Dogs Available through Other Rescues

Agatha & Luciana

08-19-2018

Location: Albany, NY

Agatha and her sister Luciana lived in the same household since they were puppies, and have been well cared for by their owners (who are now moving in to assisted living). We are hoping to place them together, since they’ve been companions all their lives. Both dogs are friendly and affectionate, take treats gently, and seem young for 12 year olds! Agatha is the more people-oriented girl of the pair, and is a friendly girl who will present her tummy for a belly rub. Lucy is the adventurer, and likes to explore her surroundings, but once comfortable, will keep coming back for affection. The girls are a little unsure of other dogs and will bark at them at first, but it’s more out of curiosity and a greeting than true aggression. Agatha does have diabetes and needs insulin daily, which she accepts without complaint. She is stable, having had her last insulin curve in December. Both girls weigh 10 pounds. Agatha and Luciana are located in Albany (NY), staying with Peppertree Rescue. For more information, or to apply to adopt, please contact Sue Tomlinson at: sue.tomlinson@ yahoo.com (remove space).

April

09-04-2016

Location: Ossipee NH

"Yip Yap Yip" translation: my name is April. Let's skip the pleasantries and get right to it. I need a home. I'm an independent girl. That's right, I don't need anyone to coddle me and tell me I'm beautiful...but who are we kidding, have you seen this face? I'm looking for one or two adult roommates. I say no thank you to children; they're messy, loud , eat all the food and, quite frankly, they terrify me - I prefer mature humans. I'm not what you'd call a social butterfly, no way! I'm the kind of girl who'll lock myself in my room and write emotional poems about a Rat Terriers Lament. Book title anyone? I tend to overreact and make bad choices. My parole officer says I need someone to help me down the straight and narrow, or whatever. I'm 6 years old and weigh around 20 pounds. So what do you think? Can you make space for this strong willed, independent beauty? Adopt Me! Contact Louise at lrhsbehaviorandtraining@gmail.com for more information.

Buddy & Molly

02-03-2013

Location: Dallas, TX

Meet Mo Mo Molly and her son Buddy Boy. Molly and Buddy came to rescue in August 2012. Molly was about 1 1/2 and Buddy was just a little boy of about 3-4 months and 6lbs. Someone left them in a cardboard box in Oklahoma, next to a dumpster, in triple-digit heat. They ended up at the local animal shelter, which euthanizes at a high rate, and has no climate control. Molly and Buddy have blossomed since then. Buddy has all of his big boy teeth now and has grown to 16-17 pounds, as he nears a year old; we think maybe his daddy had some Beagle in him. Molly is a feisty, compact 10 pounds. They have had all of their vetting done - all shots and spay/neuter, and have no medical issues. Although they have both turned into magnetic lap dogs, when they are asked they will each go into their crate - whether for a few hours in the day or all night. We have a fenced yard, so they do business outside - and are doing better when the weather's bad (I will not lie and say that we are completely accident free). In the car they are terrific, and they walk on a leash well. They get along with other dogs and with the cat. They are very bonded, so they would do best in a home together. Both do well with all ages of humans. Please contact Jennifer at either: 972-964-4806 or jjeaches@aol.com.

George & Weezie

01-27-2016

Location: Muskegon, MI

George: Hi, I'm George! I'm a 12 year old Rat Terrier looking for a nice, cozy home for me and my partner in crime, Weezie! I'd say that out of the two of us, I got the looks and Weezie got the brains (just don't tell her I said that!). I'm just a big goof ball, I don't like to take life too seriously. Weezie just sits there and rolls her eyes at my silly antics, wondering how she ever got stuck with a character like me. Anyways, we make a great pair, and once you come and see us you won't be able to leave with out us! Ask our friends at the shelter for a visit today!
Weezie: Hi there, I'm Weezie, a 10 year old Rat Terrier. I'm searching for a nice, cozy home for me and my friend George. I'm a pretty smart girl, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I know how to sit pretty, andsometimes I might even dance for you! George and I make a good pair, so be sure to ask about us if you stop by the shelter!
George and Weezie are a bonded pair and must be homed together. Contact info for Muskegon Humane Society: dogadoptions@muskegonhumanesociety.org or 231-773-8689. Ask for Chelsie Blaine.

Missy

05-11-2014

Location: Lago Vista, TX

Meet Missy. She was found cowering on a porch in a small town just north-west of Austin, TX. Missy is probably a dumped puppymill dog, as she knows nothing about leashes or human kindness - though she is learning from the shelter volunteers. She has really bonded with one of the volunteers, and has improved dramatically since they began to work with her, but she needs someone who is willing to give her time and lots of love. In spite of her fear, she is never aggressive or defensive; a gentle soul is waiting just below the surface. Missy has been in doggie jail for going on 5 weeks, and time is critical; if she doesn't find a home soon she will be sent to a kill shelter in Austin. Missy is probably Rat Terrier mixed with Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler. She weighs right at 30 pounds, and is about at 1 year old. Missy will be an amazing friend for someone when she breaks through that fear barrier. She is alert and eager for treats... and for ear and neck scratches. And just look at that face! For more information or apply to adopt Missy, please contact Starr at slockwood@lago-vista.org

Zoey

05-21-2015

Location: Lumberton, NC

This perky Rat Terrier had a rough start. She came in very sick and it was realized that she had previously eaten plastic. After all of that, she was heartworm positive and had to go through treatment. Zoey is about 2 years old and is a tiny girl at 12 pounds. She is current on all vaccinations and already spayed. Her adoption fee is $75.00. Please email us at rchsfriendsforlife@gmail.com for an application.

Johnny

05-31-2016

Location: Mount Rainier, MD

Johnny is an older, male (Neutered) Rat Terrier, whom we think is between 15 and 17 years old. He is a lightweight at 15 pounds. He has a wonderful disposition with other dogs and cats ( who are already dog-friendly). He came to us from a tragic situation, where the wife passed away and she had be the caretaker of Johnny. Johnny does not see or hear well, but manages to get around without bumping into things. Because of his eyesight, he cannot always know when he is inside or out. He is not incontinent, just needs a guiding hand to give him enough opportunities to relieve himself during the day. Johnny does have a heart murmur, for which he has been taking medication two times a day. We are in the process of assessing him with a cardiologist to see if any changes need to occur.
