Story
Meet Tina! She is a 1 year old rat terrier/heeler mix rescued with her mom, sister and younger siblings after being dumped in a bad area of town. She is very submissive and a little shy at first but wants she warms up she loves belly rubs! She get's that from her mom! She is great with other dogs of all sizes but prefers medium and small dogs. The bigger dogs make her a little nervous. She is working on leash walking, potty training and crate training. She is currently 23 lbs with long legs. She is just a sweet girl looking for love and a place to lounge around! Tammy is available for adoption with Saving Grace Dog Rescue of San Antonio. The adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport. An adoption application and adoption contract are all required.

We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

**EVENT DEPOSIT PENIDNG**Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: Yes, with proper introsGood with cats: Unknown, likely yesGood with kids: Unknown, likely yesCrate trained: MostlyHouse trained: YesPeanut is friendly and affectionate, a real little sweetheart! He has a low energy level and would make a wonderful companion since he likes nothing better than being with his person, whatever they are doing.After a slow warm-up, Peanut gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being a part of the pack. He has not met cats or kids yet, but would likely get along with both if given the space he needs to become comfortable with them first.Peanut is mostly crate trained, but still needs encouragement to go inside since he would rather be with his person. He is house trained when kept on a regular schedule and he will need some more practice at leash walking.Peanut has lots of love to give a lucky family! If you're looking for a dog who will be happy to be wherever you are, Peanut is your guy!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.

Story
Trudy is a just-over-a-year-old sweetheart who made her way to Massachusetts all the way from Puerto Rico in hopes of finding her forever home. Her journey hasn’t always been easy, Trudy was found all alone in an abandoned house and in poor condition. Thankfully, a kind rescuer stepped in, giving her the second chance at life she so deeply deserved. She already knows basic commands like sit and stay, enjoys toys that keep her entertained, and is happy to settle in for the night—she’ll sleep straight through until morning. Ask her for a kiss, and she’ll gladly give you one right back. Trudy is playful, energetic, and incredibly lovable. She’ll thrive best in an active household where she can run, play, and burn off her happy energy with plenty of daily activity. With her joyful spirit and affectionate nature, Trudy is sure to bring endless love, laughter, and kisses to the lucky family who welcomes her home. Trudy has joined our extended stay program, meaning her fee has been reduced in hopes to find her forever home!Does Trudy sound like the right fit for you?
