Story
Meet Wesley, a charming senior Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix who's ready to find a loving home for his next chapter. Wesley came to the shelter as a stray, and despite every effort, no owner could be located. Now he's hoping for a fresh start with a family who will appreciate his loyal and affectionate nature. This handsome guy has a moderate energy level and enjoys daily walks and regular exercise to keep him happy and healthy. He still has plenty of pep in his step and forms strong bonds with his family, happiest when he's included in everyday life. Wesley is bright, curious, and full of personality. He loves exploring on walks, spending time with his favorite people, and still has plenty of enthusiasm for life's little adventures. While Wesley gets along well with other dogs in social settings, he'd do best as the only dog in the home where he can be the center of attention and soak up all the love. If you're looking for a devoted companion with lots of love to give, this sweet senior is ready to meet you. Open your heart to Wesley, and you'll gain a loyal best friend. If you'd like to meet Wesley please complete the adoption application on our website, www.greatpets.org. Wesley's $150 adoption application includes his vet exam, neuter surgery, vaccinations, bloodwork, fecal, microchip and flea control.August 6, 2026, 8:42 pm

Story
Sweet Lola's goal in life is to live in a home where she can be in the company of humans as much as possible. She will lavish her total loyalty on one household member, but is loving to all. She could be happy in a one-person home or in a household full of adults and children -- she just doesn't want to be alone. At 10 years-old, Lola deserves that reasonable request. Want to go on walks? She is right there with you for as far as you want to wander. Prefer to just veg on the couch? She can do that, too. Have other dogs? She will totally enjoy chasing, wrestling, and cuddling with them. Lola is very observant, both visually and audibly, and will scan her environment for clues of what is about to happen. Her focus and intelligence do make her tend toward strong-willed stubbornness, but if you pair that determination with some treats, she becomes a gal intent on figuring out how to learn something new. Lola weighs a slender 13 lbs. so is the perfect size for an easily portable, constant companion. She has great house manners and reliable house-training on a day-to-day basis. When she is routinely left alone for long periods, however, she does get stressed out, and there have been occasions in the past that the stress has led to potty accidents. Learn more about this loving, devoted sweetie at  http://www.imageevent.com/newrattitude/lola  . 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.July 26, 2026, 11:43 am
