Story
Beautiful boy seeking a new loving home! Bulba loves his two young human siblings, but wow do they ever take up a lot of their parents' attention! Gone are the days when Bulba was an only child, enjoying frequent hiking, traveling, and lots of outings with Mom and Dad, and the prime spot in his choice of laps. Now he plays second fiddle to the human kids in a household with a changed vibe—both noise level and activity level—and that is hard for a nervous dog like Bulba. So he is seeking a new home where he can get some well-deserved pampering as he finishes up his tenth year. Bulba is a smart, classically gorgeous 17 lb. purebred UKC-registered rat terrier. He knows all of the basic obedience commands as well as several tricks — he can dance, spin in both directions, and even jump through rings! He is house-trained, although recently he has started to soil in the house, which his guardians believe is for attention seeking. Bulba is good with familiar people, and wonderfully gentle with the two youngsters in the home, but he can be wary with strangers of any age, and will object noisily if they try to pat him too soon. He is not friendly with other dogs and will bark and even snap or bite if he feels cornered. With a new devoted family who can provide plentiful engagement, exercise, and enrichment, Bulba's confidence and contentment would certainly be renewed. Please check out lots more photos in Bulba's online album at http://www.ImageEvent.com/newrattitude/bulba .  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.June 3, 2026, 11:28 am

Niece and friend found her in Orlando at apartment complex. They had all shots taken care of and microchipped. We agreed to foster her for awhile. We have a docile dog already. She’s gets along fine but is quite the bossy lil one! Not working out. She’s perfect for a single person. Sweet little girl. Very smart learns quickly. Loves cats ❤️ loves to chase squirrels. Preferably a fenced yard. She likes being outside but not in the heat of the day. Crate trained. Comes with dog bed and all toys etc. she’s neutered. Looking for someone to love her. Great lapdog.

Story
Meet Sasha, this Hi there, I’m Sasha. I was born on December 3 and I had a bit of a bumpy start after being surrendered to the rescue. I’m keeping my chin up. My mama is a tiny lady only about 10 pounds so the human think I’ll stay nice and small just like her I might have a little bit of rat terrier spunk mixed in . A little about me. You might notice my soulful eyes. People might think I have sad eyes, but I’m actually a deep thinker, waiting for a heart to connect with. I have puppy energy. I love to explore play with toys and discover things I’m a lap expert. Once I’m done playing there is no where I’d rather be then tucked in your lap. I’m a world class snuggle I’m looking for a family or a person who will show me what forever really means. I’ll look up with you with those big eyes every single day to remind you how much I love you. Will you be my person?

Story
Hi, I’m Sunny. I’m a happy girl who was just waiting for the right person to love. Me and my sister were surrendered to the rescue recently and while change can be scary. I’m doing really well here. since my mom is only 10 pounds. I’m expected to stay small and portable the perfect size for adventure or afternoon naps. I have a fun spirit. I might have some Rat terrier in my DNA which means I’m curious alert and always ready for a game. I’m a cuddle bug. My favorite place in the whole world is right on a warm lap if you’re sitting down, I’ll be right there. I’m ready to learn. I’m energetic and smart. Just looking for someone to play with me and teach me the ropes and help me learn my manners I’m looking for a family or a special someone who has a lot to give and a little bit of room on their lap for a tiny girl like me. Are you ready for a little bit of Sunny in your life.

Story
Lola is a super sweet lapdog. She came to us when a coworker needed someone to watch her for a bit but then the coworker was unable to take her back. We have loved Lola very much but we believe she would be happier in a home where she could get the attention she needs. We recently moved to a new house with my husband and his cats and the cats are not very kind to Lola. It is very stressful and I would rather her be in a better situation.
