Lords has a big, energetic personality in a slight little body, but when the time is right, he'll curl up for a nice, calm cuddle. He loves walks and car rides. And he would like nothing better than to sleep at the foot of the bed of someone all his own.

She loves the company of other dogs, and, thanks to her foster siblings, is learning the ropes about simply being a dog. She still has a lot to learn about being on a leash and is easily startled by new situations or sounds, but her foster mom has begun catching glimpses of Gloria’s playful side. Gloria is a dear little girl who needs a patient, quiet home with someone experienced and willing to help her reach her true potential to become a happy, loved little companion. Cats are okay, but, because of her size and history, absolutely no small children for Gloria Coates, now or in the future.

Vito
adult male

Shepherd (Mix)

What a story Vito must have to tell. This poor, frightened boy had been a stray for a while when some Good Samaritans saw him hit by a car. The driver fled, but the couple who witnessed the accident stayed. He was taken in by animal control, where they determined his front leg was so badly damaged by the accident that it was necessary to amputate it. Through it all, this sweet boy has endured the pain and fear but remained gentle and dignified. A SmallDog Rescue volunteer was so touched by Vito's story that her family agreed to take Vito in, so that he can recover and so that we could find him a true home of his own. Vito is about 2 years old, is a Shepherd mix of some kind, weighs about 45 pounds and -- despite the picture -- he now is learning to live with three legs. This boy has paid his dues. Is yours the special, loving home who will give Vito the second chance at the good life that he so deserves?
In addition to his injury, Vito has been diagnosed with heartworms! The expensive treatment will start soon, because we believe this sweet boy deserves to live a long and happy life. Without treatment, heartworms are fatal 100% of the time. If you would like to help with the cost of his treatment, please mail your donation to SmallDog Rescue, PO Box 888570, Atlanta GA 30356 for Vito. We also accept credit cards and PayPal.

This blonde bombshell is Myrtle! She is 4 years old and weighs only 6.5 lbs. She’s come a long way in the short time she has been with SmallDog Rescue. When she first arrived, she was terrified of anyone reaching for her, but in only a few days she had become more accepting and is relieved and relaxed when she’s being held. Myrtle will need a patient adult-only home to help her fulfill her potential as a confident, happy doggy companion.

Buckeye
Adult Male

Chihuahua (Mix)

Buckeye is a tri-color Chihuahua mix. He is 4 years old and is 12 pounds of shyness. While he’s a little timid, earning his trust is a worthwhile endeavor, because he is a sweet and friendly boy underneath. All he needs is a little unconditional love, and he'll have you wrapped around his finger! No small children for Buckeye.

Luigi Cherubini
Young Adult Male

Maltese

Luigi Cherubini is a 2-year-old Maltese who weighs only 9 pounds. He is white with big brown eyes. Luigi arrived at SmallDog Rescue from a large, out-of-state commercial breeder that recently shut down operations. He is a sweet boy who is very comfortable in the company of other dogs, but he is very shy of people. He will need a calm, experienced, patient home where he can learn to trust his human companions. Luigi would probably do best in a home with at least one other dog, too, to show him the ropes. Because of his size and history, no small children for Luigi Cherubini, now or in the future.

Ruth Crawford-Seager
Young Adult Female

Toy Poodle

This is Ruth Crawford-Seager. This sweet, scruffy little Toy Poodle could use a day at the spa to bring out her total adorable-ness, but it’s easy to see already. Ruth is 2 years old, weighs a petite 7 pounds and sports a curly white and gray. She came to us from a large commercial breeding operation in another state. She was in a group of like-sized poodles and poodle mixes who are all very happy in each others’ company but quite shy with people. Ruth will need a dog-savvy home where she can come out of her shell and discover her true potential as a much-loved pet. She would probably be happiest with at least one other dog in the home. Because of her history and her tiny size, no small children, please, for Ruth Crawford-Seager, now or in the future.

This young lady has a natural motherly instinct, which can be seen in her relationships with her furry pals. Because of her size, no small children for Abbey Road.

This sweet little guy came from a large-scale, out-of-state breeding operation. While he is clearly very comfortable in the company of his four-legged breeder buddies, Ernie is a shy boy who scurries away when it comes to people. He is young and has a lot to learn about being a happy kid in this great big world. Ernie is looking for a warm, loving home with calm, patient people to give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. At least one other dog in the home to show him the ropes would be a big plus. Due to his history and tiny size, no small children for Ernest Chausson, now or in the future.

