     My Little Ratter Jack was just adopted to a forever home as of last night! He has really found a very loving home with no other dogs, and will have lots of toys and food, and just as important LOVE and lots of walks! I also kept asking and searching diligently for the right people and screened them well to make sure Jack was going to a great place forever. He was given to me starved where you could see every bone, and dehydrated where his eyes were even sunken in some. His belly was swollen with worms and malnutrition, as well as he was sunburned. I got him fattened up, dewormed and got him started on good food, and he really came around to be the most best little guy! His new family loved him the minute they seen him, and he reacted just as enthusiastic as most Ratters get! I gave him for free and his registration papers to them so they could register him in their name. Thank you for posting the Rescue Me! site, as I hope it helps other Ratters find the loving homes they and all dogs deserve! Sincerely, Denise Rader

     Rescue Me! is so simple and such a great way to reach far and wide for potential new guardians for your precious furry friends and family members who for some unforeseen reason or in the best interest of your best friend you must re-home. In this case there were many inquiries and Sassie was adopted after two trial runs with two previous families. Her new human came all the way from outside Seattle, Washington to Tigard, Oregon to do a meet and greet and it was a perfect match. I will continue to use Rescue Me! to help place my sister's other retired show dogs and one she rescued from an abusive breeder... I will spread the word far and near!!

     We had to let our dog Tanga go due to moving, and we couldn't take her. I stumbled across the Rescue Me! site by chance and after a couple weeks, an old friend we had not seen in a long time contacted us about Tanga. She had seen the post and wanted to meet her. We took Tanga over and there was an instant connection. Tanga is very happy now and I can even visit on occasion whenever I go to see them. What a small world. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     I tried on my own for a month to find my rat terrier a new home (friends, flyers, etc) but with no luck. I posted him on Rescue Me! at lunch one day and six hours later I had two interested people. Two days later he was adopted by a great couple who had another rat terrier, just what my little guy needs. I know he will be very happy with them which makes me very happy. Couldn't have found this home without Rescue Me!

     We had a family member who needed to have his two pets adopted in a very fast time frame and Rescue Me! was able to get both girls placed and saved from a very bad situation. Our family will always be in their debt.


Sender: David Nunn     Date: January 5, 2013 _
     We had Beau on Rescue Me for some time. He was very unhappy living with us because he didn't like me. He seemed to have a problem with older men. He got along fine with younger men, women, and all animals. A very nice lady, Carol, saw the posting on Rescue Me! and called. She drove all the way from Fort Worth to Wolfe City, over 90 miles one way, and took Beau home with her. I hope they have a long and wonderful friendship. Thanks, Rescue Me! David Nunn

     Thank you so much we have been worried that we would not find a good home for Dobby. Today, Dobby went home with his new owner and we are confident that he will be spoiled as he deserves. Thank you so much Rescue Me, we could not have accomplished this with out you!

     Thank you so much for this website!!! I rescue strays, have them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, then try to find them loving forever homes. A local rescue group with connections to the New England states was posting some of my foster dogs, and if they were adopted, the group was getting the adoption fee even though I had paid for the vet costs. It did not discourage me from helping the animals though; however, when the rescue group changed management, they stopped posting my foster dogs. I am so glad to have found your website, and I have been spreading the word! Rescue Me! has helped me find homes for 3 dogs so far, the most recent being Caramel (now known as Bella). Her new 'dad' has been in touch with me to say that she is having a blast with her new doggy brother and sister! I am so happy for her, and through Rescue Me! I was able to find the perfect family for her! Thanks again! :)

     Cookie was at the Pet Medical Clinic for a little while! Then, she went to the Winona Animal Shelter for a little while! I called the other day to make sure, if she was still there, I was going to bring her some toys & treats! They told me she was adopted by a wonderful loving family, & I was so grateful, so happy, & in tears of joy! Thank you for letting me be on Rescue Me to find her a great home! May God Bless you all financially, so you can help others like Cookie Elizabeth! Sincerely yours, Julie Green

     Tonie was rescued by heart2heart small dog rescue, from a Louisiana shelter that still believes gassing animals is ok. She came up with 6 other ratties to her foster home in Albany NY. Tonie was seen by a vet for her first checkup and heart worm test. Tonie tested very high Positive. A very kind women donated all the money it cost to have Tonie treated for her heartworm. In the mean time H2H posted Tonie on rescue me and a family here locally fell in love with her. The great family that adopted Tonie is very loving and are going slow with Tonie to over come her fears of humans from her past life. Tonie is now an only dog in her very own loving home and will be a cherished pet for the rest of her life. Thanks rescue me for what you do to help homeless animals in need.

     Thank you so much, Jeff, for your north carolina rat terrier rescue site. A family in Charlotte saw my posting on your site and adopted Casey today. I had mentioned that she was available to rat terrier lovers only, and lo and behold, that is exactly who called. I wondered if I would received a response from your site and I received two responses in less than 2 weeks. Thanks again for helping me find Casey a great home. Margaret

     Thanks to your site. He has found a new and forever wonderful home, now Rat Attitude and the blind dog rescue sites are another story. If they think they cannot make any money off the animal they are not worth their time. They told me and Goofy's new owner he wasn't worth the time or trouble. They could take in 5 or 6 seeing animals and get them in & out the door in the time it would take to find a home for him. Just greed is all it is. Not the animals, thanks so much for your help Goofy and I both thank you.

     Callie has been adopted! I thought I had followed the correct procedure to indicate so on the Rescue Me site but apparently not as I still to this day, April 13th, 2012, I am still receiving inquiries regarding beautiful, elegant and perfectly proportioned Rat Terrier Callie!!! I am flabbergasted at the outpouring and responsiveness from the RescueMe.Org site! WOW! I had never even heard of a Rat Terrier until my sister's friend had a major stroke and could not longer care for Callie and we all jumped in to figure out what to do. I sent out an email to other family and friends and was told through someone who knew about it through someone else about the Rescue Me site! This is a very user-friendly site and I appreciate that it exists and yes, I'll make a donation! Thank you! Karen Thomas

     Dear Mr. Gold, I could not have found her a better home on my own! The woman that has adopted her is the best person for my baby. I didn't want to have to find her a new home in the first place but due to moving it was a necessity. Reese is now with a wonderful person who can give her the undivided attention that she truly deserves that I couldn't give her. She is pampered and spoiled rotten and it warms my heart to know that she is in a home where she is so happy! Thanks to your site this was possible! Thank you so much! Have a blessed day, Natalie

     Hi I think I have found Libby a home. A very nice young man is going to meet me after Thanksgiving and will take Libby home with him. He has had Rat Terriers and know their personalities. He has also promised me he'll return Libby back to me if it doesn't workout. I do have a feeling this adoption will work out because Libby is such a great dog. I think Rescue Me is a wonderful way of finding homes for pets in need of a new home. Thanks so much! Tarona Stanfield

     Hi Jeff, Gus was adopted by a couple who was from the same state as we lived. They had just lost their dog after 13 years and wanted a new breed to lift their spirits. Gus seemed to be a good match because he likes to be held and cuddled, which I could no longer do with a new baby. They were very happy to adopt him and came to the house 3 days later to pick him up. I really appreciate Rescue Me in helping to arrange this match. I am very happy that Gus was able to find the loving home he deserved. Thanks again, Melissa
