What's it all about? Just the cutest white-as-snow terrier puppy you've ever seen! At a mere three months, I've got a lot to learn, but I'll happily do it to be a part of your clan. I've got the makings of a great amily dog, so if you and your kids (or even other dogs) will really take the time to play with me, walk me and feed me, I am a definite candidate for longtime companion. "I know there's something much more. Something even non-believers can believe in. I believe in love – Alfie."

Can you see the love in my face? My sweet tear-stained face? In my eight years of life, you can bet I had a home or two along the way. And now I need another one. I'm a sweet little fellow and I don't eat much so I'm the perfect companion in this economy! I can be your trusted confidante, so if you have gossip of your own, or you just want to watch "Gossip Girl" with me by your side, I'm your man!

At a mere 7 lbs, I could practically fit in your pocket – but I have way too much energy for that! I'm a gal on the go – and I'd like to go there with you! I'll take those puppy classes and graduate head of the class. (I've seen "Legally Blonde," you know) You can tell by my eyes that I'm smart as a whip. I might actually curl up in your lap at night, but only after I've run around the block four times and done your estimated taxes.

For more information on this wonderful breed, please visit www.badrap.org

Now that I'm finished nursing my babies, I'm so ready to be adopted. I'm excited at the prospect of going home and living the rest of my life with the people who will care for and cherish me. I'm thrilled that some of my kids have found homes already and I'm hoping that the rest of them will soon be packing their bags and going to their permanent homes. Now, back to me. I'm so easygoing and eager to do things to please people that you'll be astounded at how easy I am to get to know and train. I already know how to perform some basic commands, like "sit." You'll just have to come to meet me so that you can find out what else other commands I'm able to obey. I'm also looking forward to learning more stuff that will make you happy and proud that I'm your girl. I'm looking for someone who's willing to accept my adoration and live the rest of their lives knowing that they have a canine child who believes that they are the most wonderful people ever. I know that dogs like myself often have a not so great reputation, but if you'll just give me the opportunity, I'll prove to you what an exceptional girl I am. Hopefully, you already know that Pit Bulls like myself are one of the most loving and loyal breeds on this planet. If you aren't aware of this, please check out the website noted on my information here, and you can find out what incredible dogs we are. Anyway, being a new mom took up a lot of my time when I was first here. But now I'm looking forward to the day when I'm able to "go home" and begin my life as someone's beloved canine companion. Please don't overlook me…get to know me and you'll be impressed and captivated by what a superior, loving soul I am.

I'm a tiny lady with a lot of charm. A victim of hard times, I was surrendered by a family that could no longer take care of me and my two babies. I have a great deal of love to give and although a bit shy, could be coaxed into waiting arms at the drop of a boa. I know that my babies will get homes, but I've already gotten my girlish figure back and I need some people to cherish. I could be a roomie with another dog, but best of all would be adult humans. My great big chocolate eyes will melt at the sight of you, and I would like nothing better than to cuddle with you for an evening of TV and togetherness. With a little TLC, I could be showing you my belly button like my namesake!

Despite some hardships, I've kept up my nice shiny coat – even threw in a few highlights! We could make some beautiful music together…

I know you just want to squeeze me, thinking I'm a Steiff stuffed animal, but I'm a real live guy! My impeccable white fur is sporting a summer cut, and these long Bambi like legs are probably from a Bedlington Terrier, but I have Poodle-ness to spare! I'm probably best off with older kids or adults, but I have so much love to give. I'm sure you can see it in my face – there's a long story behind these eyes about the life I lost when I came to a shelter. Maybe we could sit down and talk about it at Starbucks, while people "ooh" and "ahh" over me…

People have told me that I have "Peter Pan complex" – maybe that's because I could fly with these ears! All the better to hear you say "I love you." I'm three years old, but truly look more like a puppy. Could be the energy behind my breed mix – rat terrier and Chihuahua. Anyway, it's a winning combination, if I do say so myself. A very economically sized dog, I could even go for apartment living. It doesn't take much room to be loved.

Choosy With Dogs, Cats Okay, Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner, Training Classes Recommended

A super active and affectionate canine, I want to discover what it feels like to PERMANENTLY belong with experienced dog people who truly care about me. I'm so grateful that I'm being fostered and that I'm learning proper "in home" behavior. I truly appreciate the fact that I no longer reside in a kennel run. BUT....I'd be even more happy and relieved to know that I'm living in the environment that I'll be in for the rest of my life. I've had lots of training and even if I do have a few behavioral issues, I'm a young, super guy who deserves a forever home. I walk well on a leash and going on long walks is one of my favorite things to do (besides getting lots of love from humans). You'd be passing up a terrific opportunity to find true love if you pass up the chance to get to know, and adopt me. By the way, I'm really cute and have a great, outgoing personality. And, F.Y.I., I really do NOT enjoy being an orphan. So, at least give me the opportunity to prove to you what an astounding critter I am. Call and let the people here know that you'd like to meet me. They'll be glad to call my foster mom and ask her to bring me over. Okay? Pretty please?

