From Shelter to Home...
Notes from the Editor
|
With this issue we begin the first of a two-part series featuring the story of three ratties, from rescue to adoption. This time though, the story's not really about the dogs. It's about our NR volunteers, the jobs they do, and how each step of the rescue process contributes to the New Rattitude commitment to finding the best furever home for each saved rattie.
We hope you enjoy reading about Mattie, Cinnamon, and Shelbee. We hope you enjoy meeting the volunteers and taking a look 'behind the scenes' to see how this amazing organization works. Most of all though, we hope you will be inspired--to learn more, to join our team, to discover what role you will play in another dog's journey, from shelter to home.
WE STILL NEED YOUR VOTES - Help Us Win $1,000!
New Rattitude is participating in the Shelter Challenge, sponsored by The Animal Rescue Site and Petfinder.com. A $1,000 grant will be awarded to the rescue organization in each state which acquires the most votes by December 14. Out of 362 shelters/rescue groups registered in Georgia, New Rattitude is currently NUMBER ONE! With only a couple of weeks left, it is likely that competing rescues will begin a 'sprint to the finish line.' NR will need to do the same to hold on to our first place position. PLEASE help us spread the word to all of your friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues. Vote every day on every computer. Help us earn that $1000!
Go HERE to vote. Be sure to type in New Rattitude for your shelter name and choose Georgia as the state. THANKS for your help!
It's Official!
As of November 5, New Rattitude is a 501(C)3 Organization! Can you hear us cheering? Hats off to NR Director and Acting Secretary, Terry Beale. Thanks to Terry's hard work and due diligence in preparing and filing the application, our approval came through in record time!
Welcome New Volunteers!
Our New Rattitude family continues to grow! We'd like to welcome the following new members.
Thanks for joining our team!

Volunteer Job: State Coordinator
From the shelter...rescuing Mattie
|
By Debbie Collins, Alabama State Coordinator
The State Coordinator's responsibilities include: maintaining shelter and humane society contacts, monitoring and evaluating the shelter dogs needing rescue, helping to coordinate getting the dog into rescue and coordinating the foster homes in their state. One of the first lines of defense is for the SC to know the shelters in the state. Once a good relationship is established, SCs can usually count on shelters to contact them when they have a dog in need. As the SC for Alabama, I received an email from Becky, a volunteer at a nearby shelter. Becky told me that their shelter was holding a female rat terrier which had been left at the night depository box, along with her five puppies. The puppies had been pulled by another rescue, but the mom was left behind. Because the dog was sweet and friendly, Becky started looking for a rescue to take her. Unfortunately, all rescues, including New Rattitude, were full at that time. A month passed, and the rattie's time was up. She was on the docket to be put to sleep. Becky, convinced that this dog was special, asked for more time. Again she contacted me, sending photos for breed ID and describing the dog's temperament and the vetting she had received at the shelter. This time, I had foster space for her. Since they cannot always depend upon workers like Becky to initiate contact, State Coordinators also monitor shelters and humane societies to see if they have received new rat terriers. One of the hardest parts of the SC's job is determining whether a dog should be pulled from a shelter or, even harder, which dog should be pulled, since there are often more dogs needing rescue than there are available foster homes. To help with these difficult decisions and to prioritize dogs needing rescue, SCs use a score sheet, based on a point system, which includes factors such as breed ID, age, size, health, temperament, location, and degree of urgency.
When a dog is determined to be a good candidate for rescue by New Rattitude, the SC attempts to find a foster home, first checking with the foster homes in his/her state. Placement in a nearby foster home reduces the resources needed to move the dog. However, if no space is available in-state, the SC posts information about the dog to the New Rattitude membership in hopes that someone else might have room. When a foster home is found, the SC helps with plans to move the dog to the foster home and ensures that the shelter gets the paperwork needed to release the dog. Through email, Becky and I arranged to transfer the female rattie to me. We met in an empty parking lot, and when Becky opened the back of her vehicle, there in a crate was Mattie, with the saddest expression I've ever seen on a dog. I picked her up and told her she was safe now and that she had a home to go to. I put her into a crate in my vehicle, and we drove the half hour home. When we arrived at our house, I put a secure leash on her and walked her around so that she could sniff her new environment. She still had the saddest expression...one that broke my heart as I pondered the events she had endured in the past month. She met our resident dogs and settled in, though still in her sad state. Within three days, Mattie had figured out that she was in a safe place, with people that loved her, and her sadness faded. In short time, Mattie blossomed into a most loving, sweet, and wonderful dog.
New Rattitude needs State Coordinators for many states, foster homes in all states, as well as a multitude of other jobs. Please consider volunteering your time for one of these rewarding positions and join us in our effort to help the many ratties in need of rescue. You can learn more by visiting our website's volunteer information page or by writing our Volunteer Manager at volunteer@newrattutude.org

