see new sights and is ready for travel adventures and car rides.  She is on the go and ready to love you!  Bonnie is your girl if you are checking all her boxes.  Please write to ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  Please mention where you live:  city and state.  She is currently in Nashville, Tn with Critter Cavalry Rescue and we transport to the northeast on weekend.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comFebruary 26, 2025, 8:42 pm

Story
  When you love the Jack Russell breed of dog then you try to find that pure love to adopt.  Well Clyde is a very sweet dog but yet he is the shy type that will be oh so loving of a boy that will make you feel like you the most special person in the world.  He is just a year old and 17 pounds and he loves to play with toys that squeak and crunch. He is an active Jack Russell breed that needs a fenced in yard so he can run around and play with others safely. When it comes to cuddles….we all love that with our dogs, Clyde gives you the best cuddles that results when you “sit” he wants to be in your lap.  We will admit that he is not totally house trained and so that is a work in progress. He is crate trained as long as not being left for long hours cause of his age.   He walks on a leash as amateur but worked with it. He loves to go for long walks and see new things.   When it comes to feeling secure with a family, he is Ok with children who are respectable and who want to give him gentle and loving hugs. The Jack Russell breed is an active and vibrant one of colorful moods and playful antics.  They can be loving and snuggly and then zooming around the backyard with the energy that you wish you still had in your body.  They are invigorating and challenging to kind of up your anty so to speak.  They can help  you be more determined every day to be more focused and productive.   We love the active dogs that bring a zest to the pace of life and an intelligence that will keep you thinking great thoughts and making great strides in life.  If you are interested in Clyde the Slyde… please email at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and let us know where you live and a little more about yourself and why a JRT like Clyde is right up your alley!   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 14, 2025, 8:28 pm

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Lani at Lanihtar@gmail.com ADOPTION FEE: $475. This fee INCLUDES spay/neuter and microchip. **Ask me about our many adoption benefits that include free exams, pet insurance, training and other discounts! ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 20 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Gabe should be an only dog. He has met dogs and are fine with some, but would rather be on his own. KNOWN WITH CATS: We're not sure how Gabe is with cats. Let us know if you'd like us to find out! KNOWN WITH KIDS: Gabe is still a bit shy meeting new people so right now, we'd recommend older teens or just adults for Gabe KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Gabe settles nicely in his crate. He is house trained. KNOWN LIKES: Liver treats, people that go at his pace KNOWN DISLIKES: People moving too fast with him About Gabe: Gabe is an 8-year-old terrier mix who was returned to Homeward Trails due to his medical requirements. He was diagnosed with pulmonary edema, which causes fluid accumulation in his lungs. At present, he is receiving medication to help control his condition. Despite having pulmonary edema, Gabe enjoys his favorite activities, such as lounging on his bed with his toys, soaking up the sun by the windows, following his foster mother around the condo, and exploring the outdoors for interesting scents. He often pauses to observe passing cars or sanitation trucks. Gabe would thrive in a household where he is the sole dog or with other dogs that understand his need for rest, as he tends to sleep for the majority of the day. He is a gentle and affectionate dog who appreciates short walks and cuddling with his human companions. Gabe is not particularly enthusiastic about long walks and prefers the comfort of a warm, cozy home. During his walks, he has shown little interest in other dogs; when he encounters one, he typically stops and watches. It is recommended for him to have access to a yard, as he experiences anxiety when walking outside. Gabe closely follows his foster around the house and rarely barks, spending most of his time resting. He only barks in response to noises in the hallway but can be easily redirected, even when barking at dogs outside. Gabe is a sweet and affectionate companion who is simple to care for. What does Gabe cherish the most? He loves spending time with people and cuddling with them. Could you be his forever person? If so, please submit an application.
