Story

Beautiful Bilbo awaits his forever home with you! This charming 8-year-old purebred rat terrier weighs 30 lbs. and is a fun-loving big bundle of joy. He's house-trained and knows how to sit, lie down, stay, wait, and play dead on cue. He does wonderfully on his leash during walks and loves to play tug-of-war or be chased around by the humans. Bilbo is also happy to chill with you on the couch and receive love in the form of belly rubs and bum scratches. He is even used to staying home alone and has no separation anxiety. He's a well-behaved dog that will come to you already adjusted to sharing a house and being a fantastic companion. Like any rescue, he does have a few very manageable quirks. A leash is essential when he is outside because he doesn't always come when called. He is a resource guarder with food and will bite if he thinks you might take his food away. It's important that you tell him to 'wait' while you put his food down and then leave him alone while he's eating. Young children don't understand this, so Bilbo needs a home without kids. He is also just generally uncomfortable around kids and can be defensively reactive. Bilbo gets along with some, but not all, dogs. Applicants who own other dogs should be agreeable to a meet-and-greet in a neutral place to see if the dogs get along. Are you the person that Bilbo has been waiting for? This handsome, silly, and already-trained rattie needs nothing more than a loving home to be the incredible companion he was always meant to be. For additional photos, visit Bilbo's album at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/bilbo.Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/ From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. July 14, 2024, 10:30 pm

Story

Meet Ruger! He is the product of two unfixed dogs that ended up with a litter of Yorkie/Weimaraner pups! He is roughly 14 lbs. We got him about 10 years ago as a puppy in Archer, FL. Since then, we have acquired another dog, and two children. Ruger, while very patient, kind, and playful, does have some anxiety issues. He gets nervous during storms or when locked in a room by himself. He does not always get along with our other dog. While he does socialize well, he is protective of his toys and territory. Ruger is a true lapdog best friend. He loves to sleep at your feet or curl up on your lap. His favorite food to eat is chicken! He enjoys sunbathing! He no longer gets the love and celebration he deserves due to our life schedule and his conflict with our other dog. While it does pain our hearts to rehome him, Ruger would live a longer and happier life with someone who could give him the attention and love he needs without the stress of competing with another dog.

My pet's name is Koda. He is a hound dog. He is 3 years old. He likes to sleep all day. He rarely barks. He has separation anxiety, so when you try to leave he will try to bark. I am looking for someone to take care of my dog since I have lost my job and have no source of income to take him to the vet.

Story

I've had Munchkin since he was a puppy. He is now 15 years old and pretty much sleeps all day due to his age. There's a few reasons why I'm trying to rehome him. First one is because he has health issues that I can't afford. He has dental problems and has cateracts. But, even though he's blind, he can still find his way around our place. He's not used to being in a kennel or any type of cage. He usually roams free around the apartment. He can be around other dogs or kids but he won't pay any attention to them. I am looking for someone who will have the time, patience to care for him and experience with senior dogs. I hate having to rehome him but I just can't afford his health care anymore.

Story

Alright, quick sad story first. My mother-in-law at 72 suddenly passed away. She left behind a few small wonderful dogs she had rescued over the years. My family and I already have 7 of our own animals, so unfortunately we can’t keep all of hers as well. We’ve done our best with the situation and have found loving homes for most of them. This sweet boy is one we’re still searching to find a forever home for. Thank you for your consideration, we will get him to anywhere there are good people with a loving home for a simple animal. Comes with his own bed, crate, toys, leashes, basically The Works. Meet Curly!! A quiet relaxed animal, health has been normal he eats/sleeps/drinks/bathrooms regularly, does fine crated but isn’t especially happy to be and will stay in his “area” unless he needs the bathroom, he’s a bit skittish of an animal missing his mom of so long, he can navigate a pack or be on his own, patient and nice animal that needs a good home/love, can go off leash comes when cal
