Story
Little Sebastian is a darling little Terrier who was found on the side of the road. He was hit by a car and left for dead. Sebastian had a broken femur and received surgery. He's almost all healed up and ready for his forever home. Sebastian LOVES other dogs and is a very sweet guy. He's looking for an adult household with yard access. Sebastian also is fine with cats. He's an active little guy and super smart and affectionate. We are particularly looking to place him into a home where he will have a dog companion that is compatible to his size. Thank you for your interest in adopting/fostering. Please make sure to read the dog's bio carefully. We get to know the dogs very well to make sure, they find the right match for their forever home. Due to limited staff during this crisis, please only contact us, if you meet the basic criteria listed in the dog's bio. This dog is not looking for a foster home, but rather a forever home. Contact Ingrid (310) 480 6030 pcdrapps@yahoo.com If you'd like to meet this cutie, please fill out our adoption application: http://www.pcdogrescue.org/online_application.html

Story
Forte folks gave me the name Bebe, and it fits because I am an adorable, fuzzy little girl of indeterminate age, my vet guesses around 7. My foster mom says I am the easiest to care for of all the dogs she has fostered. I love to go on walks with her, and I have been very friendly with people and small dogs I meet (big ones, not so much). Of course, I warmed up to her right away and love to sit with her and get loving massages. I happily eat my dry kibble, and don't demand attention. I am very quiet, and hardly ever bark. If I have any fault at all, it's the fact that I won't hold still to be combed!! If you are interested in meeting Bebe please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Bebe is about 7 years old and weighs 10 lbs.] (2309)
