Meet Miss Brisby — The Ratties Litter

Miss Brisby made it safely to Wisconsin on 11/15 and is settling in beautifully with her foster family! She’s already getting comfortable in her new home, had her first bath, and is starting to work on all the puppy basics like potty training, crate training, and learning leash manners.

From a rough start to a second chance, Miss Brisby is ready to shine. She’s part of the Ratties litter — Miss Brisby (F), Templeton (M), Professor Ratigan (M), Rizzo (F), and Remy (M) — who came into a Georgia kill shelter after being surrendered by a backyard breeder. Heartbreakingly, this was the second litter from the same people in less than a year.

At just 6–7 weeks old (as of 11/5), Miss Brisby arrived skinny, malnourished, and underweight, but she’s thriving now and her sweet, curious personality is starting to shine through. She’s cuddly, resilient, and ready for a loving forever home.

Age: 6–7 weeks (as of 11/5)
Gender: Female
Weight: 5–7 lbs
Breed: Boxer/Bully mix
Spayed/Neutered: Not yet
Potty Trained: In progress
Crate Trained: In progress

Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes

Miss Brisby is ready for the next step in her journey — a family who will shower her with love and help her grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.


**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
