Feist puppies and dogs in Groton, Connecticut

Rocket Man has been in rescue for quite a long time. Some people think that means there is something wrong with the dog. Not always the case - as with Rocket Man. He is a short, stout fella who loves people. All he wants is to be your buddy - to go on car rides and hikes- and sleep by your side. He has a great personality for being your number 1. He does live with another dog, but he would need to have a meet and greet with any other dogs. Why hasn't he been chosen? We have several ordinary looking dogs who are lingering in rescue. They aren't flashy with beautiful curls or long, fluffy coats and blue eyes. They are just ordinary looking. Don't be fooled by the black or brown dogs. They can be some of the most special personalities out there. All they need is a chance to show off. And that, in a nutshell, is Rocket Man.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Meet Susye — A Young Girl Ready for a Home of Her Own Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings. Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe. For the past three months, Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard. Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is turning 8 months old this month and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds. We believe Susye may be a Feist, Rat Terrier, or Jack Russell Terrier mix, possibly with some herding breed influence. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and terrier mixes, she will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a younger, playful dog companion who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her. Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination. She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus. Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.July 20, 2026, 12:48 pm

Meet Chili, I may not be as obsessed with showing off my ears as my sister, but I think my adorable face speaks for itself! I’m a sweet, happy pup who knows how to strike a pose and melt hearts without even trying. When it’s time to play, though, watch out! I love to run as fast as my little legs will carry me. If you’re looking for a jogging buddy or a playmate who will keep you smiling, I’m your guy. Just try to keep up! I’m dreaming of cooler weather and a family up North where I can trade this Delta heat for crisp mornings, cozy naps, and plenty of adventures. All I need now is a loving home to call my own. Could that be with you? He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

"Hi there! I’m Rasmus – and I’m ready to meet my forever family! I am 1 year old, a Feist (type of terrier) mix, around 30 pounds, full of energy, and your classic playful puppy! Life is all about fun for me—chasing toys, playing tug-of-war, and zooming around the yard with my doggy friends. I'm currently living with my foster mom, dad and their 3-year-old boy who I adore! We play together all the time—he throws the ball, I fetch it (most of the time), and we both giggle (well, he giggles, I wag). I’d absolutely love a home where I can have both two-legged and four-legged buddies to play with. Kids? Yes please! Other dogs? Even better! I'm a social pup who thrives on companionship, fun, and belly rubs. I’ve got lots of love to give, a tail that never stops wagging, and a heart full of puppy joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, loving pup to grow up with your family, I just might be your perfect match. Love, Ras" Ras is a Louisiana rescue pup looking for a new life up North. Ras is crate trained and doing well with house training and leash walking. His photos just don't capture his sweetness. Please check out his videos to see Ras in action being adorable.

Adoption Donation  $ 599   Located: RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approx  2 years  old Weight: est.  23  lbs.   Blinken, now Maxine, is a young active Terrier mix.  Maxine was found as a stray puppy down south.  She is blind but is extremely well adapted.  She was more than likely born blind or became blind as a very young pup.  Within a couple of days she is able to navigate a home, including stairs and fenced in yards.  Maxine was adopted and has spent the last 6 months in a very loving home.  Unfortunately, Maxine and the family cat have not adjusted to each other at all.  Maxine is a chaser and being blind complicates things to a degree because she is not aware when her playmates don't want to be chased. Maxine's family is devastated but feel it's best to have her in a home with NO CATS.  Maxine does do well with dogs but they would need to be dogs that like to play, run and be chased!  She loves her daily long walks and has had quite a lot of training.  She would do great with a family who is home more than not and who could either continue with her long walks, hikes or who has a fenced in yard.  She currently does not require to be crated in her home and sleeps in her own bed at night.  She is well behaved but she is always very interested when new folks come over and she is working on not jumping and settling down. She has always been good meeting children but they would need to be old enough to respect that she is blind.  Maxine is spayed and very healthy other than her vision impairment which honestly, once you meet her you will see she really is not an impairment at all.    If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  kyleallyn1112@yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in.