A good looking, attention seeking lover boy, I'm hoping that my stay here will be brief. I simply adore being with people. In fact, I'll jump right into your arms and lean against you with the delight of feeling close. My eyes will look up at you with tender devotion and you'll have a hard time resisting my charming ways. In fact, I may even break into the song, "Try A Little Tenderness." On second thought, it would sound more like a howl if I tried this, so I'll just leave it to you to understand my message of love. Aside from having an awesome attitude, I'm actually quite active and we can have so much fun, going for long walks and exercising together. In fact, if you need someone to motivate you to get off that couch, I'm your guy. Petite and personable as they come, I'm counting the seconds until you show up to claim me as your very own love bug.

Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner, Best As Only Dog

I absolutely adore spending time with people and I used to get all excited when someone stopped in front of my kennel run. My heart would race at the thought of being taken out for some quality time with a human who will see me for the extraordinary fellow I am. Now, I'm extremely fortunate to be in a foster home and I'm finding out what it's like to truly be part of a family who loves me. I'm also learning appropriate "in home" behavior. Filled with energy, I love going for walks, playing with toys, and simply hanging out with people who will give me some of the attention and affection that I crave. I've been an orphan for way too long and as much as I appreciate being in a home now, I'm incredibly anxious be formally adopted so that I'll know that I have a permanent place to call my own for the rest of my days. I have many years of devotion to share with my guardians. Even though I don't appreciate the company of other dogs, I'm such a dazzling, delightful critter that you'll have no need for another canine in our home. I mean, not only am I great looking, but I'm full of personality and I can't wait to begin my life with my adopters. I'm ready to do whatever I have to do to prove to you that I'm the guy you've been waiting for!

Hi, I'm Trevor. I was at Pet Orphans a very long time ago and I got adopted. It was great, living in my own home, but, suddenly, I was an orphan again. OUCH...THAT HURT! You know, I'm grateful beyond words that I'm being fostered in a wonderful home...with fabulous people. But, I still miss knowing that I am truly in the home where I belong...and will belong forever! I'm timid when I first meet people and I'm crossing my paws that this doesn't deter you from taking the time to get to know me. Once I'm comfortable with folks, I'm a real love bug who will look up at you with pure, unconditional love in my big, brown eyes. It will definitely be worth your while to give me the time I need to warm up. Being in the arms of someone who will share a couple of kisses and hugs with me, is glorious and I have many years of blissful togetherness to share with my new, permanent guardians. Just think...I've been living in a home for awhile now, so I'm used to it and this will make my transition to your home easier! There are other dogs in my foster place, so that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, bring your current doggie along here and let us meet. I just can't wait to have the opportunity to prove what a gem I am. I'll be thrilled to be the one who brightens up your day with my charms and undying devotion. I promise you that I will be the best canine pal you could ever hope for.

I'm a Chihuahua mixed with something that gave me this amazing ebony coat. I'm such a feminine little thing – you could almost carry in your pocket. I'm not even a year old yet, but I already have an appreciation for the finer things in life. I could curl up in your lap in the evening and watch some "Animal Planet"…all right, "American Idol" – whatever you say, I'm agreeable!

Dogs Okay, No Cats, Adult Home Only, Paid For In-Home Training

Here I am, an orphan who's longing for a permanent home where I can celebrate life with people who truly care about me. I ache for love and commitment from my very own humans. I'm truly fortunate to be fostered by terrific people, and I've learned how to act appropriately in a home environment. I'm extremely well behaved inside of the house and I'll follow you anywhere, waiting to bestow some doggie loving upon you. It's so nice to find out what it's like to be cared about and cared for. The people at Pet Orphans do all they can to meet our needs, make us comfortable and feel loved, but there's so many lonely orphans, it's just not the same. A place to call my own...for the rest of my days..that's all I want...that's all I need. I simply can't comprehend why somebody hasn't claimed me to be their very own, permanent doggie pal yet. I'm really a loving, loyal, little girl who will bring enormous amounts of happiness your way. With many years left to share all the love I have inside, all I want to do is be by your side and share your existence with you. Pet Orphans will pay for an in home training session and that will help the transition as well. I will feel so blessed when I'm adopted. I'm serious when I tell you that I'll spend every minute of my life, heaping gratitude and affection upon my family. You'll never regret your very wise decision to adopt me.
