Story

Meet Mickey – A Shy-to-Snuggly Lap Lover Mickey is a 3-year-old Rat Terrier weighing 16 pounds, and he’s the perfect mix of gentle and affectionate. He may be a little shy when you first meet him, but he warms up quickly and then his loving personality really shines. Mickey is very food motivated and especially loves chicken and beef treats — the fastest way to win his heart. Once he feels comfortable, he’s all about affection. He adores being petted, seeks out lap time, and truly loves human contact. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will happily curl up with you and soak up attention, Mickey is ready to be your new best friend. ---------- Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story

Hi!! I am Bouncer and I am definitely a youngster! I was part of a litter of puppies surrendered by a breeder and brought up from Texas. I was super scared when I first arrived at my foster home, but I am much more confident now. I like it when I am approached slowly, but once I know you are safe, I am a TOTAL Cuddlebug. As you can see in the pics, I have fallen asleep on foster mommy's chest and I try to climb in her lap ALL day long to cuddle while she is working. She is still learning what a great assistant I am, but that's okay, she is making progress. As a Rat Terrier, I am smart, attentive and loyal. Right now, I am learning basic commands and my foster family is teaching me the appropriate things to chew on as someone (cough, cough) tends to get into and chew things they are not supposed to chew such as power cords. But foster mommy says I am soooo SWEET! Please come meet me and I hope you have another confident doggy to help me learn boundaries and grow in confidence.

Story

Boss is a spunky little guy who is learning what it means to be loved by humans. He is super cuddly once he trusts his people. He is absolutely adorable and his eyes will melt your heart! Boss has a really cute, super playful personality. He loves to run zoomies in the house and yard and follows his foster mom everywhere. He is learning how nice it is to have snuggly dog beds and blankets on the couch to curl up in. Boss is guessed to be just under a year old male Rat Terrier and is ready to be loved! His foster mom thinks he was never touched by humans because he was so afraid of her when he first arrived that he growled at her. Being a dog trainer, his foster mom knows that is just nervous fear. If she takes her time and goes at his pace he absolutely loves to be rocked in a rocking chair, being lightly pet and even given kisses on his head. This handsome young man came to us from Oklahoma and most likely was surrendered to a shelter by a breeder. Rat Terriers are known to be smart, attentive and are very loyal companions. He came in with 3 other Rat Terriers and all of them were very afraid of people so we are not really sure what their history is. He is just needing a patient adopter who is willing to go at his pace and love him the way he needs to be loved. Boss loves to play with other dogs so he would probably love to have a confident canine buddy in his future home but it is not completely necessary if an adopter has lots of love to share with him. Boss loves his kennel and sleeps through the night and naps in it during the day. This handsome boy is waiting patiently to find his FurEver Family and is currently being fostered with one of our dog trainers that specializes and rehabilitates shy or unsocialized dogs. His foster mom has an amazing rehabilitation protocol to help these precious dogs and is working with all the dogs in her care on potty training, socializing with dogs and humans, kennel training, doggie door training and if time permits, leash and car training. There are lots of other dogs at his foster mom's house so we know he is dog friendly. His foster doesn't have any cats but thinks he would be fine with them if introduced slowly and properly. We also think he would be fine with older / calm children. Please consider this adorable dog as a part of your family. He deserves all the kindness and will give you a lifetime of affection. His foster mom is located in Fort Collins Colorado and wants to find a patient adopter, who is willing to do a minimum of one paid (discounted) training session with her. This training session is NOT basic obedience, but instead, is designed for rescue dogs and teaches the adopter how to work to build the dogs confidence and overcome any trauma the dog may have experienced. This training is to teach the adopter how to help the dog be successful in their new home and will help the family and this sweet dog bond and adjust to their new life together. The foster provides a discount on training to her adopters. Please apply for Boss today!!

Story

Bumper is thought to be an approximately 1 year old Rat Terrier. He is just settling in and needs time to warm up. He is very nervous of people and will need someone with experience with a scared dog. Because of his fear, he looks for escape routes and will need a secure yard. He would also do best if there was another confident dog already in your family. Bumper has learned that he likes to be petted and loves to sit next to you on a fuzzy blanket. Good with cats and dogs, but because of his fear level, should not be around children (but he doesn't bite). He has wonderful potential to be your new best friend with time. Rat Terriers are known to be smart, attentive and are very loyal companions. Apply for Bumper and come meet him today!
