Story
Sir Ukulele is a 6-year-old Rat Terrier with a stunning blue coat, long deer-like legs, and undeniable main-character energy. Currently 23 pounds (aiming for 15), he’s on a relatable wellness journey fueled by love… and snacks. The good stuff: • Extremely friendly — strangers are just future friends • Gives full-body, world-class hugs • Great with other dogs; would love a dog sibling • Cats and respectful kids are fine • Leash walks are great • Potty training in progress • Car rides fine (unless it’s to the vet) The honest stuff: • Doesn’t love being alone • Nail trims = absolutely not Sir Ukulele would thrive with someone who’s home often, has a calm, confident leadership style, and a sense of humor. He’s sensitive, affectionate, and deeply devoted — the kind of dog who will follow you everywhere, hug you like he means it, and make you laugh daily. If you want a loyal, hilarious, big-hearted companion, Sir Ukulele is ready for his next chapter. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $275.

Story
Tiny Dog, TD for short, came to us about 6 years ago. A buddy found her along the side of a road and nobody wanted her. Already having another rescue we took her in. She's very much attached to the second dog I have submitted (Koda) a blue wheeler female about the same age. TD prances like a little ballerina when she walks. She has a cute and funny personality. She likes to cuddle and to be close to you. She gets cold easily. She is house trained but needs to go out more frequently than most dogs. Koda is the same way and I dont know if one learned that from the other or not. She does not do well with aggressive dogs. *NOTE* TD is food aggressive, she has not bitten anyone, but knowing that she is, we have never given her treats by hand. We will place them on the floor. (This has worked well in avoiding the possibility of her biting someone or nipping them, she has been that way since we rescued her, even after working with her on the behavior)
