Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.  Roscoe is a fun, lovable, young guy looking for people committed to him for life!  He is very affectionate and lovable and he's great with other dogs, especially if they like to play a bit harder and wrestle.  He looks like a chihuahua, and rat terrier so may have either or both in his gene pool.  Darling little tri color regardless!!!  He's making progress with his housetraining as long as he gets fairly regular trips outside.  When he came in, he religiously soiled in this crate and we believe someone got him as a baby who worked full time and thought a baby would just self train while being crated for 10 hours a day.  That just makes them believe the crate is their toilet.  So he may do better with someone who just doesn't believe in crating a dog.  He loves  Who's looking for a doll like Roscoe? Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 28, 2025, 2:32 pm

Story
Bruiser is an Aquarius, and loves to play catch and go on long walks. She's also a bit of a talker and will gleefully interrupt conversations between people. Bruiser is 8 years old. She is incredibly smart and has a lot of good years left in her. As a result of her intelligence, she is somewhat reactive, but not destructive. She can sit, stay, lay down, and knows to wait at a door. Due to being attacked on leash, she's also become very reactive on leash. I recently was forced to move to an apartment and worry that she will be under stimulated and also reactive to noises in the building. She is full of devotion, but also anxiety, and I haven't figured out how to help with that beyond a Prozac prescription. She's doing really well on it, but still needs the training piece. Bruiser gets a lot of compliments on her white socks and white tipped tail. Many people tell me that they think she is part Basenji because of her tail curve. She would be an asset as your companion.

Story
Debonair 11-year-old Jax is an active and smart boy who will be a wonderful companion for the right family! Jax is a 25 lb. rat terrier.  He is in excellent physical condition after beating cancer (a mast cell tumor on his belly).  Jax loves sunning himself, walking, jogging, playing with stuffed animals, and chasing a ball. He gets along well with small dogs he's introduced to in his home environment. He has been very nice to his foster siblings but can be protective of his space and might correct another dog who touches or steps on him with a yowl and small snap. Jax would be fine as a single dog or with a respectful smaller dog.  Jax should not live with cats or other small pets. He does also have a bit of anxiety which has been greatly reduced with a stable schedule and increased exercise.  Jax barks at the door when he needs to go out and is perfectly housetrained. He can be trusted to be free indoors and doesn't get into the trash, counter surf, or chew items. Jax might have a tough exterior, but he has a soft, loving heart for someone who is willing to take the time to understand him.See more photos of Jax at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/jax .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.June 1, 2025, 12:52 pm