Tony Tchaikovsky
Young Adult Male

Pomeranian

Tony Tchaikovsky is a 1½-year-old, 12-pound Pomeranian with a beautiful reddish-gold coat. His owner surrendered him to SmallDog Rescue through no fault of his own.

No small children for Tony, please.

Francesca Caccini
Adult Female

Lhasa Apso

Francesca Caccini is a beautiful brown Lhasa Apso. She is 3 years old and weighs 13 pounds. Those are the statistics, but there is so much more to Francesca. She is very sweet but is unsure of herself after spending her first years in a large-scale breeding operation in another state. Now, she has the chance to learn about life with a loving family. With many years still ahead of her, she deserves to spend them as a happy, adored companion. We're looking for a home that is just right. Because of her history, no small children for Francesca Caccini, please.

Sorley
adult male
Chihuahua (Terrier)

What a story Sorley has to tell! If only he could speak Human. His name means “Summer Traveler” and, well, we guess he was! Sorley has a tan, wiry coat and is about a year old. He came to us from a fellow agency who nursed him to his current excellent health --- after he spent the first nine months of his life fending for himself in the world with his mother. Thin, covered in mange and wary of people three months ago, Sonny is now a handsome, healthy and social 12-pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix. His mother has been placed, and now Sorley is looking for his own forever home. He is leash- and crate-trained, rides well in a car and gets along great with other dogs. He’s still a bit shy, but does well with people---especially women. Because of his size and his history, we're seeking an adult-only home for Sorley.

Amos Andy
young male

Basenji (Mix)

Look into those soulful eyes! To know this special boy is to love him. Amos Andy is a sleek, handsome 30-pound Basenji mix. He came to SmallDog Rescue as a fearful nine-month-old pup, the victim of mistreatment in his critical early life. He was embraced here by friends who believed in him and took the time to teach him that there are people in the world he can trust. In foster care, Amos blossomed into a loyal boy with lots of love to give. He is two years old now and ready for the right forever home. Amos would much rather be with his people than outside, but he also really enjoys a good game of chase or tussle with his four-legged playmates. Amos may be a mix, but he’s all Basenji – with the interesting quirks that entails. He is still shy in unfamiliar situations, and it takes him a while to trust, but he is extremely smart and eager to learn. He greets his people with a happy, wagging tail and sloppy kisses. He gets along great with other dogs, although he is a little intimidated by much larger dogs. Amos would do best in a home with another compatible dog to pal around with, but NO CATS. He must have a securely fenced yard to run around in. Amos needs an experienced, patient, caring, all-adult home, or one with easygoing, dog-savvy older children, to show him how much fun being a much-loved pet can be!

Frederic Chopin
Adult Male

Yorkshire Terrier

We call this tiny gentleman Chopin. He is a very petite Yorkshire Terrier who tips the scales at only about 3½ pounds. He’s a shy, sweet little man who has spent his 6 years of life in a large-scale breeding operation in another state. That outfit released a number of dogs recently and we received some of them, including Chopin. He’s not entirely sure of himself right now, but Chopin is gradually gaining confidence and will make someone a companion who’s easy to love someday soon. First, it’s time to nurse this tiny fellow back to good health, then find him his forever home. No small children for Chopin, now or in the future.

He is one of a group of itty-bitty dogs who came to SmallDog Rescue from a large-scale breeder that recently shut down its operation. He is very sweet but lacks confidence with people. However, Carlo is extremely comfortable with his like-sized canine companions. Carlo would no doubt do best in a home with at least one other dog to show him the drill. He needs a calm, dog-savvy home with the patience to help him come out of his shell. Due to his small size and history, no small children for Carlo Antonio Campioni, no or in the future.

Young Adult Female

Chihuahua

Sure, Chihuahuas are small dogs, but Consuelo Diez is TINY! This little black-and-white sweetheart is two years old and weighs only 3 ½ pounds. Not only that… Consuelo is missing one of her back legs. Bless her heart! Because of some scarring, we believe she lost her leg in an accident. Don't tell Consuelo she has only three legs, though. She has no problems getting around, loves to be held and will jump into your arms. What’s more, she'll let you know if she’s not getting enough attention. This teeny-tiny wonder came to us from another agency. Now it’s time to find the home she was always meant to have. Because of her tiny size, no small children for Consuelo Diez, now or in the future.

Adult Male

Chihuahua

Sorry but we are no longer accepting applicants for Poplar.

