Story
Animal Information: Peanut is a 4-month-old terrier mix who came into rescue locally after his owner experienced challenges with their mental health and a care provider stepped in to help. Peanut was purchased when he was only a couple of weeks old, much too young to be separated from his mother. He was sent home with a finger glove of mother’s milk and became a bottle baby. Because he was raised as a singleton puppy without the opportunity to learn from his mother or other puppies, Peanut is still learning important social skills with other dogs. When introduced to other dogs, including puppies, Peanut was a little fearful at first but showed that he is resilient and willing to learn. He is now headed into foster care with an experienced foster and a balanced pack of dogs who can help teach him all about being a confident, well socialized puppy. Peanut loves to play, is eager to engage with his people, and is already started on his crate and potty training journey. He has so much potential and we are excited to watch him grow and learn in foster care. More information will be shared as we get to know this sweet little guy better! Foster Profile:  Meet  Peanut ! At just  5 months old , this incredibly handsome male puppy is a bundle of joy with a v ery cute, silly personality and lots of playful energy to share. Peanut’s absolute favorite hobbies are  playing with his toys , romping around outside ,  chewing on sticks , and chasing his own tail, which is guaranteed to keep you entertained. He is a true  Velcro dog  who loves hard and wants to be glued right to your side the moment playtime is over. Because Peanut was  raised as a bottle baby , he has an incredibly deep bond with humans, though he is  still learning how to properly navigate being around other dogs . For a young pup, Peanut already has an impressive resume; he has  learned how to sit , is  crate trained ,  sleeps through the night , and is doing  great with his potty training . If you are looking for a smart, loyal, and hilariously fun companion to complete your family and help him grow into the best dog he can be, sweet little Peanut is ready to find his forever home! He is a bit vocal so not a good fit for apartments. We are looking for a home with a securely fenced yard and a family with previous dog experience that is looking for their next adventure buddy.  Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was surrendered to our rescue when his owner could no longer care for him, and arrived to foster care on 10/12/26. He will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.November 10, 2026, 12:23 am

Story
Welcome Blanca to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2 year old Rat Terrier mix. She came in from a hoarding situation. We received 3 dogs from this case. One was adopted already and one had to go to a specialized trainer in another Rescue. Blanca has started opening up and allowing people to pet her and hold her. She never got any attention in her original home, the hoarder. She is good with other dogs and causes no issues. She is kennel trained and her response to being afraid is to run and hide. She is a timid girl and not the social butterfly. She would be perfect with a person that is more introverted and wants a pet that is also similar. Blanca would be satisfied being at home with you all the time. A small walk in the yard would be fine. She until now, has not walked on leash. She is learning to do it at our Rescue. She would like a patient owner and a quieter home. An older couple or older single person would be great. Someone with a quieter home. She would be fine kenneled away if you had a party or people over. She is not very vocal and prefers to blend into the woodwork. She is really a great dog for the right family. She is getting her vaccinations, nail trims and will be spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She could be adopted locally in Texas or we could work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1869 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video!!

Story
FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDEDMeet Winnie!Winnie is a 5-year-old, approximately 22 lb Rat Terrier who came to us when her owner could no longer care for her. She arrived with her housemate, Zero, another Rat Terrier. The two are not required to be adopted together, but they certainly wouldn’t mind sharing a home again.Winnie is a sweet, goofy, incredibly smart girl with plenty of energy and a big personality packed into a small package. She is eager to please, loves to learn, and would have a blast continuing her training with her new family. She also walks well on leash and enjoys getting out and staying active.Winnie can be a little particular about her canine friends and does best with slow, thoughtful introductions. She would likely be happiest as the queen of her castle and soaking up all the attention herself, although she could potentially live with the right dog. Of course, going home with Zero would also be an option for these two.Winnie is looking for a home with Rat Terrier or similar breed experience that understands these dogs are smart, energetic, independent, and sometimes come with a little bit of attitude! She’ll thrive with someone who enjoys an active dog, wants to continue working on training, and appreciates a dog with plenty of personality.Winnie is a clever, active, affectionate little dog who is ready for a family that will keep her busy, continue helping her learn, and appreciate all the Rat Terrier quirks that make her who she is!Winnie is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption fee is $500.

Story
ADOPTION PENDING - Pepper and his 1/2 sibling Honey, are purebred 2 year old Rat Terriers, together since tiny, now in foster care since mid-July '26. Prior family could no longer keep them, no fault of the dogs. Both have sweet, happy, & loving dispositions once they know you. Energetic, athletic, but also good at chillin' on your lap or just being near their people. Rat Terriers are intelligent, loyal, with high prey drive so really good rodent hunters. They cleared a 7 years long marmot infestation in 4 days!Pepper is sweet, playful, happy. One eye part blue.Kennel, dog door trained, housebroken, leash, basic commands. Likes walks, car rides, playing w/Honey, and chasing marmots, etc. Fenced yard recommended - he can be active.A home w/ active kids &/or adults would be ideal. He hasn't been around cats, so would need proper integration. Nice if adopted together. If separated, maybe new homes could plan playdates so dogs can visit
