Story
Ridge is a 6-month-old, 17 lb cutie with the cutest ears you’ve ever seen and a look that’s truly one of a kind. He was saved from Louisiana and has been winning hearts ever since. Believed to be some kind of Rat Terrier mix (though we honestly aren’t quite sure), Ridge has such a cool, unique appearance that he really stands out. Personality-wise, Ridge is just as great as his looks. He’s good with all people and gets along well with other dogs, making him an easy addition to many types of homes. He’s still young and ready to learn, grow, and enjoy all the fun that puppy life brings. Ridge is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He is ready to find his forever family.  Apply at EHRDOGS.ORG and ask for RIDGE LOUISIANA (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Story
Meet little Minnie! Found abandoned in a motel parking lot, Minnie has definitely been through a lot in life. Estimated 10-12 years, tiny Minnie has the energy of a much younger dog! She loves a long walk, eagerly jumps up on the couch with her foster humans, and can’t resist a delicious treat. Minnie is house trained and does not have accidents in her foster home! She enjoys walking calmly on a leash and walks well with the other small dog in the home. When it comes to cats, Minnie is your girl! She happily lives and shares space with 5 cats in her foster home, even getting in her cozy bed with one sometimes! She does well with other small dogs too. Given that Minnie is an older lady, we recommend she is adopted to a home with older children (or none at all!). She lives with elementary school aged kids in her foster home, and is very behaved with them, but we think she would appreciate a calmer and quieter environment as she ages! She seems to prefer men over women in general, but once someone earns her trust, she loves them regardless! Please call (845) 414-9700 or email adopt@4LG.org to learn more about Minnie!

Story
Hello there, I’m Terry. A handsome little Rat Terrier mix, about 3 years old and 11.8 pounds. I was seen at the border of Mexico just hanging around a business all by myself, so when I was spotted again later that day, sleeping on a pile of rocks, and locals said I had no owner, I was smuggled across and am now living in a foster home in Von Ormy, Texas. I totally hit the lottery that day, now loved and cared for, well-fed, clean and happy, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready for one more adventure to find a forever home! My foster mom says I am a people dog and a ladies' man. Otherwise, I am a very friendly little dog who would make an excellent lapdog. I am affectionate and will gaze at you with love-filled puppy eyes like you are my entire world, and although my foster mom will smother me with kisses, I don't give them in return. I only want to be near you… following you around the house, snuggling on the sofa, going for a walk to the park, or riding beside you on a road trip, while wearing my doggy seatbelt to keep me in the seat, otherwise I would be in your lap. When left home alone, I enjoy sitting on a pillow on a little bench, so I can watch the world go by outside the window. I will cry when put in a crate, but will eventually settle down. I am allowed to be free-range in my foster home since I am well-behaved, housebroken, and only bark when I need to alert you. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
Casey is a lively 7-year-old Rat Terrier mix with a heart full of love and energy to share. This 25-pound bundle of joy thrives with plenty of playtime and exercise, so he would enjoy a home with a fenced-in backyard or a family that enjoys daily walks and outdoor adventures. Casey was surrendered when his previous owner had a baby. Highly intelligent and affectionate, Casey thrives with adults and older children who understand his gentle, playful spirit. While he enjoys the company of one other dog, he’s also happy to be the star solo act in a dog-free home. Car rides? Casey’s your perfect road trip buddy, always ready to hop in the car and join you on new journeys. Though he can be a bit shy at first, his loving and loyal nature quickly shines through once he warms up. Casey is currently on medication to help with anxiety during fireworks or thunderstorms, but with a calm, patient home, he’s on the path to feeling even more comfortable. He is housebroken, neutered, and ready to settle into a loving family that can provide the patience and routine he thrives with. Casey is a smart, sweet, and playful pup who’s ready to find his forever home. Ready to meet this lovable guy? Reach out today to arrange a visit and see why Casey is ready to steal your heart!
