Story
Meet Ruby – the Sweet and Serene Rat Terrier mix. Ruby is an 8-year-old rat terrier with a heart full of love and a calm spirit. She spent her entire life in a quiet, loving home until her beloved daddy was placed into long-term care for Alzheimer’s. Now, she’s looking for a new family to share her gentle soul with. Ruby is a quiet and sweet girl who enjoys leisurely walks and exploring her surroundings at her own pace. She walks beautifully on a leash and is perfectly content lounging nearby or finding a sunny spot to nap. Having come from a peaceful home, Ruby would thrive in a similar environment—one where she can feel safe, loved, and unhurried. She is fine with children and other dogs, though she’s not one to join in the chaos—she prefers doing her own thing and being a quiet observer. If you’re looking for a calm, easygoing companion with lots of love to give, Ruby may be your perfect match. Let’s give this lovely girl the soft landing she deserves.

Story
2 years old and full of energy. She is left alone when I am at work and I do not play with her much. She sleeps in the bed with me. Shy, affectionate and smart. Not housebroken. I did not want another dog, but my late wife insisted. But now I've grown attached, love her dearly, and giving her up will be hard (I've been down ever since I decided to do it). But it is not fair to her. I do not play with her. She needs to be in a house with people who will give her attention. Do not leave food or lip balm unattended as she is a very bold thief :)

Story
This adorable little girl is just over a year old and weighs about 12.5 pounds. She’s fully vetted, heartworm negative, microchipped, and making great progress with her potty training. Her adoption fee is only $25! She came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in crates in a small apartment, so crates aren’t her favorite place to be. But, it sometimes can be her safety place. Understandably, she’s still a bit nervous and learning to trust. Sometimes she’s too scared to be caught, but with patience, gentleness, and time, she’ll come around and show her true loving nature. Because of her background, she’s not a good fit for apartment living—she’ll need a secure backyard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She does best with dogs her size or larger, and would thrive in a calm, understanding home that’s willing to let her open up at her own pace. She’s not an “instant dog”—she’ll need time to trust and adjust—but once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the safe, loving home she deserves? Complete your application today at https://chloespetrescue.org/application

With his loving nature, playful spirit, and cuddly side, Gunner is ready to bring endless smiles and snuggles to his forever home. Could Gunner be the perfect match for you?

Story
Eaton, otherwise known as Missy, is an active rat terrier who was given the nickname Hoover for her quick pick-up of dropped food. She was rescued recently after having been dumped from a car in th early morning of a cold day. Her age is estimated at 2 1/2 years, and she is both house & crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night without fuss. True to her small breed, Missy has high energy levels, high exercise needs, and a strong need to hunt and chase. Missy is getting her figure back (could it be she just really had some holiday feasts somewhere?) and may have had a litter in her past. She has the cutest backside wiggle and is happiest nestling in your lap or next to you on the sofa. Missy is loving, affectionate, and she will be a very loyal family member.
