Story
Meet Sadie Sadie is a sweet girl with a gentle heart who’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue to learn to trust and feel safe!  She's made so much progress already in her foster home where she is fully house trained.  She loves other dogs and does well with large and small dogs.  While she’s pretty social with her canine friends, she seems a little too curious with the felines so best to supervise closely until certain!  This girl lives for a good game of fetch and will happily show off her frisbee-catching skills!  Once she feels comfortable, her playful, fun-loving personality really shines. Sadie can be a little nervous with frequent changes, and suffered a home where there was domestic violence, so she needs a home where she can feel safe, in a clam, predictable routine.   A calm, steady environment will help her feel safe and confident. She would do well with kids or older children who are dog-savvy and understand how to respectfully interact with her. Sadie is about a year old and 40 lbs and currently up to date on all her vetting, is walking nicely on a leash, and learning to trust more and more as her foster family introduces her to new situations.   She’s not looking for perfect — just patient. And in return, she’ll give you her whole heart. buttsmutts.com ##2596548##

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 3, 2026, 7:17 pm
