Story
My husband and I are moving overseas, and we need to rehome our sweet 12-year-old rat terrier, Pearl. Pearl has been with us for 3 years. She was a rescue. She's healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and perfect for someone who wants a calm, affectionate pet. She still has a lot of spring in her step! She moves like a much younger dog. Pearl just needs a daily walk and lots of cuddles. She loves belly rubs and will roll onto her back to try to encourage rubs. She's a little clown. Pearl loves to roam around our fenced yard, but prefers being inside. She's a little too big to fit under the airline seat and we won't put her through the danger and trauma of being shipped in cargo. I've heard too many horror stories about this. She is a wonderful companion for a retiree or someone who works from home. She wants to be close to a human, so she shouldn't be left home alone all day. We love her very much. We can't risk taking her with us.

Story
Meet Sadie! She is an approximately 3 year old, female, Rat Terrier/Boston Terrier mix weighing about 24 Lbs. She was found off Eagle Pass on 10/04/2024 and never reclaimed. She is a spunky and social butterfly who enjoys the company of people. She loves to go on walks with her humans and enjoy the fresh sunshine. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is encouraged to make sure they get along. Sadie's adoption fee is $125. I am spayed, current on my rabies vaccination, basic boosters, microchipped, and heartworm negative.  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense. October 12, 2024, 6:05 pm

Story
What's an energetic terrier to do when her humans can no longer work from home, and is suddenly left alone during the day? She dreams of a new home where she can get the attention, exercise, and stimulation that an active young 3-year-old craves! While Luna spends long days alone tolerantly resting in her crate, she fantasizes about the freedom to run, play fetch, chase critters, go on adventures, and impress people with all the tricks she knows (like rolling over, spinning, giving kisses, and balancing treats on her nose then tossing them into the air to catch!).  Luna yearns for snuggles, belly rubs, and lots of human interaction. Surely those are reasonable desires! She's reliably house-trained and has been working on being a calmer leash-walker. Though she's a lover, Luna is uptight about new people coming to the house and reacts with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, she will accept the new friends and soon will be bringing them her toys for a game of fetch. Her alertness to strangers means she takes her guarding responsibilities seriously and she will notify you of suspicious noises or people outside. She would do best in a stand-alone home without shared walls, and in a quieter neighborhood. Luna loves most other dogs but she is a big girl for a rattie mix, weighing 35 lbs., so smaller, timid, or grumpy dogs could be annoyed by her persistent, playful energy. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource-guard high value treats also makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for active and engaged household whose members are home often. She's a super smart, highly affectionate, fun-loving girl! See more photos of Luna at www.imageevent.com/Newrattitude/luna .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. October 12, 2024, 1:39 pm
