Story
Gary is a 1-year-old, 12-pound Cairn Terrier mix with a sweet, gentle, and very easygoing personality. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs. While he hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, his foster believes he would likely do well because he’s such a gentle-natured little guy. He loves being close to his person and isn’t a fan of the crate — he would much rather be near his humans. Gary was found wandering as a stray with a collar that had been placed on him when he was just a tiny puppy — and never loosened. By the time he was rescued, the collar had become deeply embedded in his neck and required surgery to remove. Today, Gary is fully healed and ready for his forever home. He’s almost house-trained and would thrive with someone who has the time and patience to continue basic training. He would especially love a fenced yard, a canine friend, and an adopter who will include him in their adventures. Gary is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and heartworm negative. After everything he’s survived, Gary remains a content, easygoing dog who truly deserves the very best.

Happy, sweet, likes everyone he meets. Housebroken. Has great energy, love to play. Walks good on a leash. Does well on car rides. Gets along well with all the dogs he has met. Big and small. We have not tried him with cats but based on his behavior he should do well with a dog savvy cat!

Story
Adopt Arctic! Arctic is a 11-month-old Chihuahua/Cairn Terrier mix with striking black and white fur and the softest little face you’ll ever meet. He came from a hoarding situation, so the world is still a bit overwhelming for him — but underneath that nervous exterior is a gentle, sensitive young pup who just needs time, patience, and love. Once he feels safe, Arctic’s personality begins to peek through. He’s curious, observant, and quietly takes in everything around him. With a calm home and a kindhearted adopter who will let him go at his own pace, Arctic has all the potential to blossom into a loyal companion. He’s never had the chance to experience what a real home feels like… but he’s ready to try. Arctic Would Love: A patient adopter who understands shy dogs A predictable, loving environment A home willing to show him what kindness feels like Arctic is ready to leave his past behind and start fresh with a family who will help him discover the world isn’t so scary after all.
