     My Heath was adopted by two adorable sisters who are college students. I could ask for a better family. They live with their parents, brother and a son of one of the young ladies. I often worried that my apartment manager would make me get rid of him even though I was granted permission to have him, but with his separation anxiety and incessant barking I knew it was a matter of time and due to my health I couldn't give him everything he needed, so out of love for my precious Heath, my husband and I put Heath's needs first and let him go. Thanks to the family that adopted him and thank you Resue Me for your help.

     Thank you, Rescue Me! You have been an amazing blessing for Bailey and Cooper! Their owner, a recent widow, is now having some serious health issues of her own and knew that she needed to find a loving home for her two darlings. With your help, we posted their bio to your site. We were told by other groups that we should be ready to separate them because finding a home for two bonded litter mates could take months. Well that just wasn't so! With the help of Rescue Me, in less than two weeks we had two interested families to choose from and we couldn't be happier to know that Bailey and Cooper have a new forever home with a lovely, loving family that thinks they are just as special as their original mommy did!! Thank you so much!

     Me and my husband's work schedules have made it so our dog was locked up nearly 20 hours out of the day. We are moving in less than a week, and our new house doesn't have a fenced in yard, so we can't just have him roam out there most of the day. He's a very high energy dog and deserves so much more than what we can currently give him, so after no help from local shelters, we turned to Rescue Me. Within about a week or two, an incredibly sweet couple looking for a dog just like Max called. In under 30 minutes at the dog park, they were in love with him and he was sweet on them. We're so grateful to have found a good, loving home for him through this website. Now we won't have to worry if he is getting the love and attention he needs.

     We rescued Piper and took him home. The first few days he would hardly eat or drink water and just lay around. Now today, he is up, playful, eating and drinking water, alert and listens when you speak to him. We are very pleased with him and he has found a loving home and he loves affection. He is very good around kids, other dogs and cats. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     My husband and I wanted a Rat Terrier to help us on the property with squirrels, rats and mice. If Radison, aka Ratty, can help us with that it will be icing on the cake. She is such a sweet and lively little bundle of energy. My husband is so happy with her, he gets up early every morning to take her out for her potty time. We recently found out from our Vet that at six months of age, she has no hearing in one ear and only a very small amount in the other. At first I was saddened to hear this new development. However, she is a blessing and this only means we will have to rely on hand signals more than sound, which is more natural for dogs anyways. In three weeks, she has already learned to sit on command, potty outside and 'NO Chasing the Chickens'! I encourage everyone to adopt a pet (cat or dog) from Rescue Me! These animals need our help and the people who rescue them too.

     I rescued this little girl who was kept in the backyard for a year. She never went to a vet. When she got pregnant, the owner got rid of her puppies then her. She was only 14 pounds when I got her and she got the help she needed. She is now with great owners. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     Jackson is such a sweet boy that somehow ended up as a stray. He was very thin and scared. After a month with me he looked great, was so happy go lucky. Today, exactly one month after he came into rescue, he found his furever home.. He was just overjoyed when he met his new mommy and daddy and the feeling was mutual. Love at first sight for all of them. I'm so happy for you Jackson. YAY! Thank you, Rescue Me, for a great site to help find these fur babies their wonderful furever homes and the life they so richly deserve. God Bless you for all you do.

     This was one of the most difficult things we've had to do, re-homing our beloved Cash. But once my husband and I met Leon and Bobbie, our minds and hearts were put at ease. We couldn't have asked for a nicer couple or better home for our sweet little Cash. Although we woke up missing our little guy this morning, it is comforting to know he is in such a loving home. Thank you, Rescue Me

     The very day I posted Rebel on Rescue Me, a lady and her husband who had lost their beloved one to cancer wanted to know more about him. They spoke to me at length and as they seemed so very loving I waved the adoption fee and will meet them half way. As of Sunday, Rebel will be in a happy home with a yard! This is just what my Lil' man needed. I will miss him, but I know he will be happy.

     We needed to find a new home for our Rat Terrier, Jimmy. He was nine years old and has been with me and my husband for nine years before we were married and had our three children. Our son was allergic to dogs, and it wasn't getting any better, and then our newborn seemed to sneeze and cough when he was around the dog. We knew it was time to find him a better home. We were also getting ready to move where there was no yard or secure fencing. We got a call from Bev and Gordon, dog lovers who just recently lost their Rat Terrier, Frisky. She sounded so sweet from her phone call. I was convinced it was a match made in heaven. I sent my husband to drop Jimmy off, and he said that they were all nearly in tears. It made me feel hopeful. We stayed in contact, and after about six weeks, I took my kids and my mom with me to visit Jimmy's new home. He has the run of the house, beautiful yard and surroundings and lots of attention! Just what he deserves! Thank you Rescue Me for this great website!

