Story
Scottie is a 2.5 year old rat terrier (Embark -100% Jack Russel breed) that I got from a FB post on a group I follow when his original family needed him rehomed asap. Scottie was my 4th dog and now I have 5 but he is my smallest. I'm a big dog person and I now understand small dog personalities and how different they can be. Scottie gets along with other dogs and does well in a pack but he has a very high prey drive that has led to some close calls with my cats and now that my cat is expecting kittens I don't want to take the chance. If you're used to small dogs or are familiar with their personality traits then Scottie is perfect. He loves walks and being outside.

Story
Rio came to us as an owner surrender when his family was losing their home to eviction. He was one of a number of dogs in the home that needed new homes, and we were able to take 3 of them. Rio is a friendly boy who is somewhat timid when he first meets new people or encounters new situations. He warms up quickly! There's no aggression - he's just a little scared at first.\ He loves other dogs and we would like to see him in a home with at least one other dog. He was best friends with a dog in his former home, and seems to love having a canine companion or two. He would be happy to live with children 10 years old or older. Rio is a wonderful boy who will make a great family member!

Story
Meet little Minnie! Found abandoned in a motel parking lot, Minnie has definitely been through a lot in life. Estimated 10-12 years, tiny Minnie has the energy of a much younger dog! She loves a long walk, eagerly jumps up on the couch with her foster humans, and can’t resist a delicious treat. Minnie is house trained and does not have accidents in her foster home! She enjoys walking calmly on a leash and walks well with the other small dog in the home. When it comes to cats, Minnie is your girl! She happily lives and shares space with 5 cats in her foster home, even getting in her cozy bed with one sometimes! She does well with other small dogs too. Given that Minnie is an older lady, we recommend she is adopted to a home with older children (or none at all!). She lives with elementary school aged kids in her foster home, and is very behaved with them, but we think she would appreciate a calmer and quieter environment as she ages! She seems to prefer men over women in general, but once someone earns her trust, she loves them regardless! Please call (845) 414-9700 or email adopt@4LG.org to learn more about Minnie!

Story
Meet Maddie, a sweet and spirited 7-year-old mixed terrier looking for her perfect forever home. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and happiest playing fetch, splashing in the water, or snuggling under a blanket with her humans. She adores ear scritches, baby carrots, and learning new tricks—especially when treats are involved! Maddie also loves tracking chipmunks. While her recall is excellent, a fenced yard is ideal to keep her safe during her explorations. She’s a sensitive soul who thrives with a little support and takes daily antianxiety medication and Proin, both of which she often takes with cheese! Maddie prefers all four paws on the ground and does not enjoy being picked up. She would do best as the only dog in a calm, adult home—young children and other dogs make her nervous, and she blossoms most when she feels secure. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion with a playful streak and a big heart, Maddie might be your perfect match!

Story
Hello there, I’m Terry. A handsome little Rat Terrier mix, about 3 years old and 11.8 pounds. I was seen at the border of Mexico just hanging around a business all by myself, so when I was spotted again later that day, sleeping on a pile of rocks, and locals said I had no owner, I was smuggled across and am now living in a foster home in Von Ormy, Texas. I totally hit the lottery that day, now loved and cared for, well-fed, clean and happy, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready for one more adventure to find a forever home! My foster mom says I am a people dog and a ladies' man, meaning that I prefer ladies over men, and although I get along great with other dogs, I’m not playful with them. I can be a bit shy around men at first, but a gentle and patient man who will sit with me while I get comfortable would be A-okay. Otherwise, I am a very friendly little dog who would make an excellent lapdog. I am affectionate and will gaze at you with love-filled puppy eyes like you are my entire world, and although my foster mom will smother me with kisses, I don't give them in return. I only want to be near you… following you around the house, snuggling on the sofa, going for a walk to the park, or riding beside you on a road trip, while wearing my doggy seatbelt to keep me in the seat, otherwise I would be in your lap. When left home alone, I enjoy sitting on a pillow on a little bench, so I can watch the world go by outside the window. I will cry when put in a crate, but will eventually settle down. I am allowed to be free-range in my foster home since I am well-behaved, housebroken, and only bark when I need to alert you. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
