Chloe and Clyde in Michigan Chloe and Clyde are brother and sister. They came to Last Day Dog Rescue in Michigan when their owner passed away and no one in the family wanted the dogs. Both of them came to LDDR with no training what so ever and they were both very overweight! Chloe and Clyde have done well with weight loss but still need to stay on a diet. They are very loving little dogs of 6 yrs old, are up to date on shots, are now housetrained and both are altered (spay/neutered). Chloe does not like to be left outdoors alone she will do her business and come right back in. She is a calm but vocal gal and if you talk to her she will talk back. Clyde likes to chase the cat but only plays with it, but we do discourage the rough housing. Clyde is not a barker but will let you know when someone is at your door and he loves to cuddle in your lap too. They both enjoy other dogs and both dogs will follow you everywhere you will let them and they love lap time. They make wonderful companions. Adoption fee for each is $150. If you are looking for a forever best friend Please consider giving Chloe and/or Clyde the chance they deserve. If you'd like to learn more about either of these ratties please contact Kathy G. at kgoins@verizon.net.
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

Star in Atlanta, GeorgiaStar, nickname TarTar, is totally housebroken and knows all basic commands. He walks on a leash well but much prefers to run run run in the park. He returns beautifully when called and knows "leave it" when told. He gets on well with all dogs here especially the Dachshunds. He is a warm, loving and energetic young guy who would excel at agility if someone was interested or a perfect jogging partner. He gets lots of compliments on his handsome looks and simply needs an active owner to love him forever as we do. If we didn't have ten dogs of our own he would not be going anywhere. He is neutered and up to date on shots and heart worm preventative. We use natural peppermint oil for fleas and regular brushing which he loves. He is also fine with toenail trimming and tooth brushing which he gets regularly. Gotta keep those pearly whites shining! Let us know if you would like to meet our precious boy. He is in Atlanta, Ga. Transport can be arranged Adoption fee is $150. For more info, contact phylster2000@yahoo.com.

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.