He’s a little shy and unsure, but he is coming around. Due to his small size, Pop will need an adult-only home now and in the future.

Bichon Frise

Petite, pretty and precious. Those are the three P's that describe Hildegard of Bingen. Hildegard is a 2-year-old Bichon Frise who has spent her short life in a large-scale, out of state commercial breeding operation. They recently closed up shop and turned Hildegard and several dozen other small dogs over to us to find them forever homes. At a tiny 7 pounds, Hildy is a little shy and skittish when she meets you for the first time, but she is getting the idea pretty quickly that she is on the road to being a pampered pooch. This little sweetie is cute, cuddly and is coming slowly out of her shell. Next stop is her forever home. Because of her tiny size, no small children for Hildegard of Bingen, now or in the future.

Fanny Mendelssohn
Adult Female

Miniature Poodle

One look at her precious face, and you most surely will be smitten! Fanny Mendelssohn is a gray and tan Miniature Poodle with personality to spare.

Fanny is 3 years old and weighs 10 pounds. No small children for Fanny Mendelssohn.

Milo Meltaway
young male

Pug (Beagle)

Milo came to SDR after losing 2 homes through no fault of his own. Milo is 3 years old and weighs about 30lbs (he’s shed over 10lbs on the SDR diet plan!). He is a “Puggle,” half-beagle, half-pug, and you can tell, too! He has the sense of humor of a pug: he loves to play with toys, chew nylabones, and play with other dogs. When his foster parents put a leash on him for a walk, he will take the end of the leash and trot around the room walking himself in anticipation. He is truly a pug-like clown. He’s also half-beagle, with the bay of beagle (so no apartments, please!), and the dogged determination of a beagle. He’s a smart boy that knows “sit,” and, to the endless amusement of his foster parents, he can catch a treat in the air tossed to him from amazing distances. All he wants is someone to love him as much as he loves them. You could run to the post office for 20 minutes, and when you get home you will be treated to a hero’s welcome. Milo needs a home that will appreciate what a wonderful, quirky dog he is, and he’s hoping that the third time is a charm.

Charlie Clearwater
Young Adult Male

Lhasa Apso

Yowza! This is one cute Lhasa Apso! Charlie Clearwater is 2 years old and weighs 16 pounds. He is almost all white with a few tan highlights. Charlie came to us from another rescue agency.

Joey was found as a stray – go figure! – and turned into a local vet clinic. After all efforts to find his owner failed, this sweet kid was handed over to us. Little Joey is very simply a nice, playful, cuddly pup who loves people and other dogs. All that’s left to complete the package is to find him the perfect forever home. Puppies require a lot of time and commitment. Please make sure your schedule can accommodate Johann Sebastian Bach’s needs prior to applying. We are considering only applications with confirmable vet histories.

When all her efforts to find his owner came to nothing, she turned to SmallDog Rescue to find the right home for this life-of-the-party one-year-old. Levi is bright, friendly, active and very playful. All he needs is a little guidance to become the fun companion he is meant to be. No small children, please, for Richard Levi Strauss.

She'll crawl into your lap as soon you sit down. Any home would be lucky to have her. If you're lucky, that home could be yours

Colin Firth
young male

Pug

A Pug is a Pug is a Pug. And Colin Firth is most definitely a Pug. He’s 2 years old, about 18 pounds and is fawn with a black muzzle. Colin came to SmallDog Rescue through another rescue agency. We believe he may have been the product of a puppymill, because he had been purchased at a flea market – a common “marketplace” for large-scale commercial breeders. Whatever his origins, he is a friendly, lively boy with lots of personality.


Quiet Quincy
Adult Male

Pug (Chihuahua)

Quiet Quincy is a cute little Pug/Chihuahua mix, or a "Chug," if you will. Quincy is 5 years old and weighs 11 pounds. He came in to SDR along with his friend (and probably brother), Young Yancee. Quincy was living his life in someone's backyard where they just left him and the other dogs to breed over and over. The numbers got out of hand and his owner didn't feel like dealing with the dogs anymore. So, lucky for Quincy, he gets to leave that life behind and start a new one on much better terms. Quincy is a sweet boy who's a little shy but will come around with just a little patience. And besides, who can resist that face! No small children for Quiet Quincy.

No small children for Mary Anne Amacher.

