Story
Sweet, goofy Elton is a young guy at around 1 year old. He is an adorable chihuahua mix and weighs 14 lbs. Though he's a youthful pup, he is fully house-trained!  Elton loves squeaky toys, snuggling under blankets with his humans, going on long sniff walks, and being the center of attention. Elton does not love sleeping in a crate or sharing his favorite human with other dogs. For this reason, he should be the only doggie of the home.  Elton brings joy to his foster family and makes them laugh every day. He is an all-around good boy, who is waiting for his forever family. Could that be you?  For more photos of this darling boy, please visit https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/elton .  Beginning March 1, 2025, our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs or $300 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. May 4, 2025, 4:53 pm

Story
  Looking for the Best Decision You’ll Ever Make? Meet Snoopy.   There are good choices in life… and then there’s Snoopy—the kind of once-in-a-lifetime pup who will steal your heart and never give it back. This 5-month-old, 6-pound Chihuahua mix is the definition of love in a tiny, white, wiggly package.   Snoopy is more than just cute—he’s the perfect companion. A professional cuddler, devoted lap warmer, and full-time shadow, Snoopy wants nothing more than to be by your side. Whether you're binge-watching your favorite show or working from home, Snoopy will be right there, quietly soaking up your love.   And yes, he’s still a puppy—which means he’s bursting with playful energy and hilarious antics. He’ll bring joy, laughter, and a sense of wonder to your every day. He’s working hard on house training, getting the hang of his crate, and learning that leashes can be fun. All he needs is a little patience and a lot of love—and he’ll give both right back to you tenfold.   Snoopy is great with other dogs and has such a gentle, easy-going personality that we’re confident he’d charm even the most particular of cats. He’s small enough to go everywhere with you, and he’d love to be your travel buddy for life.   If you’re searching for a furry soulmate—someone who will love you endlessly, follow you anywhere, and fill your home with happiness—look no further. Snoopy isn’t just a good dog. He’s your dog. And he’s ready to change your life in the best way possible.   Reach out to us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and make the best decision of your life today.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMay 3, 2025, 12:17 pm

Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - CHEWY BREED - Chihuahua SIZE - About 12 pounds AGE - around 3 years GENDER - Male MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Chewy is a precious little dog seeking the companionship of a wonderful adopter! Not only is he adorable, but he is super sweet. Chewy came to us from a rural NC shelter with another little dog from the same home. We know little about them other than they're both learning to trust us and seek our attention, and we believe they will be phenomenal pets to new owners. Fully grown at just 12 pounds, Chewy is a perfect size for most homes! He is in good health, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He's great with all our volunteers and with the other small dogs in our rescue. Chewy is a quiet fellow full of affection. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to spend a good deal of time with him. He'd be well suited to someone who works from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with him. A home without larger pets or small children, and with a fenced, secure yard will be perfect for Chewy. We'd love to help you meet him and see for yourself what a great guy he is! Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Chewy and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Chewy at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting him and determining that he matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.

Story
Polly Pocket is available for adoption! She is 8lbs of wiggles and kisses! Polly is nervous in new situations but settles in relatively quickly. Polly needs a home with Pomeranian experience. Any children should be over 10 and respectful of her, as she is itty bitty. Polly hasn't met any cats, but she gets along pretty well with other dogs. She is learning to respect boundaries and doesn't always back off when another dog tells her to. Polly is learning potty training. She is spayed, microchipped, UTD on rabies and distemper, and heartworm negative.
