Story
This breaks my heart, but I have to rehome my sweet girl… she’s a little over a year old and was adopted in November. I don’t know anything about her past, but she suffers from severe separation anxiety which has shown in forms of crying, howling, and barking while I am gone. She is also scared of the car and very hesitant of men so please be patient with her as this will be a huge adjustment. Once she’s comfortable, she will be like your shadow who loves to cuddle and play all day long.

Story
Phoebe is a definite Rat Terrier mix around 3-4 years of age. She was found running at large with little Rachel in Taney Co. Missouri. She is a littel shy at first, but a super sweet girl. She does climb out of the pup pen that is 4ft tall so a secure yard for her to play in with a privacy fence would be great! She is a little alpha acting with other dogs, but does like their company. Active girl and super pretty too!  ##1734559##

Story
No fault of his little Luke was surrendered to us. He needs an active home with older kiddos as he loves to jump and chase as most Terriers do. He is a fun boucy little guy that needs a fenced yard or to be on leash when outside due to also his terrier breed.  ##1857570##

Story
Little Yeti came to us via another rescue as she and her sis Cherry were terrified in their facility as they have a lot of big dogs and they bark alot. Yeti is the more outgoing of the two girls that originally came out of a hoarding case in Texas we are told. She does take a bit to warm up and wants you to think she is a nipper. She has not bitten anyone but will act like she wants to. Because of my years of loving on small dogs that have never known love I can tell you she isn't mean. Just very insecure. She is the first to me after a few weeks here and loves to give kisses and have me hold her. This kid will need a very secure fenced in yard and someone that understands she will take a few days to warm up. She just needs to learn you mean her no harm and are there souly to give all the loves and all the treats. ##2186548##

Story
Say hello to Wishbone, a fun, happy pup who’s bursting with love, energy, and sweetness! This boy is seriously AMAZING! He adores everyone he meets and will be a perfect addition to an active family with kids and other dogs. Wishbone is a happy boy who enjoys giving hugs and kisses, playing in the yard and snuggling with his people and dog friends. He would do great with a younger, playful dog in his forever home so he has a buddy to play with. Don’t let the pictures deceive you, he’s a little guy at just 32 lbs and won’t get much bigger than that! He’s a perfect size; not too big, not too small! He’s a perfect friend to to take on adventures, curl up on the couch with you and snuggle up in your lap! Wishbone is housebroken and crate trained and does good on a leash. He will master commands with continued training, lots of praise and treats! Because of his energy level, it’s best he has a fenced yard so he has the freedom to run zoomies and burn off some energy safely. He’d also enjoy going for walks, hiking, even car rides to go to fun places! This happy, tail-wagging sweetheart will bring endless fun and love to your home! If you’d like to meet him, please apply at https://luckychancerescue.com/adoption-applicationJanuary 19, 2025, 11:30 am
