Stormy female

2009-12-29

Adopted!

CongRATs to the Foor family!

Location: Florida

Stormy was born on September 15, 2009 - which makes her about 14 weeks old. She is a "b-type" Rattie, weighs 7.5 pounds, and has liver & white coloring. Stormy has lovely green-brown eyes. She and her sister Blizzard were dumped in a high kill shelter in Louisiana, and saved just hours before they were to be gassed. Stormy is just a tiny bit shy, but she craves human contact, so she should be a happy, out-going puppy in no time! We do recommend that all our young pups have some obedience training after settling in at their forever homes, to help them learn to be the best companions they can be. Training also helps a dog to bond with it's new owner, so it good for everyone involved! To see more photos of Stormy (and her sister) please click here.

Sweet Magnolia female

2009-06-03

Location: New York

Meet Sweet Magnolia. She is a beautiful 3 year old who weighs about 7 pounds. Magnolia is a special girl and needs a very special home. Sweet Magnolia was rescued from a North Carolina Puppy Mill. She spent the first years of her life having babies, never seeing the outside of a cage. Magnolia needs to be placed in a Terrier-savvy home with a family that understands the issues that come with a Puppy Mill dog. She is a one person dog and is not good with strangers. She should not be in a home with small children due to her size. She is afraid of men and should be placed in a "women only" home. Magnolia is not house trained 100%, so she needs someone who can help her master this - though she does great in her crate. She should be with someone who is home most of the time, has a fenced yard, and is willing to dedicate a lot of time to help her overcome the issues she still has from her life in the puppymill. Magnolia still has fear issues and needs someone who is patient and loving, and who can let her adjust to and accept life in a new home; she is well worth it! She loves to be were-ever her person is, and loves to sleep in bed under the covers. Magnolia must be placed local to Albany, NY. She needs time.... and a forever home that won't push her too hard in new situations. If you think you have what to will take to make Sweet Magnolia happy - please apply today.

Horatio male

2009-12-29

Location: Texas

Horatio Ratbone is sweet and cuddly, and his fostermom thinks he has an absolutely beautiful face. He's about 3 years old, and weighs around 19 pounds (he's a Standard Rattie). Horatio came to us very, very thin, but is slowly putting on some much-needed weight. He will not only "sit" for a treat, but will also stand up on his hind legs and dance around. In fact, if he's curious as to what his fostermom is doing or making, he will follow her all around the kitchen and laundry room - walking up on his back legs like a human! We only have a few photos of Horatio because he will hunker down and drop his ears the minute he sees the camera, and belly-crawl out of the room at the first opportunity! His only "fault" (other than hating cats) is that he will bark when excited, bored or frustrated. We are hoping to find a family or individual who can see the potential for greatness in Horatio; someone who likes to work on training and leads an active lifestyle, so Horatio can become the truly great dog we know he can be... with a little bit of work, some training, and most important of all - a lot of unconditional love. Are you Horatio's special someone?

Louie male

2009-11-29

Adopted!

CongRATs to the McLeod family!

Location: Florida

Louie is 9 months old and weighs 18 pounds. He was rescued from a shelter in Alabama. Louie gets along with the other dogs and the kitties in his foster home. In his last (temporary) foster home he was around young children and did very well with them. He is now completely housebroken with a doggie door. Louie doesn't care to spend time in a crate, though he will sleep quietly in one if it's in his fostermom's bedroom. He's a bit shy when first meeting people, but quickly warms up and gets very friendly. Louie is affectionate, sweet & gentle - and loves to hang out with people. To see more pictures of Louie please click here. Swifty is eagerly awaiting his new Forever family!

Badger male

2007-10-28

Location: Kansas

One look at Badger's face will tell you this guy is just overflowing with personality. There may be a little Boston Terrier in his lineage, as he has a very short "corkscrew" tail, undershot jaw, and black and white coloring. His undershot jaw gives him a bit of a pugnacious look and his character sometimes matches. He had been surrendered because no one had time for him anymore and he was tied up in the back yard all alone. Badger gets along fine with 12 out of 13 foster Rat Terrier "siblings" but took a dislike to one, whom he is determined to whoop every time he gets in the same room. Because of this chance of aggression if the personalities clash, Badger needs to be an only dog or with a non-dominant female. He is 6-7 years old and around 15 very solid pounds. He is a charming fellow -- likes people and is fine with children but untrustworthy around small animals, including cats. Badger will sleep quietly in a crate but will complain if left in the crate while everyone else is active. He is housebroken, using a dog door reliably. Despite his rather "tough guy" appearance, Badger's personality will win you over quickly when you met him.
