Story
Loyal, feisty 17-lb. Rocky is eager to please, a super snuggle buddy, and very motivated by treats and affection. This rat terrier/Chihuahua mix LOVES to run in the yard, chase his toys, and take long leashed walks. He is also smart and was a star student in his recent training class! He knows many verbal cues like sit, lie down, off, and place. When he needs recharging, he'll seek you out for some cuddling. He is reliably house-trained, rides well in the car, and has nice house manners. Anxiety about new people and larger dogs, however, is a challenge. They make Rocky bark and appear 'on edge.' A stranger ignoring these signals could get nipped. It has happened before. Rocky can be charming and affectionate and would truly like making new friends, but any potential friend must first slowly earn his trust. And while he generally gets along with dogs his size or smaller, his discomfort around bigger dogs could cause a scuffle if he's not monitored. On walks he ignores calm dogs passing by but lunges and barks at big, energetic ones. Because cats fascinate him and he's driven to chase them, kitties wouldn't make good housemates.  Now 5 years old, Rocky yearns for more space to run, fewer stressors, and lots of positive interaction with his trusted humans. His idea of heaven is a fenced yard and no other animals competing for resources or your attention. In a home with only adults who mostly stay home and have few visitors, Rocky will be happy, devoted, affectionate, obedient, and engaging. That's the real Rocky! And with your determination and love, he'll become your faithful companion for life. Rocky reveals more in his photos at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/rocky .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. November 8, 2024, 9:31 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. November 1, 2024, 6:01 pm

Story
        Hey, You, I think you are awesome! I haven't even met you yet, but I LOVE everyone I meet. I am Oskar Diego. I am about five years old and weigh forty-five pounds.   And while I only have a few teeth in the back of my mouth (just enough to chew delicious treats),  I'm strong and healthy! I have a good solid poop, you humans love that, right?  I am pretty good at walking on a leash. I enjoy spending time on the deck with you; staying inside is cool as long as we are together.  Not that I'm not good on my own; I'm a pretty self-sufficient young man, but I like to be near.  If you work from home or are home often, I will follow you and lie close to you. I want to be close to my people. But if you need to leave for a day, it's ok, I probably will nap all day. I have a good balance of sleep and play throughout the day.   I may take my time getting used to other pets, but I have experience living with other dogs, so I'm sure it's going to be ok. You will need to learn to shower me, because I may be scared of squirting water. And I have a strong personality: if I don't want to do something - you're going to hear about it. So, bring treats. They help to build trust and friendship between us. I am looking for: 1. A home where I can sit on the furniture with you and preferably on you! 2. A family that appreciates all of my kisses and hugs. I give A LOT of them! 3. A family that will be patient as I continue to learn good manners. 4. a family will treat me with respect: don't yell at me (I'm very well-behaved, I don't deserve it) and don't pull or jerk me around (my body - my rules). If you want anything from me - show a treat - I'm very smart, we will figure it out  I am extremely loving and looking to share my love with a family!           An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms    Please be sure to like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org    Note:  Some apartments and neighborhoods  have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.           November 5, 2024, 4:02 pm
