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. April 25, 2024, 1:00 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
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
Tiny Wren here. I am an amazing girl. Small as I am, I can leap right over the 3 foot fence in front of the house at the rescue and squeeze back through the slats to return! I’m a l’il laughing escape artist with “Flying Nun” ears who is a little shy at first but warms up very quickly. I enjoy the company of other dogs and I hold my own very well. I am eager to announce anyone arriving at the ranch and I am fully prepared to solicit them for treats. Although I am young, I have already had a litter of puppies, No more of that, though, as I’m being spayed the last week of April so I can concentrate on enjoying the puppyhood I missed. I am about 12 pounds full grown and approximately 1.5 years old. While I detests squirrels, she is actually good with cats… perhaps because they, too, are the squirrels’ enemies? https://www.jackrusselladoptions.org/adopt-a-dog/ As always, the rescue folks require that potential adopters have a secure, above-ground, fenced yard for my safety and security.

These pups are in Atlanta, Georgia too!

Story
Requirements: *Another dog in the home. *No cats (hamsters/gerbils/etc.) *No apartments due to barking Hiiiiiiii! I’m Cinnamon – my friends call me CC. I’m an enthusiastic about EVERYTHING! Are you excited? I am toooo!!! I weigh 9 pounds and am about a 6–9-month-old sweet girl. My foster family suspects I’m mostly Jack Russell Terrier with some Chihuahua thrown in for spice. I’ve been spayed and have had my shots so I’m ready to roll! I looooove people and other dogs and I’m a great conversationalist. I like to talk (okay, bark) and let you know what’s going on. No one will sneak in on my watch. UPS Delivery? Amazon? You’ll know they’re coming! I’m learning to walk on a leash and I’m also a superhero! I can jump a 42-inch gate in a single bound! I’m feisty and may be a little too excited about cats, squirrels, and chipmunks so keep that in mind. I had a rough start, so I need a little patience – just let me come to you (otherwise I might sprinkle a few drops). I’ll spring right up into your lap for pets and cuddles. I’m a quick learner and would love to learn some tricks! I’m already practicing “fetch”. You’ll never be alone! I can help you cook, clean, work in the yard, and am also great at watching movies, reading books, and taking naps. I’ll bounce alongside whatever you’re doing. Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids! Adopting from Releash Atlanta means you will adopt a dog that has been fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and medically cleared!! Our adoption fee is $350 **We only adopt to families in/around Atlanta, Ga (about a 1-2 hour perimeter)** If you are interested in any of our dogs, please visit https://releashatlanta.com/adoptable-dogs.php to either view more of their profile or to apply to adopt!

Story
Requirements: *No cats or smaller animals (hamsters/gerbils/etc.) Meet Churro, a pint-sized bundle of energy and affection that steals hearts wherever he goes. He is estimated 6-9 months old boy and weighs 9 pounds. Definitely a terrier, we suspect a blend of Jack Russell with a bit of chihuahua for fun. He has major spring in my step (vertical jump 42 inches+) Affectionate and snuggly, he loves to explore the house and yard and will come sit in your lap for pets and cuddles. He is crate trained as long as he goes out every 3-4 hours. He doesn’t like to be alone so needs another dog in the home or a human who is home most of the time. Churro is an excellent guard dog – he will let you know of any change in condition: delivery person approaching, squirrels in the yard, rain? You’ll never wonder what’s happening while he keeps you well-informed. Churro is quick to roll over for a belly rub at the slightest hint of affection. He’s learning to walk on a leash but is nervous and needs some time and patience to build confidence. He is a good listener and comes when called. Churro will be a constant source of joy and companionship. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic, talkative, snuggler Churro may be your guy! Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids!
