Story
Brandy is a 1-year-old rat terrier mix who is house-trained, great with other dogs, and friendly with people. She’s energetic and playful, but may not be ideal for homes with small children due to her tendency to nip during play. Brandy is very vocal, especially when she's excited about dinner or playtime -- she sounds like a little "demon" but in the best way! At night, she sleeps in our bed, though she’ll happily move to a dog bed if she’s had enough. In the mornings, she’ll greet you with kisses or a wagging tail to help wake you up, making sure your day is off to a great start. Brandy loves walks, though she can be a bit unruly for the first few minutes. Once she settles, she walks well but tends to be reactive to other dogs, so a harness is recommended to prevent injury to her neck. Brandy is healthy, though she does have bilateral luxating patella, a condition she was likely born with. The vet suggests keeping her under 16 lbs. to manage it. Her ideal home would be active, possibly with another dog her size who enjoys playing. Brandy is smart and would benefit from formal training.

Meet Kiko and Kody! These adorable 8-year-old Rat Terrier brothers came to us after being surrendered to local animal control. They are sweet little guys who love to sit on your lap or shoulders. Kiko is a bit over 10lbs and Kody is a bit under 10lbs. They've done well around the other dogs so far here as well. They also appear housetrained. They're wonderful boys and have quickly become staff and volunteer favorites! Kiko and Kody are a bonded pair and looking for a home together.

Story
Little buddy Lake is on the lookout for the perfect forever home! He's a 12.4 pound Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix and he's about 5 years old - the perfect age to be a chill companion while still entertaining you when he's getting his zoomies out! And zoom he does! His foster mom reports that he has crazy fast zoomies around the yard! He also likes to play with other dogs in the yard, but he's pretty indifferent to them indoors. Lake came to TNT from a hoarding situation, so it will take him some time to truly feel comfortable with his adopters. He'll do best with older children or in an adult only home, and he would love to join a quieter household where someone is home a lot for him to gain confidence and comfort with them. He's already crate trained, and he does well with both potty pads and doing his business outside. The last piece to the puzzle is really just finding him a safe place to land, where he can truly come out of his shell! Please let us know if you'd like to meet this special fella! Lake's adoption fee is $400

Story
Jack was born in rescue after his mother was surrendered when owner passed away. He and his sister were the only surviving pups. The mother rejected them at 2 weeks, and they were bottle fed until able to eat puppy food. Jack is a good and smart little boy. He has mastered pee pad training and will start learning house training very soon. We do not allow puppies to touch ground until they have received multiple distemper parvo vaccinations. His siter is with a foster to adopt and now it's Jack's turn to find his family. Look into those eyes and tell me he isn't the most handsome little guy. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC.
