Rat Terrier ResQ

ADOPTED! Flora

Jacki — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:35:41 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Tokiwa family!

Flora is a beautiful 1-year-old girl, who was surrendered to the shelter by her owner. Once she gets to know you (just a few minutes), she is a total love bug. It took a few days of daily walks for her to calm down and now she looks forward to her walks. She is crate trained, okay with dog-savvy cats, good with dogs, and working on perfecting house training. Quick movements of young children would more than likely frighten her. She weighs 12 pounds and stands 12” tall. Flora will need someone that will continue to work with her socialization and take her to obedience classes to increase her confidence and bring out her full potential. She also loves to run, run, run, and run some more, so she would probably like Agility or Flyball. Please see more photos of this sweet girl!

ADOPTED! Camelot

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Hairston family!

Camelot is 4 years old and although he weighs 24 pounds, he should weigh just 20 pounds. He’s very friendly to people and other dogs, and likes to be close to his people. Camelot rides great in the car, and is completely house trained. He would be a great companion to someone who is home all day or would be a great travel companion. Camelot was left to fend for himself on the streets of Oakland where he was picked up as a stray and never claimed. A kind shelter volunteer fell in love with him and his kind spirit and kept him off the euthanasia list until a foster home could be found. Camelot’s foster parents willingly opened their home to help him escape the gas chamber so now he is looking for a forever home. Won’t you add Camelot to your family? Please see a few more pictures of him.

Twitter

Finally, a “Twitter” you CAN spend all day with and not get in trouble at work! Twitter is a very dainty little girl, at only 10 pounds. She came to ResQ from a shelter in Shreveport, LA. Twitter is an affectionate little girl, and loves to be held and follow her person around. She is crate trained and will sleep in her crate without complaining. She is very active and is always on the move! She loves toys, but mostly wants to be with her person. She has a natural bob tail, and fly-away ears that are very expressive. Our vets think she is about 3 years old, and other than being a little thin, is very healthy! Twitter can jump very high when she’s excited to see you, and we think she would be fine with older children. She is nervous around new people for about five minutes, but warms up quickly. We believe she was paper trained, and she is working hard to earn her “house training” badge! If you need a sweetheart of a dog in your life, she may just be the one!

ADOPTED! JD

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Rolland family!

Look at this handsome guy! This is JD. He is almost 2 years old and weighs 19 pounds. JD is a very loving and playful young thing who will lick you to say hello. He loves to cuddle with people and adores being under a blanket. JD enjoys playing with his foster siblings. Hey, and this guy has a few tricks up his paw, like twirling for treats. Oh, boy, does he love his toys, so you’ll need to a good supply. JD loves to run after toys, though not so good at bringing them back to you, but we’re working on it. He also has a hankering to play in the sprinklers. It is most entertaining to watch him run around and try to bite the water. JD is great on a leash, is happy playing at the dog park and is house trained, and crate trained. He’d be best in a home without small children or cats. Please see more pictures of this strikingly handsome boy!

ADOPTED! Bosco

CongRATulations to the Tickner family!

Hi, I’m Bosco! My foster mom says I was named after the chocolate, because I’m so sweet. I weigh about 25 lbs. and am approximately 5 years old. Before I came to live with my foster mom, I had been living on the streets of south Florida and had been brought to a shelter. Nobody came to get me out of that place, and I heard them say that my time was up. But, whew! A bunch of wonderful people took me out of there! I am polite and have really good manners. I know how to sit and stay and am working on learning some other stuff too. If it’s not too much to ask, I’d really love it if my new family had a kid or two for me to watch over and play with. I’d also prefer to be the only dog in the house, since I don’t know my own strength and sometimes play too rough with other dogs. Cats don’t bother me. I pretty much ignore them. I’ll sleep in my crate if you want me to, but I’d prefer to sleep with you. I am completely house trained. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? I have my own leash and will travel. Oh, and here are more pictures of me!

ADOPTED! Madyline

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Aukstikalnis family!

I’m Madyline, but you can call me Princess Madyline. I am 12 pounds, 2 to 3 years old, and a Teddy, which means I am short-legged. I just finished my Heartworm treatment so it is important that I get heartworm prevention pills every month, just like all dogs should! Now I can run and play and I feel just fine. I had bad fur and skin, and I am now getting back to my beautiful self. My fur still has a little way to go to be perfect, but I’m on my way. My favorite dog here at my foster home is a male, and we get along fine since he knows I’m the boss. I love tug of war and I steal his tennis ball whenever I can. If you are thinking about adopting me, you need to know that I need to be top dog since I’m a little bossy. I love to be next to my human and will bestow much love and a few kisses, and I even smile. I am great on a leash, perfectly house trained, crate trained, and I have learned that not all food is mine. So if you are looking to add a little royalty to your life, I’m your girl! Please see more pictures of Madyline — she’s a darling girl!

ADOPTED! Foxy

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Coppola family!

Foxy weighs 18 pounds and has a calm disposition. Our vet estimates her age at about 7 years old. Foxy is a calm, docile girl who won’t chew your shoes! All she needs is someone to love her and she’ll reward you with lots of affection and someone to curl up and watch an old movie beside. This dear one is a very quiet little gal but is alert, perky and curious. She enjoys belly rubs, snuggling with you and walks very nicely on a leash, keeping pace with you at your left. She fits in with other dogs and cats with no conflicts. She crates nicely but potties outside and comes when you call her name. You’ll laugh the way she peeks around corners to check on you to see what you’re doing and the way she gently nudges your arm to give you the hint that she wants to be petted. Any family that adopts Foxy will be totally blessed by her presence and companionship! Please see more pictures of this wonderful gal. Oh, and while you’re at it, see some videos of this cutie!

We film in Maryland in three weeks. It will air February 7, Super Bowl Sunday, on Animal Planet. See last year’s Puppy Bowl website to get an idea of Lasagna’s future.

ADOPTED! Lasagna

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Fiset family!

Lasagna is a dear 10-week-old girl who is just as charming as could be! She weighs about 2.5 pounds, and will probably end up in the less-than-10-pound range as an adult. Lasagna likes to cuddle and play and is a very smart little gal. She is working on her house training and is really progressing nicely! She’s quite an attentive pup, focusing on her person well and will be great to train! Do you love Lasagna? We sure do!

ADOPTED! Lyla

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Priole family!

You have to wonder why a young pup like Lyla wound up in a shelter – especially one as sweet as Lyla! Our vets say she is 8 months old, and weighs 14 pounds. Lyla has a short bobtail and erect ears, and brindle coloration on the sides of her pretty face. She was skin and bones when pulled from the shelter because she was being housed with much larger dogs who wouldn’t let her eat. Lyla is submissive to all the other dogs in her foster home, and is such an easy-going girl, we feel she would do well in just about any family situation. She is doing very well with her house training, and is already crate trained. She happily snuggles with her human, and is so dear. She is a happy-go-lucky girl who has shown no behavioral issues at all. All this happy girl lacks is a home of her own! Maybe Lyla is just the right dog for your family? Please see more photos of darling Lyla.