Jimmy Kailua
Adult Male
Lhasa Apso (Terrier)

Jimmy Kailua is such a sweetheart! He is 3 years old and sports a very soft, cream and tan coat. Our best guess is that he is a Lhasa Apso/Terrier mix of some sort. Jimmy is a super-sweet, 10-pound bundle of joy who loves to run and play with other doggies. This little guy has been through a lot, but he does not seem to notice.

She is energetic and loves to run and play. Bonnie is already precious, but when her coat grows out – Wow! Watch out! She’s going to be a knockout!

Big Bad Wolfe
adult male

Dachshund

Ok, so this guy isn't really that big, nor is he bad, and he's a dachshund mix, not a wolf! But, "medium shy doxie" just doesn't have the same ring to it. Wolfie, as his foster mom calls him, is a sweet fella that can be a little shy upon meeting new people. He is 2 years old and weighs 17 lbs. He has big, beautiful, soulfoul brown eyes. He is a total lap dog that is quiet. He gets along great with other dogs but doesn’t require them as company. His foster mom says that he is the sweetest dog in the whole wide world and that he is a "love bug," whatever that means. He loves to follow his foster mom around the house and when he is in her lap, which is most of the time, he is sure to shower her with kisses. He is very smart and has pretty good house manners. Due to his shyness, no small children for Wolfie.

George Crumb
Young Adult Male

Shih Tzu (Poodle)

Goodness gracious! Everyone who meets George Crumb immediately falls in love with him. George is black-and-white, 2 years old and weighs 11 pounds. This adorable Shih Poo (Shih Tzu/Poodle mix) spent his first two years with a large-scale breeding operation in Missouri that recently shut down. Now he is with us, learning about the good life.

Yancee is a sweet boy who's a little shy but will come around with just a little patience. And besides, who can resist that face! No small children for Young Yancee.

Orlando Gibbons
Adult Male

Toy Poodle

This wary looking 6.5 pound ball of fluff is Orlando Gibbons! Orlando found his way to SmallDog Rescue all the way from Missouri. He came to us from a large scale breeding facility where he lived the first 6 years of his life. It'll take him a while to transition from that environment to a loving home, but boy oh boy will it be worth it! He can be a little nervous on first approach, but once he's comfortable he is a friendly little lap dog. Orlando will need an adult-only home now and in the future.

Dogwood
Adult Male

Lhasa Apso (Mix)

This is Dogwood … “Woody” to his good friends. We took this 6-year-old Lhasa Apso mix in from an area animal shelter. Poor Woody had been picked up as a stray with a horrid injury to his right eye. Emergency vets did what they could to save it and stitched it close, so that it could heal. Our vets opened Woody’s eye back up and are hopeful that he will have at least some sight. His left eye is fine. In the meantime, this cheery, happy-go-lucky fellow is on a diet-and-exercise plan to shed a few of his hefty 25 pounds. Woody is a friendly, sociable guy who gets along with people and other dogs and loves a good cuddle. He is a bit too fond of his toys, so no small children for Dogwood, now or in the future.

Augusta Brown
Young Adult Female

Lhasa Apso (Poodle)

This adorable black fluffer is Augusta Brown, whose warm brown eyes and gentle demeanor would melt any heart. Augusta is a 2-year-old Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix who weighs about 12 pounds. She was in a group of dogs who were recently turned over to SmallDog Rescue by a large, out-of-state commercial breeder that was shutting down. She is still a bit timid upon first meeting.

No small children, please, for Augusta Brown.

Maple
Adult Female

Miniature Poodle (Bichon)

Maple is a most endearing little girl. She is a white miniature Poodle / Bichon mix who is 3 years old and weighs 9 pounds. She is a little unsure when she first meets you and retreats when someone tries to pick her up. Once she’s in your arms, though, she’s just snuggly fine. And when she’s on the ground and free to play, she’s happy as a clam. Her little tail wags like crazy and she wants to play with the other dogs. It is adorable to watch. Maple is gradually getting the message that it’s okay to trust her human friends. It won't be long before she’s a real cuddle bunny. No small children for Maple.

Gittel
Baby Female

Dachshund

What a little sweetheart! Gittel, whose name means "good," is a 4-month-old (as of late March) double dapple dachshund puppy. Gittel is blind or has very limited sight. She looks like she's perpetually squinting, because she was born with under-developed eyes. But she doesn't know or care about that. She gets around just fine and is a friendly, playful, loving pup. No small children for Gittel, now or in the future.

