Tonka is a 2.5 month old Cairn Terrier mix with the perfect blend of scruffy charm and playful energy. With a Blue Heeler dad and a 10 pound Cairn Terrier mix mom, he’s expected to stay on the smaller side but brings a big personality wherever he goes. Tonka and his sibling were found on the side of the road, but you’d never guess it from his happy, loving spirit. He’s curious, smart, and already showing that loyal Heeler side, while still being a cuddly little terrier who loves attention. Tonka enjoys playing, exploring, and then crashing in your lap when he’s worn out. He would do great in a home ready for a fun, affectionate puppy that will grow into a devoted companion.

Welcome Boscoe to CCPAL Rescue. Boscoe is a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier mix with maybe Schnauzer. He is a lower energy and a little shy. His teeth are white and clean as his adult teeth haven’t been in too long. He is good on a leash and bigger than the other two at 15 pounds. He has nice long legs so he would be a great walking companion. He is very content being beside someone and doesn’t have to be in your lap. He came from a homeless person that had about 6 dogs. The homeless person had rescued all as strays. A good Samaritan stepped up to help and called CCPAL Rescue. CCPAL took in all the homeless person’s dogs except one she wanted to keep. We will be vaccinating them and spaying them to get them ready for their forever home. This boy is not a shedding dog and is very very affectionate. He would probably look Schnauzer if he had the cut. His coat is a little course and not as soft as the schnauzer coat. He would be fine around kids but I think her best home would be with a home that someone wants a lap dog and a quieter home. He would be a great one or two person dog. He will be great company and will not require too much exercise. A small condo type yard would work for him. He is good in a crate and with other dogs. He is more vocal than his sister Merry. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transportation fee is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Meet Kaylee, a super senior Cairn Terrier with a bright spirit and plenty of charm. She is currently sporting a bit of a silly haircut after her coat needed to be shaved due to matting, but her beautiful coat will grow back in no time.Kaylee is a smart, engaging girl who enjoys meeting new people. She can be a little cautious with handling at first, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet and playful personality shines through. At the shelter, she has been both quiet and surprisingly bouncy, showing she still has plenty of life and curiosity to share.She has lived with other dogs and may do well with a respectful canine companion. Kaylee recently had dental care and is feeling much better as she looks ahead to her next chapter.While she still has plenty of energy, Kaylee would do best in a home that can offer her a soft place to land, with patience, walks, kindness, and understanding as she settles in.If you are looking to give a deserving senior a loving retirement, Kaylee is ready to meet you. If you are interested in adopting Kaylee, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm during our walk in hours. If you are unable to come during walk in times, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to check what other times/days may be available by appointment.
