Story
Hi! I'm Bulba (short for Bulbasaur), a 17 lb., 10-year-old purebred rat terrier, and my current family says I am both classically handsome and an incredibly smart boy. I know all my basic manners, plus some awesome tricks—I can spin, dance, and even jump through hoops! I used to be an "only child" who went on every hiking trip, vacation, and patio outing. Lately, my home has gotten very loud and busy with two human toddlers. Even though I am very gentle with them, the noise makes a sensitive guy like me pretty nervous. I've even had a few potty accidents because of the stress. (A shockingly rare thing for me.) So I'm ready to find a peaceful, adult-only or low-traffic home where I can be the center of attention again. I am wary of strangers and don't care for other dogs, so I really need an understanding adopter who will protect my boundaries and let me bond at my own pace. Once I know you, I will fill your life with loyalty, accompany you on fun hikes and excursions, and provide endless lap cuddles. Could you be my perfect match?

Story
Meet Sasha, this Hi there, I’m Sasha. I was born on December 3 and I had a bit of a bumpy start after being surrendered to the rescue. I’m keeping my chin up. My mama is a tiny lady only about 10 pounds so the human think I’ll stay nice and small just like her I might have a little bit of rat terrier spunk mixed in . A little about me. You might notice my soulful eyes. People might think I have sad eyes, but I’m actually a deep thinker, waiting for a heart to connect with. I have puppy energy. I love to explore play with toys and discover things I’m a lap expert. Once I’m done playing there is no where I’d rather be then tucked in your lap. I’m a world class snuggle I’m looking for a family or a person who will show me what forever really means. I’ll look up with you with those big eyes every single day to remind you how much I love you. Will you be my person?

Story
Hi, I’m Sunny. I’m a happy girl who was just waiting for the right person to love. Me and my sister were surrendered to the rescue recently and while change can be scary. I’m doing really well here. since my mom is only 10 pounds. I’m expected to stay small and portable the perfect size for adventure or afternoon naps. I have a fun spirit. I might have some Rat terrier in my DNA which means I’m curious alert and always ready for a game. I’m a cuddle bug. My favorite place in the whole world is right on a warm lap if you’re sitting down, I’ll be right there. I’m ready to learn. I’m energetic and smart. Just looking for someone to play with me and teach me the ropes and help me learn my manners I’m looking for a family or a special someone who has a lot to give and a little bit of room on their lap for a tiny girl like me. Are you ready for a little bit of Sunny in your life.
