 | Animal ID: 1173Besoleil (female)
Tail wagging and always ready for a frolic or kiss, 11-month old Besoleil is the very definition of a happy puppy. She is a Rat Terrier mix weighing around 11 lbs. She is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on leash. Besoleil adores other dogs and tries to get her foster siblings to engage in play. She also likes people, both men and women. She is food motivated and super smart, which means that teaching her basic commands should be a breeze. While Besoleil enjoys fun, she's also content to curl up next to you on the couch or go for a long walk - she's game for any activity that will please her people. To see more of ...

 | Animal ID: 1174Dallas (male)
Dallas is a very frisky 5-month-old, 9.8-lb. Rat Terrier pup. He is long-legged with a full tail and is a very handsome little guy. He has a very gentle demeanor and loves to be held and cuddled. Dallas loves to spend his day playing with toys and wrestling with his four-legged foster siblings. He really likes the outdoors when the weather is warm, and he will gather all his toys by the door to take outside with him. He is very smart and quick to learn and mastered the pet door in just a few tries. Dallas sleeps in his kennel at night without making a peep and tolerates it in the daytime if needed. He is working on his house training skills ... (Read More)and is doing extremely well, especially with the warmer weather. Like most puppies, Dallas gets very excited at mealtime but has learned to sit when his food dish is placed in front of him.

 | Animal ID: 1175Nash (male)
Hi! My name is Nash and I am an adorable 1-year old male Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier mix. I weigh about 10-1/2 lbs. If you are looking for that full terrier experience, then I might be the dog for you. I have a lot of energy but I would also love to cuddle in your lap and give you kisses. I like to go for walks and hikes and I am so smart that I would probably do well at agility as long as my person used force-free training techniques. I am doing well with my house training when kept on a schedule and I am learning that I like to go for car rides. I like to play with toys and shake them and toss them in the air. I am working on my crate ... (Read More)training at night and will sleep quietly once I know my person is still nearby.

 | Animal ID: 020Doug (male)
Doug is an active guy. He is 8 years old and still has the heart of a puppy. He is house trained. He likes to sleep with you under the covers at night. He would like an active family and maybe another small dog to play with. Muddy Paws Rescue Pierce County Puyallup, WA 98375 MAP IT!

 | Animal ID: 1145Salinas (female)
Introducing Salinas - the queen of kisses and belly rubs! This 2 to 3-year old sweet girl weighs about 20 lbs. but is a little chunky so has been working off some of that weight in foster care and will likely end up at a healthy weight of about 17 lbs. 'Sal' is kind of shy when first meeting new people but given some time and space she'll be giving kisses and squirming herself up onto a lap for pets in no time. One thing to know about her is that she really needs to have a dog buddy around to feel safe and comfortable. Her foster parents notice that she can feel a bit panicky when she is alone, but when another dog is crated next to her, she ... (Read More)settles right down. And outside she is anxious when alone, but when a buddy is there for her to follow, she is like a different dog: relaxed, playful, and ready for fun. Salinas came from a situation where she didn't get any training or much positive human interaction, but she is proving to be a smart girl and because she is so focused on her humans and is food motivated, she picks things up amazingly fast. She is doing great with house training and hasn't had an accident in her foster home since she gets lots of potty breaks and praise for eliminating outside. Careful supervision and crate training should help her continue this success with her new family. Although Miss Sal wouldn't be labeled a barker, when she is anxious about being alone in a crate she will bark for a bit, so her best bet is going to be a house without shared walls where she can work through her initial transition period without bothering neighbors. If you are looking to be adored and wanting to look down and see big brown eyes looking up in wonder and awe, then Sal just might be the girl for you.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-05-13-00001Bitty (female)
I have an 8 year old Rat Terrier that we are unable to give enough attention to. She's a total sweetheart- not a biter at ALL. We have an 12 year old son, and she LOVES him, but my son plays 3 sports and my Husband and I both work, so we're just never home... She's potty and kennel trained. I built her a custom kennel that's about 3x3 and she sleeps on a cedar dog bed inside it. We also have another dog (a lab mix) and a cat that she gets along great with. She's an approximately 20lb, fixed, un-papered purebred (we never papered her because she was just going to be a pet, not a show dog or a breeder). We met her parents when she was new. Like ... (Read More)all Rat Terriers, when they aren't getting enough attention, they dig and bark...so she keeps getting out of our backyard when we're away during the day, and I'm afraid she's going to get run over. Here's the 'one thing' about Bitty (that's her name), about 2 years ago she dug under our side fence to 'play' with the German Shepherd next door....he was not friendly and almost killed her. After $1700 in vet bills, she left with a clean bill of health (amazing after what she'd been thru...) BUT she is missing that majority of her right ear. She isn't missing any functionality, it's just cosmetic. She also will cower when you approach her, but once you pick her up, she's fine and wants to kiss you all over!! Bitty really is a great dog, and we'll be sad to see her go. I'd love to have a family adopt her that can give her more attention, because she deserves it! Please feel free to call me if you're interested. My cell # is 253-228-1905 and my name is Jody. (Less) Pierce County Orting, WA MAP IT!

