Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Stanley is a gentle, sensitive boy who is blossoming more each day. He was born around Halloween 2025, weighs close to 20 pounds and likely will be medium-large when fully grown.He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, his affectionate, snuggly personality shines. He loves being close to his humans!He’s doing wonderfully with potty training, choosing to go outside almost exclusively and reliably using pee pads if needed (which is becoming increasingly rare). Stanley sleeps quietly through the night in his crate with just one quick potty break in the night, and seems to enjoy his cozy space.Stanley has loved the other dogs he's met so far, and seems to gain confidence from his canine friends. He tends to observe before jumping in and will often take cues from a more confident companion. Stanley is smart, playful and responsive to gentle guidance — even typical puppy behaviors like digging are easily redirected. With a little patience and reassurance, Stanley will be an incredibly devoted and loving best friend!Stanley is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and started on monthly flea/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $350 and you can apply to adopt at mpravl.org.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.
