Seniors for Seniors Candidate
Maybe he's "Nacho Bud" (not yo' bud) yet, but he would like to be if you will give him a chance! Little Nacho is 12 pounds and now about 9 years old. He spent his first year or so being used for breeding and receiving questionable treatment. He is timid when he meets someone and he is definitely hand-shy. He will yelp if startled and if approached too quickly he will run away. He will come looking for attention, though, if a person is still and will come when called if not being pursued. Nacho likes to get up and sit on a lap and be petted; although he is a bit tense when he first gets there, he will relax after he is petted for a few minutes. Although he is not aggressive toward children (or people in general), he is likely too timid to do well in a home with active children. He is good with other dogs but doesn't like to play too rough. He can get into a bit of dominant posturing with other males so would be better with female or easy-going male dogs. Or he'd undoubtedly enjoy being an only dog as this would give him more undivided attention to help him get over his insecurity. He is not interested in cats. He uses a dog door reliably and is well behaved in his crate.

Meet Jake! This handsome boy is one of a kind! He is amazing on a leash and loves to go for long walks. Jake is crate trained and loves to curl up in doggie beds. He barks a little at cats, but leaves them be if they don't antagonize him. Jake is working on his doggie socialization skills, but so far he is comfortable with dogs his size and smaller. Jake has a bit of a Napoléon complex, and is not fond of large dogs. Half of his tail & part of his haunches were stained yellow when he was found, so at some point he didn't have a clean area to be housed in. His fostermom hopes with time and a few good baths, new hair will replace the stained fur. Jake is a great dog, and he'd do great in an apartment or a house. He is 2 to 3 years old, and weighs about 16 pounds. To see more of his pictures please visit Jake's photo album.

Hi! I'm Sheba, a 7 year old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. Somehow I found myself stranded in a rural Ohio shelter when my family was no longer able to care for me. That's when I got lucky and Ratbone found me. I'm currently living with my fostermom and her dogs. I'm fine with other dogs, although I was a little frightened of the big dog a first, but I got use to him. My fostermom says I'm the sweetest thing and love everyone. I do think everyone should like me, and I want them to pet me; I'm very friendly. I probably should be in a home with adults or older children - no small, young children, as I'm a little set in my ways. I have this unique personality that when I want something I growl to let you know. I'm not mean at all, just trying to get your attention. Did I mention that I'm housebroken, too? I'm sure if you looked at my pictures you'll notice that I'm a little chunky. My fostermom says I need to lose weight and we have to work on that.... Well, I'm an older girl, and I do enjoy my food! I have a bad habit that my fostermom is trying to stop, but I'm not cooperating... I like to sneak in the bathroom and unroll the toilet paper, and I do eat some of it, but I'm hungry! I like to go for walks, too! So if you're looking for an older, friendly, mostly quiet (OK - I do bark a bit, especially at the dogs next door) girl that just wants to be loved, petted, go for a nice walk and have a soft cushion to lay on (preferably on a couch or chair).... you've found her! Here are some more pictures of me.

Adopted!
CongRATs to the Lindsay family!

Zuzu was rescued from a north Texas shelter. She had heartworms, but completed treatment with no lasting ill effects. Zuzu is probably about 7 to 8 years old, and weighs around 17 pounds; she's tall and "leggy", but has filled out nicely since coming into rescue. Zuzu is good with the other dogs at her foster home, and mostly pays no attention to the cats. She has not been around kids at her foster home, but with her temperament she should do fine with kids over the age of 7 or 8. Zuzu is now crate-training and housebroken! Now that she has been in her foster home for a significant amount of time, we can say with confidence that Zuzu is a very sweet, biddable, and affectionate girl to her humans. She will play with the younger dogs when they ask her to, and gets very happy and excited when all the other dogs do. Zuzu is not a noisy girl, but when she barks you sure can hear her! She would do well with a small family, or with a senior couple (or single person). Please use this link to visit Zuzu's photo album.

Rattatouille

My name's Rattatouille, but my friends all call me "Tewie". I'm about a year old. I came to my foster home from New Jersey, where I got dumped at a big dog rescue. I like to play and I like to dig holes. I am a beautiful blue merle & white purebred Rat Terrier boy, with one blue eye. The ladies who sent me to my Indiana foster home said I was a "designer dog reject", since I came with only one blue eye (instead of two). I am very lovable and handsome, so I don't think I'm a reject!! I like to go outside to play, and I sleep quietly in my crate at the end of the day. I will need a fenced yard because I like to explore and I might go too far and get lost without a safely fenced yard. I like men, women and children equally; maybe I should be looking for a family with some kiddos to play with! You can see lots of pretty pictures of me here in my album.