Giuseppe Bonno
Adult Male

Poodle (Terrier)

Giuseppe Bonno is a bit bewildered. Is it any wonder? This handsome, 15-pound blonde Poodle/Terrier mix -- who looks like a miniature Wheaten Terrier -- has lost his home. His owner moved into an assisted living facility. Poor Giuseppe tried to adjust to the lifestyle, but then his owner was injured and could no longer care for him. What this sweet, 8-year-old needs now is a calm, quiet, mature home where he can feel safe and loved again. He enjoys leash walks and loves car rides, but he’s not fond of crowds and he startles easily. He was dearly loved and losing his home has left him frightened and off-balance. Are you the one to give him back a happy home? No children, please, for Giuseppe Bonno.

SDR has set to work, lavishing this little angel with TLC to bring her back to good health, so that she will be ready soon for her forever home. No small children, please, for Rosita.

Bliss
young female
Chihuahua (Pure)

What we want more than anything for Bliss is that she will one day live the name we gave her. She surely deserves it, because her first few years of life have been anything but blissful. This lovely sable brown Chihuahua is about 2 years old and weighs 8 pounds. Bliss has been a great mom to her two pups, Paul Mitchell and Tess, but she is still quite shy in the company of people. That’s because, until now, little Bliss has lived her life confined to a cage in a puppy mill, forced to make litter after litter of puppies and with little or no positive human contact. It’s about time this sweet little girl got the chance to learn that there are kind, caring people in the world. It’s happening now in her foster home, where she has recently begun seeking human attention. Bliss will need an experienced, patient family to help her out of her tiny shell.

Poodle

Hi there! My name is Yepa. I am a 5-year-old black-and-white (parti) toy poodle who got lost along the way. A kind stranger rescued me from a busy street. All the more remarkable, because I'm teeny-tiny and weigh less than 4 pounds. Can you imagine someone letting me get lost like that!? I was scared! My new friend took me home while she looked for my owner, but she had no luck. I got along well with her two Golden Retrievers (wow, they were big!) and even her cat. I loved sitting in her lap and sleeping in her bed, but, unfortunately, I couldn't stay. When my owner didn't turn up, my Good Samaritan let SmallDog Rescue take over finding me a forever home. My name translates to “Winter Princess,” and I would love to be someone’s princess for more than one season. How about for life?! But, please, no small children

Underneath the fear and poor coat is a sweet little dog that wants so much to be loved. Addy will need an adult-only home or one with older children.

Lillian Jackson Braun
adult female
Maltese (Pure)

Teensy weensy and looking for love. Lillian is one of more than a dozen Malteses to come SmallDog Rescue’s way recently … and we’re glad she is. Lil is 5 years old, all-white (of course) and weighs a mere 3 ½ pounds. This precious little angel is sweet, friendly and ready for her forever home. Could it be yours? Due to her tiny size, we want to place Lillian in an adult-only home.

Toni Morrison
adult female

Maltese (Pure)

Get a load of this lovely little Maltese! Toni Morrison is one of 14 Malteses to fall into SmallDog Rescue’s hands recently.

No small children for Toni Morrison, please.

Martina Navratilova
adult female

Schnauzer (Poodle)

Martina Navritilova is a beautiful Schnoodle who came from a not-so-loving environment and who must learn from scratch about the kindness of people. This 5-year-old, 16-pound sweetie is coming out of her shell and becoming more and more comfortable in her foster home. In fact, her foster mom says Martina is, in a word, AWESOME! She’s a super-sweet little girl who loves the attention and affection she has so long been denied. She has mastered stairs, walks well on a leash, comes from playtime in the yard when she’s called and gets along nicely with other dogs. Martina still has a way to go to gain confidence in her new world. This gentle creature would do best in a calm, patient, confident home with a family willing to give her all the time she needs to feel safe. No young children, please, for Martina.

Terry Kay
adult female

Maltese (Pure)

This is Terry Kay. He’s a tiny male Maltese, weighing in at only 3 pounds. Terry is 5 years old. Until now, he has lived with a breeder, but she got sick and couldn’t care for her dogs anymore. SmallDog Rescue took him and several others in. Too cute for words, he’s neutered now and ready to find the home that will be his very own, forever. Are you ready for this sweet, fun little munchkin? Due to his diminutive size, only an all-adult home for Terry Kay.

