Story
Lil’ Bugger is a 2‑year‑old Rat Terrier mix weighing 10 pounds. This small guy may be very cautious around new people, but with patience and understanding, he has the ability to form meaningful, trusting bonds. Lil’ Bugger will need a calm, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Once he feels safe, his personality begins to shine, and he settles in nicely with those who respect his pace. He does well with the dogs in his social group, which helps boost his confidence and comfort level. With the right home—one that offers consistency, kindness, and patience—Lil’ Bugger has the potential to become a devoted companion. He’s looking for someone willing to see past first impressions and give him the chance he deserves.

Story
Clawed is a 1‑year‑old Rat Terrier mix weighing 14 pounds. This sweet boy is very shy at first, but once he warms up, his true personality shines through. As Clawed gains confidence, he becomes an affectionate, playful companion who enjoys spending time with people he trusts. He does well with the dogs in his social group and would thrive in a patient, loving home that allows him the time and space he needs to feel safe.

Story
Sage is a female tricolor chihuahua/rat terrier or similar mix. We estimate her to be 2 years old and she weighs 7-8 lbs. Sage is spayed, vaccinated and heartworm negative. She is ready for adoption. Sage was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with several other dogs 2/12/2026. Sage is a little shy, but warms up in a few days.. She is sweet and gentle with an alert, intelligent face. Sage gets along well with her sister Basil and they could be adopted together if someone is looking for a pair, but we also think they can thrive separately given the right opportunity. Sage is dog and cat friendly. She is also potty and kennel trained. Adoption fee is $250.

Basil is a female tricolor chihuahua/rat terrier or similar mix. We estimate her to be 2 years old and she weighs 7-8 lbs. Basil is spayed, vaccinated and heartworm negative. She is ready for adoption. Basil was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with several other dogs 2/12/2026. Basil remains the most skittish and nervous of the group. She is sweet because she has been pushed to her limits of being scared and will not bite if approached carefully, but Basil will need time patience and safe containment while she learns to trust someone in a new home. Basil is a precious little girl with beautiful facial expressions and a happy way about her once she relaxes. She gets along well with her sister Sage and they could be adopted together if someone is looking for a pair, but we also think they can thrive separately given the right opportunity. Basil is dog and cat friendly. She is also potty and kennel trained. Adoption fee is $250.
