Dogs who are OK with Kids
Ivy
Sex: Female • Located in: Connecticut • Age: Young
*Ivy is being fostered in New Britain.*
Ivy is a sweet, loving, 6-month-old puppy. She weighs about 8 lbs and has the softest fur. Ivy loves to pay with her sister and all the other foster dogs, no matter what size. She likes to go in the fenced yard and do Rattie runs while chasing any dog that wants to play. Ivy is doing great with her potty training and will use a potty pad if needed. She is crate trained, but she will need a little training on the leash. She loves to sit on your lap and take a nap and also enjoys playing with all toys. She would be best with children over 6 because she is still a little bit mouthy, but she is learning to use her toys instead. She is not a destructive pup and is happy just to play with her toys. She is an active pup and will need someone who is willing to walk her and play with her so she does not get bored. Please see more pictures of this starlet!

Sid
Sex: Male • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Sid is being fostered in Tampa.*
Sid is a wonderful 4 year old male, who was rescued from a kill shelter. He is such a sweet guy, loves to be cuddled and is always giving kisses. He is very laid-back, but he loves going on his walks and looks forward to them. Leash walking him is so easy; he will walk right next to you. He likes being outdoors, so a home with a secured fenced yard would suit him best. He doesn’t mind being around other dogs, but isn’t much into interacting with them. He is submissive to other dogs and would not pick a fight. He will chase the tennis ball, but seems more content on being a lap dog. He is a friendly boy and will let anyone pet him including children. As long as someone pays attention to him he is happy. He likes to chase small animals so a home with cats would not be good for him. We think a home where he will get a lot of attention and affection would suit him best. Please see more pictures of Sid!

*PENDING! Gizmo is being fostered in Babson Park.*
Adoption Pending!
CongRATulations to the Carreno family!
Hi! My name is Gizmo. I’m 3 years old and I weigh 14 lbs. Before I became a Rat Terrier ResQ dog, I was a stray in Northeast Arkansas. I was injured on the street and spent 3 days under a tree in a pile of snow before a nice volunteer came to get me. Due to my injuries, I was not eligible for adoption. Another volunteer arranged for me to take a plane ride to Florida where my foster mom was waiting for me. I’m doing much better now and am recovering from my injuries. I hope to be ready for my own family soon. I’m a really good boy. I sleep in my crate without complaining. I’m house trained, and I get along with everyone, including cats, dogs, and kids. I’m also very vocal and will talk to you if you like, but I promise not to bark too much. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so please adopt me, I have my own leash and will travel. If you’re wondering about my life on the streets, I’ll tell you all about it. You can also see more pictures of me!

Hank Hobbit
Sex: Male •
Located in:
Arkansas •
Age: Baby Sponsor me!
*Hank Hobbit is being fostered in Arkadelphia.*
Hank is an adorable puppy, and is 8 weeks old as of 2/1/10. He was left on a doorstep in East Texas, and ResQ was contacted. Hank is a happy and healthy puppy, and has started his routine shots. He weighs 4.6 pounds at 8 weeks, and is extremely self-confident and bold! He does love to snuggle in your lap and give puppy kisses, though. He has short little legs, which means he is a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier (formerly called a Type B Rat Terrier). His ears are going up, but aren’t quite there yet. Hank is just a beautiful puppy. He is being happily spoiled by his foster mom, who is going to hate to see this little darlin’ go! Please see more photos of Hank and his brother, T.J.!

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 12 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!

Rudy
Sex: Male •
Located in:
California •
Age: Baby Sponsor me!
*Rudy is being fostered in Fresno.*
Isn’t Rudy the cutest? He is a 12 week old Rat Terrier mix (born December 7, 2009). We say mix because we know his mom was a Rat Terrier but we can only guess that daddy was an ACD/Blue Heeler. Rudy is about 11lbs with the most gorgeous green eyes you’ll ever see. Rudy is a smart pup! He has learned to sit and learning his house training manners quickly. As long as he is kept on a schedule and taken out often he does well. He knows what he has to do when we go outside. He is crate trained and will mostly sleep through the night. Every once in a while he will need to go outside to do his business. Just like most puppies, Rudy is playful and curious; unlike most puppies, he listens well. Rudy would be fine with cats and kids and other dogs. You have to see more pictures of this breathtaking boy!

Pluto
Sex: Male • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Pluto is being fostered in Valrico.*
Hi, my name is Pluto. My foster mom named me after the planet, because I’m small. I weigh about 17 lbs and am about 3 to 5 years old. Before I came to live with my foster mom, I was homeless. I was brought to a shelter, but nobody came looking for me. After a while, my time was up. I was very scared, but then my foster mom showed up to take me out of that scary place. I’m a very good boy. I never go potty in the house. I’m learning to sit and stay, but I have to stay on a leash whenever I go outside. I like to go exploring, but I might get lost if I wander off. I met a 12-year-old kid and I loved him! I’m good with dogs and I met cats and totally ignored them! What I really, really wanted for Christmas was a family of my own, but no luck so far! Can you help me have a fantastic new year in a new home? Yours truly, Pluto [P.S. See more pictures of me!]

Warrior
Sex: Male • Located in: Texas • Age: Adult
*Warrior is being fostered in Austin.*
Warrior is an awesome and handsome 12-pounder who came to ResQ after his owner surrendered them at the local kill shelter due to moving. Warrior is a healthy and happy young man who is about 2 years old. He is house trained, kennel trained, gets along well with all the dogs in the house, is a very sweet snuggle bunny, and is just an all-around great dog. Warrior is a calm thoughtful soul. Warrior loves to try to get his older Rattie siblings to play, but sometimes is a little overzealous with his play invitations, but he will submit. Warrior is a quick learner and is working on some basic training. He is a very easy boy to live with. Warrior will be a great family dog, especially if he has children to play with and throw balls for him to fetch. He would also be a sweet companion as an only dog. He can be “cat-scanned” upon request. Make sure you see more pictures of Warrior!

Maynard
Sex: Male • Located in: Texas • Age: Baby
*Maynard is being fostered in Garland.*
Howdy! Maynard is a Texas boy who is 8 months old (his birthdate is 4/28/09) and weighs about 13 pounds. He has Texas-sized ears, as you can see (!) and is probably a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier (which used to be called a Type B Rat Terrier). He has a full tail that wags constantly, and those short little legs certainly don’t keep him from running and playing all day! Maynard is very affectionate and loves to snuggle, and is a doggie-door champ at his foster home. He doesn’t even mind going outside to tend to his biz in rain, as long as it’s not a bad thunderstorm. This young dog has a lot of energy and spunk, and is certainly no couch potato. The perfect home for Maynard would have a fenced backyard and some older kids to play ball with! He might be a little rambunctious for toddlers. His foster mom says he is very smart and very trainable, and willing to please. If you’re looking for an active dog to have fun with the family, Maynard may be the one!

Casey is a wonderful young man, 11 months old and about 10 lbs. His legs are a little shorter than average but that doesn't hold him down any. Casey loves to play with bones or chew toys and play chase... [
