We found this sweet dog abandoned and have been caring for her while trying to find her owner. Unfortunately, we are unable to keep her long-term, so we are looking for a loving and responsible home. She is very friendly.

Story
Julia is a calm and easy-going girl who seems to enjoy the company of other dogs in a relaxed way. From our volunteer observations, she appears social and tolerant when other dogs approach her, and she walks nicely on leash with a happy tail wag. Julia would do well in a home looking for a laid-back companion who prefers gentle interactions over rowdy play. Contact us about Julia today!

Story
🐾 Meet Emily! 🐾 Emily is a 7-year-old female Rat Terrier looking for the loving home she deserves. Emily came from a hoarding situation and had her last litter earlier this year. She was a wonderful, devoted momma, and now it's finally her turn to be loved and spoiled. She's a sweet girl who may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once she feels safe, she absolutely loves being around her humans. Emily is ready to leave her past behind and enjoy the simple joys of life—a cozy bed, gentle affection, and a family to call her own. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a kind heart, Emily could be the perfect match. ❤️ Give Emily the happy ending she's been waiting for. She can't wait to meet her forever family! 🐶🏡 Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up-to-date on vaccines, deworming, heartworm tested, a supply of heartworm preventative, and microchip. If you would like to set up a meet & greet with this cutie, please fill out an interest-to-adopt form at www.scdrm.com, and we'll be in touch! Thank you for considering adoption and giving a rescue dog a second chance!

Story
Meet Bobby! Smart, Handsome, and Ready to Be Your Best Friend If you`re looking for a dog with brains, personality, and movie-star good looks, meet Bobby!This handsome 2-year-old Rat Terrier has the kind of face that turns heads and the kind of heart that wins people over. Bobby is incredibly smart, eager to learn, and loves being part of whatever his people are doing.Bobby is fully house-trained and has proven himself to be an excellent house guest. He can be left free-roaming indoors during the workday without accidents or destructive behavior. He would much rather relax at home than spend the day in a crate.Bobby plays wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, gets along beautifully with his 13-year-old Rat Terrier foster sister, and is gentle and respectful with his 16-year-old foster brother who has dementia. He`s also done great meeting dogs at the dog park.When Bobby trusts you, he`s incredibly affectionate. He loves kisses, belly rubs, and being close to his people. In fact, he bonds so strongly that he`d love a family who wants a true companion by their side.Bobby walks nicely on a leash and enjoys adventures with his humans. He does need a secure environment because he`s athletic, clever, and capable of climbing a fence if left outside alone. The funny part? He isn`t interested in running away—he usually just wants to find his people and wait for them.Like many sensitive dogs, Bobby may take a little time to warm up to some new people, especially men. Give him patience and kindness, and you`ll quickly discover the sweet, loyal dog hiding behind those big brown eyes.Bobby is looking for a family that will appreciate his intelligence, cherish his affectionate nature, and give him the love he`s been waiting for.Could Bobby be your perfect match?To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.

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

BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm
