Available for Adoption

LC - Texas

Hi! My name is LC, for Little Cow, because I have cow spots and also it sounds like Elsie. I'm three years old and weigh twelve pounds. I could stand to gain a little weight, though. My foster mom gives me some tasty food so I'm working on the weight thing. I am house trained and will go in a crate to sleep or sleep in a doggie bed, whatever you want me to do. I'm not destructive and can be left alone without any anxiety.

I lived for a couple of weeks with a nice family and their Rattie. Before that I lived with five Chihuahuas and six cats. It's a little quieter at my new digs and I am getting used to it...and I kinda like it! There's other doggies to play with me, but I prefer the little Rattie girl that is about my age; we have fun in the yard. I like to sit in my fostermom's lap at night and watch TV. I used a doggie door (in the door) at my last house, but this house has a doggie door in the wall and I am still a little unsure about it, since it has two flaps. I went through it yesterday when I saw a treat on the other side. The other foster rattie here told me to wait for the treats - no sense in going through it for free! She's been here longer so I listened to her - I'm smart!

I love to go for walks outside and see new territory. Those people on bicycles look like they're having fun so I bark at them to ride faster. Mom tells me to hush, they're riding as fast as they can! Check out my photos at http://imageevent.com/rattiemom/lc I'd be a wonderful addition to a quiet family that would allow me to warm up to them at my own pace. Could it be you???

Available for Adoption

Harry - Alabama


Harry is a 6 year old male Rat Terrier who left his adoptive family due to their illnesses. He has been well loved, so he doesn’t have some of the issues other dogs may have. Harry is house broken and has only had one accident in his foster home (the first night, after driving from Indiana to Alabama). Harry is a calm, loving dog who loves to play ball and run with his fosterRattie brother, JoeJoe - also a Rattie.

Harry weighs 22 pounds and the vet said he is in perfect health! He isn’t a barker. Harry does alert his foster family when someone is at the door, but he isn’t a “yip-yip” kind of dog at all. At the end of the day Harry likes to cuddle and watch TV, and he will let his fostermom know when it’s time to go to bed; he sleeps all night without needing to go out. Harry is great with children and even with strangers. He is very smart, and can say “Mama”! Harry does well at home with JoeJoe while everyone's at work. He has not chewed any shoes or broken anything. This dog is a sweetheart and a treasure. We know someone will be very lucky to get him!

Available for Adoption

Foxy Roxy - Florida



Are you looking for a “turn key” dog? If so, little Miss Foxy Roxy might be the dog for you! She’s housebroken (dog door or regular walks), crate trained, good in a car and on a leash, submissive to other dogs and humans, plus she’s sweet and snuggly. Roxy likes nothing more than to play and love her humans and canine companions. She has a very strong prey drive and will rid your yard of lizards and pesky squirrels.

Roxy was found as a stray and is in the last stages of heartworm treatment, so she will not be available for adoption until early December. She’s been a trooper spending all of her time in a crate during treatment. Her age is estimated to be no more than 2 years old. Roxy came into rescue thin but plenty of good food has her physique looking good and her soft fur shining.

She’s very playful, speedy, and mouthy so she might not be a good match for small children. However - she’s highly motivated by food and treats, so will probably train easily; Roxy's foster mama is waiting until her crate time is over before working with her. This wonderful little girl’s positive attitude would likely fit well in a variety of environments so if you are looking for a sweet, small, playful companion, Roxy just might be your girl!