Newman
adult male

Schnauzer (Pure)

Hello, Newman.
Newman is a mature salt-and-pepper Schnauzer. He weighs roughly 18 pounds. He's a great guy who enjoys people and gets along well with other dogs. He came to SmallDog Rescue from a local animal shelter. Go figure because Newman is very well-mannered and has an agreeable nature. He's not big on tussling or playing with toys, but he does have a playful side and gives occasional kisses. He's loyal and but not needy. When there's activity, he likes to be near the action. When it's quiet, he could snooze the day away. You can tell he's deep in slumber by his soft puppy snoring. Newman has some endearing qualities that are all his own. His foster parents have nicknamed him Babe, because when he gets excited or happy, he'll "snort" like a little piggie. It's very cute. This Schnauzer gentleman needs a loving family who appreciates a slightly-quirky, low-key, loyal companion who asks for little and gives much in return. No small children for Newman.

Hi, there. Nice to meetcha! My name is Stuart Woods. I’m 2 years old. I weigh 5 ½ pounds. And I am a cool little guy looking for a place to call home. Just look at me! Am I not the cutest little guy you ever saw? I bet you’d like to take me home. Why don’t you fill out an application, and maybe, if you’re the lucky one, you’ll get to do just that. One thing -- I’m too small for a home with small children. So, remember, adults only or maybe some older kids.

Maltese (Pure)

Carl Hiassen

Maltese (Pure)

What a cutie-patootie! Carl Hiassen is one of 14 Malteses who came to SmallDog Rescue when a breeder fell ill and could no longer care for her dogs. She and her family asked that we help find homes for all of them after we had seen to it that all were spayed or neutered.

Clive arrived at SmallDog Rescue through the family of his senior owner who, sadly, fell ill and had to move into a "No Dogs" assisted living facility. Clive was a bit confused about the loss of his home but has been taken under the wing of one of our wonderful foster moms. He has clearly been loved and cared for. Clive knows to Sit and Down on cue and walks nicely on a leash. There’s no telling what else he knows. He’s very friendly with all people he meets and gets along fine with other dogs. Clive is ready and waiting for his new family to find him and take him home for good!

This precious little girl has been shuffled around quite a bit in her short life. Her first family gave her to a neighbor, who could not keep her but wanted her to find the perfect forever home. That’s how Allie wound up in our hands. She is still all puppy - with the energy to match. She loves people and loves attention. Allie has all the makings of a great family dog.

adult male
Shih Tzu

What a cutie!!! Tolsom is a 5-year-old boy who is just as cute as a button. It’s taking this handsome tan-and-white boy a little time to get the idea that he has human friends who want only the best for him. Is it any wonder? After all, he has spent his whole life in a puppy mill. Now, Tolsom is learning to enjoy life at SDR. Slowly but surely, he’s getting the hang of it.

Eleanor Roosevelt (Anna)
adult female
Pekingese (Pure)

Anna’s story is truly one of life and death. Rescued by a fellow agency, 4 year-old Anna was a painfully thin 9 pounds, fighting malnutrition and a bad respiratory infection. Her first rescuers were successful in getting her stable, and, with some TLC and a steady, healthy diet, SmallDog Rescue is bringing her back to full health. No doubt the victim of poor treatment in the past, Anna came to us a very shy little girl, but the kindness of her new friends is drawing out her happy side. What a sweetie! Her next stop - a kind and loving forever home. No small children, please.

Sarchi
adult male
Corgi (Mix)

What a sweetheart Sarchi is! Low to the ground and laid back, this Corgi/mystery mix is black-and-white, 2 ½ years old and weighs about 30 pounds. Sarchi (aka Lucky) was found by the side of a country road as a puppy, stuffed in a feed bag. He was the much-loved constant companion of his elderly rescuer until she fell ill and had to move into a nursing home. He is a little bewildered that he cannot be with her any longer, but Sarchi maintains his sweet, mellow disposition and has won the hearts of his foster family already. This dear fellow loves people, and his favorite game is playing fetch. He needs a forever home where someone will give him the same kind of love he received from the woman who saved him. It’s up to SmallDog Rescue to find that special family. Is it yours?

Dr. Seuss
adult male
Terrier (Mix)

We are so glad Dr. Seuss found his way to SmallDog Rescue! He is a 2-year-old, blond terrier mix who weighs about 10 pounds. He came to us through a Good Samaritan who did everything possible to find his family. No one claimed him, so this slight, scruffy charmer was turned over to us. Dr. Seuss is a little shy and reserved at first, but he's friendly and warms quickly to new human pals. He gets along with other dogs, too, and enjoys being where the action is. All that's missing now is is his forever home. It could be yours!
