Story
Miss Chloe is looking for a fur-ever home; one that has people who love and understand Terriers. She needs everyday activities to stimulate her mind and her body. She loves to go on walks. She prefers being the only dog, but may tolerate others. Older children may be a good match for her. Those who will give her space and allow her to grow comfortable with them. "Her Highness" is very intelligent. She even "talks," on occasion. Her favorite place to relax is in her "day bed" where she partially covers herself. At night, she covers herself with her blanket in her kennel. "Queen Chloe" is more comfortable with people who are at home most of the time. She doesn't like being alone.

These pups are in Normal, Illinois too!

Story
Sir Ukulele is a 6-year-old Rat Terrier with a stunning blue coat, long deer-like legs, and undeniable main-character energy. Currently 23 pounds (aiming for 15), he’s on a relatable wellness journey fueled by love… and snacks. The good stuff: • Extremely friendly — strangers are just future friends • Gives full-body, world-class hugs • Great with other dogs; would love a dog sibling • Cats and respectful kids are fine • Leash walks are great • Potty training in progress • Car rides fine (unless it’s to the vet) The honest stuff: • Doesn’t love being alone • Nail trims = absolutely not Sir Ukulele would thrive with someone who’s home often, has a calm, confident leadership style, and a sense of humor. He’s sensitive, affectionate, and deeply devoted — the kind of dog who will follow you everywhere, hug you like he means it, and make you laugh daily.
