Story
Our mama is a tiny little thing — a Rat Terrier/Jack Russell mix weighing just 20 lbs — but we were some BIG babies when we were born! We’re already tipping the scales at around 5 lbs each, so we’ll likely grow into wonderful medium-sized pups. What we may lack in size, we make up for in sweetness. We absolutely love attention and will happily soak up all the cuddles you’re willing to give. Kisses? We’ve got plenty to share! Playtime is one of our favorite times of day. Crinkle toys are at the top of our list (that sound is just too fun!), but honestly, we aren’t picky — if it’s a toy, we’re in! We love to romp, bounce, and then curl up for snuggles once we’ve worn ourselves out. We’re ready to bring love, laughter, and a toy basket full of fun into someone’s life. Are you that someone? Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Ohhh Chicken Little. This girl has main-character energy and she knows it. Once upon a winter freeze, when the streets were icy and the world felt a little too big, a tiny puppy was found wandering alone — cold, confused, and trying her very best to be brave. That brave little explorer was Chicken Little. Scooped up just in time, she traded shivers for soft blankets and discovered something wonderful: humans who keep you warm, feed you snacks, and tell you you’re a good girl. Now safe in foster care, Chicken Little is ready to find her furever home — but she’s bringing her full personality with her. She’s a classic Jack Russell Terrier through and through. That means brains, boldness, and enough energy to power a small city. She doesn’t just have zoomies — she is the zoomies. This spunky girl needs an active lifestyle and a family that understands that if she doesn’t get a job, she’ll assign herself one. (Interior decorating? Sock relocation? Supervising yard patrol? She’s versatile.) Chicken Little can be a little bossy — but in the charming, pint-sized CEO kind of way. And that face? The kind that makes you forgive absolutely everything. She’s smart as a whip and currently working on her potty training. With her quick mind and eagerness, she’s well on her way to mastering it. She would thrive with other playful, active dogs who can match her energy and keep the fun going. Cats are a little trickier — she can be very “in your face,” so a home without cats is preferred. However, with an older, confident cat and a patient adopter willing to manage introductions carefully, it could potentially work. And let’s not forget her ultra-sensitive ears. A leaf blows outside? She knows. A squirrel three blocks away blinks? She’s on it. Congratulations — you now have a built-in security system. Chicken Little survived the cold on her own, but she doesn’t have to anymore. She’s ready for a home that will keep her busy, love her fiercely, and appreciate the joyful whirlwind that she is. If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a huge personality, endless enthusiasm, and the confidence of someone who has already conquered winter — Chicken Little might just be your girl. 🐾
