Ethel is a lovable female terrier dog being kept at Homeward Bound Dog Rescue.

Ethel will get along great with your other dogs. She is looking for cat-free forever home. No need to worry: She's already house-trained. She has been vaccinated and spayed.

Ethel's current caretakers say:

This 3-year-old Terrier blend arrived at our rescue after her elderly owner passed away. Ethel was very bonded with her owner, and she misses that companionship. Her ideal home would have another energetic doggie playmate. Quick on her feet, she can easily slip outside unnoticed. For that reason, she needs an experienced owner who can provide a secure environment. If that's you, adopt her today.

Cupcake is a winsome female pit bull terrier and retriever mix currently residing at Happy Hearts Dog Rescue.

Cupcake gets along well with other dogs and children. She is already spayed and vaccinated. She's mastered her house-training etiquette and is also crate-trained.

Cupcake's current caretakers say:

Cupcake is a very sweet, gentle terrier mix, who just loves to snuggle, and spend lazy afternoons napping in her bed. She loves to play with other dogs and taking a dip in the pool. Although she is happy and confident at home, she is a little nervous going outside; in time, we believe she will adjust to social outings. You will be lucky to have such an amazing sweet dog as part of your family.

Betsey is a female terrier mix being cared for at Happy Hearts Dog Rescue.

Betsey plays well with others, and she loves cats and dogs. She has had all of her shots, is already house-trained and crate-trained. 

Betsey's current caretakers say:

Betsey is a 12-pound bundle of joy. She will greet you in the morning and after work with her tail wagging. She prances around and loves to give kisses. Our little nugget is pretty good on walks, but is a little shy of larger barking dogs along the way. We would love for Betsey to find a loving home with the patience to help her flourish into the caring, sweet dainty little lady she is.
