Dogs who are OK with Cats
Joanie
Sex: Female • Located in: New Jersey • Age: Adult
*Joanie is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*
Joanie is a black and white smooth coat teddy type rat terrier who is about 3 years old. She weighs only 9 lbs. and stands 10 inches tall at the shoulders. She has erect ears, a tricolor head, brown eyes and a short little tail. Joanie is a people-person. Errr … People-Dog. She would probably be very happy as an only dog. As an alpha female, she tends to get possessive of her person, but she has learned to share couch time with her foster brothers and sisters. She REALLY loves being close to you, and thrives on attention. Joanie is great with kids (toddlers) and tolerates cats. Joanie has a close relationship right now with Chachi, who was with her when she was found. She can be a bit bossy but is learning at her foster home to fall in with the pack for walks, feeding and grooming time. Joanie is a smart, quick little girl who enjoys a quick sprint as much as a quiet nap. She is crate-trained and currently prefers sharing her crate with her BFF — Chachi. She is an athletic little gal who runs, jumps and climbs with the best of them. She can scale a chain link fence if the mood strikes her, so that needs to be taken into consideration for placement into her new home.

Jackie
Sex: Female • Located in: New Jersey • Age: Young
*Jackie is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*
Jackie is a sweet-tempered ball of fire! She has a ton of energy and LOVES to play – with anyone (any dogs, cats, any humans, all toys, even an ice cube!). Jackie is tall (16 in floor to shoulder) and thin (about 22 lbs) but she is a terrific eater. She can jump VERY high and is extremely light on her paws. She has a long tail, erect ears and a reddish-tan mask over her ears and face. Her hair is smooth and soft. She’s mostly white with a few tan and black spots here and there. Jackie is a true lover, showering everyone she meets with kisses, and tries to sneak in a snuggle whenever she gets close to you. She is great with kids but might tip over a toddler because she jumps when she gets excited about playing with someone. She walks on a leash nicely, is doing great with housetraining, rides in the car quietly and gently takes treats from your hands. When she sees you go near the treat bag she automatically stands up on her back legs and crosses her paws to look as cute and hungry as she possibly can. Hard to resist! Jackie doesn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in her body. She enjoys learning new tricks and is curious about just about everything! A friend took her to an agility course and she showed great interest in the activities – this would be a great way to channel her energy – she’d be a natural! For more photos of this amazing dog,

ADOPTED!! Swai
Sex: Female • Located in: New Jersey • Age: Adult
*ADOPTED!! Swai is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*
Adopted!
CongRATulations to the Ford family!
Sweet, Sweet Swai! Swai is a quiet, little teddy-type rat terrier who is looking for a safe, loving home. Swai’s family had to give her up when someone developed allergies so now she’s ready to start over. Swai is white with brown spots, and her face is tricolor with big, understanding brown eyes. She is 11 inches tall, 14 inches long and is just a tad zaftig — tipping the scales at 14 lbs. (but currently working on losing a few with a healthy new diet and exercise). She is about six years old and is housebroken, walks like a lady on a leash, rides patiently in the car, and when she gets playful she trots around the lawn in celebration. Swai has settled into her foster home with ease, uses a low growl to assert herself, but is definitely submissive when challenged. She does not want to fight and she prefers to play gently. Swai can be timid with strangers at first. She definitely needs an understanding family who will be as gentle with her as she is with them. She enjoys getting brushed or petted and thoroughly enjoys soft belly rubs and quiet times at your side while you’re reading, working on the computer or watching TV. Swai bonded quickly with her foster mom and is very loving. If you would like a furry companion that has a lot of love to give, Swai is the gal for you!

Ghillie
Sex: Male • Located in: Tennessee • Age: Young
*Ghillie is being fostered in Portland.*
Please meet shy, silly Ghillie, a Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix! Ghillie is approximately 1 year old and he’s all legs right now – 14″ tall and about 17 pounds. His foster mom is feeding him such oh-so-good kibble that he’s sure to gain a few more needed pounds. Ghillie is crate trained and is quiet all through the night. He is house trained and gets along with 6 other Ratties in his foster home. He LOVES to ride in cars, is easy to walk on a leash and enjoys meeting new people. His favorite place is in your lap – on his back and belly up in the air for all to see. He sleeps on the bed at night and stays until its time to get up. He has been cat-scanned – he showed interest but no aggression. He would do well with children but may be a bit timid in an extremely loud environment. Ghillie is a sweet boy who needs a loving home with an empty lap waiting just for him. Make sure you see more pictures of this cutie pie!
