Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 11/9 Lucy Luna comes to us as an owner surrender. Her family loved her very much and took excellent care of her. However, a family member has had to move in with them and she is highly allergic to dogs, so they had to give her. They were heart broken and so was Luna. But she is adjusting well and we hope to find her forever home quickly to minimize her transitions. Luna is a fantastic dog! She is everything you could want- friendly, excellent with kids, loves to play with other dogs, doesn't pay cats any mind, house trained, crate trained, loving, playful, great car rider, fully vetted, about a year old and 40 lbs. We do not know her breed. The website makes us pick a breed and according to my phone, she's a Rat Terrier mix...if that's true she's obviously mixed with something a little bigger because she is bigger than a Rat Terrier. She's probably very mixed. There is nothing but good things to say about this beautiful girl. And those eyes! The only thing better than her beautiful eyes is those spectacular ears! Don't miss out on this little gem! She checks all the boxes! Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.

Story
Hi there! I’m Frankie, a charming 4-year-old tri-color Rat Terrier. Weighing in at a perfect 15 pounds, I’m neutered, vaccinated, housebroken, crate-trained, and leash-trained, making me quite the well-mannered gentleman. I have a special request for my future family: you should have experience with Rat Terriers. I can be a bit protective of my people, but once I know you, I’m super friendly and incredibly cuddly. I thrive in calm environments, so a household without yelling or chaos would be ideal for me. I get along well with other dogs, especially females, but I’m not a fan of cats or young children. A fenced yard would be a dream come true, as I love to run and play. Did I mention I’m excellent at agility? Check out my video! I’m also super smart and would love to show off my skills! Currently, I’m being fostered in Connecticut, and I’m eagerly waiting to find my forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, and intelligent companion, I’m your guy! Let’s make a perfect match. 🐾❤️ Can’t wait to meet you, Frankie
