New Rattitude, Inc.

New Rattitude is a national, all-volunteer non-profit rescue/adoption agency whose mission is to rescue Rat Terriers (and mixes that are predominantly Rat Terrier) from imminent death at animal shelters, the streets, abusive/neglectful homes, or from owners who can no longer keep a dog, and to rehome the dogs into new and permanent, screened and approved adoptive homes. Each dog rescued is cared for in a safe and nurturing foster care environment where he or she receives appropriate medical care, a high quality diet, training and socialization. To achieve these ends, the organization is involved with transportation, volunteer recruiting and training, mentoring, fund-raising, and establishing and maintaining other programs deemed helpful to achieving the mission of rescuing and re-homing Rat Terriers.

Meet Fagin (MI)

Say hi to Fagin -- this adorable silver/grey tri-colored rat terrier mix puppy boy was born May 17th in New Rattitude foster care.  Fagin and his brother are typical playful pups.  Fagin is the smaller pup now but is the larger pup in spirit and adventure.  He is always first to investigate everything and first to climb into fun places.  Fagin is full of terrier attitude – he plays hard and loves to play tug, chase and wrestle games.  Although he is only 5lbs we are pretty sure Fagin he thinks he is the size of a Great Dane.  Fagin is great about piddle pad training and outdoor potty time, but like any young small pup he does have accidents when he gets distracted (by practically anything).  He is enthusiastically learning about stairs, what is an acceptable chew toy, playing with other dogs and cats, and living with humans. His newest challenge is learning NOT to teethe on human hands and clothing but instead to keep those puppy teeth on puppy toys. We expect Fagin will probably be about 15lbs or maybe a little less when fully grown. Fagin should have a household that loves a busy terrier and is good about training and keeping them out of trouble.  He has not yet learned to walk on a leash and would love to have a secure yard to run around in.  Being so tiny, he needs constant supervision to make sure he stays safe so his humans must be able to provide him with a lot of attention and training. More photos of Fagin can be seen here:  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/fagin .
