Story
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. Kaylee needs work on housetraining and doesn`t want to live with children.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.

Story
It's with a heavy heart that I must rehome my beautiful 8 year old active healthy small dog. Senior citizen unable to care for him any longer cannot take him for walks or give him a quality of life that he so much deserves. He loves to pretend to chase the bunnies and look out the windows and just sit beside his owner and cuddle. He is required to be in a small, fenced area or on a leash at ALL times as being a terrier breed, in an unenclosed area, he will run away. Please let me know if you can provide that. Best with a senior as he's been with one for his entire 8 years of his life. He has never been crated, and is afraid of crates. Please tell me what kind of home you could provide would it be a fenced in or an enclosed area when he goes outside? He loves to go for a walk on his leash and meet and greet other dogs so that would be a plus please serious inquiries only right now he lives in the suburbs so he's not used a lot of trucks or traffic noise , just birds

Story
Hi, I’m Thea, and I’m hoping you might be the one I’ve been waiting for.I was found roaming the streets of Tennessee with my friend Ross. Sadly, no one ever came looking for either of us, and now we find ourselves searching for something new—a forever family to call our own. Ross and I aren’t bonded, so I’m free to start my next chapter either as your one-and-only or with another friendly dog in the home.I’m a low‑key, gentle girl who truly enjoys the simple things in life. A sunny day spent watching the birds and bees, hanging out while you garden, or curling up nearby while you watch TV sounds just perfect to me. I don’t need big adventures—leisurely walks, quiet companionship, and time together are more my style.One thing you should definitely know about me: I love treats! I’m very food‑motivated and always excited for a tasty reward (or two). More than anything, though, I’m ready to give and receive lots of love. I’ve already known what it’s like to be lost and worried, and I’m hoping to never feel that way again.If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion who will happily share life’s peaceful moments with you, I might just be your girl. Please give me the forever home I deserve, so I can finally stop wandering and start belonging.Love,Thea 🐾If interested in Thea, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at Info.FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.Unless otherwise indicated, all dogs adopted through Fetching Hearts have received the following before being available for adoption:Thorough veterinary examination.All routine annual vaccinations, includingRabies, DHLPPBordetella (Kennel Cough)Heartworm TestFecal Test, DewormingMicrochipFlea and Tick PreventionHeartworm Prevention.Spay/NeuterAll dogs are quarantined for two weeks outside of the shelter (puppies four weeks) to ensure they don't break with disease.VETTING NOTE: Fetching Hearts Rescue completely vets our dogs thoroughly to the best of our knowledge based on communication with our Southern Vets.
