Story
What's an energetic terrier to do when her humans can no longer work from home, and is suddenly left alone during the day? She dreams of a new home where she can get the attention, exercise, and stimulation that an active young 3-year-old craves! While Luna spends long days alone tolerantly resting in her crate, she fantasizes about the freedom to run, play fetch, chase critters, go on adventures, and impress people with all the tricks she knows (like rolling over, spinning, giving kisses, and balancing treats on her nose then tossing them into the air to catch!).  Luna yearns for snuggles, belly rubs, and lots of human interaction. Surely those are reasonable desires! She's reliably house-trained and has been working on being a calmer leash-walker. Though she's a lover, Luna is uptight about new people coming to the house and reacts with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, she will accept the new friends and soon will be bringing them her toys for a game of fetch. Her alertness to strangers means she takes her guarding responsibilities seriously and she will notify you of suspicious noises or people outside. She would do best in a stand-alone home without shared walls, and in a quieter neighborhood. Luna loves most other dogs but she is a big girl for a rattie mix, weighing 35 lbs., so smaller, timid, or grumpy dogs could be annoyed by her persistent, playful energy. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource-guard high value treats also makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for active and engaged household whose members are home often. She's a super smart, highly affectionate, fun-loving girl! See more photos of Luna at www.imageevent.com/Newrattitude/luna .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 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. October 6, 2024, 2:59 pm

Story
We adopted Cody in November from the petsmart adoptions they were having for the storms, he had been terribly neglected and they had to shave him down, which left him with scars. No one had wanted him but we saw he needed a home so we took him in; Cody is a good boy and follows you around everywhere, he doesn’t need a leash just watch him. One thing we did notice is his lack of hearing if he can hear at all, so he is jumpy when he can’t see you. When you let him outside he’ll come back and bark to let you know he wants to come in.Cody does have Cataracts in his eye due to how poorly his other owners treated him. Me and my family will be sad to let him go but he needs a family that can dedicate a lot of time to him and baby him. He has been having a lot of accidents in the new house, more than he did the other and we don’t know if it’s because he wants more attention or if he just can’t hold it when he needs to go, we did let him out quite a bit but he doesn’t like to stay out too long.

This is Kiara she is 4 years old currently, but will be 5 on February 20th. She is fairly calm and obeys but also enjoys playing. She does tend to bark a lot. She is the daughter of my late dog. She also has a brother named Prince who is older by a month. I would love for them to be adopted together, but if not possible that is okay.

Story
Freki(Freckie) loves to play, kiss, and cuddle, and he is very treat-motivated. When he sees a treat, he will instantly sit and wait for your move. Freki is potty-trained and he's a very fast learner. He's highly intelligent and a very sweet, good-natured dog. We fostered Freki and his 4 sisters and 1 brother. He loves his sister Corby and would do well with any family. He avoids our cat with no issues. We have Freki, and Corby left to adopt out and they both get along well together. Freki has a great personality and he's very obedient for a 1-year-old. He has the most beautiful eye makeup. We call it guy-liner. No matter what, it will break our hearts when he finds his forever home. He's truly a joy.

Story
Corby is a sweet puppy who would do well as a single dog or along with her brother, Freki who she adores. Her favorite thing in the world is to lay next to you and she might even let you scratch her belly. We adopted a litter and she was the shy one but also the most loving. She's very smart and loves to play outside. April 11th is her birthday so she's almost one year old. She's very obedient, treat-motivated and house-trained. Seeing Corby find a forever home will be a great joy but it will also break our hearts to see her go. She is so sweet.