Volunteer Job: Shelter Surfer
From the shelter...rescuing Cinnamon
|
By Patti Jeffries
A lot of the dogs you see in the New Rattitude Dog House have come from animal control facilities. This is one dog’s story, from roaming the streets on her own to arriving to the safety of a New Rattitude foster home. Her name now is Cinnamon. It was not always so.
Daily I search Petfinder sites, read emails from other rescue volunteers and emails from people who want to turn in their dogs for someone else to deal with. In searching the emails, I came across a beautiful little rat terrier female, misidentified on the Petfinder site as a Jack Russell mix. Rat terriers are commonly misidentified, so if I do a Petfinder search strictly for rat terriers, I will miss quite a few very nice ratties.
Cinnamon was found as a stray in the small town of Sunnyside, Georgia. She is outgoing, happy-go-lucky, and opinionated. Unfortunately this is probably why she was picked up by Animal Control. I emailed our Georgia State Coordinator, Paula Nowak, and asked her if there was a foster home available. She said possibly, asked me to get the info, and we’d post her to the NR Urgent List. The shelter worker said that Cinnamon was sweet and energetic and could possibly be a rat terrier, but the shelter was not sure. Cinnamon was estimated to be about a year old and under 20 pounds. Most rat terriers are under 20 pounds, so her size was correct. With many pictures posted on Petfinder, it's difficult to distinguish a Labrador retriever from an elephant. A Shelter Surfer really has to look closely and can be fooled by some pictures that make a 10-pound dog look like a 50-pound dog. I sometimes have to request additional views or if possible, go to the shelter and actually look at and interact with the dog. Luckily Cinnamon's picture was close to true because we had little time to waste. She was scheduled to be euthanized the next day.
I emailed Paula again and gave her the rest of the information. Fortunately for Cinnamon, Georgia foster parents Kim Markham and Donovan Conrad had agreed to take the little waif as their first New Rattitude foster. I called the shelter and asked what they required of a rescue organization in order to 'pull' a dog. They told me that the pull fee was $30 and that they would need the New Rattitude paperwork showing that I was pulling the dog for a licensed rescue. I told them I’d be there within the hour. NR Director Terry Beale sent the information, and away I went.
When I first arrived at the shelter, I noticed that there were no runs for the dogs to go outside. There was a lot of noise coming from inside the shelter. It would really be a scary environment for a little rattie girl. I entered the office and told them who I was. They asked for identification and said that they would bring her out to me. I never went to the back. Usually, when I go to a shelter, I walk the aisles and look at all the dogs. Today I had a purpose and one little girl already chosen to be saved.
Cinnamon was brought to the front office by one of the officers. He said he really liked her and that she had spent most of the previous day in the office with the woman who worked there. Cinnamon seemed happy to see everyone in the office but was a little perplexed as to why this strange woman had come to take her out the front door--with a leash around her neck, no less. I let her potty outside and drink some water. Then into the crate she went and off I drove to meet Donovan. Cinnamon was totally quiet for the entire trip. She was ready to start her new life.

In The Clinic
New Rattitude currently has three ratties in the Canine Clinic: Bess, who is undergoing heartworm treatment, Chryssy, who is recovering from a severe respiratory infection (and whose sister Calleigh did not survive), and Popcorn, who is recovering from emergency surgery to remove an ingested disposable razor.
Dogs in the Canine Clinic have incurred costly vet bills which will not be covered by their adoption fees. Please visit the link above to read about these three and consider a donation to help us cover these costs. Many thanks to everyone who donated to Izzy and Glembie, previously in the clinic. Their bills have now been paid in full! Without the help of our supporters, we would not be able to rescue these ratties with medical needs.

Rattie Nattie's Holiday Safety Tips
|
By Nadia Chiodini
With the holiday season upon us, please remember these important safety tips that could save your dog's life.
- Especially important for holiday travelers: Your dogs should be microchipped and always wear a secure collar with ID tags. They should be restrained with a seatbelt or in a crate while riding in the car.
- If you are entertaining, make sure guests are aware of your dogs. Instruct them not to feed the dogs or accidentally let them out the door.
- Do not overwhelm your dogs with too many guests and children. An anxious dog might nip or bite. Give your dogs a safe place to hide out.
- If you use tinsel to decorate, cut into pieces no longer than 2" long. If a dog ingests longer pieces, it can cause serious problems or even death.
- Glass ornaments are another big danger for dogs. They may see them as toys, break them and ingest some of the glass, causing serious injury. Also beware of bubbling lights (contain toxic fluids), angel hair (spun glass), snow sprays and snow flocks, fireplace colors (fire salts), and Christmas tree preservative.
- Mistletoe, holly, poinsettia, and Christmas greens such as balsam, juniper, cedar, pine, and fir all contain various levels of toxicity to pets.
- Certain gifts and packaging can also present hazards if your dog ingests them. Examples are: styrofoam, button batteries, aftershave lotions, colognes and perfumes, plastic model cement and other adhesives, crayons, felt tip markers, paints, toys with small parts, and toys painted with toxic materials.
The ASPCA has a poison control hotline for pets. It will connect you with an ASPCA veterinarian and is manned 24/7. Keep this number handy: 1-888-426-4435.

