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
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
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 7, 2024, 11:46 am

Story
Clover says, 'I'm not green; I don't have four leaves. But if you pick me, you may be the luckiest person in the world.'  Why is that? Because when 2-year-old Clover picks YOU to be her #1, you'll be getting the prettiest, spunkiest, funniest 12 lbs. of rat terrier ever!   How does one qualify to be Clover's pick? First, you'll need to know how to gain her trust through respecting her tendency to be shy. Whether shyness is embedded in her DNA or comes from her experience as a stray prior to ending up in a shelter (or both), Clover may startle and jump at loud noises or sudden movements. If she runs to the other room, don't chase her! She'll just run faster and farther. Patience, peacefulness, and predictability will win her trust. Second, she would prefer NOT having to share you with other people or dogs. She can accept person #2, but they may always play second fiddle to you. She also gets along with the other small dogs in her foster home, but she would rather have all your attention for herself.   Finally since you two will be an item, she wants you around most of the time. That way, you'll get to enjoy the complete Clover--the one who snuggles and warms your lap AND the one who'll keep you laughing at her crazy antics. She does a great impression of Kramer from Seinfeld when she's possessed by an energy burst. Clover is reliably house-trained if kept on a regular schedule. She's OK walking on leash and harness but prefers a fenced yard for play and potty time.   Remember, it's OK to be picky when you're looking for that life-long buddy, and if you really want to get lucky, pick Clover! See more photos of Clover in her online photo album www.imageevent.com/newrattitude/clover .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.
