Story
Meet Bunny, a delightful 5-month-old mix who looks like a blend of Rat Terrier and Italian Greyhound. True to her name, she is bouncy and sweet, but her real goal in life is to be as close to you as physically possible. She would happily live inside your purse if she could fit! Whether you are running errands or relaxing at home, Bunny will be right there with you, acting as your devoted little shadow. Despite her young age, Bunny is already ahead of the curve; she is fully housetrained and rides beautifully in the car. She is also wonderfully socialized, having previously lived with cats, dogs, and children. However, she does have a lot to say! Because she is quite vocal, she is best suited for a detached home rather than an apartment where neighbors might hear her songs. If you are looking for a loyal co-pilot who gets along with everyone, Bunny is ready to go to her forever home as soon as 12/3, the day after her spay. We are accepting applications for this girl now, so apply for her today at www.petsnpals.org! Her adoption fee is $350 and includes her spay, vaccines, and microchip. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

These pups are in San Jose, California too!

Story
12/17/25 09:25`Lady Diana` is a resilient tripod whose amputation has healed well, and she is now medically ready for adoption or rescue. She is a very sweet, affectionate girl who loves attention and bonds closely with her people. In her previous foster home, she was housetrained, comfortable using a crate, and did very well with positive reinforcement training—quickly learning cues like “sit” and “bedtime.”According to her former foster, Lady Diana was calm and loving in the home and showed no aggression toward household members, visitors, or the resident dog. She enjoys her walks and does best in quieter environments. Her foster noted some challenges with overstimulation and reactivity on walks and around small animals, which would benefit from continued training and management.Overall, Lady Diana is a loving, eager-to-please dog who would thrive in a patient home or rescue committed to helping her continue building on the strong foundation she showed in foster care.08/26/25 13:30 4 yo female small terrier with brachial plexus avulsion to right front limb.Could improve with time and rest, may need limb amputation. Needs rescue.
