Dogs who are Female
Stevie
Sex: Female • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Stevie is being fostered in Tampa, FL.*
Meet Stevie! Stevie is a sweet 3 year-old chocolate and white female Rat Terrier who weighs in at 12 pounds. She is being fostered in Tampa, Florida. Stevie doesn’t mind having other dogs around, but chooses not to interact or play with them. She is a refined lady! What Stevie really needs is a home of her very own, after being rescued from a high kill shelter. She was actually adopted from the shelter, but a year later came back to rescue because her family had to relocate. So this pretty girl has lost her home and family twice. Despite being moved around, we think she would do well in any type of living environment. She is very laid back, docile and quiet, and wouldn’t mind spending her days on the couch or in her owner’s lap. She loves to be around people, and adores children. She would make a great companion to someone living alone, who has a laid back lifestyle and wants a loving companion. Stevie doesn’t like too much activity around her, she doesn’t like too many people around her at once in the home. She enjoys going for little walks and meeting new people. She is very shy at first but warms up. She is not interested in playing with toys, chasing small animals, or running around. If you would like a laid-back little dog to follow you and be a great companion, Stevie is the dog for you. For photos of Stevie in her foster home, check her photo album here

Penny Lane
Sex: Female • Located in: Arkansas • Age: Young
*Penny Lane is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*
Penny Lane is about a year old, maybe younger. She was dumped, along with her pup, at a farm supply store in rural area. Luckily, a friend of ours named Betty, who is involved in rescue, saw them and began feeding them. Soon afterwards, she was able to catch them both and asked for help from ResQ. Penny’s pup was safe with Betty, and we were asked us to help place Penny Lane in a wonderful home. Penny is 13 pounds, and has a curl in her tail that makes her very cute! She is mainly white and black, with brindle patches on the sides of her sweet face. She has a full tail and button ears that sometimes turn out. She is doing extremely well with her housetraining, and has already learned the doggie door in her foster home. She sleeps in her crate at night without a peep, and gets up in the morning ready to play! She plays with the other young dogs in her foster home, and seems to like everyone she meets, after about 5 minutes of investigation. She is learning to walk on a leash, so that she will be ready for her new family. If you need a sweetheart to give you plenty of rattie kisses, let Penny Lane know, so she can pack her bags to go home!

Dixie Belle
Sex: Female • Located in: Arkansas • Age: Young
*Dixie Belle is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*
Just like any well-bred Southern girl, Dixie Belle has two names! Dixie Belle is a sweet 10-month pup who somehow found her way into the shelter in Cabot, Arkansas. The volunteers there worked hard to get her into rescue because of her wonderful temperament. She seems to love everyone. Dixie weighs about 14 pounds, and should probably be 16 when healthy. (she’s a bit skinny right now) Dixie Belle has already learned the doggie door in her foster home and is doing great with her housetraining. She is crate trained and sleeps willingly in a crate at night. Her favorite thing is stuffed animal toys! She loves to play with the other young dogs in her foster home, and we think she would be fine with children. She is self-confident and not at all shy or skittish. Dixie Belle has beautiful, long legs, and she can run like the wind! She loves to snuggle into a pile of warm laundry and take a snooze. The best home for her would have a fenced-in backyard so she could run and play. Dixie is very smart, and watches her foster mom all the time, wanting badly to please her. She also likes her foster dad and greets visitors with a wagging tail. For more photos of this pretty girl in her foster home, check her album often:

Princess
Sex: Female • Located in: California • Age: Adult
*Princess is being fostered in Sonora, CA.*
Meet Princess! Princess is a delightful little lady, approximately 5 years old. She is petite at 11 pounds and around 11 inches tall at the shoulder. She is being fostered in Sonora CA. This is an extra special, very sweet girl. She is calm in the house, rides nicely in the car and enjoys going for walks. She is housebroken and has no trouble with other dogs – even big ones, or cats. She has a very quiet personality, but she will alert you if someone dares to ring the doorbell. Princess was rescued from a county animal control shelter, so her history is a mystery. She is sensitive to movement, such as doors closing behind her and tossed toys or treats, so she would be more comfortable in a home with adults only or older children. She is very snuggly, but cautious with petting, perhaps she was not treated nicely in her former life. She is coming around now with lots of love and gentle treatment. Like most Rat Terriers we know, Princess is very happy cuddled up next to you to watch some TV and likes to burrow under the blankets at night. Her foster siblings are not cooperative, but she would very much like to run around the yard and play with them. Princess went on her first hiking adventure recently and she loves snoozing outside in the California sunshine. Princess is ready for her loving forever home and she will give you that love back a million times over! For photos of Princess in her foster home, see her photo album:

Malaya
Sex: Female • Located in: North Carolina • Age: Young
*Malaya is being fostered in Winston-Salem, NC.*
Meet Malaya! Malaya is a precious little 11-pound Rat Terrier that melted many volunteers’ hearts when they first saw her photos and the plea for help from a shelter in Rosenberg, Texas. ResQ immediately sprang into action to get her to safety. She did not have much time at the high kill shelter and we had to work quickly to get her out. An angel of a volunteer from Katy, Texas stepped up and pulled her out of the shelter for ResQ and then took her to the vet for a once-over and vaccinations. Four days later she put Malaya on a plane from Houston, Texas, to Raleigh, North Carolina. We cannot thank our Texas angel enough! There she was greeted by her new foster Mom and driven to Winston-Salem where she is currently being fostered.. That night Malaya got to meet her foster family of four other Rat Terriers, a Golden Retriever, 3 children and Mom and Dad . Tired from travel and a bit scared at first, Malaya sniffed her new surroundings and then started bouncing around. Her personality is super sweet and loving. This little girl would be so happy to have her forever home where she could receive lots of love and attention. She is only about 10 months old, and just as cute as they come! She is busy learning the routine of her foster home and the skills, like housetraining, that she will need to enjoy a new home of her own!

Mattie
Sex: Female • Located in: Missouri • Age: Adult
*Mattie is being fostered in Cape Girardeau, MO.*
Mattie is a refined lady who needs a quiet home. She is about 5 years old and weighs about 18 pounds. Her former owner was confined to a wheelchair and Mattie was her constant companion. Mattie has been taught to use potty pads, but has now learned the doggie door and is going outside on her own. She walks well on a leash, and loves to sleep in her own little doggie bed on the floor. She prefers to sleep by herself under a blanket when it’s bedtime. Mattie would probably be fine in a crate, as long as she had her blanket with her. She is a bit timid with children who move quickly, so we think she would do best in a quiet home, maybe with no children or older children who understand her sensitive nature. Since she has learned to use the doggie door in her foster home, she is becoming aware that the outdoors isn’t such a scary place after all. Even though she is mildly timid, she enjoys laying in your lap or beside you to watch television. Mattie is uncomfortable being picked up, it is something new to her and scares her a little. After all, her former owner was unable to pick her up. She is not food aggressive, but does become defensive when she is chewing on a rawhide or other chew toy. She knows how to “sit” for a treat, and wants so badly to be a good girl! Mattie lost her home through no fault of her own, and is searching for that special owner with just a little love to give a dog named Mattie.

Sophie
Sex: Female • Located in: Connecticut • Age: Adult
*Sophie is being fostered in Bristol, CT.*
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?
