Bella

Cora — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:14:45 +0000

Meet Bella! Bella is an 8 month-old rat terrier/chi mix. She weighs all of about 6 pounds, and is the sweetest little love bug. She is a little shy at first and takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, but she loves everyone. She did wonderfully at a PetCo showing, and enjoyed the attention from lots of new people. She is doing very well with her leash training, and seems to like children. Due to her small size, we think children over 6 would be best. She gets along with all the dogs she has met, and is crate trained. Bella is doing very well with her housetraining, and is very smart! She goes to the door to tell her foster mom that she needs to go out (most of the time.) Bella is young and full of energy, but will settle down nicely to lay in your lap. She is fine with cats, and will just saunter up to them, sniff them, and walk away. Bella is a sweetheart of a dog that needs a home to show her lots of love and attention. She will follow you anywhere, and loves to be with her people. Would you like to become Bella’s favorite person? Check out Bella’s Video

Gracie

Cora — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:13:25 +0000

ResQ would like to introduce Gracie! Gracie is a beautiful 6 year-old female Rat Terrier weighing about 17 lbs. She is crate trained, housebroken, and gets along with everyone including dogs, cats, and older children. Gracie was very quick to adapt to her foster home, and is very happy with her foster family, but she needs a home of her own. She is a sweet and extremely affectionate dog. Like most rat terriers, she is full of energy and loves to run around but is also content to sit in your lap and drown you in doggie kisses. Gracie could be the perfect addition to your family.

PENDING!! Bobo

Pending!

CongRATulations to the Afriyie family!

Want to meet a cute puppy? They don’t come any cuter than Bobo! Bobo is a 12-week old rat terrier mix that is living in a foster home in Bristol, CT, with his brother Brody. These two boys are having a great time, and life is good! He is a super sweet boy who is working on his housebreaking skills and leash training. He’s a smart boy, too, and is already crate trained. Bobo loves kids of all ages and he is also good with cats. Bobo enjoys riding in the car and going on adventures with his foster family. His favorite thing, though, is to run and play with his brother and his foster brothers and sisters! This boy is a total love bug with people, and would make a great family member for someone with or without other dogs. Bobo and his brother Brody are good boys, and don’t bark much at all. Bobo doesn’t waste his time barking, he’d rather be a teddy bear and snuggle. For more photos of Bobo, check his album often: Click Here

ADOPTED!! Brody

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the McGinn family!

Our foster mom in CT is enjoying a little puppy breath! Meet Brody! Brody is a 12-week old rat terrier mix that is enjoying life in his foster home in Bristol, CT, with his brother Bobo. Brody is a sweet boy who is working on his housebreaking skills and leash training. He is crate trained and really focuses on you when training. We think he might be a good candidate for agility. He is good with kids of all ages and he is also good with cats. He rides well in the car, and loves to run and play with his other foster brother and sister. Brody is a total love bug with people. Right now he is teething, so we are working on learning how not to nibble on fingers. He would make a great family member for someone with or without dogs. Brody and his brother are pretty quiet and don’t bark much at all. They are good boys! For more photos of Brody in his foster home, click here:

Sophie

Cora — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 19:15:05 +0000

This pretty girl is named Sophie! Sophie is a chocolate and white Rat Terrier, and weighs about 12 pounds. We think she is about 7 years old. This beautiful dog is a sweet and loving girl, and you will fall in love with her quickly! She enjoys her walks and is very good on a leash. Sophie is housebroken, but will use a potty pad on occasion if she can’t get outside. Sophie is also crate trained. She loves to take rides in the car and sleep in bed with her people, covered with a blanket, of course! Sophie is very people-oriented, but fast-moving kids make her nervous, so she tends to scurry away. We think she would be fine with children over 6. She has shown absolutely no aggression when she is nervous, she just walks around or goes to a quiet place. Her new family will need to allow her time to get settled and learn the routine. She has not been cat scanned but we will do that soon. If her personality is a way to judge cat tolerance, we think she would be fine with cats. Sophie’s favorite past time is to lay in the sun and enjoy life! She would be a devoted companion to some lucky family, could that be yours?

Scooter

Cora — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 02:33:39 +0000

Say hello to Scooter! Scooter is about a year and a half old, and he’s quite small boned, about 13 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 15 pounds. Scooter has long legs, and is a rattie version of Bambi. He loves to give kisses – to any willing humans and his fellow rat terrier brothers and sister. Scooter LOVES to play and really needs a playmate to keep him happy. He plays nicely and does not get rough so he would not be a concern for smaller playmates. He loves to chew on rawhides, pork skin rolls, and especially Yak chews! If you provide him with plenty of chewies, he will be a happy boy! He is not a picky eater and will gently take snacks from hands. He does not like his crate and will let you know for the first 15 minutes of confinement. After that, he will quiet down and go to sleep. He is happiest when he gets to sleep in the doggie bed by the human bed; or at the foot of your bed, to keep your tootsies warm. He rides very nicely in the car. He is a little shy but will grow more confident quickly as he becomes used to a new person. He has not shown any aggression towards any humans or other animals. He is housebroken, and loves his doggie door. Due to his small size, he would be best handled and cared for by older children of 7 years or older. He had shown an interest in cats but not in an aggressive way – he’s probably trying to figure out if the cat wants or needs a couple of kisses! For more photos of Scooter, check his photo album:
