This tiny little girl is named Tina! She came from a shelter in TX when her time ran out and her family didn’t come to get her. She is only about 6 pounds, and a year old. She is crate trained, but much prefers to sleep in a soft dog bed. In her foster home she sleeps on a pillow on top of her crate! She is quite the jumper. Tina is super affectionate and loves all humans, men and women alike. She greets all visitors with a butt-wiggle and makes friends easily. Because she is so small, we think she would do best in a home with children older than 6 or 7. We think she must have been an only dog, because she’s not quite sure how to play with the other dogs in her foster home. She is extremely possessive of rawhide chewies, and will cause a huge ruckus if another dog gets too close to her prized possession. However, people can take a chewie away from her, and she doesn’t object at all, she rolls over on her back. She is only possessive with other dogs. Once the chewies have been put away, she is a perfect angel with the other dogs. She is fed in her crate, so the other dogs won’t bother her while she eats. She would probably be very happy as an only dog, so she would get all the attention. Tina is housebroken with a doggie door, and will go to the back door to be let outside if the doggie door is not available. She loves to retrieve toys and small balls that are thrown, and is eager to please her people. We think that because she is so small, she makes up for it with plenty of “rattitude.” If you are looking for a spunky little girl who will give you years of companionship, maybe Tiny Tina is the girl for you!

Lefty is a tall standard rat terrier, weighing 26 pounds. It’s hard to imagine, but he was a very skinny 16 pounds when he was picked up as a neglected stray. Despite all the hardships in his short life, Lefty still loves everyone. He likes men and women equally, and follows his fosterdad around when mom is busy. He gets along with all of the dogs in his fosterhome; some are much smaller than he is, and some of them are pretty bossy, but Lefty takes it all in stride. He has very long legs and loves to chase squirrels and birds in the backyard of his foster home. Because of his prey drive, he may not be good with cats, but he hasn’t been tested yet. We feel sure he would do well with children of any age, as well as any other dogs. His perfect home would have a fenced backyard so he could get plenty of exercise. Lefty tested positive for heartworms, so he is going through the treatment now, and doing great! He should be 100% healthy about the end of June when his vet gives him a clean bill of health. He is crate trained (sleeps willingly in a crate) and completely housebroken with a doggie door. He is extremely loving and affectionate, and walks great on a leash. He also likes to ride in the car! There’s just nothing bad to say about this wonderful guy. For more photos of Lefty in his fosterhome, check his album often:

This adorable little guy is named Pippin. A short description of Pippin is: a dog that loves everyone! Pippin is between 1 and 2 years old, and weighs 12 pounds. He is a type B Rat Terrier, with shorter legs. His fur is super soft, and he is affectionate without being too clingy. He likes men and women equally, and enjoys following his foster dad out to the shop, where he sits and observes. He greets every visitor to his foster home with a tail wag, and thinks they are here to see him! Pippin would probably be fine with children, especially older children who won’t chase him to pick him up.He is a bit mouthy and likes to play with hands, so smaller children would need to be supervised. He is crate trained and is housebroken with a doggie door. In fact, he loves to be outside exploring, even without his foster mom. And did we mention he loves toys? There’s really nothing negative we can say about this great little dog. This little guy minds well, wants to please, and will wake you up with lots of “good morning” kisses if you adopt him.
