Fence Required: Yes About Biscuit’s Breed: Our best guess is that Biscuit is a Jack Russell mixed breed. Jack Russell Terriers are known for their big personalities packed into small bodies. They’re energetic, clever, bold, and endlessly curious — traits that make them both entertaining and incredibly fun companions. With their strong working dog instincts, they thrive on activity, mental stimulation, and plenty of play. An ideal home for a Jack Russell is one that offers structure, exercise, and engagement. They do best with families who enjoy an active lifestyle and can include them in daily adventures, training games, and outdoor fun. A home that appreciates their spirited nature — and can channel their energy in positive ways — will bring out the very best in this lively, lovable breed. What to Love about Biscuit: Biscuit is a loving, playful, little girl who is bursting with puppy energy! She adores running around the yard, chasing toys, and being part of whatever fun her humans are having. An active family would be her dream come true — especially one with kids she can grow up with, play with, and love endlessly! Biscuit is working on her potty training and isn’t crate trained yet, but she’s not destructive and does well when left alone. She’s wonderful with other dogs, happily playing and cuddling with them, and she’s curious but respectful around cats. Her submissive, easygoing nature makes her a delightful playmate for just about any friendly pet! Smart, social, and full of life, Biscuit thrives when she’s included in family activities. She’s playful rather than timid, affectionate without being clingy, and always ready for the next adventure!

Milo is a sweet, energetic, loving, playful Jack Russel chihuahua mix. He is crate and potty trained. He loves to play and be outside. He is also friendly with other dogs, kids, and cats.

Story
Stella was found a few months ago abandoned on the side of the road. She is about 1 years old based on the Vet's evaluation. She is very sweet and a little shy. She loves to play fetch and cuddle. She does well in her crate and on walks. She is a little fearful of larger dogs, but I have been working on exposing her to new environments. She is mostly house trained but does require to be let out a few times a day. She has all her shots but has not yet been spayed. My plan was to adopt her, but I am struggling to give her the attention and care she deserves with my work hours. She really is a lovely puppy, I just think she deserves a better home than I can currently provide.

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
Meet Flora!  Flora is a 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a bright mind and an even brighter personality. She’s incredibly smart and learns quickly, especially when playtime is involved—fetch is one of her absolute favorite games! She’s happy to chase a ball again and again and would love a family who enjoys active play. Flora is house-trained, crate-trained, and she does well with children and other dogs, making her a wonderful family companion. Curious by nature, she loves to explore her surroundings and thrives with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She can be a bit timid around men initially, but with patience, reassurance, and positive experiences, Flora gains confidence and shows her sweet, affectionate side. She’s looking for an active, loving home that will help her continue to blossom. Flora weighs about 20 pounds, is spayed and up to date on vaccines. If you’re searching for a fun, intelligent, and energetic pup who’s always up for a game of fetch, Flora could be your perfect match! If you are interested in adopting Flora, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.   **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **  January 13, 2026, 8:28 pm