Volunteer Job: Foster Parent
Foster Care Follies...Shelbee
|
Shelbee was pulled from a shelter in McKinney, TX by NR volunteer, Jodi Cotner. Arrangements were then made to fly her to her Washington state foster home.
Shelbee arrived safe and sound at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and was picked up by her temporary foster mom, Kathy Young. Kathy took Shelbee home and right away scheduled her for a visit to the vet to be spayed and microchipped and to receive her necessary vaccinations. Shelbee rested and recuperated at Kathy's house for three days until her full-time foster family was ready for her. She joined her new family, their dog, and another foster dog and right away made herself at home by choosing a basket full of blankets as her favorite place to sleep and sharing the best sunny nap spots with the other two dogs.
While the dogs napped away, Shelbee's foster mom, Janell Brown, shifted into high gear. First she filled out a foster agreement with New Rattitude that gave the intake team all the information they needed to register Shelbee as a New Rattitude dog. She started a file on her computer to keep track of all vaccinations, spay dates, medications, and parasitics that Shelbee had received, as well as any information about her past that the shelter had supplied. Keeping this info in one place helps make sure that no medications/vaccinations are missed, and it provides the adoptive family a history on Shelbee that can be shared with their veterinarian for their records.
For the next week, Janell helped Shelbee integrate into her little pack and learn the rules of the house. It's important for a foster parent to recognize that new dogs often arrive from situations where chaos was the norm. These dogs may need to learn basic manners such as not walking on the kitchen table or stealing food from fellow members of their pack. Janell was also busy observing Shelbee, taking notes on her behavior and personality, as well as capturing some of her cutest poses with a digital camera.
After a week or so for Shelbee to settle in, it was time to get the word out that an extra special, extra cute rat terrier was in Western Washington, looking for a loving family to call her own. Janell created an online photo album featuring pictures of Shelbee and linked it to different blogs and websites. She added posts to the family's foster care blog about the sweet new girl they were fostering. She posted a flyer about Shelbee at the local off-leash park and at pet stores. She placed ads with photos of Shelbee in her employer's company classifieds and made plans to show Shelbee at an upcoming Petsmart adoption event. She even placed Shelbee's photo and biography in a Craigslist.org ad announcing the Petsmart event. And most importantly, she submitted a bio to the New Rattitude Pet Publicist, who would list Shelbee on Petfinder.com and the New Rattitude website.
All of this publicity paid off, because right away Janell was contacted by someone who had read about Shelbee on the Craigslist.org ad for the Petsmart event. Rather than wait for the event, they arranged a playdate at the off-leash park so that the new family and their rat terrier, Djinn, could meet Shelbee and see if it was a good fit. Of course, with such a sweet, pretty girl like Shelbee, the new family was immediately smitten. Well, Djinn wasn't too sure about her, but everyone else thought she was great. They went right home and applied to adopt her. At this point, Shelbee's foster mom had a chance to sit back and just enjoy her while the Adoption Team took over.
To be continued...
In our next issue of 'Tude News, look for the conclusion of Shelbee's and Mattie's journey from shelter to home. We will also introduce the members of our highly skilled NR Adoption Team, and describe the steps they must follow to ensure that each NR adoption is the very best fit for a particular family and that individual dog.
At this publishing, Cinnamon's story is, as yet, unfinished. She is still waiting to be chosen by her furever family, still waiting to receive an application...

