Shug

Rat Terrier

Male, Adult
Huntsville, AL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Shug was rescued from a shelter about 10 years ago. He joined our other 2 dogs (mini rat terriers). We loved on all of them. Shug watches TV and enjoys the sunshine on our back porch in our laps. He needs to be better house-trained, but we love him. We are 88 years old and moving to Assisted Living in February. We cannot take Shug with us as he would need to be walked outside and we won't be venturing outside much (I use a walker and my husband has Alzheimer's). The decision to give him up hurts so badly, but we don't have another option. Please adopt our Shug and give him a loving home!

Jethro

Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 7 mos
Huntsville, AL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Jethro 🤎🐾 A gentle soul dreaming of a second chance Jethro is a scruffy tan boy with a tender heart and a past that included living in a hoarding case with 30 dogs—far too many for any pup. While that life was overwhelming, it also taught Jethro something important: he feels safest and happiest with a dog friend by his side. Jethro is shy at first and still building confidence, but having a calm canine companion helps him feel secure and brave. With patience, consistency, and a loving home, this sweet boy will continue to blossom. Because he can be a bit of a flight risk, he’ll need a careful, understanding adopter who can help him feel safe as he settles in. Jethro doesn’t ask for much—just kindness, a dog buddy, and someone willing to give him the time he deserves. Can you help make Jethro’s dreams come true and give him the chance he’s been waiting for? 💕🐶

Story
Meet Rowdy, a charming white Terrier mix who is living proof that you can’t always judge a book by its cover! Despite his adventurous name, Rowdy is actually a gentle, sweet-natured fellow who specializes in kindness. He has that bright, classic Terrier look with a snowy white coat that’s just waiting for some pets. Rowdy is a "best of both worlds" kind of guy—he’s happy to join you for a pleasant stroll around the block, but he’s just as content to settle in for a long afternoon of relaxation. With his endearing personality and "happy-to-be-here" attitude, he’s a true gentleman who is ready to bring a lot of love to a very lucky home.
