Story
Welcome Sweet Oscar!   Oscar is a six-month-old, 15-pound Border Terrier mix puppy.   He is full of puppy energy and loves attention, toys, and food. Now that he is a bit older, Oscar's favorite activity is playing with the other small dogs in his foster home. Oscar has lots of energy for playtime and is very affectionate; he enjoys being a lap companion.    Oscar is housetrained and sleeps in a dog bed at night. He is crated when his foster mom runs errands, but, as a puppy, he should not be crated all day. We are looking for a forever home where someone is home often and can dedicate time to continue his socialization, basic obedience training, and active play. Oscar must have another small  playful dog in his forever home.    Oscar is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $350, which helps cover medical expenses for the rescue.   If you are looking for an adorable and sweet puppy companion, please complete our online application at: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ .  A volunteer coordinator will contact you after reviewing your submission.   *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up .  February 21, 2026, 6:19 pm

Story
Nola is a lovable, wiggly Cairn Terrier with a sweet, affectionate personality once she feels safe and understood. She’s food‑motivated, curious, and playful, and she enjoys toys, gentle interactions, and cozy downtime after she’s had a chance to explore. Nola is crate trained, has a “puppy‑at‑heart” spirit, and previously lived with her brother Leo — who is also at Lost Our Home — making her comfortable coexisting with another dog when properly matched. While Nola can be initially fearful or avoidant, she warms up beautifully with patient encouragement and tasty treats. She has shown some mild resource‑guarding behaviors around food, toys, or personal space. Because of these factors, she’s best suited for a home with older kids (7+) who can help maintain a calm, predictable routine and understand her boundaries. Nola and Leo complement each other well, so if you’re looking for a tender, spirited little terrier — and perhaps a companion for Leo as well — Nola could be the perfect match for your family. Adoption Requirements: - Older kids (7+) My adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market
