Sandy

Location: New York
Meet Sandy. She is a 12 week old puppy who is being fostered in Albany, NY. Sandy got my name from her foster siblings who thought she looked like Sandy from the movie "Annie". Sandy is a great, happy girl who loves to run and play. She has a lot of energy, so she needs a family who will take time to exercise and teach her to be a good doggie. Sandy is paper trained, as you can see. She love kids and other pets. Sandy needs a home were someone is not gone for long hours during the day, and can give her lots of attention. She would benefit from attending a puppy training class, once she has had all of her puppy shots. Sandy is a great little girl, and just as sweet as a peach. Please consider her for your forever pup. Sandy will be ready to go home the end of August. Here's a link to a some of my baby pix.

Missy Foster

Location: Florida
Missy Foster is a 9 year old blue tri-colored Rattie who weighs 10 pounds and has been in foster care since the day after Christmas, 2009. She is still working with our veterinarian to get rid of a skin disorder which left her with raw, red hairless spots and gnawed paws. She is no longer scratching and her hair is growing back slowly from that tormenting itch she had. Her foster home has 2 other small adopted Ratties and 1 elderly older brother Terrier who sleeps most of the time. Missy gets along with Buddy better than her 2 foster-sisters and still wants to argue over food bowls. You see, she was found in an abandoned home so we have no history on how long she had to live without food. Sometimes she eats her food too rapidly, and then brings it back up. We just try to understand that because of her experiences she has this issue, so we feed her alone so there is no competitive eating. Missy also has a lot to talk about, especially when she hears a new noise or is sent outside in the yard alone. She is a watchdog for sure. She does not like to take walks on the leash at all, and prefers to stay indoors. We think she was trained to do her duty inside as well and will go on a small towel near our "facilities". Sometimes she leaves us a present just to let us know she needs more attention. We are continuing to work with her on her good manners. At the top of the list in describing this sweet girl are her brains and loyalty and playfulness. She loves to prance around the room with a toy or bone in her mouth and will do it for a long time. Missy will sleep in the bed snuggling with her fostermom all night, and follow her around all day. She is alert and active and likes to be the number one and only, even when the grand-kids are around. Missy would be happiest in a home without any competition from kids or other animals. She is a beautiful, sweet, adorable girl. Missy would make a great constant companion for an elderly person. Here is a link to Missy Foster's album.

Mollie

|
Location: Arkansas
Mollie was found at a job site by her current owners, about 4 years ago; she was alone on a busy highway. Her former owner eventually showed up and took her home, but later moved and left Mollie with their parents. When Mollie showed up on the job site again and the former owner's parents said they did not want her, she went home with her new family. Mollie has a fear of bigger dogs, but she will play with small dogs. When a new (much bigger) puppy moved into her home - Mollie fell in love with him. Mollie has recently begun having seizures. She was on medication but it did not seem to help. Currently she stays outside, in a crate, or in a room with no carpet when no one is home. Mollie loves children and small dogs. She does not like other "critters". She sometimes likes to hide her treats to save them for later. Mollie loves being loved on and loves giving kisses; she loves people more than anything! She loves to play and to look out the window. Mollie is a sweet and adorable dog with special needs - who is looking for a very special family.
Note: This dog is a "Guardian Assistance Placement" dog, meaning he/she is being cared for in a home that is not affiliated with Ratbone Rescues. The guardian has supplied vet records and signed an agreement giving Ratbone the right and responsibility to rehome the dog, but Ratbone does not have physical custody and cannot otherwise vouch for any of the information provided.

Bandit
 
2010-03-07
|
Location: California
Bandit was born in November 1999, which makes him 10 years old now. He weighs 7 pounds and lives in Sacramento, CA. Bandit originally came into rescue in December 2002 as an owner surrender, because his owner had to go into an assisted living home that didn't allow pets. He was adopted a couple of months later and was very happy, but due to some hardships in the home he had to come back into rescue in this year. Bandit is a very happy dog, but is a little timid around strangers. He loves to play with soft fuzzy toys and cuddle with his family. Bandit likes to ride in the car and will walk well on a leash with a little encouragement. He gets along with other dogs and tolerates cats, but is afraid of small children. Bandit is housetrained and crate trained, will use a doggie door, and listens to you.... most of the time. A quiet home without small children would be best for Bandit.

Prance

Location: Indiana
Prance is a one-year-old Rat Terrier/Beagle cross. He has beautiful eyes, and he is always looking for a good time. He loves to play and is more fun than a barrel of monkeys! He enjoys playing with his foster siblings or anyone else that is willing, and loves exploring the farm. Prance is very spunky, and would probably do very well with a family with teenage children, due to his high energy. He is 13 inches tall and weighs around 13 pounds. Prance is working on his housetraining and now knows how to use a dog door. Prance enjoys riding in the car. He has a full tail and a great smile, and his wonderful personality and prancing around sure does make everyone else smile right back. You will too!
