Jepp

Rat Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Tempe, AZ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jepp may be tiny, but he’s packed with personality. This little firecracker has opinions, boundaries, and a whole lot of charm once you earn his trust. He can be snappy and temperamental with new people, but after a few slow, positive meetings (three is his magic number) he turns into a loving, loyal, toy‑tossing goofball. Jepp loves to play and has plenty of energy, but he also has a soft and snuggly side. He has some quirks, including occasional resource guarding, so he needs a home with adults or older teens who can read his body language and respect his space. Jepp would do best as the only pet in the home and will happily soak up all of your attention. Because he can be reactive to unfamiliar people and noises, Jepp will likely do best in a house rather than an apartment, with adopters who understand that slow introductions and patience are the keys to helping him shine. Jepp has been waiting over a year for someone who sees past his tough‑guy exterior and believes in the sweet dog underneath. If you’re ready to take a chance on a small dog with a big personality, Jepp is more than ready to meet you! Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, only dog in home, teens 13+ His adoption fee is $260 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
Unagi is a part of our Bento Box Crew that we saved from a horrendous hoarding case at the beginning of the year. Unagi has been in foster the last few months and has blossomed into the most amazing dog. He is now ready to share that with a family of his own! A snapshot of Unagi: 🥰 Sweet, friendly and affectionate with whoever he meets 💤 Loves cuddling and taking naps in your lap 🐕 Extremely dog-friendly with big and small dogs, has excellent manners, can keep up with all types of play and is respectful of dogs who do not want to engage in play. ✅ House, crate and doggy door trained 🌟 Growing in his confidence thanks to his foster siblings Unagi would love an active home that can keep up with his youthful and spunky spirit with a fellow furry sibling. He’d benefit from a home that can continue some basic structure, routine and training. If you could be the fit for Unagi, fill out an application!

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
‼️🚨URGENT: Foster needed for Heidi 🚨‼️ Born 7/6/25, Heidi is a beautiful brindle Wire Terrier / Shepherd mix with a mellow, thoughtful personality. She’s the kind of dog who prefers observing the world from a cozy spot rather than being in the middle of the chaos. Calm, curious, and independent, she’s been taking life one small step at a time as she learns about the world around her. Heidi is happiest when she has a comfortable place to relax while her people go about their day. She enjoys watching, learning routines, and slowly gaining confidence in her surroundings. 🛋️🐾 She already has an impressive list of skills: 🚪 Fully potty trained and uses the doggy door independently 🛏️ Sleeps through the night and knows “go to bed” for her crate 🐾 Understands “go outside” and even “walk” 🍖 Food motivated and eager to learn 🏡 Safe to leave out in a tidy space — she isn’t destructive when alone Heidi is also a polite eater who prefers grazing from an auto-feeder and regulates her food well without guarding or overeating. Bath time may not be her favorite activity, but she handled it calmly and politely like a little lady. 🛁 She enjoys playing in the backyard, especially in the mornings after coming out of her crate. Right now she prefers yard time over walks, though that may change as her confidence continues to grow. Heidi does well with other dogs and coexists peacefully. When guests visited the home, she chose to relax quietly in her open crate — her safe space — rather than join the excitement. It’s a perfect example of her gentle, independent nature. Her ideal home will be patient and understanding, giving her time to settle in and feel safe. Dogs like Heidi often form incredibly deep bonds once they trust their people, becoming loyal companions who truly appreciate their home. She doesn’t need a loud or busy household — just a steady, loving place where she can relax, feel secure, and let her sweet personality shine in her own time. 🌸🐾 If you’re looking for a calm, thoughtful companion who will quietly become part of your heart and home, Heidi might be the perfect match. 🏠 Interested in fostering?
