Story
Sophie has had a hard beginning, but all she wants is someone to love her. She needs slow introductions to new people as people have not always been kind to her in the past. Once she warms up she is a very silly and affectionate pup. She loves to play with toys and chew bones. She needs basic training, she knows sit and kennel, but hasn't had anyone to teach prior to being in her foster home.

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.April 4, 2026, 8:18 pm

Story
  This gregarious fellow is Dinky, aptly named since—despite his big personality—he weighs only 15 lbs. and stands just 12" tall. His small size makes everyone want to hold him, which is absolutely perfect in Dinky's mind! He loves being held like a baby, snuggling close to you, and sleeping with you burrowed under the covers. Being with people is his favorite part of life, though if people aren't available he will gladly make do  with other dogs. He enjoys wrestling with them, racing around with them (doing zoomies and jumping on and off the furniture), trying to steal their toys, and even just hanging out and napping with them. His playfulness extends to people, too, and he is in heaven when you try to sneak up on him to take away his toy so that he can joyously outwit you at the last moment. When Dinky has alone time, he'll entertain himself chewing on bones and toys...or maybe taking a snooze under a blanket, warm laundry, or any other cover he can find. Dinky is 3-4 years-old and has already learned many important things like loose leash walking, sounding the alarm when the lawn guys come, letting you leave the house without agitation, and verbal cues like "sit", "off", "come," and "dance"! He is reliably house-trained as long as you notice him when he is sitting quietly near the door (or, just take him out every 3-4 hours and all will be good). Strangers coming into the home are going to be greeted excitedly by Dinky, who will bark while he runs to great them, likely even trying to jump into their arms or onto their laps. As soon as the stranger pats him or talks nicely to him or—even better—offers a treat, Dinky is more than willing to cease the barking and instead bask in their attention and affection—especially if the visitor is a female. Dinky does have a bit of a mischievous streak, which you can read about in his online photo album at  http://www.ImageEvent.com/NewRattitude/Dinky  . This adorable extrovert absolutely needs a home where he gets a lot of people time as well as a canine sibling or two. Could he be for you?  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 18, 2026, 7:29 pm
