Story
Posted 11/30/25. Selah came to the Nest a little over two months ago together with her 5 siblings from a local animal shelter. At the time the puppies were just born. Selah is now almost 10 weeks old. Being the smallest of the litter she is the little runt. The mother is a miniature poodle/bichon mix (our best guess) and she was found as a pregnant stray. We don't know what the puppies are a mix of but definitely terriers like Jack Russel, Schnauzer, and such. Selah is super sweet, very smart and like all puppies very playful. She loves to play and wrestle with her siblings and she likes toys. She is very inquisitive and loves to explore and run around in the yard. She currently weighs almost about 5.5 lbs. We think she could weigh up to 15 lbs. when fully grown. Selah will need proper basic training preferably with a professional dog trainer to learn boundaries and to become a happy pup that stays out of trouble. She is already picking up the potty outside routine but will need to be fully house and crate trained. For Selah we are looking for a home where she can get all the attention, exercise and play time she needs to develop into happy and well behaved dog. Katy will be vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and micro chipped. She is also current on parasite prevention. Her adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in Katy please fill out an adoption application on our web site. If you don't hear from us within 48 hrs. please send us an email at inthenest@gmail.com

Story
Sticks is a sweet 2-year-old Jack Russell who came from the same litter as her sister, Twigs. She’s an incredibly loyal dog who loves nothing more than being close to her humans — snuggling is absolutely her love language. She’s well-mannered in the house and only chews on her toys. Sticks does have one quirk: she isn’t a big fan of other dogs. While she can tolerate them at times, she can also become territorial, and her tension with her sister has been growing. Because of this, we believe Sticks will be happiest in a calm home where she can be the only dog and receive the solo attention she truly deserves. What she does love is adventure. Sticks is an energetic, outdoorsy girl who’s always up for a hike, walk, or run — you name it. She regularly ranks as one of the top Jack Russells on the Fi leaderboards for daily steps in the whole state, and she would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys getting outside.

Story
Weight: 20 lbs Energy level: Medium. Toby loves to explore his yard or go for a leisurely walk on leash but is equally happy to stay close and snuggle with his human. Good with dogs? Yes. With respectful introductions, Toby is comfortable with other dogs. He has lived with other dogs before and would likely do quite well with another dog companion in his new home. Good with cats? We don’t know much about Toby’s interactions with cats. Good with kids? We don’t have information about Toby with kids. Older kids may be okay if they’re willing to be patient, reward him with treats, and let him warm up when he is ready. Rough housing is not his style. Medical/behavioral needs: Toby has no known medical needs. Is he house trained? Yes! Animal Characteristics: Toby is smart, observant, and likes to stay close by his favorite people. He tends to enjoy a quieter household. He shows great loyalty and will make someone a solid companion. He is wary of strangers and needs slow and careful introductions. This could mean saying "no" to the well-meaning neighbor he does not know who wants to pet him on leash during a walk or simply by moving him to a separate part of the house when strangers or repairmen come over. Toby needs time to know and trust new people.

Story
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Each dog in our rescue is in a loving foster home, where they can grow, play, and recover from their time spent on the streets or in a shelter. If you'd like to meet an adoptable dog, please fill out an application on our website, www.edcr.org. Because we are a foster home based rescue a completed adoption application is required to meet our adoptable dogs. April 8, 2025, 2:21 pm
