Chester, terrier mix

Chester is a handsome male terrier mix in the care of Beyond Rescue.

Chester gets along well with other dogs. His vaccinations are already up-to-date, and he's neutered.

Here's what Chester's friends at Beyond Rescue think of him:

Sometimes when you are at the shelter, a certain dog just speaks to you...that's how one of our volunteers found this amazing little fella Chester. He is a senior man, he was down on his luck and had a growth on his front paw causing a limp. Despite the circumstances, he was wagging his tail and giving everyone kisses. Well, he is now safe and sound in a warm and loving foster home while recovering after his minor procedure. This little guy is really something special, and we can't wait to find him the perfect home!

Rose, chihuahua mix

Rose is an adorable female chihuahua mix in the care of Family Dog Rescue.

Rose has been vaccinated.

Here's what Rose's friends at Family Dog Rescue think of her:

Rose is a sweet, lively chi-mix. She came from a house with 34 other dogs, so she will need some patience as she adapts to her new life. She is loving and person-focused but enjoys cuddling with her foster siblings. Although she is very cautious in new environments, she is inquisitive and learns quickly.

Zoe, chihuahua mix

Zoe is a sweet female chihuahua mix currently residing at Family Dog Rescue.

Zoe loves to socialize, and she's happy to keep company with other dogs. She has been vaccinated.

From Zoe's current caretaker:

This chunk is all heart. She's deaf, but you wouldn't know it upon meeting her. She gets along well with other dogs her size but really loves her people. She does great on the leash. At eight years old, she's got great energy. Zoe's a fantastic little dog that would make a great addition to a loving family with a household of medium energy.
