GI Joe - Pennsylvania

"Hi! My name is G.I. Joe, and I came to my fostermom on July 11th, 2009. I am an active Rat Terrier, approximately 6 to 9 months old. I love to play fetch and run with my foster brothers and sister." G.I. Joe answers to his name: Joe, Joey or Joe Joe. He knows the commands "sit", "stay", "no", "outside", and we are currently working on "drop it". After a long day of playing Joe enjoys sitting in the rocker/recliner and rocking himself to sleep. Joey is crate trained and will sleep all night in his crate. He is a pup full of love and energy, just looking for a furever home of his own. Joey has been on a strict schedule while being part of his foster home's pack. They rise at 6 am for the first potty call and continue on through the day with regular walks and potty calls. Joey does fine with older children, ages 6 and up. He loves squeaky soft toys and he loves to chew on "cow toes" and hard toys. Joey is afraid of loud noises that startle him, like lawn mowers, motorcycles, etc. If you think that Joey is the guy for you, please apply today. And just remember - a tired Terrier is a happy Terrier!

Coco Bean - Florida

Cocoa Bean is a male dog, 5-6 years old. He was a stray, and is still finding out what certain sounds are in the house. Cocoa is about 16 pounds, and is a good looking dog. He will chase cats if they run, but otherwise he will leave them alone. Cocoa does not like being left in the crate and will howl if left - and can hear you if you're still in the house. He is doing great with his potty training and his fostermom leaves him out loose in the house most of the time. Cocoa gets along with all the dogs in the house, whether they are bigger or smaller. He also has done well with children. Cocoa Bean loves to watch TV with you and loves to sleep in bed. He responds to "sit" and "stay" so far and does well on a leash. He is a gentle soul and os looking forward to his Forever Home.

Creole - Florida

Creole was rescued from a Louisiana shelter, along with his mama (Gingersnap) and his brothers and sisters. Creole was born on February 9 (2009), so he's a little over 4 months old. He weighs just a bit over 8 pounds, so we think Creole will probably be 16 to 19 pounds when fully grown. Creole is completely paper trained and working on house-breaking. He has learned to use a doggie door, and mostly tries to potty outside. Creole has not started crate training yet, but will in the next few weeks. He plays nicely with his siblings and is generally respectful of the adult dogs here. He is used to living with cats, but not children (though he should do just fine in a family with kids). Creole is hoping for a family of his own who likes to spend lots of time going walkies and playing with all kinds of toys. He would like a K-9 brother or sister in his forever home, but thinks being an only dog might not be too bad either.

Romeo - New York

My name is Mr. Romeo Ratbone and I'm approximately 2 years old. I was rescued from a shelter in NY after my first family turned me in because they were moving to an apartment that didn't allow pets. Lucky for me my fosterMom came along and saved me, and now I'm looking for my new Forever home. My fosterMom doesn't think I'm a purebred Rattie - she might be right too; I think I may have some Chihuahua in me. I'm really good about letting her know when I have to go out and do my business, plus I don't take long at all doing it either. I was a little skinny when she brought me home and I thought she was going to swipe my food every time she put it out for me; I finally realized that no one was going to take it, and now I take my time to chew my food. I can be crated, but I'm currently hanging out in a playpen - which I really like going back into after I go for my walk and eat my food! I was a little timid at first, and I am still not all that crazy about my fosterDad when he comes to my playpen (whether my fosterMom is home or not), but once I'm loose in the house I love, love to be petted by both my foster parents, and sit in between them while they watch TV. I like to play with my toys, can answer to my name, and I know how to walk on a leash. I probably will do best in a home with children over the age of 12, and as the only pet. Do you think you can help me find my forever home? To see more pictures of me http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=c6zb06p.5225h9b9&x=0&y=li839v&localeid=en_US

Marlee - Florida

Are you looking for an affectionate, fun-loving companion who will shower you with love and kisses? Look no further! I’m the 2 year old beauty you are looking for! I’m right here in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. My hobbies are hunting, playing, going for walks, cuddling and chewing on my bones. My foster parents are wonderful but I am looking for a permanent place to move my bed and toys. I’ve been living with them since January and it’s been quite interesting for them and me! I came to them HW+ and they took me right to the Vet so I could get well. I surprised them a few weeks later with a puppy (he was hiding up under my ribs and nobody realized he was there!). My baby is adopted now. I live with 4 other Rat Terriers, but they are all much older than me and don’t seem to want to play the way I do. I get along with all of them. I love to eat and dinner time is my favorite time of the day. I like to go on long walks and I usually do much better when I don’t have to walk with the pack. I enjoy my alone time on my walks! I like riding in the car and going to new places. If you are interested in me please fill out an adoption application. I just want a home I can call my own…forever. Sincerely, Marlee Malone Ratbone

Tessi - Georgia

Tessi is a purebred Rat Terrier who is 8 years old. She was put in a Tennessee shelter when her owners became financially unable to care for her. When she first arrived at her foster home she was fearful and confused, but has settled in very quickly and is now cheerful and ready to play with the resident ratties. Her favorite place to be is in a lap or lying by your side. She chooses a tennis ball to play with over all the other toys. She hasn't mastered the doggie door yet, but has not had one potty accident since coming into foster care. Tessi sleeps in a crate all night without a peep. She is frightened of thunderstorms (some of them can be very scary). Tessi weighs 17.6 pounds and could stand to lose about 3 or 4 of those pounds. She is a very gracious, sweet and affectionate lady who is looking for a loving family to spend her later years with. Would you open your heart and home to this dear sweet soul? If so, please appy for Tessi.... you will not be disappointed.

Tehya - Florida

Tehya is a Native America word meaning Precious, and this 4 month old little girl is definitely a Precious Dawlin' (dawlin': southern for "darling")! She was dumped at a rabies control center as a baby, barely old enough to leave her Momma. She was saved one day before she was due to be gassed. She gives many thanks to Ratbone Rescues for saving her and giving her a chance at the life she deserves. This little girl has a long tail and a long, slinky body. She may be a mix of Rat Terrier and Dachshund. She is piddle pad trained and is learning to use a doggie door. She is learning about walking on a leash and should never be walked without one. Tehya is bouncy and fun loving, and is one curious little girl that has to stick her nose in where ever she can. She would love a fenced yard where she can play all day. If she had her way she would be outside all the time, but this is not a good thing. Sometimes you have to make her come in to cool off and get water - she loves the outdoors so much. She is learning the commands of "stop", "stay", "leave it", "drop it" and "sit". She does very well with "leave it" and "drop it", but is still trying to master the rest. Little Tehya has brought so much laughter to her foster family and fits in very well with her foster siblings. She is being crate trained but would prefer sleeping with her people. She often cons her fosterDad into letting her sleep with him. Tehya does very well with other dogs and does not bother cats. She likes to nibble on fingers so a home with toddlers may not be the best fit for her, though older children should be fine. Her foster parents always give her a Nylabone to take the place of fingers or anything inappropriate that she may chew on. She has never chewed on shoes or clothes. Tehya is waiting patiently on her Forever home. Are you the special someone that wants a loving lap dog to spend time with? Tehya will love you with all of her little heart. Can you give her the same love she will give to you? If so please apply today, a little one as precious as this little girl won’t be around long!
