Lucy was surrendered from her family because hospice came and the family could no longer care for her. Lucy is a very affectionate little girl that loves to snuggle under the covers with you at night. She loves to walk on a leash and go for car rides. During her vetting, she was found to be heartworm positive. She has completed all vetting and had her heartworm treatment. She is looking for a family to call her own. She does have an underbite, but otherwise very healthy now. Will you be that family to give her a new life in the new year?

Jack was born in rescue after his mother was surrendered when owner passed away. He and his sister were the only surviving pups. The mother rejected them at 2 weeks, and they were bottle fed until able to eat puppy food. Jack is a good and smart little boy. He has mastered pee pad training and will start learning house training very soon. We do not allow puppies to touch ground until they have received multiple distemper parvo vaccinations. His siter is with a foster to adopt and now it's Jack's turn to find his family. Look into those eyes and tell me he isn't the most handsome little guy.

Meet Snoopy! 🐾 Snoopy is an adorable 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix weighing 18 pounds. This sweet boy was heartbreakingly dumped in front of a Good Samaritan who brought him to us for care and safety. Despite his rough start, Snoopy is incredibly loving and affectionate. He’s snuggly, does well with other dogs, and truly lives for human attention. Snoopy is ready for a forever home where he’ll never be left behind again—just loved, cherished, and spoiled the way he deserves.

Story
Welcome 4-year-old Bowser to CCPAL Rescue. Bowser is a Rat Terrier mix. We think he is mixed with Dachshund. He appears to be house trained because he doesn’t like to go in his kennel even though there is a wee pad. He is smart. He is adorable and weighs about 15 pounds. He is good on a leash and knows the sit command. He is lower on the shedding scale. He loves car rides and if he is off leash and you need him to come, you can open the car door and he will jump in. The only thing he isn’t great at is nail trims. He doesn’t like them, so we let the vet techs do that at his appointments or his groomer. He would be a great walking companion. He has lived in a home with small children and did great. We would like all the children to be 8 or older. He is very affectionate and liked it when Colin held him today. He can run very fast and he comes when you call. He is good with other dogs, even when bigger than himself. He isn’t over vocal and will bond deeply to his human. Many people love the Rat Terrier breed because of their loving nature. He is currently in Texas at the CCPAL Rescue. He is getting his vaccines topped up and will be ready for his new forever home as soon as we find his placement. We think a moderately active family would be best. He is loving and cuddly but will need a yard to play in or a walk daily to get his exercise in. He is a Rat Terrier so he will have fun checking the yard for rodents. He can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Porltand, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His 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 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Tila is about 3 years old and is wonderful around women and cats, but can be a little hesitant around men. We're not sure how she would do living with dogs, but she does well with dogs outside the home, and she grew up with a cat and got along very well with her! She loves to cuddle and can be active (for a small dog) at times!

Story
Stewie and Harry are a bonded senior duo looking for their forever home together. At 13 years old, these Rat Terrier/Shih Tzu mixes still have plenty of energy and love for their humans! Stewie, around 15 pounds, is the more people-focused of the two, sometimes smiling, begging for attention, or even jumping up when he’s overly excited to see his favorite human. Harry, about 23 pounds, is more independent but just as loving in his own way, often expressing himself with little grunts and snores.Both boys are house-trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out, whether by heading to the door or sitting up on their back legs as if to beg. They do not like being crated, but that's okay because they can be trusted free roaming. Due to some separation anxiety, they are much happier when someone is home with them and will need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).They adore their daily walks and have made great progress on leash — now happily going out 4–6 times a day for short strolls of 10–20 minutes. Walks are their favorite activity, keeping them young at heart and giving Harry the chance to show off his love for squirrels, ducks, and rabbits. Inside, however, they are mostly couch potatoes, with Stewie often curling up close to his person and Harry preferring his own spot to snooze.Stewie and Harry are good with other dogs and have done well around cats. They enjoy kids but, being seniors, would do best with older children who can respect their space.Though they may be opposites in many ways, they couldn't love each other more. If you’re looking for two sweet, silly, and loyal companions to share your life and daily walks with, Harry and Stewie are ready for you!If you are interested in these dogs, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

These pups are in Minneapolis, Minnesota too!
