Not Available

Location: Arkansas

*Chico is being fostered in Arkadelphia.* Hey there, Chico! Chico is a handsome little guy, about 12 pounds, who was rescued from a backyard breeder situation in South Texas. He is very shy in new situations, but once he trusts you, he is a true lap dog. Chico is very smart and is housebroken with a doggie door, as well as crate trained. Chico is young, probably 2 years or less. It is important that any prospective adopter know that Chico tends to bond to one person, and would probably not be a good choice for an active family dog. He has recently started to interact with other people more, after intense socialization efforts by his foster family. He has come a long way, but still needs to learn a few things. He needs to be trained to walk on a leash, and not to bark at visitors, but he's trying hard to be good! Chico must have a home and family that understands unsocialized dogs and has patience to help him trust humans again. He will reward you with unlimited dog kisses and a warm lap. Check in on Chico and the Rockport 9 often!

Zoe

2008-08-06

Location: California

*Zoe is being fostered in Auburn.* Zoe is a 1 year old Rattie. She is a very energetic young lady and would really like to be part of an active family. Her prey drive is very high so she would be a good candidate for Agility or Flyball. She gets along with the two Ratties in her foster home and does fine with the resident cats, although it wouldn't be advised to have small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, or guinea pigs, which could end up being her lunch that are within her reach. Zoe would be fine in a home with older mature kids. Zoe has been diagnosed with PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), which is extremely rare in Rat Terriers. Her current blood work and urinalysis show that her kidney function is in the normal range. She may need to be on a low-protein diet for the rest of her life and may need to be on an herbal supplement. We would recommend for her adopters to have a good relationship with their veterinarian and be willing to follow the recommendations. Zoe loves life and is always up for a new adventure. Are you ready to bring this little ball of energy into your life?

Rian

2008-08-24

Location: Wisconsin

*Rian is being fostered in Green Bay.* Rian (pronounced Ryan) means "Little King" in Irish and he's hoping someone will make him the Little King of their castle. Rian was one of the Rockport 9, seized from a backyard puppy mill. He likely lived all of his 3-5 years in a feces-filled cage so he is working hard on house training and really just wants to sit with you and be close to you. He is a snuggler and loves small stuffed toys. He likes to jump, run from room to room and get a good "rat run" going. He is guaranteed to make you laugh each day. He is crate trained and goes right in at night. Because he is so tiny at 8 lbs., with very long, thin legs and still a bit nervous, he would do best in a home with older children. Rian has some nervous issues with strangers coming into the home, but we're working on that and he is currently in training class and daycare where he is learning how to be a dog and be brave. See more pictures of Rian!

Bandit

2008-10-01

Adoption Pending!

Congratulations to the Edgar family!

Location: Idaho

*Bandit is being fostered in Boise.* Bandit is a 4 year old male, weighing 11 pounds. He is very muscular, playful and loves tennis balls (chases them, eats them and sleeps with one). He really enjoys all toys and would love to learn tricks. He has that "circus dog" look and likes to walk on his back legs for treats. He does well off leash though he is afraid of moving vehicles and will run from them. He likes to ride in the car, just doesn't like them to move when he is not in them. He gets along with dogs but would be just as happy as an only dog. He sleeps in a crate but loves to come cuddle in bed in the morning; overall, he would rather you play with him than cuddle. We call him Little Man (lots of personality in a small package). He really is a kick and would be a great dog for a single person or a couple that wanted to include him in their daily lives. He has come along way in fostercare, getting more and more confident. He would not be suitable for a family with small children. His fostermom can't say enough about what a fun and entertaining dog Bandit is. Wouldn't you like to see more pictures of Bandit!

Miah

2008-10-14

Adoption Pending!

Congratulations to the Walczak family!

Location: Connecticut

*Miah is being fostered in South Windsor.* Miah (pronounced Mee-ah) is a very active, playful little girl who would do well in a family with children older than 9. She is about 15 pounds and about 12 to 18 months old. She is crate trained, housetrained and has learned to use a doggie door if available. She is shy at first but is doing much better at coming for petting and hugs. Miah loves to play, play, play. Miah is doing great with the other dogs in her foster home and loves to play with them. She has discovered the dog toys and enjoys pulling them out of the toy box to play with. Miah would be a terrific family pet. She is very energetic and would love a fenced in yard to run in. Once she has tired herself out, she will sit next to you on the couch covered with a blanket. She is learning to walk on a leash and enjoys the neighborhood sights and sounds. She may be a good agility prospect. Do you have room in your heart for Miah?
