Read on for a little more about this cute, little pupper…!

BIG FAN OF: Being near her people. She’s not necessarily a lap dog, but she does love to hang out with you as much as possible. She’s a very sweet and friendly girl.

NOT A FAN OF: Loud noises, including thunder and fireworks. She is also not fond of cats or sharing her living space with other dogs, so she needs a home without them.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Patty is a great mix of busy and chill. She is energetic for an older dog but after some exercise she’s happy to relax with you. She loves walks, exploring, soft beds and food. She does great on a leash. She’ll be a sweet, fun friend for a lucky family!

OTHER REASONS SHE’S SPECIAL: Patty has a heart murmur, which may require medications, extra vet visits and additional diagnostics throughout her life. She has also been identified as having abnormally dilute urine, meaning she will need to go to the bathroom more often than the average dog. We have run tests but are unable to determine a cause. More info is on her kennel, and we’d encourage you to consult your veterinarian prior to adoption.

DREAM HOME: A relaxed place with a family who will take her on regular walks and enjoy spending time with her.

This little cutie is Mojo!

He’s a 9-year-old rat terrier — and he’s been through some major life changes recently.

He came in to rescue after his owner unexpectedly passed away, leaving him and his brother alone in the home. Thankfully, Tyson’s Place Animal Rescue in Jamestown, MI, brought both pups to a foster home. This rescue’s mission is extra-special; staffers here assist terminally ill people with finding new families for their dogs.

Mojo shows some signs of neglect from his previous home, and his experienced foster family is helping him learn that people are good and to trust once again.

Medically, Mojo is getting transformed, thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization. He was neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and had complete bloodwork done. He is about to get a dental cleaning to address some rotten teeth. As he gets more comfortable, and as his medical issues are taken care of, folks are beginning to see his true personality!

Mojo, sleeping sunny-side up! What a cutie!

He is snuggly guy who loves burrowing under blankets, sitting on your lap, and having his belly rubbed. He also loves going on walks, which is helping him shed some extra pounds! At 9 years old, he is middle-aged but still full of energy — wanting to play and excited when he sees the leash, eager to go on a walk!

He is a sweet boy who is learning to love. He would do best as the only dog in the home as he doesn’t like to share his people and enjoys being the center of attention.

That said, he does okay with other dogs while out and about and currently lives with other dogs. Like many terriers, he thinks cats are super fun to chase … so he would do best in a home without them.

Because of his past neglect issues, Mojo needs an experienced owner who understands that he needs time to learn to trust. Tyson’s Place will be with his adopter every step of the way, even offering behavioral training free of charge!

They want to set Mojo up for success with his new family!
