Phoebe

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Female, 6 yrs 11 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##

Story
Toby is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix with a playful and independent personality. Despite his round little shape, he’s not much of a foodie, but he absolutely lights up when toys come out. Toby loves to zoom around during playtime but is also perfectly happy doing his own thing and relaxing nearby.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌼🐾 Meet Ingrid — Tiny Adventurer with a BIG Love for Life 🐾🌼 Female • 3 Months Old • Future Perfect Medium Size If joy had four legs and a wagging tail, it would probably look a lot like Ingrid. This 3-month-old sweetheart is living her very best “everything is amazing!” puppy life right now. Every leaf is fascinating. Every stick is treasure. Every new smell deserves a full investigation. Basically, Ingrid approaches life like a tiny explorer who just discovered the world yesterday and plans to check out all of it. Her daily routine currently includes: • Zoomies at high speed • Wrestling matches with dog friends • Toy tossing competitions (self-judged) • Serious outdoor exploration • Random dramatic puppy naps • Repeat as needed Ingrid is very social and loves playing with other dogs. If there’s a dog nearby willing to run, tumble, or engage in a little friendly backyard wrestling, she’s ready to clock in immediately. She’s also a big fan of the outdoors and would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, hiking, camping, backyard playtime, and general adventuring. Basically, if you say the words “Let’s go!” she’ll already be at the door! Ingrid loves people too — but we do include the official puppy disclaimer: she is currently equipped with tiny shark teeth and sharp little puppy nails. Don’t worry, they come standard with most puppies and are typically used for things like enthusiastic kisses, toy battles, and occasionally investigating your shoelaces. Cats are currently unknown, but since Ingrid is still so young, with proper introductions she should adapt just fine. Ingrid would be an amazing match for an active family looking for a dog who will happily join in on life’s adventures — from hiking trails and camping trips to backyard games and evening couch snuggles once the day’s fun is done. Because bringing Ingrid home means you can expect: • Lots of laughter • Plenty of puppy shenanigans • Random zoomies across the yard • Toys scattered like festive decorations • And a lifetime supply of unconditional love 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Ingrid bring the adventure, the laughs, and the happy puppy chaos into your life. 🐶💛

Rat Terrier Jack Russell Terrier

Story
What's up, my new best pals?! My name is Ripp and, right off the bat, I wanna get a few things straight: see, whatever size you think I am, you're probably wrong. I look kinda big in my picture, but if I tell you I'm some sort of Parson Russell/Jack Russell/Rat terrier type dog, you're going to assume I'm little. Surprise! I'm neither. I'm about 21 lb and leggy. The other misconception you might have about me from my photo is that I'm a dignified fellow. No way. That sounds super boring. I'd much rather be impressively silly 24/7. I'm about a year old and I'm an olympic-level high-jumper and a three-time zoomie world champion. When I'm happy to see you, I get a bad case of the pogo-stick-legs and I bounce so high I might one day launch myself into orbit! What I'm saying is, I've got a compact body, but a larger-than-life personality! I'm energetic, wiggly, and tenacious. Terrier to the CORE. And I'm a year old, so I've got young dog energy on top of that! I'm a super cute, super fun, super friendly boy and I want to go home with someone who absolutely loves that kind of dog and is able and willing to make sure my energy needs are met! I do have my quiet moments, of course. I love to cuddle and will sometimes find ways to climb into your arms even when you weren't planning to pick me up. I'm good with other dogs (although it has to be a personality match, of course!) and have only briefly met cats. I was interested in them, but was easily distracted by the prospect of playing with my human friends. I'd like to do a more structured cat test before saying "yeah, I'm good with cats," but... y'know... it's promising. All in all, I'm a really cool dog, super cute, and lots of fun. If you're a terrier person, I'm probably exactly what you're looking for. If you're the type of person who "just wants something really chill," I love that for you, but I am not that guy. So let's do this. Come and meet your future trail buddy, playmate, daily walk motivation, and endless source of entertainment: me! If interested please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

Male, 2 mos
St Louis, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
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)

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
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)
