Dogs who are OK with Kids
Lady
Sex: Female • Located in: North Carolina • Age: Young
*Lady is being fostered in Winston Salem, North Carlolina.*
Lady is a true peach of a dog, a Georgia Peach, rescued from a kill shelter in GA. After her owner passed away her beloved pets were dropped at a shelter and Lady was facing her last day. Lady has a wonderful, energetic little personality that feeds off of love and attention. Lady is housed trained and is definitely an inside pet. She loves to play chase outside and roll in the grass, but then she is ready to come back inside! She is most happy when in your lap. She gets along well with the other rat terriers in the house, but will growl if they try to take her lap spot. Lady is two years old. She weighs 12 lbs. and is approximately 14” tall. She will bark at strangers, but after a few sniffs she is friendly to everyone. She will let you know when someone is at the door before the bell rings. Lady is very smart and great with children as long as they are gentle in play. She prefers to sleep right in her foster parents’ bed, under the covers (of course!) or cuddled up side-by-side. Lady wants a family like her foster home where she gets lots of petting, love, play and attention! For more pictures of Lady in her foster home, click here: http://ImageEvent.com/coram/lady

Buster
Sex: Male • Located in: Connecticut • Age: Young
*Buster is being fostered in South Windsor, CT.*
Meet Buster! Buster is one and a half years old and weighs 15 pounds. He is being fostered in South Windsor CT. This cutie-pie is a very happy, energetic guy who would love a family with children of his very own to play with. Because of his owner’s health issues, ResQ was asked to help find him a wonderful, forever home. He is a very cute boy, as you can see! He is full of personality, and his favorite game is to play with toys and return balls thrown for him. He could play fetch all day! He is housebroken and sleeps in a crate at night, like a good boy. He loves to be with his family, but may need some time to adjust to any other dogs in the household as he has not made friends with his foster sisters yet. He loves to sit with you when you relax on your couch. He does very well walking on a leash, but would love a fenced-in yard so he can do his super sonic rattie runs. Do you have room in your heart and home for this little boy? He has his bags packed, and wants to be adopted! He promises to be a good boy if you will choose him! http://imageevent.com/coram/buster

ADOPTED!! Sable
Sex: Female • Located in: California • Age: Baby
*ADOPTED!! Sable is being fostered in California.*
Adopted!
CongRATulations to the Mouchakkaa family!
Hi, there! My name is Sable. I’m 5 months old, and they tell me I may be a cross between at Jack Russell and a Rat Terrier. Whatever that is, I’m cute! I’m white with tan markings and was living in Whisky Slew in Tracy until my current foster mum and foster dad found me. It has taken me a little while to adjust being with a “family” – I’m not sure what happened to mine, but guess what? Now I have 4 other doggies to play and pal around with. I like being around other dogs and I’m also very good around children – my Mum and Dad have an 18 month old little boy, who I love to play with and follow around. I need a little training, but given my start in life, I’m well behaved, very playful and love being scratched behind my ears. I would love to go to a family that will love and spoil me unconditionally. If you would like for me to become part of your family, please fill out an application, and I’ll start packing my bags! Note: Little Sable has an undiagnosed leg injury, she may have been thrown from a car. ResQ has scheduled x-rays and she will be treated before she is released for adoption. But this little one is worth waiting for!

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. For a look at Joanie in action check out her photo/video album at: Click Here

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,

Darla
Sex: Female • Located in: Arkansas • Age: Young
*Darla is being fostered in Arkadelphia, AR.*
Darla is 1 to 2 years old, and was picked up as a stray in central Arkansas. When the temps at the shelter reached 100 degrees, ResQ was asked to take her. Darla is an athelete, very strong and solidly built. She loves to run, chase tennis balls, tug-of-war, and play, play, play. She and her foster brother Ruger are best pals. Darla is housebroken with a doggie door, and loves to do rat runs in the backyard of her foster home. She weighs about 16 pounds, and is solid muscle, not an ounce of fat on this girl. Darla has completed heartworm treatment, and is looking for her permanent home. Darla is probably fine with older children who like to play ball, and the perfect home for her would have a fenced backyard or some other way to burn off energy. She is loving and loves to sit in laps, and sleep at the foot of your bed. For more photos of Darla in action,Click Here

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!

Gracie
Sex: Female • Located in: Wisconsin • Age: Young
*Gracie is being fostered in Green Bay.*
Gracie is a 13-pound bundle of energy with a tail that wags all the time. Gracie loves everyone she meets, women and men equally, and gets along with all the dogs in her foster home. She sleeps willingly in a crate at night, and is learning basic manners. Gracie is learning to walk on a leash and brushing up on her house training. Gracie is part Rat Terrier and Bull Terrier, and because of the BT breed, she suffers from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) but it is controlled on medication that costs $14 a month. This has calmed her significantly. A quiet home is best for her, as lots of activity increases her OCD behavior. We are working on reditrecting her with obedience training to help her mind focus more. She thinks sleeping on the bed is the bomb! Sorry, but applicants without a fenced yard will not be considered for this girl. Please see more pics of this girlie!

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!

Mick
Sex: Male • Located in: Florida • Age: Senior
*Mick is being fostered in Jupiter.*
Mick is a refined older gentleman (around 11 years old) that was rescued from a shelter in Miami where he was scheduled to be euthanized. This sweet 14-lb. boy is missing an eye, but he doesn’t let that stop him from being a great dog. Mick is house trained and extremely well mannered. He is fine around children and other dogs. Mick would make a great addition to your family! Don’t miss out on more photos of Mick.