     My husband and I saw Missy's photo on Rescue Me and fell in love with her. We lost our rat terrier, Daisy, last November from bone marrow cancer. We have been heartbroken ever since. I spoke with her foster mother and she is holding Missy for me to pick her up in a week or so. I plan to drive across country to pick her up- she means that much to us. Traveling across the country is nothing, if you want something bad enough. And we want and need Missy and I will do whatever it takes to have her.

     Roxy is a nine year old, female Rat Terrier that I rescued over a week ago from deplorable conditions.. Our first few days together were tough. She was definitely not used to love, toys or bones to chew on! I desperately reached out to the rescue groups to help find her a home, and while the intentions were good, they are full with more and more pets that have become homeless. A friend on Facebook gave me the information about Rescue Me. I posted Roxy with high hopes, and those prayers were answered. I started corresponding with a woman named Donna and over a few days and lots of questions, decided to make a home visit with Roxy. All the way there I was thinking, if something inside tells me NO, then we are walking out that door. We arrived, we met with Donna and her grown daughter, which is perfect, NO small children, and Princess, the nine year old Boston Terrier they recently adopted from a shelter. Princess immediately took to Roxy and I believe the two will become best friends. It is a home with a fenced yard, and I believe more love than she has ever known! Yes, I cried leaving her there. It's been awesome seeing the transformation from a little girl whose eyes were filled with sadness 10 days ago, leave. But I know she has a forever home! Thank you, Rescue Me.

     I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to bring Jiffy into my life. After two weeks at his new home, he is settling in well, is very eager to please, and is very receptive to training. He is a very affectionate little guy and gets lots of love in return. We went to the vet for a check up and some booster shots, and everything checked out well. It's only been a few weeks, but already I can't imagine not having my little buddy to hang out with. Thanks, Rescue Me.

The pictures that I receive show a content little boy. I appreciate 'Rescue Me!' and what you do for animals, and the owners of those animals. As soon as I can afford to I will donate to this organization!

     Sparky had multiple problems before he was rescued. His behavior was anything but friendly, he continuously barked and ran away from anyone. It is no wonder. He was picked up by a high kill animal control, was surrounded by bad conditions, and on a list to be euthanized. Our rescue group was called as a last resort as we've had results with similar, smaller dogs. The second strike after the nonsocial behavior was heartworm. This too delayed his adoption. His third strike was that he was not housebroken. He still showed bad behavior, and it was no surprise as he did not trust humans. He did enjoy sitting on the couch and cuddling with a couple of the rescuers. When an elderly man's granddaughter saw him on the Rescue Me! web site, she called and wanted to meet Sparky. This was the first interest shown for Sparky. However, his behavior was nothing to count on. She came and was asked to sit on the floor and wait for Sparky to come to her. When the meeting was done, he was sitting in her lap. The next step was to meet the grandfather. He wanted someone to ride with him in his wheel chair. Sparky came in and reminded the man of his beloved rat terrier who had recently passed away. Sparky took immediately to him and they have been buddies ever since. Sparky had been with us for over two years before being posted on Rescue Me!

     August was apparently dropped off in our neighborhood early one morning. After taking him in, we immediately posted his story on Rescue Me! August is a wonderful dog, but unfortunately we did not have the means to keep him, as we have other pets. Over the course of six weeks, three families came to visit August after discovering him through Rescue Me! The last family decided to adopt him, and we couldn't be more happy with his new home! There is no doubt they will provide a loving home for this great dog. Although we are sad to see him go, we are so happy he was adopted by a wonderful family. Rescue Me! has made me realize there are many families who want to adopt sheltered and fostered dogs. It is nice to know that there are so many people with hearts for animals, and we appreciate the platform Rescue Me! gave us to get the word out about August. Thanks for everything you do, and best wishes to the other families who are either looking for that special pet or are currently fostering an animal.

I'm happy that after all the inquiries, and there were many, one gentleman inquired and was really interested in Bailey for his young 13 year old daughter.

     We just lost our rat terrier BamBam and I was missing him. I googled Rat Terrier rescues and found Jeff's Rescue Me! website. The very first photo I saw was of Quincy, a beautiful little boy looking for a forever home. He was heartworm positive at Animal Control and no one wanted him. His time was very limited, and he was going to be put down. But after meeting this beautiful little guy, we adopted him immediately! He is friendly with humans and all of our other pets. Quincy is housebroken, and a true lap dog. Lucky us! Thank you, Jeff and Rescue Me!, for bringing us together. Forever, grateful, Quincy and Quincy's new family in Texas!

     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!!

     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! :)

Many many thanks from Lilly and me, Bert Claverie 'Dogs Wish Rescue' Every dogs wish is to be in a loving home.

     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

     Thank you for contacting me. After getting the word out, I had several responses from your staff, facebook and many more. We found him a home with a lady in Jasper, Al who already owns a female rat terrier. She also had no small children, which we were not certain if Eddie would do well with them. I believe that he has been placed with a loving family. Thank you for allowing me to reach out and find this baby a home!! Andrea Justice

     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

I have already received pictures of her and the family let me know I can call any time to see how she is doing.

     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
