MEET REX-POODLE/RAT TERRIER MIX – SENIOR IN URGENT NEED OF A NEW HOME ** He was heading to ACC Shelter December 4th but we were able to take him into foster** Rex has known nothing but a loving home since he was a puppy.

Story
Scottie is a 2.5 year old rat terrier (Purebred-I did an Embark test) that I got from a FB post on a group I follow. His original family needed him rehomed asap and didn't ask for a fee so I just paid them for any of his belongings (crate, food, clothes, leashes). I have other dogs and they're big (Great Danes) so a small dog was a bit outside my comfort zone but he was so cute and I thought how hard could it be. I soon realized what people say about the small dog personality is true. I have cats also and since getting Scottie I realize he has a VERY high prey drive. Scottie is the same size as some of my cats (he's 17-18.5 lbs) and tries to sniff them out and square down with them every chance he gets so they have to be separated for safety but my cat is having kittens and I can no longer take the risk. With other dogs he's fine and very playful. I don't have kids so I'm not sure about that but he loves walks and is an escape artist and will find any gaps in a fence or backyard.

Story
Meet Maddie, a sweet and spirited 7-year-old mixed terrier looking for her perfect forever home. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and happiest playing fetch, splashing in the water, or snuggling under a blanket with her humans. She adores ear scritches, baby carrots, and learning new tricks—especially when treats are involved! Maddie also loves tracking chipmunks. While her recall is excellent, a fenced yard is ideal to keep her safe during her explorations. She’s a sensitive soul who thrives with a little support and takes daily antianxiety medication and Proin, both of which she often takes with cheese! Maddie prefers all four paws on the ground and does not enjoy being picked up. She would do best as the only dog in a calm, adult home—young children and other dogs make her nervous, and she blossoms most when she feels secure. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion with a playful streak and a big heart, Maddie might be your perfect match!
