Story
Hey guys, my name is Chomper, I have a unique name because I have a unique mouth. As you can see, I need a little bit of special love and attention when I first got rescued. But I got everything that I needed and now I am moving onto bigger and better things! The biggest news I have is I joined the training program and I am learning to be an awesome dog. I get to show off my skills all the time, and I learn faster than my trainer can teach me, in fact, I learned so fast that it takes three trainers to work with me because they can’t keep up with how smart I am. I really do want to find a forever family and I’m hoping that maybe my unique personality and unique look about me will capture somebody’s attention. Hopefully sooner than later, because Man the older I get the more and more that couch looks really comfy just to snooze on. so keep me in the back of your mind and maybe one day you’ll help me find my family or maybe my family will be you.

Rango

Border Terrier

Male, 1 yr 5 mos
Sonoma, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rango is a young terrier–Border Collie mix with a gentle soul and a quietly hopeful heart. When he first arrived at the rescue, he was very frightened and shut down, unsure of the world around him. But day by day, Rango is beginning to come out of his shell and learn that people can be kind. He’s still quite timid around humans and prefers to take things slow—but what’s special about Rango is his curiosity. Even when he’s unsure, he’ll bravely come up to sniff, observe, and check things out on his own terms. Trust is blooming, one small step at a time. Where Rango truly shines is with other dogs. He loves playing, running, and taking cues from his canine friends, and we think he would thrive in a home with one or more confident dogs to help show him the ropes. His Border Collie–terrier mix gives him a playful, active side that really comes alive during doggy playtime. Rango is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that understands shy dogs and will celebrate the quiet wins—because with time, consistency, and canine companionship, this sweet boy has so much love to give. 💛
