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. March 10, 2026, 2:53 pm

Story
Meet Zuni — a tiny, tender-hearted girl learning to be brave . Zuni is a 1-year-old rat terrier with the most soulful eyes and a beautifully unique coat, like she was carefully painted with love. At just 15 lbs. with her adorable docked tail, she's the perfect petite companion with a quiet presence that grows on you more each day. Zuni came from a rural shelter alongside her two sisters after being surrendered by a breeder. When she arrived, it was clear she had been severely under-socialized, and the world felt like a very big, overwhelming place. But since then, Zuni has been slowly, bravely discovering that people can be kind—and she's made incredible progress. She is still a very shy girl, and new situations can make her nervous. Right now, Zuni is not ready for leash walks, as being in environments where she doesn't feel in control can be frightening for her. She will need a patient, understanding home that's committed to continuing her socialization at her pace, with kindness and consistency leading the way. Despite her shyness, Zuni truly wants connection. She loves being around her people in a calm, familiar environment and finds comfort in routine. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, adores treats, and absolutely lights up around other dogs—she would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion to help guide her and show her the world isn't so scary. Zuni may not run up to you right away, but give her time, and you'll see her begin to trust. She'll come closer, lean into gentle ear scratches, and quietly choose you. Those moments feel like tiny victories—and they add up to something really special. Zuni is looking for a home that understands that love doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it tiptoes in, soft and uncertain...until one day, it's right there beside you. If you have the patience to help a shy girl blossom, Zuni is ready to keep growing—with you . For more photos, visit her album at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/zuni  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.July 9, 2026, 10:14 pm

Story
Meet Kokie: The Little Old Lady With a Lot of Love Left to Give Hey there, I'm Kokie! I'm a 12-year-old black terrier with a greying muzzle, gorgeous golden eyes, and the kind of quiet, steady soul that only comes with age and experience. I've lived a good life — and I'm not done yet. I still have some get-up-and-go in me, and I have so much love to give to the right home. I do come with one important detail: I am a package deal with my best girl, Jussie. We've been together for over six years, and we go together — full stop. Personality: I am a cuddler. If you sit down, I want to be next to you. On the couch, on the floor, wherever you are — that's where I want to be. I love being petted, I love being close to my people, and I love food perhaps more than anything else in this world. Mealtime is a very serious event in my world. I know how to sit and I'm great on a leash — no drama, no pulling, just a pleasant little old lady out for her walk. I haven't been heard to bark even once in my foster home, which tells you a lot about my temperament. I'm calm, I'm gentle, and I'm deeply content just being near the people I love. My Story: I lost my owner — the person who loved me and Jussie for years — and that kind of loss is hard for a dog to understand. What I do know is that Jussie and I have each other, and that matters more than anything. We've been together for over six years. She is my constant, and I am hers. Separating us isn't something we're willing to consider — and honestly, once you meet us together, you won't want to either. Kokie & Jussie: Jussie is my younger, bouncier counterpart and I love her deeply — even when she's being ridiculous. I'm the one who watches calmly from the sidelines while she and the foster's Doberman wrestle each other senseless every morning. Someone has to be the dignified one. That's me. I'm the dignified one. Manners & Training: I know sit, I walk beautifully on a leash, and if you tell me "no," I stop immediately and stand at attention like the good girl I absolutely am. I'm not going to cause chaos in your home. I'm going to be a sweet, calm, easy presence who just wants to be included. Other Animals: My foster home has dogs and we've all gotten along just fine. Cats are an unknown — I haven't been introduced to any in foster care, so we'd want to proceed cautiously there. Health & Vetting: I'm spayed, microchipped, and up to date on rabies, distemper, and Bordetella. Heartworm negative and negative for intestinal parasites. Why You'll Love Me: I am the easiest kind of love — steady, quiet, grateful, and whole-hearted. I've been a good girl my whole life and I just want a soft place to land for whatever years I have left. If you adopt Jussie, you get me. And I promise you — we're a deal worth taking. Ready to be our people? Love, Kokie ##2774377##