 | Animal ID: 1130Fae (female)
Fae is a 1-2 year old, 19-lb. Rat Terrier who is an affectionate and sweet girl. She is a medium to high energy dog who loves to split her time between hanging out with her people and dog friends and being outside playing in the backyard. If the weather is nice she likes to hunt for fallen pears in the grass and bring all of her toys outside to play with. Fae's new home will have to have a fenced backyard where she can feel safe to run and burn off energy. She loves to play chase in the backyard with her foster brother and has begun playing tug with her foster parents. She would do very well in a home with other dogs to interact with and ... (Read More)continue to learn from. Fae was an outdoor-only dog before she came to New Rattitude and as a result she was not reliably house trained; however, now that she is on a schedule and has access to the outdoors for much of the day, she is 95% potty trained. She can be nervous meeting new people but warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. Sometimes it can take a little time for her nerves to calm down, but once she does she is content to lie in her crate or on a dog bed while you watch TV or cook dinner. Fae has not met any children, but young children and their quick and unpredictable movements would probably make her nervous. She is skittish with quick movements in general and will often flatten to the ground when approached or reached toward. Her foster parents have been working with her to help build confidence. Fae bonds very quickly and really craves a human connection. With a little patience and an encouraging environment, she will really blossom. Please see her online photo album for more pictures at http://imageevent.com/newrattitude/fae. ================================================================================================If you are interested in adopting this dog, please go to New Rattitude's website at http://www.NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm, where there is detailed information and a link to our adoption application.

 | Animal ID: 1080Sierra (female)
What's black and white and sweet inside? No, not a cookie; it's me, Sierra! I am a cute little 9-lb., 1-1/2 year old girl who somehow ended up in a shelter. After I was rescued, a nice surgeon repaired my luxating patella and now I am learning how to be a four-legged dog. It's not that big of a deal because I can hike and walk using only three legs, but I do use all four when I need to without any pain. I love riding in the car and running around in my foster home's fenced yard, but am also happy just relaxing in my favorite chair. I hardly ever bark, respect cats, am a champ with the dog door, and am reliably housetrained when kept on a ... (Read More)schedule. I don't always play with my canine foster siblings but I am happy to hang out with them. Any kids in my new home must understand my language and give me my space. Life has been scary until quite recently, but bit by bit I am learning to trust people who are kind. If you go slow with me and are patient, I will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. Please visit my foster mom's blog at http://wulfgrl-mydogblog.blogspot.com/ and you can see more pictures of me at http://imageevent.com/newrattitude/sierra.================================================================================================If you are interested in adopting this dog, please go to New Rattitude's website at http://www.NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm, where there is detailed information and a link to our adoption application.

 | Animal ID: 1087Will (male)
Will is a happy, 11-lb. dachshund-rattie mix that is about 1 year old. He has a big personality for such a small guy and a funny little cocky strut that makes you laugh. He is full of energy and would do well in a home where he gets lots of attention. He is very sweet natured and loves to be cuddled and will lie in your lap for as long as he can. This entertaining fellow likes to burrow under covers. He will find a cushion or a blanket and curl up and take a nap numerous times a day. He loves to go on car rides and is a very well behaved traveler. He rode all the way to Oregon and back for eleven hours without so much as a peep! Will's ... (Read More)foster home has 4 other dogs and he gets along with them all, although he tends to be a little bossy and sounds more growly when playing. He is not very good at sharing toys and would do well in a home where he could get all the attention. Will is still young and working on his manners and is showing improvement every day. Since he is very active and loves to run and bark when playing, Will would do best in a house rather than an apartment. Will is house trained and is an expert at running in and out of the doggie door. He is also kennel trained and has earned the privilege of being trusted unkenneled in the house when his foster parents leave for short periods of time. Given one-on-one training, Will will grow to be a very good companion to someone who will give him lots of attention and be home with him most of the time. You can see more photos of Will in his on-line photo album at http://imageevent.com/newrattitude/will and also see a video of him at http://youtube.com/embed/R0QEzcI0nQo. ================================================================================================If you are interested in adopting this dog, please go to New Rattitude's website at http://www.NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm, where there is detailed information and a link to our adoption application.

 | Animal ID: 0857Langley (male)
Deserving Rat Terrier Seeks Supportive Mom &/or Dad. Langley is an upbeat, loving 18-lb., 2-year old who is amazingly smart and attentive and enjoys learning. He knows 'sit,' 'down,' 'spin,' and other tricks and is progressing well on house training. He does tend to get compulsive when anxious, so his foster family has been working with a behavioral vet and using an inexpensive medication that helps him moderate his sometimes over-busy, obsessive mind. He's just a dog who is too smart for his own good and needs to have his brain regularly challenged. Langley needs a family who can provide a committed, supportive, positive, and patient ... (Read More)environment to help him flourish and help manage his overly smart and somewhat compulsive brain. No cats or small pets, as Langley is a devoted 'hunter.' Although he does fine with other dogs, his exuberance for play can be overwhelming for them. He has done excellent in his foster home with other dogs who are his size or larger, easy-going, and love to play. A fenced yard will be great, but Langley also needs someone who is a dedicated walker, runner, or hiker so that he gets plenty of outlets for his energy. Langley loves his walks and they have become a highlight of his day. While Langley may sound like a project, he is such an amazing boy, and his foster parents have grown to really treasure his goofy, loving spirit.

Rat Terrier Dogs can make good pets in Washington if they match your IifestyIe. The Rat Terrier is a small breed of hunting dog also sometimes known as a Feist. Rat Terriers are vivacious, playful, and bold. This breed is great with children. Adult Rat Terriers adapt well to adoption. Rat Terriers are very smart and trainable. This breed can live in an apartment but needs plenty of vigorous exercise each day.
