Oscar, Jack Russell terrier and terrier mix

Oscar is a male Jack Russell terrier and terrier mix in the care of DogZone Rescue.

Oscar loves other dogs. Have no fear: He is already house-trained. Oscar is also already neutered and vaccinated.

Oscar's current caretakers say:

Oscar is a loving, sweet dog. His favorite thing to do is play, play, play! He's about three years old, but he's still got his puppy-level energy and silliness. He loves the dog park and is great at chasing balls, stuffed animals and any other thing you throw for him. He has boundless energy and would do best in a high-activity home or with another dog to run around with.

No other pets please: Bella is looking for a home without other dogs or cats. Bella is spayed, has had all her shots and has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Notes from Bella's caretakers:

Calling all cuddlers: Meet Bella, a five-year-old Boston terrier who will melt your heart. Bella is as sweet and loving as they come. She is mellow in the house but loves to snuggle up to her humans. She is great at bath time and sleeps all night.

From Kali's current caretaker:

Meet our sweet girl Kali. She is a three-year-old husky/shepherd mix with beautiful blue eyes. Kali grew up with a seven-year-old kid, so she is great with kids. She is playful and loves going out on long walks.

Mama Capra, terrier mix

Mama Capra is a female terrier mix staying at Rocket Dog Rescue.

No other dogs, please: Mama Capra is looking for a dog-free forever home. Fear not: She is already house-trained. She's already vaccinated and spayed.

Notes from Mama Capra's caretakers:

Mama came to us from a hoarding case, but even though she lived with lots of other dogs, we think she would like to be the only dog in the house. Mama prefers everyone’s undivided attention. Mama Capra has been living with a foster and is doing really well.

Millie, rat terrier and chihuahua mix

Millie is an adorable female rat terrier and chihuahua mix in the care of Grateful Dogs Rescue.

Millie loves other dogs, cats and children. She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up-to-date, and she is spayed.

Notes from Millie's caretakers:

Her foster family says she has really come out of her shell during her time in foster care and is a true joy to have in their home. She is good with kids and cats, and a forever family with either human or furry siblings would probably suit her just fine.
