This girl is the full package — friendly, very sweet, and wonderfully social. She loves to stay active, enjoys playtime, and has that perfect mix of fun energy and gentle affection.

Story
Meet Knox, the playful little guy who proudly serves as Vice President of Puppy Shenanigans. While his sister Dot may run the gang, Knox is right behind her making sure the fun never stops. He’s a happy, affectionate pup who loves attention and is not afraid to tell you exactly what’s on his mind. Got a thought? Knox has one too. Probably several. Knox’s most impressive talent is his ongoing attempt to escape Mount Puppy Pen, a daring climbing challenge he approaches with the determination of a tiny Alcatraz escape artist. Security improvements are currently under review. He’s playful, social, and enjoys wrestling with his siblings and the other dogs in the house. Knox also lives with cats and would probably love to be friends… if they’d stop giving him the cold shoulder. If you're looking for a puppy who is fun, expressive, affectionate, and slightly convinced he's part mountain goat, Knox might be your guy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Raptor, the puppy who likes to pretend he’s the cool, calm, collected member of the group… until you get him one-on-one. Around the other puppies, Raptor acts like the laid-back observer. But the moment he has you to himself? Surprise! The chill guy disappears and the attention-loving goofball comes out. If you stop petting him, he will absolutely let you know about it. Raptor believes attention should be continuous and uninterrupted. His favorite hobby is shoe sabotage. Raptor specializes in sneaking up while you're standing there minding your business and carefully untying your shoelaces. It’s a very important job and he takes it seriously. Raptor gets along well with his siblings and lives with four adult dogs and four cats. The dogs are cool with him, and he would very much like to be friends with the cats… but the cats have not yet approved his application. If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts chill, silly, affectionate, and mildly mischievous, Raptor is ready to keep you entertained. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Wilbur, the puppy equivalent of the middle child who somehow keeps the whole household running smoothly. While his siblings are busy competing for titles like Boss of the Litter, Prison Break Specialist, and Professional Shoelace Saboteur, Wilbur has taken on the role of peacekeeper and all-around good boy. He’s playful without being wild, confident without being bossy, and chill without being boring. Basically, Wilbur has mastered the art of going with the flow no matter what the rest of the puppy crew is up to. Wilbur enjoys playing with his siblings, hanging out with the other dogs in the house, and being part of the action without needing to be the center of attention. He currently lives with four adult dogs and four cats, so he’s already getting lots of practice sharing space with a full house. If you’re looking for a puppy who is friendly, adaptable, and happy to join whatever adventure the day brings, Wilbur might just be your perfect match. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Female, 6 yrs 10 mos
Waterloo, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Phoebe is a definite Rat Terrier mix around 3-4 years of age. She was found running at large with little Rachel in Taney Co. Missouri. She is a little shy at first, but a super sweet girl. She does climb out of the pup pen that is 4ft tall so a secure yard for her to play in with a privacy fence would be great! She is a little alpha acting with other dogs, but does like their company. Active girl and super pretty too! She would make a great trail/walking partner and prefers women over men, but does warm up. ##1734559##
