Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Penny, a charming and playful Pointer mix eagerly awaiting her forever home! Penny is a sweet girl who just needs a little time to warm up. When meeting new people, she might bark excitedly at first, but she quickly settles down and shows her true, happy self. Penny’s Pointer heritage shines through when she’s exploring – watch her strike an adorable pointer pose every time she catches a new scent! She’s a smart cookie too, clearly letting you know when nature calls by heading to the door. If you don't let her out right away, a gentle pace and whine are her polite reminders. This chill girl isn’t picky; she loves her meals and isn’t fussy about treats. She’s currently taking an over-the-counter supplement for digestion, which helps keep her feeling great. At night, Penny is a perfect kennel sleeper. She rests soundly with the door secured, and in the morning, she greets you with boundless joy and a playful spirit. Penny thrives on connection. Though she might offer a small growl initially as she adjusts to new faces, she warms up quickly. Give her a moment, and soon she’ll be nudging you for pets and snuggling close. She’s a loyal companion who will happily follow you from room to room, always mindful not to be underfoot. When playtime is over, Penny knows how to relax, often retreating to her kennel for a peaceful nap. While some loud noises can startle her, Penny is a remarkably calm dog overall. But when she’s truly happy, her tail wags non-stop as she joyfully plays with her toys! Penny needs a patient and loving family who understands that good things take a little time. Once she’s comfortable, you’ll have a devoted, fun-loving, and calm companion. Adopt Penny and let her point her way into your heart! Penny Marie is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate   to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 24, 2025, 10:24 am

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? She is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
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. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions and email us for the link to the adoption application

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.

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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hughie is a sweet and affectionate pup who loves being close to his people. He’s the kind of dog who wants to sit beside you or nap right next to you, soaking up all the love he can get. Hughie is gentle, even-tempered, and has an easygoing personality that makes him a wonderful companion. He’s partly potty trained but if a doggy door is available he uses it like a pro and is also leash trained. Hughie enjoys playing fetch, is eager to please, and has a playful, goofy side that keeps things fun. He’s smart and affectionate, making it easy for him to bond with his family. Hughie would likely do well in a home wtih someone who is home often. He hasn't been introduced to kids in his Texas foster home yet, but he loves people and will likely love children as well (slow introductions are always important). He’s happiest when he’s part of the action, spending time with his people, and getting the attention and love he deserves. Hughie is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Meet Judge (aka Freddie) — the sweetest underdog you’ll ever meet, hoping to find a calm and loving forever home. Freddie is a gentle, affectionate boy who feels safest in a quiet, predictable environment. He can be timid, especially around men, and appreciates slow, patient introductions with new people. He’s currently on fluoxetine for anxiety, has a few allergies, and past ear infections have left him a bit hard of hearing. His eyesight may be a little limited too, so sudden movements or noisy environments can startle him. Freddie gets along wonderfully with respectful dogs and friendly cats. He currently lives with a 70-lb dog and three cats and fits right in—he even shares naps with one of the cats. With his humans, he’s incredibly loving, happily trailing from room to room and snuggling into bed at night. He’s not a fan of crates, but he’s completely trustworthy when left home alone. Freddie is a sensitive soul with a huge heart. Check out this sweet  video   of Judge. And here’s another video for your viewing pleasure. He really is the best boy and will thrive with someone who can offer him the calm, steady love he’s been waiting for. Judge is from Texas.
