Story
My name is Charlie and I am such a sweet boy! My favorite activity is curling up next to someone I trust or warming my tushy next to a fireplace! Nobody really knows my age, but the vet says I'm healthy and look to be about 4 years-old.  I was surrendered from an elderly person and a bit shy around kids, but I have friends who are cats. I'm tiny at only 8 lbs. but mighty on protection, it's the only time I alert the humans around here.    I don't chew up anything and my foster parents have helped me master potty training with positive reinforcement, love, treats, and a clicker. I am such a good boy and I like to keep on a schedule. I like my crate but Mom never has to close the door anymore. I LOVE to sleep in bed with my people and I don't even mind my cat friends joining us. I haven't had much time around other dogs yet, but my foster mom says I am starting to accept other dogs around my size. My favorite hobby is chasing my humans outside and sniffing the yard for little critters. I also love strolling the neighborhood on a leash and getting compliments from friendly neighbors. Would you be my forever family? Please see more photos of me in my album https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/charliea 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 21, 2026, 7:27 pm

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs! To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info! ***I am able to go home to my forever family right off of transport! You get a 5 day trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!***   Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on MARCH 13th and arrive on MARCH 14th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!!   Updated: 2/19/2026 Dog Name: Rue Sex: Female Estimated Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua/Aussie Mix Approximate Age: 3 months Approximate Weight: 6 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Not yet Spayed (too young) Description: Rue and her sweet siblings were desperately in need of a hero as their home was becoming overwhelming with so many animals. They risked creating more unwanted litters and our Texas rescue partners stepped in to save 10 pups between two litters. These babies are cuddle bugs and learning to be social, they are young and so happy to have a safe place to sleep and are currently being vetted. Rue is a cuddle bug, so sweet and calm! These babies are praying for a second chance! Adoption Fee: $550We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. February 23, 2026, 11:20 pm
