Story
Energetic 3-year-old Luna spends long days alone, tolerantly resting in her crate while her humans are at work. But she yearns for a new home where she is more free to romp, run, chase critters, and play fetch, getting plenty of interaction with an active and engaging family. She's prepared to dazzle you with her repertoire of tricks, including sit, stay, paw, lie down, roll over, kissy, and spin. She'll even balance treats on her nose then toss them into the air to catch! Luna is a fun-loving, spunky girl, who is always in the mood to go on adventures, and she never fails to bring toys back to keep a game of fetch going.  After she has tired you out, Luna's content to relax on her bed or snuggle up beside you for a nap, particularly if you are offering belly rubs. She's fully crate trained and house-trained but needs continued work at walking more calmly on leash. She's eager to engage with other dogs who are similarly fun-loving and energetically playful; because she's a big girl for a rattie mix (35 lbs.), other dogs who are smaller, timid, or grumpy might be annoyed by her persistent liveliness. Luna is extremely smart and highly motivated by food. She has been trained to not take treats or food unless told 'take,' and if she gets possessive over high-value treats or things she shouldn't have, she'll listen to you when you say 'leave it.' Taking her guard dog responsibilities seriously, she'll alert her humans to suspicious noises or people outside and will greet newcomers to the home with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, however, she'll accept the new friends and offer them her toys. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource guard food and treats makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for an active and attentive household whose members spend much time at home. See more photos of Luna at www.imageevent.com/Newrattitude/luna .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.

Story
We adopted Cody in November from the petsmart adoptions they were having for the storms, he had been terribly neglected and they had to shave him down, which left him with scars. No one had wanted him but we saw he needed a home so we took him in; Cody is a good boy and follows you around everywhere, he doesn’t need a leash just watch him. One thing we did notice is his lack of hearing if he can hear at all, so he is jumpy when he can’t see you. When you let him outside he’ll come back and bark to let you know he wants to come in.Cody does have Cataracts in his eye due to how poorly his other owners treated him. Me and my family will be sad to let him go but he needs a family that can dedicate a lot of time to him and baby him. He has been having a lot of accidents in the new house, more than he did the other and we don’t know if it’s because he wants more attention or if he just can’t hold it when he needs to go, we did let him out quite a bit but he doesn’t like to stay out too long.

This is Kiara she is 4 years old currently, but will be 5 on February 20th. She is fairly calm and obeys but also enjoys playing. She does tend to bark a lot. She is the daughter of my late dog. She also has a brother named Prince who is older by a month. I would love for them to be adopted together, but if not possible that is okay.

Story
I am helping my mom who unfortunatley is in a skilled nursing / rehab center and diagnosed with dementia. We need to vacate her apartment and find Toto a good home by the end of this month. Asking for a rehoming fee only because I hear that is safest for the dog. If we find the perfect fit, this can be waived. Todo is about 7-8 years old. He is a protective dog of one person so if you adopt him that may be you. I would not recommend having him around children. He's friendly and has stayed at Day care and boarding without a problem. The groomer he's fine with as well. He mainly unpredictable around his owner (my mom). He is a bit spoiled with his treats and his dog beds and heating pad. His beds, treats and wardrobe will be included. He's a cute pampered pooch with lots of personality. He is a great companion and will snuggle with you. He's used to being on the furniture. He walks well, is potty trained - and will use fake grass to do his business.

Story
Goose is 10 months old, 80 pounds and very high energy. She needs an owner with time and patience to work on obedience training. She is fully potty trained and sleeps in a crate all night with no issues. She knows how to sit and loves to play. Goose is not a snuggler she likes to be independent and explore. She loves playing with toys, swimming and jumping on the trampoline. She needs a family with more time for her and that can provide a space for her to run. She has been to doggy daycare multiple times when she was about 4 month old with no issues with other dogs her size and has been around children but she does jump. She will be rehomed with her crate, toys and food.
