Story
Leonardo aka Leon came to use after his family had life changes to where they could no longer care for him. He is a super sweet boy except when grooming his face, tail and feet. He does fairly well once he warms up to other dogs, great with cats and kids. He enjoys car rides and walks. He is not a fan of the crate but goes in easily for meals. He is fostered in the Knoxville TN area but transportation to an area near you is provided by Rescue Riders LLC and included in the adoption fee.

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. Meet Zeke! Zeke is about 9 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. We think Zeke looks like a Cairn Terrier Mix of some sort -- JUST A GUESS. Are you looking for a happy-go-lucky pup? Zeke could be your guy! He's the perfect combination of "chill" & playful. His favorite activities include eating, going for walks, chasing bunnies (if allowed) and snuggling next to you on the sofa. He was a good boy for his bath & grooming, although he didn't love the clippers near his face. Can't say that I blame him! He is dog friendly but doesn't care for cats. If you have a feline friend in your home, we can cat test him. Zeke is house & crate trained, which is a huge bonus! Even if he isn't crated, he doesn't exhibit any destructive behavior. He's generally quiet but will occasionally speak up, if he's uncomfortable with a person, noise, etc. Overall, he's a really easy pup! ***NOTE: This dog will require grooming*** This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. The adoption fee is $300.00. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CK Rescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.small sweetie seeking fresh start and love! KJ NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  KJ        Best Guess for Breed:   Cairn terrier mix    Best Guess for Age:   4 years as of July 2026   SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:   16.4 lbs   Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:    Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special adoption considerations: KJ is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   KJ is Looking For:  His forever home! This small sweetie landed in the shelter due to no fault of his own but he's closed that chapter. He's eager to once again have his own humans for sniffy walks and world exploration. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed too, please. But you know what he wants most of all? To know where he belongs, to be safe and loved. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes he's stocking up - and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see KJ by your side?What My Foster Says About Me:    We will update this once he has spent time in foster care.   Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:    The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !

Story
Hi, I'm Bubbles, the ultimate people person - I want to be the only pet in your home! If you are looking for a loyal companion who thinks the sun rises and sets on you, Bubbles is your girl! This little 15-pound bundle of affection loves every single human she meets. She is a world-class cuddler who just wants to be by your side, soaking up all the attention you’re willing to give. Her perfect day? Sitting right next to you, happily chewing on a bully stick or tossing around her favorite toys. She is independent enough to entertain herself with her chew bones, but she always wants to do it right next to her favorite person. Bubbles also enjoys long walks (does well on leash except when passing other dogs) and is crate trained. Bubbles is a true terrier with a very high prey drive and significant reactivity toward other animals, especially other dogs. We suspect she may have had some tough experiences in her past that left her feeling insecure, and this reactive behavior is simply part of who she is. Because this is a deep-rooted behavior that needs to be safely managed rather than trained out, Bubbles needs an adopter who understands terrier traits and is comfortable managing her reactivity on walks or in public settings, ensuring she feels safe and secure. Bubbles doesn't need a neighborhood pack—she just needs you. In exchange for a home where she can be the solo queen of the castle, she will give you endless loyalty, entertainment, and unconditional love. Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

Story
We adopted Xander 8 1/2 years ago in Nebraska. He has always been fairly skittish since we got him at around 12 weeks old. Xander does not have motion sickness but he does not get comfortable in the car. Unfortunately, we will be moving to Italy and need a good place to re-home. He is very sweet and energetic and hates large objects and gets scared of them. We are looking for a home that is loving and patient.
