My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites. 

This Russian Toy Terrier came to us from a shelter when no one claimed her and she was turned in with a broken front leg.  We got her leg fixed and the rest of her basic vetting done.  She is now all ready for someone to take great care of her and love her for the rest of her life!  She's even younger than we originally thought as she's gained 1 pound (1/4 of her weight) since being with us and that doesn't happen about 6 months of age on a dog this size.  

She is sweet, busy, fearless and outgoing.  She is a dominant personality with other dogs.  The bigger they are, the worse she is. So no big dogs in the home for her.  She is dominant with the littles she meets also.  She's young so would need someone who is willing and able to curb this (we're starting that process now since she's all healed up from her surgeries finally) and maybe, hopefully, she'll calm down and quit reacting to bigger dogs in time.  
She will need someone who will keep her feathers brushed and who's able to get regular dental care done for her whole life (as with all 5# dogs).  No young kids as she's an easy target for an accident.  She shouldn't be able to fly out of your arms or off furniture even though she thinks she can!  She still needs regular trips out to potty in her fenced yard, so full time workers outside of the home won't work for her at this time.  
If you think you're the ideal home for this doll, please submit our adoption application  

We originally though maybe she was a papillon x chihuahua mix but now believe she's a Russian Toy Terrier long hair.  Link below with info about this breed. Russian_Toy_Dog.pdf

Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

More about this rescue

We are a compassionate group of volunteers that rescue dogs mostly from shelters when their time is up or when they are at capacity and will have to euthanize adoptable pets. We get many different breeds both pure bred and mixes, from very tiny to very large.
We believe every adoptable animals should have a 2nd chance at a great life. We seek commited, equally passionate adopters to provide a wonderful, loving home to our dogs!
We also believe spaying & neutering is the answer to the homeless animal population along with education.
