Story
Meet Pete, a playful and joyful little boy who knows how to have a good time. Whether it's wrestling with balls, toys, or anything that smells enticing, Pete is up for the challenge. He's even the type to stop and smell the roses, enjoying life's simple pleasures. While Pete can entertain himself, he thrives when another dog is around to share in the fun. After all the excitement of smelling and playing, he's happy to curl up in your arms, on your lap, or by your side for a relaxing "chill" session. Pete's personality is nothing short of huge, promising to bring amazement wherever he goes. This lovable pup is fond of kids, dogs, and anyone willing to spend quality time with him during the day. Despite his adventurous past of wandering around train tracks and causing a traffic pause when he was found, Pete is not a daredevil – he's just a guy on the lookout for a loving family to call his own. If you're ready for a bundle of joy with a big heart, Pete is the perfect addition to your home. ##1872059##

Story
Meet Bobbie, the tiny pup with a big personality! Fate brought Bobbie and her rescuers together. Good Samaritans found the sweet little 9-pound pup, soaking wet, shivering, and missing a lot of fur. They named her Bobbie, in memory of their dog Bobby who was rescued from the same area and who had recently passed away. Since being rescued, Bobbie has gone from being shy an scared to being happy and playful. This little nugget would thrive with another doggo so they can play all day! She is totally crate-trained and doesn't make a peep at night. Fill out an application to meet sweet Bobbie!

Story
Meet Raleigh, a super sweet and handsome 12-pound, 7-8-year-old rat terrier mix with a unique, funny-looking tail. Despite a rough start, Raleigh is now eager for a brighter future. He's a loving companion, thriving with other calm animals, and calm household, or as the sole pet in a home. Raleigh, having overcome being underweight, a broken leg, and heartworms, is a resilient soul ready for a caring adopter. While his healed leg doesn't currently bother him, future considerations may be needed, so potential adopters should be prepared for any financial responsibilities. That could include either amputation or arthritis medicine. Raleigh is a love bug who adores belly scratches and values being close to his people. Consider giving Raleigh the loving home he truly deserves, and you'll be rewarded with his affection and sweet puppy eyes every day. Also, Raleigh's resilience shines even brighter with the special note that he had a grade five out of six heart murmur, requiring a visit to a cardiologist in Grapevine before beginning heartworm treatment. Remarkably, after the first heartworm treatment, his murmur level decreased, showcasing his determination and response to care. While there's still a journey ahead, Raleigh's progress is a testament to his strength and the love and support he's received. Regular follow-ups with the cardiologist will ensure Raleigh continues to thrive in a caring home. Please understand that his heart condition may or may not shorten his lifespan. There are no guarantees either way. Consider being part of Raleigh's journey and providing him with the love and comfort he deserves. His adoption fee is $125 complete your application today at https://chloespetrescue.org/application

Story
Pretty Poppy is a 1-year-old rat terrier, who weighs 20 lbs. Poppy loves her people and is happy to curl in your lap on the couch or lie under the covers at your feet at night. She craves human attention so much that she's not happy to be left alone for long periods and if confined to a kennel, she'll cry and bark. However, she would make a great companion for someone who is home most of the day, and she's house-trained and can be trusted to have free rein indoors while you're busy in your home office.   A born leader, Poppy is always at the frontline of anything that looks exciting. Her sense of adventure can lead her two canine foster brothers down a path of naughtiness by amping up the energy levels, or it can lead her to dig her way under the fence if she's not watched. Her queen bee attitude can lead her to sometimes guard her food and bed space from her brothers. While she loves her 4-year-old human sister dearly, she can get snappy if she's pestered when she's resting. Any children would need to be mature enough to be respectful of her space and calm in their movement so as not to get her overly aroused.   Poppy may not have been treated so kindly in her first year of life. The vet has noted that a leg was broken sometime in the past but that the little limp, caused by the break having healed on its own, is not problematic. Poppy also gets frightened if she hears a loud, sudden noise--even playful yelling. And if she thinks she's being scolded, she might tinkle on the floor.   But honestly now who could scold a face like that? Be the person who helps Poppy blossom into the lovely young lady she is meant to be. She's already a love and she's just going to get better and better. Of that we're positive. See more photos of Poppy at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/poppy .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. April 22, 2024, 10:41 am

Story
🌷🐶 ADOPT SHILOH 🐶🌷 Shiloh is such a silly little character! She is nervous with new situations and people she doesn't know, but once you're inside her "circle of trust", she transforms into a sweet, sassy, funny girl. Shiloh will do anything for a treat. You can teach her just about anything you like...as long as you have snacks! 😁 This adorable little girl is so athletic and fast! She learns very quickly, but she's young and thrives with consistency, structure, and reinforcement. She can be a bit skittish with sudden movements or noises, so we don't think small children will be the best fit for her. She is snuggly and fun and full of big personality in a tiny pup. She's looking for a family who wants to spend time with her. She loves to be with her people. Please consider adding Shiloh to your family. ADOPTION APPLICATION: www.tinyurl.com/IADRAdoptionApp ***IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ*** Our adoption fee is $175. We require an application to be completed prior to setting up a meet-and-greet. We do not offer "on-the-spot" adoptions. We do not adopt on a first-come, first-served basis. We do our best to match dogs with families that will be a good fit to help ensure a successful adoption. We reserve the right to decline any application for any reason. Due to the nature of our adoption process, our fosters are usually only able to consider forever families within a reasonable driving distance of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. A vet reference is required, and a trial period will be completed before finalizing the adoption. Thank you for your understanding.

Story
Hudson is a 3 year old, 9 lb Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He is a tiny, adorable dog with a huge personality that will keep you laughing all the time! He loves to play with other dogs and is always the first to make friends when new fosters come into the house. He can hold his own with big dogs and little dogs alike. His favorite activity is running zoomies, and he will run so hard and fast down the hall that he bounces off the wall...but he hops right back up and is ready for more. He also loves to explore the backyard and find the perfect stick or hunt down those annoying cicadas! Hudson doesn't live with kids, but we think he would be ok with kids ages 10 and over. Kids will need to understand that Hudson is not the type of dog to be chased or picked up. Hudson is cuddly and loves to snuggle at night, but prefers it on his own terms. He doesn't love being picked up...it scares him a little...but he is getting more used to it. Having other dogs around is a must for him as it gives him confidence and someone whose lead he can follow. He is housetrained with a dog door but is probably going to mark at first, so if that's a huge deal to you, he's not your dog (remember, he's tiny so the clean-up is negligible). Bring a smile to your face every day - take Hudson home with you! You can apply at www.humanetomorrow.org, and an adoption counselor will contact you.
