Story
Eleanor is looking for a patient and trusting family that can help her navigate the scary world she is currently living in. It takes Eleanor a moment to warm up to new people but once she trust you, she will love you with everything she has. She gets funny burst of energy where she loves being chased or she will chase her tail and run in circles. If she could be glued to your side she would be. She is a silly girl with a lot of love to give. Eleanor loves cheese and one sided fetch. She has moderate energy and benefits from daily walks. Eleanor is fearful of new people and will bark until she is comfortable. Eleanor has met other dogs and is fine with proper introduction and low energy dogs. She can resource guard her things so she needs to be fed separate from any new dogs around her. Due to her fearfulness she is not recommended to live with children. Eleanor has not met cats but might be fine. Eleanor is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. All Better World Rescue dogs come with complimentary group and private training to help ensure a successful adoption. If you're interested in meeting Eleanor please fill out an application and a BWR volunteer will reach out. betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application

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.October 4, 2026, 1:16 pm

Story
‼️HELLO EVERYONE IM LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME 🐕‼️ This is my 1 1/2 yr old Dachshun is name is Scrappy doo. Unfortunate news that I cannot keep him any longer at my apartment. He’s a medium dog nd for me I thought I’d be able to spend more time with him but these dogs require a of TLC (Time,Love,Care). I’ve had him for a little over 1 year and He’s been great around other people. I’ve had family around they love him, he’s really loving. I have a 6 girls who got along with him very well. He is still young so he’s very attentive and playful he loves his snacks and treats. I don’t have the time to do the things I would like with him, Working and school. I do know he is a eager dog when it comes to seeing other dogs he’s met with my neighbors dog a couple times and they got used to each other but I’d definitely ease into a dog park. I love this dog and I really want hime to.go to a good family if you have any questions feel free to message me (xxx) xxx-xxxx .
