Story
Looking for a dog with personality, brains, and a whole lot of zoom? Meet Ash — a fun-sized bundle of energy with a big spirit and an even bigger zest for life! Ash came to our Connecticut rescue after being owner-surrendered to a southern shelter and transported north for a second chance. He’s now ready to find a home that truly understands — and appreciates — his lively, spirited nature. This Beagle–Jack Russell Terrier mix brings the best (and boldest!) of both worlds. He is a pint-sized boy at 16 pounds, and at 2 years old: his puppy mojo still shines. Ash loves to play, thrives on activity, and approaches life at full speed. He’s confident, clever, and yes — he has a bossy streak that shows his strong personality and classic JRT intensity. Ash will do best with adopters who can meet his exercise needs (walks, play sessions, enrichment) and who can provide consistent leadership and clear boundaries. He’s not a couch potato — Ash wants to do things with his people. In the right home, with structure and outlets for his energy, he’ll shine as a loyal, entertaining, and deeply bonded companion. Ash isn’t looking for just any home — he’s looking for the right one. A home that sees his drive and personality not as flaws, but as potential. With exercise, leadership, and love, Ash will be an incredible partner for someone ready to keep up.

Story
Sweet little Bea was running around rural Georgia with her sidekick for several weeks after apparently being dumped. Everybody in the area said they were friendly, but no one knew them so they called animal control. The girls were very bonded at first, but we feel like their first love is people. They want to love people and be loved so badly but when they didn’t have any people, they became very attached to each other. Her sidekick has now found her forever home and it’s Miss Bea’s turn now. She’s exceptionally sweet and outgoing. She loves to go for walks and rides in the car. She also loves to snuggle on the couch. Bea is 22 pounds and between four and five years old. WE ARE ONLY GUESSING AT HER BREED! She does not really have a JRT temperament but she has the size and cute little short tail. She is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm tested negative. She appears to be a very healthy and happy girl. She had a couple of accidents the first day in her foster home but now she’s doing very well with house training if you would like to be Miss Bea’s hero and the center of her world, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or Dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send you our information and application.

Story
Hi, my name is Sandy.  Some call me Super Sandy because I am such a great girl.  Others call me Sheriff Sandy, as I have made it my job to patrol the yard when I hear a noise.  We have a nice fenced-in yard with lots of room to run and a doggie door in the back door.  That makes it very easy for me to do my self-appointed job.     Only a few weeks ago, I was a homeless girl abandoned in a neighborhood behind a veterinary clinic.  This nice lady took me to the vet.  They agreed to help me and let me stay there.  After my photo session for my online post, the staff called Critter Cavalry.  Now I am the lucky one enjoying life in a wonderful foster home.  It is amazing how quickly things can change. When I am not on patrol, I enjoy time with my foster brothers and sisters.  We have lots of room to play outside and room inside to relax.  I am fitting right in.  Not long after I arrived, my foster mom came home with a little scruffy boy who was also abandoned.  We shared our stories and became fast friends.  He has been adopted.  Now it is my turn.   I would love an active family that spends time outdoors.  It would also be great if they had children and another dog for me to play with.  Since I do like to patrol, a fenced-in yard is a must.  I also tend to bark when I hear noises.  Because of that, apartment life is definitely not for me.  I ride well in the car and walk ok on a leash.  I could use a refresher course in that.  I am very smart and catch on quickly.   To learn more about me and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  I am currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  January 13, 2026, 6:14 pm

Story
Available for adoption! Greetings, Jack here! You should know I still act like a puppy and full of puppy energy. But I would love to cuddle and have a treat as well.   I have learned that I do not have too bark "me first" when meals are served as I know my bowl is coming if I just wait. I would love to have a fenced in yard (not electric) to run & play in with my furever family. (Kids would be a plus as we could wear each other out but no cats please, they scare me). So, if you can open your heart & home I will promise you unconditional love! I had a playdate with new furfriends, Jimmy & Ollie, and their Mom said I was a very good boy and easy to have as a guest and would be a great addition to any family Please send an email to the Rescue (WOW.Rescue@yahoo.com) for information & an application for my adoption. Whitey's Only Wish is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue. Donations are deductible as permitted by law.

Story
Welcome Oliver to CCPAL Rescue. Oliver is an 8-month old Jack Rat (Jack Russell/Rat Terrier). He is about 12 pounds and is a small dog with a scruffy and wire-haired coat. He is a lower shedding dog and would make a great walking companion. He is confident, social, outgoing, affectionate and adorable. He isn’t clingy but likes being held and is great with other dogs. He is in the puppy play group with girls, boys and dogs bigger and older than him. I would think his breed would love to chase squirrels out of the yard. He is good in his kennel and not overly vocal. He is getting his vaccines and will be neutered and ready for his forever home soon. He is adorable. He would be fine as a family dog with children. We like them to be 8 or older. He is fine with baths and nail trims. He is learning leash manners. He 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. Her adoption fee is 400 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 his cute video!!
