Donate $:
We try to keep our adoption rates as low as practical, so that as many rescued dogs as possible can get into "Furever Homes." This means that we rely on monetary donations to help us pay for veterinary costs, shelter pull fees, medicines, microchips, etc. Every donation is greatly appreciated. To donate money to our rescue efforts, please vist our donation center.

Donate "Stuff":
Much of the cost of fostercare falls on our foster parents, who pay out of their own pockets for their own foster dogs' food and day-to-day non-medical expenses. Even if you can't foster, perhaps you could help relieve the burden of other volunteers who do. These are the things our fosterhomes typically need:
      * Frontline or Advantage (flea/tick control) for small dogs
      * Leashes, collars and harnesses
      * Toys (stuffed animals, Nylabones, Kongs, plushes, rope toys…)
      * Dog treats and chews (Greenies, biscuits, bully sticks, pig ears, rawhides...)
      * Potty pads
      * Food and water dishes
      * Dog beds
      * Dog blankets
      * Small and medium crates (plastic or wire)
      * X Pens
      * Simple Solution (enzyme cleaner for pet messes)
      * Dog shampoos and grooming items

Our network administrators also regularly need supplies:
      * 2-pocket folders and manila folders
      * Padded 5x7” envelopes
      * Gas cards (for transports)
      * Air miles
      * Pre-paid phone cards (for long-distance applications processing)
      * Postage stamps

You may send any items on this list to: New Rattitude, PO Box 81462, Atlanta, GA 30366.
Or email newrattitude@comcast.net to see if we have a need in your local area.
