Story
Welcome Juniorita to CCPAL Rescue. Juniorita is a Rat Terrier from the local breeder in Texas. She is a traditional Black and Tan Rat Terrier. She was born on March 12, 2026. She will be getting her vaccinations, spayed, dewormed and ready for her forever home. She will be a small dog full grown. 15 pounds or less. Juniorita was ready to do zoomies at her photo shoot. She is playful and very sweet. The breeder for this litter is closing shop due to an illness. We have agreed to help get her population down starting with the puppies. This breed is smart, loyal and the puppies are affectionate. Someone who knows this breed would be best. They are energetic so a moderately active family or more active would be best for the Rat Terrier. Juniorita would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Rat Terriers are great family pets and watchdogs for their family. Their training is easier due to their intelligence and a light touch is needed. They are a wonderfully sensitive breed and from experience want to do what you are asking. Juniorita is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We have an entire litter of Rat Terriers. They are from a breeder. We don’t have papers but they are considered pure bred pups. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport 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. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video

Story
Meet adorable & adoptable Farlee. Farlee is a quirky little charmer! He is the perfect age (4 1/2) , a gentleman who won’t chew up your shoes, but who is happy to play with a stuffie or just roll around on your lap. His tiny tail never stops wagging, and he LOVES (and we mean really loves) people! He’s also good with other dogs, though big dogs make him a little nervous. He’s also ok with dog-savvy cats, though he’s very curious about them, often to their annoyance. Farlee is what we call a "Velcro Boy" which means you're not really ever going to be alone. He would like to be as close to you as possible at all times. What could be better, right? Interested in adoption? our adoptions require an approved application--you can find the application on our website. Already approved applicants can email us at woof@austincockerrescue.org We adopt to within the state of Texas.

Story
Oscar is a 6-year-old, 20-pound sweetheart who wins friends wherever he goes. Friendly, social, and great with other dogs, Oscar settles in quickly and enjoys being part of the action. He does need a patient groomer who will take the time to build trust and make grooming a positive experience. Because of this, Oscar is looking for a home with no children under 16. With the right people, he's an affectionate, easygoing companion ready to share plenty of love and loyalty. 🐾To meet me, please fill out an adoption application on https://www.hartrescue.com/adoption-process

Story
Ruby Grace is a sweet and gentle soul looking for her forever home. This 6-year-old, 13-pound Dachshund loves to sunbathe, explore the yard, and snuggle up on the couch. She's a bit timid at first, but once you get to know her, she's incredibly affectionate. Ruby Grace gets along great with her foster siblings and is waiting for a home where she can be loved and cherished. She is not a big fan of toys but loves her "no rawhide" chews. She also loves to make a blanket "nest" in her kennel and sleep when it's too hot to play outside. She's housebroken and knows use a potty pad indoors if it's storming outdoors.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please see FAQs for current adoption fees.  DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas.
