Story
Snap is a bundle of energy…until he’s not. He pretty quickly transforms into a lapdog cuddle-bug. He is a 2 year old Rat Terrier & has a lot of puppy in him & he has a big desire for you to tell him he is a good boy. He is a dog for the people, less so for dogs. Don’t get me wrong, he is friendly with most dogs, but he is a bully to others. To be specific, he turns into a ninja who talks a lot of crap he can’t back up when big…really big dogs are around. He has gotten more tolerant to being the smallest dog in the room and generally, pays more attention to me than he does any of the dogs. Snap is the kind of dog that will, with enthusiasm ,ride along with you in the car, follow your every step outside, and then come inside and curl up on the couch to watch a Lifetime movie. He’s down for any adventure but he will sleep in as long as you do.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
This baby's mom was confiscated from a dirty and loud house with her 7 babies. She was malnourished using every last ounce of energy to feed her babies. SAVeD stepped in and took them in, now everyone is thriving. Momma is healthy and all the puppies are well fed and ready for adoption. Puppies come with first two vaccines, microchipped, and wormed with a coupon for a spay/neuter at our vets when they are 6 months old. Can you give them the furever home they deserves?

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pluto is a happy, 1-year-old neutered Rat Terrier weighing about 35 lbs. He’s a friendly, social young dog with a sweet heart and endless love to give. He adores other dogs, loves to play, and is wonderful with kids. While his experience with cats is unknown, Pluto has never shown aggression and tends to approach new situations with playful curiosity. Pluto is an active boy who enjoys walks, playtime, and exploring the world around him. He thrives with a predictable routine and regular companionship, and he’s kennel trained and comfortable in his crate when needed. He’s generally quiet, with only occasional barking, and he’s incredibly affectionate — the kind of dog who loves being close to his people. Pluto would shine in a home that can offer consistency, patience, and engagement. He’s eager to bond and will reward you with loyalty and joy. He would be a perfect match for an active household looking for a playful, loving companion.

Story
**Courtesy Post** Huckie is not a Russell Rescue dog. Please contact his foster mom for more information at 616-359-6321 or safeharborvet4547@gmail.com ** Huckleberries (Huckie) in Wayland, Michigan: Do you love, love LOVE terrier energy? If so, meet Huckleberries (I call him Huckie). He’s an adorable, six and one half year old, scruffy, poofy, action packed, sweet but somewhat troubled Rough-Coated Jack Russel Terrier who is looking for his people. Like most JRT’s, Huckie is a WHOLE vibe packed into a 20 pound body shaped like a furry brick that looks like he always skips leg day. I took Huckie on as a foster project to give him a second chance at life. His mom sadly had to say goodbye as she is undergoing lengthy treatment for cancer and Huckie has some very specific needs. Huckie has made tremendous strides so it is time for him to find a family of his own who will love and cherish him despite (and hopefully even because of) his unique personality. Huckie CAN live with cats and other dogs. He tolerates them and will sometimes play but much prefers people. Huckie is NOT a good choice for small children. Older kids (14+) may be ok as long as they are capable of following long term direction/rules. Huckie was abused with a shock collar when he was younger, so he does have some trauma and issues that come along with that. I can help you understand what his triggers are and help you to help him continue to learn that the things he thinks are scary, really are OK. You must be willing and able to follow positive reinforcement training techniques. He does take a medication for anxiety (generic Clomipramine), one for allergies (well controlled - over the counter generic Cetirizine) and one for urinary leakage (completely controlled - Proin). I can get his adopters these medications at near cost. He could use a dental cleaning but is otherwise healthy, neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm preventative and ready to rock and roll! Huckie LOVES to go for walks and car rides. He is excellent in his crate! He is working on becoming 100% reliable with his housetraining with accidents becoming very infrequent and he always keeps his crate clean. He enjoys his version of “swimming” in our pond and has a splash pad that is his favorite. I am looking specifically for a home that understands terriers or other similar high drive, sensitive dogs and who will engage in positive reinforcement training. He loves snuggling, playing tug and knows how to sit, shake, down and spin. Please help save Huckie’s life! I can’t keep him forever. He needs YOU. He is a sweet, misunderstood, special boy with a huge heart. Please text Richelle Smith, DVM at 616-359-6321 if you are interested in this handsome boy or email at safeharborvet4547@gmail.com I am asking a small rehoming fee and a home visit and vet reference are required to adopt Huckie. Huckie is located in Wayland, Michigan and his adopter will need to travel to that area to get him.
