Story
Zoey is a spunky 9 yr old purebred powderpuff Chinese crested. She belonged to my aunt who could no longer take care of her. I have all of Zoey’s papers from the breeder. She is a sweet little dog who needs lots of one-on-one attention. She has been trained to do many adorable tricks. She loves snuggling on your lap or on the foot of a recliner. She loves her blankets and pillows. I brought her to Maryland because there would be a greater chance of finding her a home. I already have a dog and my dog has not been happy that Zoey is here. Zoey requires a really well fenced yard. She loves to run around outside and chase bees and butterflies. she knows how to use a pet door. She does not like going outside when it rains you will need pee pads and continue to train her to go out. She does not understand cars and traffic because she grew up in a rural farming area. She will come with a crate, dog bed, clothes, harness, blankets, toys. She requires a low-fat diet. She is quiet rarely barks.

Story
We will never know Raya’s past, but she came to us from the shelter as a stray with urine stains on her fur and recently healed scars on her head and side. Raya is believed to be around 4 years-old and is probably a mix of rat terrier and chihuahua, now at a good weight of 9.5 lbs.! She had her spay and a small benign mass removed from her left armpit shortly after arriving, and saw specialists to address extreme pain during bowel movements. Finally, in November 2025, she had double knee surgery to correct her painful injuries. Although Raya has healed well she will probably remain a little lame on her right rear leg but that doesn’t stop her at all! She is back to going up and down stairs, can now get up on the sofa by herself, and is even dancing for her breakfast! Although she has mostly done well with the other resident dogs, she has displayed signs of resource-guarding with her crate. These behaviors might be related to the physical scars she has and her experience with other dogs prior to the shelter, so she would do best in a home with no children or dogs. Although she can be a bit barky at people and dogs when out walking, she is very treat-motivated and can easily be redirected. When introduced to the resident cat, Raya did not seem interested. Even though Raya does not ask to go out, she is reliably house-trained on a schedule. Raya is cute as a button, recovered from knee surgery, and is ready to start looking for her forever home. Considering Raya’s past, she would do best in a home where she would get all the attention and not have to share her human(s). You can see more of Raya in her online photo album at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/raya Because of her past injuries and recent surgery, we are looking for a local adopter to be able to meet her and learn more about her! 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.March 9, 2026, 11:01 pm
