Story
Rio came to us as an owner surrender when his family was losing their home to eviction. He was one of a number of dogs in the home that needed new homes, and we were able to take 3 of them. Rio is a friendly boy who is somewhat timid when he first meets new people or encounters new situations. He warms up quickly! There's no aggression - he's just a little scared at first.\ He loves other dogs and we would like to see him in a home with at least one other dog. He was best friends with a dog in his former home, and seems to love having a canine companion or two. He would be happy to live with children 10 years old or older. Rio is a wonderful boy who will make a great family member!

Story
This handsome little fellow is Taco! He is a 7 month old male Rat terrier mix. He is expected to be under 25lbs when he is full grown. He is a little shy at first but when he warms up, he loves to snuggle and wants to be with you at all times. He still has lots of puppy energy and loves to romp and play. He is such a little lover and he never turns down a good belly rub. He would make the perfect lap dog! Although he is great with children, due to his small size we are not comfortable placing him in a home with children under the age of 7. He would make a great addition to just about any family! He is currently located down South at our sister shelters and available for pre-adoption. We do transports to NJ once a month. He can't wait to find his forever home!

Dice

Rat Terrier

Male, Senior
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dice is a 8 year old Rat Terrier looking for a special committed foster or adopter. As a result of never being neutered, he ended up with a large perianal hernia that was left untreated for a while. The hernia entrapped his bladder, leaving him in urgent need of emergency surgery and unable to go to the bathroom. Everything is back in place now and he's out of pain, but unfortunately he seemed to have some permanent damage to his bladder causing him to leak small amounts of urine and need a belly band. He does go to the bathroom when taken out otherwise and knows to be housebroken but just doesn't have full control. He's a sweet gentle boy, a little timid at first with new people and doesn't seem to be happy about other dogs. We know he's a tough sell but we hope someone will be willing to roll the dice on our special needs little guy. Please submit an application to meet him Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 8yrs 4mths 2wks
