Story
** PLEASE READ HIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE CALLING/APPLYING! ** His super cute looks are deceiving! Roger is a "project dog"! Which means he will need on-going training and is ONLY available to an SF Bay Area experienced, sport dog home. Roger is a 8 year old, 10lb Australian Terrier/Jack Russell mix, and this guy is ALL terrier!! (His personality is probably closest to that of a Jack Russell) He loves to play with other small dogs, is good with cats (although sometimes he wants to play with them if they run). He LOVES to play (can’t say this enough), and he is very high energy. He has learned a handful of tricks (is a titled Advanced Trick Dog), and he competes in USDAA Agility (with two titles already- SPS and PD)!, so he must go to a home that can continue dog sports with him, and keep him very active, both mentally and physically. He’s like the energizer bunny, and he is one of the smartest dogs we have ever met, scary smart! He does also love to snuggle with his person and give kisses. He’s crate-trained and housebroken. His only issue (besides his energy and intelligence level) is *fear aggression toward strangers* (will bite if a stranger approaches, reaches their hand for/toward him, or spooks him), but with lots of patience, management, training (counter conditioning), and carefully monitored socialization, his fear has decreased, but it may never go completely away, so you can never let your guard down with him. He has gotten a LOT better in his foster home over the last several years, but will need someone to continue the right kind of training with him. He does seem to warm up much faster to young women than to older people or men. This is why he’d do best in a home with NO children and with someone experienced with terrier or high energy breeds (like herding dogs) and near-professional dog behavior experience. Once you give this dog a chance, you will fall in love! He’s really such an absolutely brilliant dog, the life of the party! Roger has been in rescue since 3/2011. Roger is neutered, up to date on his shots, microchipped, and will come with a collar, harness, leash, and bag of food!

Looking for a hypoallergenic heartthrob who won’t leave your clothes looking like a shaggy carpet? Well, you’ve found him. Stud Muffin is a 5-6 year old, 15 pound Silky Terrier who has all the charm of a classic heartthrob—without the messy hair situation. He’s got the non-shedding, low-maintenance coat of your dreams, which means your black leggings and furniture are safe from the usual furry fashion statement. And the name? Oh, he lives up to it. Stud Muffin may be small, but he struts around like he just stepped off the cover of 'GQ: Goodest Boys Edition.' Whether he’s trotting down the sidewalk on his leash or lounging in a sunbeam, this little guy exudes big main-character energy. A Day in the Life of Stud Muffin 7:00 AM – Wakes up in his cozy crate, stretching like a yoga instructor before calmly waiting for his morning potty break. No frantic barking, no chaos—just pure gentleman behavior. 7:30 AM – Breakfast time! Stud Muffin politely enjoys his meal (no wild gobbling, thank you very much) and then decides how to spend his morning—either hanging out near his humans or retreating back to his crate for a post-breakfast power nap. Midday – Walk time! Stud Muffin walks like a dream, making him the perfect strolling companion for people who enjoy peaceful, drama-free outings. He loves meeting new dogs and will greet them like a tiny diplomat, full of curiosity and tail wags. Afternoon – Sunbathing and toy time. He’s a big fan of playing fetch and always keeps his favorite toy nearby (because what if a game breaks out unexpectedly?). If you have a comfy couch or a cozy spot by a window, that’s where you’ll find him soaking up the good life. 6:00 PM – Dinner, followed by another leisurely walk where he insists on meeting all the neighbors and making sure everyone knows he exists. Evening – Wind-down time. Stud Muffin snuggles up near his humans but isn’t a clingy shadow—he enjoys his personal space but also enjoys being adored from a respectable distance. What Makes Stud Muffin Special? When Stud Muffin first arrived, he was a little shy—like a nervous first date, not sure what to do with his paws. But with love, patience, and a few confidence-boosting belly rubs, he has blossomed into a loving, playful, and sweet-natured companion. He’s fully potty trained and can hold it like a champ, even when the weather is less than ideal. (Rain? No, thank you. He’ll wait it out, please.) Stud Muffin would thrive in a home that appreciates his low-key, charming presence. He’s great with other easygoing dogs and would do well in a household with older kids or adults who understand that true gentlemen need a little peace and quiet. So, if you’re looking for a tiny, sophisticated gentleman with a heart of gold and the perfect balance of independence and affection, Stud Muffin is your guy. Apply today—because this handsome little heartthrob won’t be single for long! February 15, 2025, 12:03 am