NR Volunteer Spotlight - Jessica Mannon
|
By Sue Kangas
It’s hard to believe that several years ago, Jessica Mannon wasn’t even an animal lover. Today she’s an experienced rescuer and foster mom, with seven personal dogs and six fosters. In addition, 21 other foster dogs have passed through her house in the past two years, before moving on to their permanent adoptive homes.
So what turned Jessica’s apathy towards animals into the self-described “crazy person” and animal lover that she is today? That credit goes to Jessica’s husband, Chris, a dog lover who insisted on getting Jessica out of the house three years ago while she was on bed rest and healing from surgery. Where did he take her? To the humane society of course! There Jessica encountered John, an 8-year-old special needs Jack Russell terrier, who looked her straight in the eye and said, “Take me home.” John passed away 6 weeks later from multiple brain tumors but not without making a huge impact on Jessica’s life. John had served a very special purpose--he changed Jessica’s heart, and that allowed her to open her home to many more needy dogs to be loved and made happy, as John was in the last few weeks of his life.
Jessica adopted more shelter dogs, including several rat terriers, and those experiences eventually lead her to rat terrier rescue volunteer work. Besides fostering, Jessica serves as a New Rattitude State Coordinator, helps with home visits and transports, and is a master at fundraising. Danny, a recent temporary foster dog who came to her severely underweight and malnourished, exemplifies the reward she gets from her rescue work. Jessica put down some food for Danny, and before eating it, he took time to give her a 'puppy kiss' to thank her for his meal. That’s what Jessica loves about rescue work. “You can have the worst day ever, and the foster dogs are so grateful for everything you do for them. It’s the absolute best feeling.”
Jessica’s other hobbies include antique shopping, scrapbooking, and watching crime dramas on TV. She grew up in Michigan and Indiana and attended Purdue University, where she earned a degree in hotel management. After graduation, Jessica moved to Florida to work in the time-share industry. That’s where she met Chris. After three years, the couple moved back to the Midwest and currently live in Waynetown, Indiana, population 900.
Jessica’s own 'pack' includes seven terrier mixes. All were rescued; three of them are disabled. Jessica’s paid job is with a nonprofit agency where she’s a manager in employment services, helping people with disabilities find jobs. Chris is a youth counselor who works with high-risk and autistic children. It’s easy to see why Jessica and Chris make such fabulous rat terrier foster parents--both have kind and loving hearts and the ability to see the beauty and potential in all living beings.
Thank you, Jessica, for your hard work and dedication to New Rattitude rescue!

Norma's Rattie Notes by Norma Downing
For the Love of...
How many of you began volunteering for Rescue because of a special rattie's influence on your life? Here are a few folks that were led into rescue by their extraordinary love for a rat terrier.
|
For the Love of Chico
My rat terrier, Chico, came to me from a shelter. Having always been a big-dog person, and being a foster parent for a rescue group, I thought maybe a little yappy dog would be easier for me to say good-bye to when he found a home of his own. Like most little dogs, he wasn't doing well in the shelter. Thank God for shelter volunteers who knew how desperately he needed to go into a rescue group. The little yappy and terribly frightened rat terrier became my foster dog, then became a member of the Wichman family.
I love all my dogs, but Chico is my best friend ever. He has been with us now for six yrs, and I can't imagine life without him. I hope I have many opportunities to place rat terriers into other good homes so that more adopters, too, may know the joy of owning a rattie.

For the Love of Georgie
Because of Georgie…I went online and learned everything I could about rat terriers.
Because of Georgie…I learned about rat terrier rescue groups.
Because of Georgie…I learned about puppy mills and pet stores, and why you should always obtain a dog from a reputable breeder, or, preferably, adopt one from a shelter or rescue group.
Because of Georgie…I became a volunteer with rat terrier rescue groups and with local shelters.
Because of Georgie…I rescued Paco from the euthanasia ward at Miami-Dade Animal Control.
Because of Georgie…I rescued, fostered, and/or transported Trixie, Misty, Bones, Pee Wee, Tuti, and a multitude of other breeds: mastiffs, poodles, golden retrievers, Chihuahuas, you name it. Some didn't make it, but they didn't die alone in a stainless steel cage surrounded by the smell of death.
Because of Georgie…I have friends all over the country, no wait, the world, as far away as New Zealand. These are people that I otherwise never would have met, and may never meet in person, but that I can depend on at all times. We are united by our insane devotion and our love for animals. We share in each other's happiness and help bear each other's sadness during the rough times.
Because of Georgie…I understand that those people that look at me and say, "It's just a dog," are truly deprived individuals, deserving of my pity, not my contempt, as they have not known what it is like to love and be loved unconditionally by an animal.
Because of Georgie…I will not mourn when she is gone. I will celebrate her life and continue my rescue efforts. When it is time, I will open my heart to another rat terrier, perhaps a foster, that I can love and send on to a forever home.
~Contributed by Ivy Kaufman, volunteer for a number of rescue groups, FL
Note : Bless little Georgie..She went over the bridge, but will forever be in her family’s hearts and memories.
For the Love of Them All
Kathy Young gives of her love, time, and talents to pull from high kill animal shelters an extraordinary number of rat terriers, destined to sure death, primarily from Texas and California. Thanks to Kathy’s tenacious rescue efforts, flight resources and rattie 'Flight Angels' (airline employees who volunteer their off days to fly rescued ratties from TX to WA), many, many ratties are afforded a promising future in a loving adoptive home. Kathy writes, "My signature would be 'For the love of the unwanted shelter dog'."
"We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made." M. Acklam
