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. August 11, 2024, 12:13 am

Story
Love-bug Wilson is an 8-year-old male rat terrier mix who weighs about 15 lbs. Wilson is a true couch potato and would prefer a quieter, more relaxed home to lounge his days away. He's an affectionate, kind soul whose favorite past times are eating, sleeping, and snuggling with his people.  He is fully house-trained and gets along well with other dogs and dog-savvy cats. Wilson does enjoy playing with other dogs but he's also content living as a single dog...as long as he receives lots of love from his people! Wilson requires a fenced yard that he can enjoy relaxing in and enjoying sunny days.  To ensure your home is a good fit for Wilson, a local adopter in GA is required. If you are looking for a totally sweet, mellow guy that loves to spend time with his people, then Wilson might be the perfect dog for you. For more photos of Wilson, go to https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/wilsonOur 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. October 6, 2024, 2:59 pm

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.

Story
Meet Amalfi! This sweet girl joined the Hero pack in August of this year, and is just precious. She’s a 5 year old Chihuahua mix, and quickly proved what a good girl she is. She is crate and potty trained, and she loves to play with sticks and her other toys. She loves attention (who doesn’t?!), and gives back the affection that she receives. She gets along well with smaller dogs, although the big guys do scare her a bit, so a slow introduction would work best. She does best eating separately from other dogs but is working on getting better at that. Hey, nobody’s perfect, right? This sweet pup would love to meet her forever family soon, and show what a great, loving family member she will be! Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
