Story

Hello, my name is: FrankApprox. DOB: 04/11/2021Sex/Breed: Neutered male Basset/Rat Terrier mixWeight: 36.8 lbs, but needs to lose a fewRescued from: Owner surrenderThis handsome little couch potato is a catch! Frank is looking for a quiet home with couch-privileges, squeaky toys, and endless head scratches. He’ll need a family without young kiddos running around. He can be a little reserved with new people, but warms up quickly. He is a perfectly behaved house guest: he’s house trained, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. Frank doesn’t ask for much. If you are looking for a low key buddy to hang with, he’s your guy. He has lived with another dog and cats in the past, but is very happy being the center of attention too. He enjoys his walks, which is good since he has a couple pounds to shed (he’s a foodie). Frank needs a committed family willing to help him adjust and to love him forever… could that be yours??All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story

Meet Morsel, a gentle young adult whose world hasn’t always been predictable—but who is steadily learning that love, safety, and comfort are real. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Morsel came into foster care unsure and overwhelmed. Today, she is making beautiful progress. While she still needs an understanding adopter, she’s gaining confidence more each day and showing just how capable she is of trust (and how much she wants to). She thrives on routine, has started to truly enjoy affection (often returning it with soft little kisses), and is beginning to settle into the rhythm of home life. Morsel is fully pee pad trained and is making steady progress with her leash skills, especially in quieter environments where she feels safe. She is crate trained but doesn’t need to be crated. She does well on car rides and is becoming more comfortable being picked up when needed. She’s not quite ready for a bustling, unpredictable world—but with patience and consistency, she continues to blossom. Other dogs are truly her safe place. Morsel is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, naturally submissive, and must have a confident canine companion in her adoptive home to help guide and reassure her. She looks to other dogs for cues and comfort—it’s essential for her continued growth. Because of her sensitive nature, Morsel would do best in a quieter household. Older, respectful children who understand the importance of giving her space would be most appropriate. Morsel also has an impressive (and important to note!) skill—she can climb chain link fencing like a little spider woman in the making. Because of this, she requires a securely fenced yard with privacy fencing to keep her safe while she continues building confidence. Her leash skills are still developing, so safe outdoor space is key right now. Morsel won’t be an instant, outgoing companion—but for the right person, she will be something even more meaningful. She is the kind of dog whose love is earned slowly, quietly, and deeply. And that kind of bond? It’s truly something special. If you believe in patience, in progress, and in the beauty of watching a dog come into her own, Morsel may be the one you’ve been waiting for. Morsel is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and is ready to head home. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Morsel’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2641184&name=Morsel Morsel is in our Meet Me Program: Dogs featured in our Meet Me Program are participating simply because their foster or a dedicated volunteer is willing and able to take part—this is not based on breed, personality, behavior, or how long a dog has been waiting for a home. Because Mostly Muttz Rescue does not have a physical shelter location, this program allows adopters to connect directly with the people who know each dog best. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about daily life with the dog, and even schedule an individual meet & greet at an approved location—either before applying or while your application is pending. To get started, email meet_me@mostlymuttz.org with your contact information, and the dog’s foster or volunteer will be in touch. https://facebook.com/mostlymuttz PA Kennel License: 10872 PO Box 406 Gilbertsville, PA 19525 #mostlymuttzrescue #adoptabledogs #jrtlove ##2641184##

Story

When Violet’s owner suddenly passed away, her world was turned upside down. Her single elderly mom cared deeply for her and was they were constant companions. She was left in a place of deep uncertainty, unsure of what would happen to her. Sadly, the family she was left with showed her little attention or affection and simply wanted to pass her off to someone else. She languished for 5 months after the sad death and in that time she lost weight and became very depressed. That’s when Critter Cavalry stepped in—to show Violet that she was wanted, valued, and loved.When she arrived, Violet was not only painfully thin and very scared. It seemed as though she hadn’t felt a kind hand or a gentle hug in quite some time, nor known the comfort of consistent care. Despite this heartbreaking start, Violet surprised us all. Day by day, she began to brighten—eating more than you’d ever think her little body could manage and slowly gaining the weight she so desperately needed.As she filled out, her personality began to emerge. With each passing day, she became more playful and curious. Violet is a quiet, gentle soul. She is a beautiful black and white Rat Terrier mix and weighs about 20 pounds. While she often prefers to observe from a distance as the other pups roughhouse, she’s perfectly content to quietly coexist—snuggled up on the couch, soaking in calm companionship.Violet is learning how to live life again, rediscovering trust and comfort at her own pace. She would thrive with a calm, patient, and understanding family who can continue to show her what safety, kindness, and love truly mean. What a joy she could be for a retired couple or single woman who wants to be the center of Violet's adoration and love. She deserves a resurrection in life and a solid promise of a forever place to live out her many years that she has ahead. Housebroken, non-destructive when home alone and good with other dogs and cats, this girl is a peaceful soul that will bring so much to your life.
