Story

*Adoption fee sponsored by a generous volunteer! *Weight ~ 23 lbsMeet Poppy! Bright, spirited, and incredibly charming, Poppy is a smart girl with a playful personality and a quick mind. She loves fetch, is a great car companion, and has a blast learning games like “touch,” “find it,” catching treats, and weaving through cones. She’s also enjoyed hikes, park adventures, pup cup runs, and plenty of quality time with her favorite people.Poppy recently spent two weeks in a dog-savvy foster home, where they got to know her even better. Their report? She’s super smart, curious about everything, quite the snuggle bug, and a whole lot of fun. Once Poppy knows and trusts you, she forms strong bonds and loves being part of your world.Poppy does have some quirks that mean she won’t be the right fit for every household. She can be reactive to other dogs and busy activity, can be possessive of certain favorite things, and has some clear opinions about when she does—and doesn’t—want to be touched. She’s a good communicator, and life with Poppy gets much easier once you learn to listen to what she’s telling you.Poppy thrives with routine, positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, and people who appreciate a smart, sensitive dog. She’s looking for an experienced, adult-only home where she can be the only pet and enjoy a lifestyle that gives her plenty to do without overwhelming her.Poppy may not be everyone’s dog—but she could very well be someone’s perfect dog. If you think you might be her person, come meet her or give us a call. We’re open Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–5pm!

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Luna is an active 9 year old Rat Terrier in good health. She was rescued from a shelter in May of this year & I was asked to take 2 dogs because they came in together but were NOT bonded---as the shelter had told me. Neither of them was dog or people socialized which I also did not know. Both have gone through extensive training & are not living together anymore. Luna loves to be outside & loves to chase a ball just run & explore but she could not do that at my house because my community does not allow fenced yards. She is currently living at a Board & Train in Salinas. Her trainer also runs a farm & Luna has been fine with the other animals She is very affectionate with women but is wary of men until she gets to know them. She is not good with cats or children. She loves to go for walks & hikes. She is a terrier & will react to small animals wanting to chase them if possible but she responds immediately to her name when corrected. Luna has done VERY well with her training & her trainer would be happy to speak with any potential adopter. She is very smart & knows several commands. Her previous home must have spoken Spanish because she understands commands in Spanish. She gets along with other dogs but would prefer to have her own 'person'. We are helping Luna's current guardian to rehome her. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with her current guardian.September 19, 2026, 12:27 am

Bean

Rat Terrier

Male, 7 yrs 5 mos

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bean is a wonderful 7 year-old, 17 lb terrier mix. Bean is a classic terrier, with a big personality in a little body! He is energetic and loves hiking, playing with toys, and is very smart. At the end of the day, Bean loves cuddling and making blanket forts. Bean is an intelligent guy. He knows all basic commands, and even knows how to dance on command. He is food motivated, crate trained, potty trained, and learns new things quickly. Even though Bean has plenty of energy, he is pretty low maintenance and does well around an hour of exercise per day. Bean also does well left alone at home. Bean does well with other dogs out and about, but wants to be the king of the castle in the home. He has been indifferent around cats. Bean would do best in a home without children under 12 years old.

Story

Luna is a happy 9 year old Rat Terrier who is currently staying at a board & train in Salinas Ca. She is crate trained, loves to run & play & is quite affectionate when she gets to know you. She gets along with other dogs(unless they are running directly at her)but is very happy to run & explore by herself. No cats or kids. The Board & Train where she is living is also a working farm & she is not bothered by most of the animals there. She knows some commands & loves to walk & hike. She’s very smart & learns quickly. Would probably love scent work & a little agility work.

Shelby

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Female, 9 yrs 1 mo

Pacific Grove, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looks like: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix Female, 9 years old (estimated), 12 pounds Named after the legendary Shelby Mustangs, this sweet girl is proof that great things come in compact packages. She may not have hundreds of horsepower under the hood, but she has plenty of charm, character, and classic good looks. Shelby loves a good walk, though she prefers to set the pace. Some days she's cruising down the sidewalk; other days she wants to make a few pit-stops to sniff around. She might try to race after a squirrel, but at 13lbs, she's easy to handle. When it comes to meeting new friends, she's polite to other dogs on leash and welcomes guests into her home with a happy wag; this includes children, whom she'll happily seek out for affection. Apart from walking, her hobbies include sunbathing, chasing squirrels, and snuggling with her favorite people! She also has her potty habits down. She knows to go out during the day (preferably on a walk) and can use a potty pad at night. She's also fine with being left alone. Though she might express her distaste with a whine, she does settle down. Shelby came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray.

Selena is one of the most sweetest and friendliest dog you can ever meet. She is very mellow, quiet, and a bit shy. But she is also very affectionate, loyal, and well-behaved.

Selena has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She walks well on the leash, enjoys car rides, and loves to cuddle. She's great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and she would be a wonderful addition to any loving family.
