Story
Please give a warm welcome to little Penelope, who is coming north from Louisiana in search of a loving forever home and family.Penelope is a Rat Terrier/Mixed breed girl who is just over one year old and a petite 19 pounds, making her a small dog (10-31 pounds). The rat terrier is known for being sturdy and energetic. Penelope is happy to spend time making friends and playing with children and other dogs. It is not known if she enjoys spending time with cats.Penelope is working at her house and leash training. Rescue dogs should be expected to have accidents as they become accustomed to a new home, family and routines. If crate training is anticipated, Penelope requires a crate that lets her lie down, stand up and turn around. Crates should never be used for punishment, should be warm and cozy dens and Penelope should be able to go in and out as she desires during training. Her past is a bit of a mystery, but if you are open to discovering all this little girl can offer in companionship and affection, she is ready to come home with you.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Penelope is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.October 18, 2026, 7:04 am

Story
This little guy has some serious main-character features. First, there are his ears. We are not entirely convinced Sebastian’s ears are not secretly satellite dishes. They are adorable, expressive and somehow always seem to be listening to absolutely everything. He looks like someone designed the cutest little tricolor dog possible and then added a few extra-special details just for fun. Go watch Sebastian Goodfellow | Those Ears, That Charm on YouTube and prepare to fall in love with those ears—and then discover that his personality is somehow even more lovable. https://youtu.be/ftW0Djv9xio Sebastian is approximately six years old, weighs around 22 pounds and we believe he may be a Chihuahua/Terrier mix. With rescue dogs, breed and age are always our best guesses rather than guarantees. Whatever may be in his family tree, Sebastian landed at a perfect small-medium size with an enormous amount of charm packed into him. Sebastian has a wonderful, easy confidence. He navigates new situations beautifully and meets other dogs with calm, polite social skills. He has done well with dogs his size, smaller dogs and dogs considerably larger than him. Whether the dogs around him are playing, running or simply relaxing, Sebastian is perfectly content sharing the space and going about his business. He could comfortably live with canine companions, but he does not need another dog in his home. His heart throbs for people. He was also wonderful when he met our house cat. Sebastian remained polite and composed, giving us every reason to believe he could be a good match for a home with a dog-savvy feline friend and proper introductions. One of our favorite things about Sebastian is how quickly people fall in love with him. He is friendly and deeply affectionate, but never demanding about it. He will happily snuggle up beside you when affection is available, but if you look busy, he is just as content curling up on the other side of the couch and keeping you company. He has an easy, happy presence that makes him feel at home almost immediately. Sebastian is house trained, crate trained and has been a wonderful little houseguest. He walks beautifully on leash and would make an excellent sidekick for neighborhood strolls and everyday outings. He also enjoys treats and takes them with the softest, gentlest mouth. The best thing about Sebastian is, hands down, his personality. He is lively, affectionate, a little goofy and equipped with just the right amount of spunk. He has a way of making ordinary moments more entertaining simply because he is there, whether he is trotting through the house, carrying a toy or supervising the room with those highly advanced ears. At approximately six years old, Sebastian offers a particularly lovely balance. He is happy and curious, with plenty of personality and enthusiasm, but he also knows how to settle down and enjoy a peaceful afternoon on the couch. He is confident without being over the top, affectionate without being needy and social without requiring constant entertainment. Sebastian Goodfellow is simply a really solid, all-around wonderful dog. He meets the world with good manners, a happy spirit and the kind of effortless charm that makes him easy to love. Whether he joins a home with other animals or becomes someone’s one-and-only sidekick, Sebastian is ready to fit right in. We are happy to help determine whether Sebastian could be the right match for your household. Apply to adopt Sebastian Goodfellow and come meet the little dog with the unforgettable ears and an even more lovable heart. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Welcome Blanca to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2 year old Rat Terrier mix. She came in from a hoarding situation. We received 3 dogs from this case. One was adopted already and one had to go to a specialized trainer in another Rescue. Blanca has started opening up and allowing people to pet her and hold her. She never got any attention in her original home, the hoarder. She is good with other dogs and causes no issues. She is kennel trained and her response to being afraid is to run and hide. She is a timid girl and not the social butterfly. She would be perfect with a person that is more introverted and wants a pet that is also similar. Blanca would be satisfied being at home with you all the time. A small walk in the yard would be fine. She until now, has not walked on leash. She is learning to do it at our Rescue. She would like a patient owner and a quieter home. An older couple or older single person would be great. Someone with a quieter home. She would be fine kenneled away if you had a party or people over. She is not very vocal and prefers to blend into the woodwork. She is really a great dog for the right family. She is getting her vaccinations, nail trims and will be spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She could be adopted locally in Texas or we could work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1869 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video!!
