Whiskey, Cairn terrier and dachshund mix

Whiskey is a sweet male Cairn terrier and dachshund mix being cared for at Pet Rescue North, Inc.

Whiskey is a social animal — he loves other dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Whiskey is already neutered and vaccinated.

Whiskey's current caretakers say:

Whiskey is about ten months old, and it's all about play for him. As soon as the smallest pup turns and chases him, he takes off running. He knows how to use the doggie door and would do well as a family pet. He also is fond of sleeping in the bed, so get ready to move over or be snuggled.

Trooper, beagle mix

Trooper gets along well with other dogs. Fear not: He is already house-trained, microchipped, neutered and vaccinated.

Notes from Trooper's caretakers:

Trooper was left abandoned in a rural area. We believe he was a beloved pet at some point because he is very well trained. He has a wonderful disposition and would be an ideal family pet.

From Blot's current caretaker:

Blot was part of a litter of pups born in early December from a backyard breeder. Unfortunately, the breeder didn't want to keep them, so we rescued them. Jack Russells like Blot are high energy but also super cute and lovable. We recommend he not be placed in a home with children under age 5.
