Story
Gatsby and others came out of a hoarding home with too many dogs living in the yard. They were all very afraid of humans who let them down. He's a tiny feisty 9lbs, and loves water! In his foster home he gets along with other dogs big and small as well as cats! His furever home has to have a secure yard (he doesn't even know what a leash is lol), another dog, and adult humans with patience. It might involve a few meet and greets first so patience begins there.if you are interested in meeting any of our dogs, please answer some questions on our website at www.lovefordogs.org/adopt-foster so a volunteer can reach out.

Story
Meet Papi, a sweet little gentleman with a big heart and excellent manners at 11 years young and 20 lbs, this Rat Terrier mix is the definition of easy living. Papi loves people just the right amount—happy to hang out, happy to snooze nearby, and especially happy to cuddle when it’s bedtime. He’s a champion sleeper who will gladly match your sleep-in schedule. Papi is generally a laid-back guy, but don’t let that fool you—walks and car rides are his JAM. He gets adorably excited when it’s time to head out, then settles into a nice, relaxed stroll (even easier when he’s walking solo). At home, he’s a total potty-training rockstar, uses the doggie door like a pro, and allows all handling with zero fuss. He’s lived peacefully with other dogs and mostly ignores them on walks, though cats are a no-thank-you for Papi. Toys are still a mystery to him, but he’s curious about crinkly ones and might discover his playful side with a little encouragement. Papi would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy daily walks, cozy cuddles, and all the love he so clearly deserves. Looking for a mellow best friend with a sweet soul and a cute little strut? Papi’s ready to meet you.

Story
Hi! I’m Jordan! I am a 9 month old, 13 pound rat terrier puppy.  I am no too sure what is rat terrier is but I do know I am a happy and bouncy little guy who loves playing with toys, sitting in laps, and getting belly rubs. I’m a little shy when I enter a new home with new people, but I warm up quickly and I get along with all dogs instantly, probably because I used to live with a lot of them. I don’t think I had a lot of rules or commands in my last house, but my foster mom is teaching me and I’m getting the hang of them pretty quickly. One of my favorite things to do is taking walks. I am now leash trained! I’d love to find a furever home with patient people, and at least one other dog to play with. Jordon is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $350, which helps cover medical expenses for the rescue. If you are looking for an adorable and sweet pup, please complete our online application at:  Application .  *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up .  January 25, 2026, 9:00 pm

Story
Meet Avery — your next adventure buddy in a petite package Avery is a sweet little girl we believe is a Rat Terrier mix with the most gentle, loving soul. While she may look bigger in photos, Avery is actually quite petite — a perfect size for cuddles and adventures! Avery is a fantastic walking and hiking companion and truly enjoys being out and about with her person. She rides great in the car once she’s inside, though she can be a little unsure about hopping in on her own at first — just another reminder of her sensitive, gentle nature. She’s a bit shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long for Avery to warm up. Once she does, she loves getting pets and soaking up affection. She takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and has shown no reactivity toward other dogs so far. She’s simply a very sweet, easygoing girl who wants to feel safe and loved. Right now, Avery is living in a kennel, and we know she would truly thrive in a foster or forever home where she can relax, build confidence, and show off her full personality. She’s ready for her next chapter — all she needs is someone willing to give her that chance. &#226&#156&#168 Interested in helping Avery?
