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
We love our sweet Loui so much. In the short time we’ve had him (just 3 weeks), he has shown himself to be an incredibly affectionate, curious, and beautiful puppy. He has a gentle personality and is very friendly with everyone he meets. This decision has not been easy for us. Due to our current situation — including a busy work schedule, caring for a bed-bound family member, and not having young kids at home to match his energy — we’ve realized we can’t give Loui the time, activity, and attention he truly deserves. With a heavy heart, we are looking to find him a loving home where he can thrive, play, and be part of an active family. We are asking for a $100 rehoming fee to ensure he goes to a responsible and committed home.
