To One Dog, You May Just Be the World…
Rat Terrier ResQ, Inc. is a national all-volunteer Rat Terrier rescue group committed to saving Rat Terriers in need. These dogs are special loving creatures and, at times, end up with people who don’t understand them. These Rat Terriers may end up in shelters after having been abandoned, neglected or abused. We work to get them safe, loved, and healthy — and then find them the real forever homes they so rightly deserve.
Rat Terrier ResQ takes in the unwanted, the unloved, the untrained, the unmanageable, the underestimated. We watch these dogs as they develop and learn, as they become wanted, loved, trained, manageable and just-right! Please consider giving one of our Wonder Dogs a new life by adopting from ResQ today.
Rat Terrier ResQ has Rat Terriers available for adoption in in foster homes all over the United States. Are you looking for a new Rat Terrier to warm your heart? Read about all of the Rat Terriers we have available for adoption.
Our adoption fees are Adults $150., Puppies (under 6 months of age) $175. and AHTs $200.
If you know of a Rat Terrier in danger of euthanasia, please let us know.
Can’t adopt but still want to help a dog? Please visit our Sponsor Dogs to choose a dog to help!
Have you seen our ResQ store? You can flex your shopping muscles and help Ratties in need at the same time! We have several ways for you to Shop for ResQ — just take a look.
Or, if you’re already shopping online, use GoodShop or iGive — just select Rat Terrier ResQ as your chosen cause, and the dogs will get a portion of what you spend. Oh, and until July, remember to vote for us EVERY DAY in the Shelter Challenge at The Animal Rescue Site…the dogs thank you!
