ADOPTED!! Spencer
Adopted!! This adorable little guy is named Spencer! Spencer is about a year old, and just as cute as they come. He is a type B rat terrier with shorter legs, and he weighs 12 pounds. Spencer is an active puppy who loves to play, play, play, but then he’s ready for a cuddle and kiss. Spencer is very willing to please, and is okay with dog-savvy cats. He loves to play tug-of-war with his 30-pound foster brother, and fully expects to win! He’s doing well with his housetraining, and is not a problem barker. He usually only barks when someone comes to the door, to let you know. Spencer would love a home where he could play fetch with a tennis ball (his favorite game!) and a home with kids would be a plus! Would the addition of a cute little guy like Spencer to your family make your Christmas merry? For more pictures of Spencer, Click Here:

ADOPTED!! Alvin
CongRATulations to the Box family!
Alvin is a such a handsome boy! At less than a year old, he’s near fully grown at approx. 14” tall from floor to shoulder and about 14 pounds, and has a full tail. He is a classic tri-color with a dashing white blaze. He also has plenty of the famous rat terrier ticking! He’s fully crate trained, quickly learning house manners, and sleeps in the crate with his foster sister without a peep all night. At nap time, he will snuggle into the crate next to his foster sister, Alice, or if he can find a patch of lap, will cuddle up beside you. He seems very content to lay in your lap watching TV, and will soon nod off. Alvin was brought to a shelter in Arkansas as a stray back in August and touched more than a few hearts to make it to his far-away New York foster home in November. Always friendly and loving, he is adjusting well to his new home and many furry and human family members. Alvin is playful and loves to burn energy with squirrel chases in the back yard with his furry siblings. He is very much enjoying his freedom to roam a bit and learning that he is loved and a part of a family again. With his human family, squeaky and stuffed toys mean lots of fun! He’s smart and quickly learning that slippers are NOT toys and that his toys that are kept in a basket. Alvin tends to take them outside to play, but hasn’t learned to collect them yet. Alvin is good with his fostermom’s 11 year-old son and 4 year-old niece so he’s good with children and other dogs, and can be “cat scanned” upon request.
ADOPTED!! Kahlua
Adopted !!
CongRATulations to the Matta family!
Hi! My name is Kahlua, but my foster family calls me Kallie for short. I got lost and ended up at a shelter in SW Florida. No one came looking for me, so I became a Rat Terrier ResQ dog. I am about 2 years old and weigh about 9 lbs. My foster mom says I need to gain a couple of pounds. I am crate trained and love to play with toys and other dogs. I can be bossy with my foster brothers sometimes. I really like to play with tug toys, but if no one is available to tug with me, I will play with a toy all by myself, tossing it in the air and chasing it. I haven’t met any cats yet, but my foster mom can arrange to have me “cat” scanned. I love everyone including kids and really love to snuggle. I will sleep in my own bed or crate, but would really prefer to sleep with you. I promise not to snore. Here are some more pictures of me. Click Here
ADOPTED!! Holly
Adopted!
CongRATulations to the Barelski family!
Holly was so terrified in the shelter that the staff thought she was unadoptable. But one of our ResQ foster parents looked into those pleading brown eyes and made room for her, just in the nick of time. She made a long journey from Arkansas to her foster home in North Carolina in the middle of an ice storm. Holly is grateful for a second chance! She weighs 11 pounds and is 12 inches tall. She is two years old and has a docked tail. She is not terrified any longer, she is playful and very loving to her foster family. Holly is cautious of strangers, but when she realizes that she is safe in your lap, she will camp out for hours! Holly plays very well with the 7 and 9 year-old human children in her foster home, but is afraid of the fast movements of the five year-old son, so an adoptive home with older children would be best. She is house trained and sleeps through the night in her crate, just like a good girl! Holly loves to ride in the car, and her fur-ever home would be one with lots of attention, play, and lots of lap time! At 11 pounds, she is the perfect size for a lap buddy! Her beautiful big brown eyes will truly warm your heart! For more photos of Holly and her foster family, click here:
