Story

Cedar is such a pretty little rat terrier weighing just 13 lbs. The bit of white around her face is the only indication that she's almost 8 years old. Cedar comes from a breeding background, where she had limited positive interactions with humans, so she's shy and skittish. If you take things slowly and give her time to warm up, she'll be your new best friend, asking for attention and belly rubs. Meeting new people, experiencing new things, loud noises, and quick movements are all scary to her. She does acclimate, but she won't let you out of her sight. Consequently, she needs a home where her people are home most of the time and one that doesn't have children as they specialize in loud noises and quick movements.    Cedar is smart and has learned her foster home's routines quickly. She sleeps in her crate at night and even puts herself to bed when she's ready. She loves cuddling on the sofa and watching a little TV with her foster mom, but sometimes, feeling a little more independent, she'll find a spot by herself. Her house-training is pretty good with reminders and a dog door, but walking on a leash is new to her and she startles easily. Nevertheless she has started to enjoy brief walks not far from home. Also, she loves to go exploring in the backyard, so a securely fenced yard is a must and having a dog door is even better. She is not big on going for car rides and does seem to get carsick.   Cedar has gotten along well with the other five dogs in her foster home, following their lead to learn the routine and lay of the land. She doesn't play with them, but she cuddles with them and seems to enjoy them and feel safer around them. Cedar would probably do best living with at least one other considerate, gentle dog. While her house manners could use a little polishing and she may always be on the skittish side, she's mostly a joy to have and cute as a button.

Story

Fill out an application at https://brokenheartsrescue.wixsite.com/mysite NOT AT ADOPT-A-PET. Meet Charlie, the brave and resilient dog in search of a hero. Charlie's journey hasn't been easy, but he is ready for a fresh start with someone who is willing to give him a chance. This special pup requires a patient and quiet home, where people are present most of the time due to his lack of socialization. Charlie would thrive in an environment without children, although he is comfortable with cats. To help Charlie overcome his fears of being left alone, he would benefit from the companionship of a grounded dog who can guide him on his path to confidence. Once he feels at ease, Charlie's wiggly nature shines through as he joyfully engages in playtime with stuffies and other furry friends. His energy level is moderate during playtime, striking the perfect balance. Charlie is fully potty trained and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. However, he still harbors apprehensions about car rides and strangers. Once he warms up to you, he transforms into the biggest cuddle bug, showering you with kisses and using his paws like little hands to try and open doors and explore his surroundings. His love for treats makes training an enjoyable process, and his progress is evident when he is comfortable and his guard is down. If you are ready to open your heart and home to an amazing dog, Charlie is eagerly waiting for the opportunity to be by your side, offering unconditional love and loyalty. Together, you can embark on a wonderful journey of trust, growth, and companionship.

Story

Parker is looking for a human who is a homebody with a hankering for some canine companionship. Parker is a great little dog if he doesn't have to meet new people. He's the type of dog who throws his wholehearted devotion to his main person(s) whoever they may be. This almost 7-year-old rat terrier is a joy when his world is predictably small and where exposure to new things and people is limited. However, pushed too far out of his comfort zone, Parker will bite first and ask questions later.   Parker's perfect world would contain no surprises. A home with children would not work for him. While he happily lives with five other small dogs in his foster home, he's still reactive to strange dogs. He might like having a canine sibling close to his size (15.5 lbs.), but he would need time to acclimate to a new dog. Because he can play rough, any playmate should be sturdy, preferably male. Parker's prey drive is so high that he even hunts down bugs. Therefore, he shouldn't live with any small pets that he might consider prey. A home with few visitors in a quiet, rural setting would be ideal. He enjoys walks in nice weather and loves exploring his yard, so a fenced area is essential. At night, he sleeps in his crate, and he's house-trained (with outdoor access using a dog door), so he can have free rein indoors during the day. However, he doesn't like to be left alone at home.   When he feels completely secure, Parker is a  sweet, loving boy, who just wants to please. He loves playing, taking car rides, and settling into your lap. To help Parker cope with the stresses of everyday life, his foster mom has sought professional guidance. Parker takes anti-anxiety medication (cost = $4/month) to help him better focus on training to handle incremental introductions to change.
