Story
Smidge is a 4 month old Fox or Rat Terrier/chihuahua mix. She is currently 7.5 lbs. Smidge loves to play with the cat in her foster home as well as other puppies. She is submissive to larger dogs but would prefer a smaller sized or playful feline companion. She is an energetic girl and loves to play with her toys and run laps around the couch. Once she wears herself out she is happy to sit on your lap and watch TV, she’ll even lay under your blanket with you. Smidge is working on housetraining and crate training; however, she has not yet mastered either and will need time and patience in order to learn these things. Smidge is current on vaccinations, on heartworm prevention, microchipped and spayed. She is currently looking for a forever home. LOCAL INQUIRIES ONLY

Story
I'm Eddie and you need to adopt me cuz I'm one heck of a dog! I'm 18 lbs., about 12 years old, and still like to play. I love stuffed toys--especially carrying them around the house, de-stuffing them, and using them (or the occasionally swiped shoe) to entice you into a game of keep-away. Betcha can't catch me! I like all dogs except big, scary-looking ones. I even have a cat friend across the street, but most kitties and little critters are more fun to chase! At home, I would prefer having you to myself. That way, I can get plenty of the things I love. I won't have to share your attention, and I can eat by myself the way I like. I'll have more space to myself on the couch and your bed (yes, YOUR bed) to sleep undisturbed cuz I might growl if suddenly awakened. You'll also have more time to spend massaging me when I need a bath.    I'm OK riding in the car but don't like to be crated for long. I'll potty outside using a dog door except when it's raining, so I'll expect a different arrangement for those days. When I'm out, I like people, including kids; I'll bark out a hello and then hope for some pets. However, unfamiliar events at home can make me feel nervous, and I'll get an urge to lift my leg on something to establish my territory. I'm healthy except for a couple of issues. I have a disc problem in my back, but with medicine (about $30/month), I'm OK. I also have skin allergies (mostly dust mites) and take daily medicine. Since starting twice-weekly allergy shots, I've reduced my need for the medication by 25 percent, reducing its cost by $25/month. Are you ready for Eddie? I know I'm ready for you! See more pics and video of me at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/eddie .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. May 6, 2024, 8:14 pm

Story
Have you heard the news??? Zara is available to be adopted . . . with NO ADOPTION FEE!! A huge thanks goes to Animal Legal Defense Fund for this! Because of ALDF, actress Kate Mara is sponsoring the adoption fee for some of our amazing dogs! Wow - can you believe it?? You can adopt one of our great dogs, and spend the adoption fee on new toys, soft beds, and yummy treats instead! ara, named Blyss at the shelter, ended up there when someone called and said there was a dog on their front porch. We don't know if she was lost, or someone had dumped her, but no one came to get her, until we did. This girl, who we think is a mix of rat terrier, min pin and a little bit of pittie, is a petite girl. She weighed 29 pounds when we pulled her from the shelter, and was a bit underweight, with some filling out to do. She is about 2 years old now, and is at her perfect weight, weighing about 38 pounds. She has a slender little body with long legs, a beautiful red brindle coat, and ears for days! If you have wanted a dog to do dog sports with - like agility - this sweet athletic girl may be a great fit for you! Like all of our dogs, Zara is in Atlanta. She can be adopted at any time, and will be available to go to her new home when she graduates from the program in mid-December. April 30, 2024, 12:03 am

Story
This Sassy, sweet boy is 4 years old. 10-15 lbs a cute little mix, Everyone that has met him has seen something different in him. So manybe a chi, pug, boston, pekingese mix...only a dna test would tell us for sure. He is good with other small dogs. Not as much of a fan of the bigger dogs 50 lbs plus, that's when his sassy side really gets to show. Not a fan of the cat. Love people and seems very social, will just jump up in anyone's lap. He came to rescue when his owner passed away and the family  could not take him in. The last year (or so) his owner being elderly and not in good health, did not take the best care of Bryce and his housemate Charlotte. There were many days they did not get to go out as often as needed and learned to find places in the home to potty. Since coming to rescue that has been Bryce's biggest struggle. We have crate trained him and he will not potty in his crate, we pick him up and recieve lots of face kisses as we carry him outside and then we run and potty on everything. We have him on a belly band/male wrap while inside the house to keep him from marking and that seems to do the trick until he wiggles his way out of it, LOL. It will take someone patient giving him time to unlearn bad potty habits. adoption fee $300 includes spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworms.To fill out an application visit https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/33868/generic ##1999642##

Story
This Senior love is estimated to be about 7-8 years old. She found herself at animal control when her mom was found deceased, no known family to take her in. She is very sweet and just follows you around, always wanting to be near her people. She is quiet, weighs about 20 lbs, She is great with other dogs and cats. At our last adoption event, she followed around a little girl as she walked Holly around the store on leash. She spends much of her day curled up on a large dog bed in the living room or following her person from room to room when needed. She would be a great companion for just about anyone looking for a great listener and someone to just be near. adoption fee $300 fully vetted: She came spayed, Is now up to date on vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and microchipped. Senior blood work looks good, with no concerns, she had a dental with a few extractions as well as a small mass removed from her abdomen. To fill out an application visit https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/33868/generic ##1999640##
