Adopt a Terrier in California

Terrier mixes vary widely but tend to share the bold, energetic, tenacious temperament the group is known for. Many are pulled from Southern shelters where small mixed terriers are abundant. A rescued terrier mix is typically scrappy, smart, and deeply loyal.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
