Story
Looking for a Loving Home for Millie It breaks my heart to do this, but I am looking to rehome my sweet 9-month-old Rat Terrier mix, Millie. She is a shy and skittish girl at first, but once she warms up, shes incredibly playful, energetic, and smart. Unfortunately, she hasn't meshed well with my cats and she gets overly excited and loves to chase them, which has caused them to hide most of the time. It’s not fair to them or to Millie, who deserves a home where she can thrive. I want to find her a loving family who will give her the attention, playtime, and care she deserves. If you’re interested or have any questions, please send me a message!

Story
Scrappy and his siblings were abandoned near a truck stop. He is about 7 months old, and is friendly, outgoing, playful, talkative, and silly. Scrappy gets along great with other dogs. He hasn't really been around cats or children, but there's no reason to think he won't do well with them. Scrappy is pee pad trained, but he can't said to be housebroken quite yet. Scrappy will either be neutered prior to going to his new home, or a portion of his adoption fee will be refunded upon proof of neutering. To find out more about Scrappy, or to arrange a time to see him, call Alana at (417) 631-5201

Story
Seamus was found abandoned on a road. He is a cuddly, playful boy who gets along great with other dogs. It's not known how he will get along with children and cats, because he's never been around either, but from his personality, we expect he'll do fine with both. Seamus is pee pad trained but not truly housebroken yet. He's not yet neutered, but either will be prior to adoption, or part of the adoption fee will be refunded after proof of neutering. To find out more about Seamus, or arrange a time to see him, please call Alana at (417) 631-5201

Meet ROXY! • Female • Rat Terrier mix • 4 years old • 23 pounds • Medium energy • Good with dogs • Great in a harness • Appears to be potty trained As sweet and stout as a strawberry shortcake, Roxy has a charm that could melt the hardest of hearts.

She’s a natural fit for families with kids, as her gentle, patient nature is free of sass or rough edges. Roxy’s also proving she’s more than just snuggles, acing her training at the rescue and showing off her smarts. Pick Roxy in time for February -- she'd love to be your Valentine!

Story
Meet Maddie! Maddie is a sweet rat terrier mix puppy. She was born in our rescue on 12/4/24. Maddie is sweet, friendly and playful. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Due to her small size, and for her safety, she will be best suited for a home with children over the age of 10. While she waits for her new family, she will be working on kennel and house training. Her adoption fee is $215 and includes her three parvo distemper vaccines, rabies vaccines, spay, microchip and a box of heartgard. If you think Dottie might be a good fit for you, please submit your application. Applications are found under the How to Adopt menu or by copying this link into your browser: https://form.jotform.com/201527297286058 **NOTE: unaltered puppies are only available with a spay/neuter contract and within a 2 hour radius of our vet for the ease returning for remaining vetting**

Story
**Courtesy Post** Valentine lost the person she loved most in the world, her owner died. Valentine is 6-7 years old. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. Her owner had been sick for a long time and when they passed away it left Valentine in need of a new home. Valentine was very protective of my sister and will need patience to gain trust again. She is understandably confused and sad. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt her. Valentine needs a securely fenced yard, but she definitely needs to be an indoor dog. She requires a home with no kiddos and no cats. Other dogs are ok as long as they are male dogs. Her adopter must be able to drive to the Georgetown, Texas area to get her. There is a small rehoming fee. If you are interested in giving Valentine a forever home, please contact her owner at dwdulle@gmail.com and they will email you an adoption application.
