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 Taffy (ID)

Taffy is as sweet as the confection he's named after! This handsome boy is approximately 7 years-old and trying to reach his optimum weight at about 29lbs. In spite of his large size, he insists on being a lap dog. He loves to be included in everything that his foster mom is doing whether it be cooking in the kitchen or taking a shower! Taffy came to his foster home fully house-trained (with a doggy-door) and he already knows commands such as "stay", "come", and "paw"! Taffy is very friendly and sweet to all people he meets and the vet staff just loved him! He enjoys sleeping and hanging out with the other dogs in his foster home but he can become the "fun police" and squash the playing of the other pack members. Because he is so focused on his person, he would do very well as an only dog or with a laid-back female doggy sibling. He seemed a little too interested in the cats at the vet's office so a feline housemate is not a good match for Taffy. A secure fence is a must to prevent him from chasing wildlife or other critters as he does have a strong prey drive. He has proven himself to be resourceful at escaping and knows how to open doors that have lever handles. Taffy does guard his toys and prefers to play alone with them, for that reason he should go to a home without young children. Taffy gets very excited for walks and has become a great running partner to his foster mom. He will need a couple of outings each day to keep him mentally stimulated and physically fit. He is very athletic and strong and will need a sure-footed person as he pulls and has a habit of jumping up for attention. He's working on this! He is overall a mellow guy, hanging out in the office while his foster parents work and cuddling with his person under a blanket to watch TV in the evenings. He currently sleeps in a crate but he would prefer the option of sleeping with his person. He is happy to jump in the car and go for a ride. He has a chicken and beef allergy and is thriving on salmon-based food. Taffy is a wonderful guy and would love to find a home with a person or persons that can include him in their daily activities. See more pictures and videos of Taffy at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/taffy
