Story
Meet Jimmy – your new favorite little shadow with a tail!  At just 5 months old, Jimmy is already living his best life and is so happy to be here. This sweet boy wakes up every day like it’s the best day ever — because to him, it is! Jimmy is a toy enthusiast and firmly believes that life is better when you always have a ball nearby. Toss it? Amazing. Squeak it? Incredible. Carry it around proudly like a trophy? Absolutely. He’s never met a toy he didn’t love. This smart pup is easy to train and very food motivated, which makes teaching him new tricks both fun and rewarding. Got treats? You’ve got his full attention. He’s already doing great walking on a leash and enjoys his strolls like a little pro. Car rides? No problem — Jimmy settles in nicely and is happy to be your co-pilot. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a playful buddy, but he’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love as your one and only. Jimmy does like to know where his people are — he’s a loyal little guy who enjoys being close and keeping tabs on his favorite humans. If you’re looking for a joyful, toy-loving, easygoing puppy who’s equal parts playful and devoted, Jimmy is ready to roll into your life (probably with a ball in his mouth).      Adoption fee: $525, includes 1st DHPP, deworming, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog.

Story
We will never know Raya’s past, but she came to us from the shelter as a stray with urine stains on her fur and recently healed scars on her head and side. Raya is believed to be around 4 years-old and is probably a mix of rat terrier and chihuahua, now at a good weight of 9.5 lbs.! She had her spay and a small benign mass removed from her left armpit shortly after arriving, and saw specialists to address extreme pain during bowel movements. Finally, in November 2025, she had double knee surgery to correct her painful injuries. Although Raya has healed well she will probably remain a little lame on her right rear leg but that doesn’t stop her at all! She is back to going up and down stairs, can now get up on the sofa by herself, and is even dancing for her breakfast! Although she has mostly done well with the other resident dogs, she has displayed signs of resource-guarding with her crate. These behaviors might be related to the physical scars she has and her experience with other dogs prior to the shelter, so she would do best in a home with no children or dogs. Although she can be a bit barky at people and dogs when out walking, she is very treat-motivated and can easily be redirected. When introduced to the resident cat, Raya did not seem interested. Even though Raya does not ask to go out, she is reliably house-trained on a schedule. Raya is cute as a button, recovered from knee surgery, and is ready to start looking for her forever home. Considering Raya’s past, she would do best in a home where she would get all the attention and not have to share her human(s). You can see more of Raya in her online photo album at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/raya Because of her past injuries and recent surgery, we are looking for a local adopter to be able to meet her and learn more about her! 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.February 11, 2026, 6:44 pm
