Story
SOOOOOO how many people remember Starsky and Hutch?? Probably not too many! But if you DO, please don't prejudice us with the "wildness" of our namesakes'! OK, we are a LITTLE wild and cute cute cute! Found in a neighborhood together at about 2-3 months old, we could have had a very different life.... however, we were found by a couple of high school boys who immediately drove us to the rescue to see if they would help at 5pm on a Friday evening. AND IT WORKED!!! We are a couple of cute boys, we are barkers and that is part of the breed- Rat Terriers are busy and smart and active and they bark! We are cute when we bark though :) We do not have to be adopted together, although we love each other and have been together our WHOLE lives.... but we can be adopted apart. We may be nervous at first if adopted separately but if you follow the 3/3/3 rule, it will take us time to adjust in our new home anyway!! (you will find a copy of the 3/3/3 rules in our medical record if you adopt one or both of us) We are waiting for the right family/families to come along and we hope that we find you or you find us soooonnnnn!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Jean is quite a gal. She is a Feist mix who is just over 2-1/2 years old and weighs 40 pounds. Jean has a medium level of energy. She loves going for a good walk or run, and then settles for a nap afterward. Once she learns the rules of the house, Jean's an easy-going girl who's friendly and affectionate. She's also a smart and responsive dog who loves to learn. She likes the company of other dogs and children aged 12 and older. She has not been introduced to cats and its not know if she would get along with them.Jean is fully house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Consistency and patience from her family will help her to maintain these important skills.The ideal home for Jean is one that has the time, energy, and desire to provide her with regular physical and mental exercise, continued socialization with people and other dogs, and lots of love. Jean is looking to be your plus-one on outdoor family outings. The adoption fee for Jean is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.July 15, 2024, 6:37 am
