Liotta was picked up on the street by a shelter. Because he looked like a Westie or Cairn, the shelter called Col. Potter with whom they had a good relationship. But, with his rangy build, long legs, and his non-Cairn weight of twenty-three pounds, Col. Potter feels he has no Cairn in him. Nevertheless, the Cairn rescue took him in, and he went to Lynne, an experienced foster parent.
Maggie and Molly are a bonded pair of miniature Schnauzers. When their humans were no longer able to care for them, they landed in a shelter. The shelter adopted them to a family, but, sadly, the adoption did not work out, and the two pups were returned to the shelter through no fault of their own. The adopters had just lost two dogs, and were simply not ready to adopt. Fortunately, for these two girls, the shelter, thinking they were Westies, then called Elizabeth of Lone Star Westie Rescue, a 501c3, all volunteer rescue. Elizabeth took them in to rescue even though she knew they were not Westies.
Rossi, a little terrier mix, came to Col. Potter Cairn Rescue along with his buddy, Martini, also a mix. Both lived in a loving home with an older couple who had adopted them from a local rescue. Sadly, when the couple died, there was no one to take the two dogs.
Martini is a Cairn mix that came into Col. Potter because his elderly owners died. They had originally adopted him from a local rescue and, over the years, provided him with a loving home. Martini at about twenty-five pounds is larger than the Cairn standard and has longer legs. He is about five years old.
Little Buddy Jackson should really be called Lucky. He was thrown out of a moving car in the Austin, Texas, area, but, fortunately, a good Samaritan saw what happened, stopped, and picked up the little dog.
Captain Jack is an older Westie, but this fifteen-year-old has a lot of life left. He is a happy boy whose smile and wagging tail light up a room. When he came to Caryl to be fostered, he adapted immediately. He walked right in with his tail wagging, and that well-known Westie smile on his adorable face. The captain came from a military family, and when a new baby with special needs was expected, they decided they couldn’t handle him anymore. Caryl suspects they didn’t want to be bothered and didn’t want to spend the money on him.
Kerri, a little Cairn girl, is currently in a Col. Potter foster home. Caryl, her foster mom, says she is a sweet girl that just wants to be near her person. She loves to curl up on a lap, and she sleeps on the bed with Carly. Carly calls her my little Klingon.
Jamison and Jaybee are two miniature Schnauzers looking for their forever home. They are very bonded so must be placed together. In fact, Dalton, their foster dad, says he has never seen two dogs more attached, and he has fostered a lot of dogs for Col. Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue.
A friendly, mixed-breed girl, Christina, Tina to her friends, was living a good life with an older couple who loved her very much. Sadly, her humans got to the point where they needed to downsize and decided to sell their home and move to a mobile home park. In addition, Tina, as a young active girl, was just too much dog for the aging couple, and, with no yard to run in, they knew she would not be happy in the new home. Tina’s humans tried to re-home her with friends but could not find the right new home for her. They decided to list Tina as free to a good home on social media.
Liam was found on the streets. Fortunately, he was taken in by New York/New Jersey Scottie Rescue. Erica, head of the rescue, feels that he was bred by a backyard breeder, and then was thrown out when he was diagnosed with CA.
