Story
Theodore has the kind of big, beautiful eyes that tell the whole story. You can feel his emotions just by looking at him — curiosity, joy, love, and that quiet hope that he’s found his person. He’s a little shy at first, but once he decides you’re safe, that’s it — you’ve got a shadow. Theodore will happily follow you from room to room, just making sure he’s exactly where he belongs. (Spoiler: it’s right next to you.) This boy is an expert-level snuggler with a playful streak and the cutest little bob tail that somehow makes everything he does even more endearing. He’s doing fantastic with crate training and is settling into home life beautifully. Theodore doesn’t need to be the center of attention — he just wants to be close. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, loves quietly, and will make you feel chosen every single day. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with soulful eyes and a heart that loves hard, Theodore is ready to follow you home.  Theodore is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and will be able to join a family on or after 2/4/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org https://facebook.com/mostlymuttz PA Kennel License: 10872 PO Box 406 Gilbertsville, PA 19525 ##2619660##

Story
Simon is a gentle soul with a fun, playful side that really shines alongside his brothers. While he can be a bit reserved at first, his personality blossoms in the best ways. Once he settles in, he’s spunky, loves to play, and is a total expert snuggler when it’s time to relax. Simon also does wonderfully for bath time, taking it all in stride like a champ. Simon is the perfect mix of sweetness and personality, just waiting for a patient, loving home where he can continue to learn all of his puppy basics, gain confidence on his own and show off the amazing little dog he’s becoming. Simon is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and will be able to join a family on or after 2/4/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Simon’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2619659&name=Simon Mama Nutella and her adorable litter of “Chipmunks” — Alvin, Simon, and Theodore — just joined us and are settling into their PA foster home. Each boy has his own unique look and personality, and they’re already proving they’re more than ready to be spoiled. Fair warning: with faces this cute, these little guys won’t be available for long, so be sure to get those applications in quickly! #mostlymuttzrescue #thechipmunks #adoptable #adoptme #adoptabledogs #cutestboyever https://facebook.com/mostlymuttz PA Kennel License: 10872 PO Box 406 Gilbertsville, PA 19525 ##2619659##

Rat Terrier

Male, Young
Lancaster, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Ripp: Ripp is estimated to be about a 5 year old (as of January 2026) rat terrier mix (best guess) that weighs 28 pounds. Ripp was surrendered by his owners to Animal Control in Brownsville, Tennessee early this year after they said they just didn't want a dog anymore. Luckily Charlie’s Crusaders heard of him and were able to get him into the rescue. Ripp is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Ripp is a friendly little fellow that requires no time to get to know you. Ripp is playful and gentle and wants to be near you. Ripp is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need some patience while adjusting to a new method. We would love for Ripp to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely. If you are interested in adding this little man into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Tennessee, awaiting transport to PA ##2639006##

Story
Meet Big Hal: Big Hal is estimated to be about a 10 year old (as of January 2026) rat terrier mix (best guess) that weighs 17 pounds. Big Hal was taken in by animal control in Memphis and later acquired by Charlie's Crusaders. Big Hal is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Big Hal didn't initially take to the facilities that the shelter had to offer and was a bit grumpy during his initial stay there. However, once one of the employees there took him into her office, he grew more satisfied with the accommodations and relaxed and became a well behaved little dog. When we got him, Big Hal was walking out on a leash with no problems and was quite content to be petted by strangers. He probably wouldn't do too well in a house where he was crated much of the time. Big Hal gets along with other dogs and shows no response to cats. He's not a playful puppy anymore, but he moves around the house and yard as robustly as anyone. Big Hal is house trained. We would love for Big Hal to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely, but it is not a requirement. Big Hal is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adding this older man into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Tennessee, awaiting transport to PA ##2639005##
