Peanut and Sheba in Truckee, California

Sheba is 6 years old and weighs 9 pounds. Both are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. They get along great with other dogs and cats in their foster home. If you’d like to take these girls into your home and heart, please call foster mom Vicki at 408-230-8892 or email vicki.kerner@yahoo.com.

Pepper in Ontario, Canada
Hi! My name is Ike, but my foster mommy and daddy call me Pepper, or Peppie for short! I am a sweet, loving and good natured little guy, and I like to say I am a young at heart senior! I heard my foster mommy and daddy say that I am about 15 lbs and about 10 years old. I love to snuggle, cuddle and lounge, and adore being petted! I really love being with my people and I am so good with other doggies, cats, and I like little children too! I am very friendly and outgoing and a lovey dovey little guy. I also know the right place to go potty, so you don’t have to worry about that; and I’m all up to date on my vetting! My adoption fee is $250. If you would like more info about me please contact rtrc@ratterrierrescue.ca.


Mackie in Athens, Georgia
Mackie is a young adult Rat Terrier girl who weighs about 15 lbs. She was brought to our animal clinic after a good Samaritan found her lying beside the road, apparently hit by a car, with a badly fractured pelvis. She had no ID or microchip, and no owner was found. Her pelvis has now been surgically repaired and all her road rash has healed. She is learning to walk again and has done very well with her rehab and physical therapy. Her left rear leg is not normal but she uses it, and we hope that she will continue to use it more and more. A home with minimal stairs would be best for her. Mackie is a complete snuggle bug, and is better with women than men, whom she does not trust for some reason. She would prefer to be the only Diva dog in the home but has learned to live with other dogs in her foster home. Mackie is spayed and current on vaccinations and HW prevention. Her adoption fee of $150 will help offset her medical bills. Please contact stephanie@maro.net for more info and an application.

Buddy in Lima, Ohio
My name is Buddy and I am a 3-year-old neutered male, current on vaccinations, and negative on heartworm. I will need my rabies shot once I get adopted. I am a wonderful boy who loves to play and I only want to please my family. I have my Canine Good Citizenship Certificate and know several commands; sit, down, come, stay, heel, leave-it, and wait. The Humane Society takes me to most of their events, the local mall, and wherever else they go, and I get along with everyone I meet. But I do become a little possessive of my family when I am at home, so I will need to be watched around strangers at home. I would love to become part of your family! Please contact The Humane Society of Allen County at 419-991-1775 (Hours: M,W,F,S: noon - 4:30 PM; T,Th: noon - 7 PM.) My adoption fee is $60 dollars plus a license fee of $16.





Star in Atlanta, Georgia
Star is a healthy, happy, 10-month old Rattie who is fully vetted and neutered. He is great fun and extremely sweet and intelligent. He has completely charmed the humans in his foster home and brought life to the older dogs there; and the young ones are all worn out at the end of the day! Star is fully housbroken and walks perfectly on or off a leash. He comes when called and would be a fantastic agility dog or jogging companion. He is very affectionate and playful but not hyper. Adoption fee is $150. For more info, contact phylster2000@yahoo.com.





Romeo in Salem, New York
Romeo (male on left) is about 2 years old and weighs about 22 lbs. He is great with other animals and children. Romeo is up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, wormed, and has been flea treated. Adoption fee is $200, only to approved homes. Contact Paw-Fect Angels Animal rescue for more information or an application at 518-321-6835 or pawfectangels@verizon.net.









JULIE in Briarcliff Manor, New York
(SPCA of Westchester)
This little Rat Terrier is named Julie. She is approximately 8 years old and weighs around 10 lbs. She has been at the shelter over a year, but because she is not fond of strangers and is very protective over her territory, she doesn't show well and is not likely to find a Forever Family by someone just "passing by." She needs a home without other pets or young children, and with a terrier-savvy owner who can see through her tough girl exterior and glimpse the lonely soul inside longing for a companion. Julie is great with the shelter staff and loves the company of people she knows, so once you win her trust, she will be a devoted friend for life. She is microchipped, current on vaccinations, spayed, and on HW preventative. She does currently have some skin allergies and would probably benefit from a hypoallergenic diet. Otherwise, she is healthy. Her adoption fee is $125. Please contact the SPCA of Westchester (http://www.spca914.org/914-941-2896 ext 11 or spcawestchester@aol.com) for more information.
