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 Kirby (MI)

Meet Kirby! Kirby is a 1-year-old, 16-pound rat terrier bursting with energy and personality. This playful pup is looking for a forever home that loves fun as much as he does! Kirby enjoys chasing toys, romping with other dogs, and engaging in lively, puppy-style play. He's still learning his manners and can get a bit mouthy when excited, but it's all in good fun. He appears fully house-trained—only one accident on his first day—and has never marked indoors. At night, he settles down in his crate after a few initial whimpers and also travels quietly in a crate in the car. He thrives around other dogs and would do best in a home with canine companions. However, on-leash encounters with unfamiliar dogs trigger barking and lunging, so he'll need training to improve his leash manners. An obedience class would also help with his typical adolescent boundary-pushing. Kirby hasn't been tested with cats or children, but his energy level may be too much for small kids right now. Kirby would love an active home—ideally with a fenced yard—where he can run, learn, and bond with his humans. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion, Kirby is ready to join your family!    For more photos/videos of handsome Kirby, take a look at his album at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/kirby
