Story
Sammy (9 yrs, 13 lbs) is a sweet companion who will thrive in a quiet home with outdoor space and no children. We are moving internationally in June and sadly won't be able to bring her along. Sammy does well with other dogs in the home; she grew up around an older dog, and frequently stays with family who have a dog. Sammy is very smart, trainable, loves to play, and enjoys walks. On a nice day, she likes to spend hours out in the yard. She is currently on daily medication support to manage anxiety, which has helped minimize barking, reactivity to sudden noises, and general stress. On a day-to-day basis she is happy and engaged, but vet visits and stressful situations may require support (e.g. extra anxiety medication). Sammy completed a reward-based behavior modification package with Plucky Paws at our home and did very well. She made a lot of progress in her uneasiness with strangers by using training games and her food guarding was reduced by using enrichment feeding at mealtimes.

Story
Our mama is a tiny little thing — a Rat Terrier/Jack Russell mix weighing just 20 lbs — but we were some BIG babies when we were born! We’re already tipping the scales at around 5 lbs each, so we’ll likely grow into wonderful medium-sized pups. What we may lack in size, we make up for in sweetness. We absolutely love attention and will happily soak up all the cuddles you’re willing to give. Kisses? We’ve got plenty to share! Playtime is one of our favorite times of day. Crinkle toys are at the top of our list (that sound is just too fun!), but honestly, we aren’t picky — if it’s a toy, we’re in! We love to romp, bounce, and then curl up for snuggles once we’ve worn ourselves out. We’re ready to bring love, laughter, and a toy basket full of fun into someone’s life. Are you that someone? Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Poncho is a sweet, loyal guy who loves to cuddle up on the couch and take short walks. He is an older rat terrier. At his last check up, the vet found that he has a heart murmur (common in smaller, older dogs) and he is on medication for that. He is also on a low dose pain killer to help with those occasional aches and pains that come with age. He walks great on a leash, responds to his name, and sits on command. He is currently learning 'stay.' Poncho is very affectionate and always wants to be beside his person. He loves tomatoes and bananas! Poncho does okay with other dogs but does tend to be possessive over food and toys. He has made a lot of progress with this over time. He reacts well to our 2 cats but does need a slow introduction. He is 26 pounds.
