Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ryder is the ultimate mystery mix—rat terrier with a dash of “who-knows-what,” but whatever it is, it's 100% pure sweetheart. He was found as a stray, and with his owner now facing health challenges, he’s looking for a new home where he can continue his mission of spreading love. Ryder is the kind of dog who makes friends with everyone: kids, dogs, cats, you name it. He's like the social butterfly of the animal world, but with way more fur and a tail that never stops wagging. If you need a buddy who’s equal parts snuggle and silliness, Ryder’s your guy—he's ready to join your family and win over every heart (and treat jar) in sight!

Snoopy

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Male, 10 yrs 11 mos
Agua Dulce, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He was surrendered to us in 2022 when his person was too sick to care for him. He was then adopted and lived in what we thought would be his forever home, but a year and a half later they returned him back to us due to no fault of his own. He is energetic, enjoys long walks, and loves nothing more than to be right next to someone. We think he is now about 10 years old. He may be a mix of Rat Terrier and Chihuahua, but we can never be sure of that. He is hit or miss with other dogs, mostly miss, so we want to place him as an only dog (and no cats) in an adult-only home or home with older children. If you are looking for the most loyal best friend that will never leave your side, this is the guy for you. We do require visits here to our rescue in Agua Dulce, CA, and in person home checks for all adoptions.

Ace

Rat Terrier Blue Heeler

Male, 8 yrs
Agua Dulce, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Itty bitty Ace lived with an unhoused person for the first few months of his life and then was rehomed to someone who just dumped him on a busy road in Acton a few weeks ago. He is not even a year old and has never had a stable home. We call him itty bitty because he’s so petite, maybe 25 pounds. He definitely has heeler in him, maybe rat terrier, and your guess is as good as ours on the rest. He’s sweet, a little shy, and we are certain he would make the most loyal companion if just given the chance. He looks like a big dog, but he’s so small. We require visits here to our rescue and in person home checks for all adoptions.

Othello

Rat Terrier

Male, 11 yrs 2 mos
Covina, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Othello, our 10-year-old, 15lb Rat Terrier mix, is ready for his forever home. He is a very sweet and calm dog. He does well with other dogs and is good with people. He may be a little timid in the beginning but warms up quickly once he gets to know you. He is good on walks, loves his naps and toys. Othello can have some separation anxiety at first but does better when he adjusts to his new environment. One quirk of his is that he is an escape artist, a real Houdini, therefore, high walls are preferred. However, once he has adjusted and is comfortable in his new home, he just wants to stay home and get all the love he deserves. He has been waiting very patiently for someone to notice him. We think he's a hidden gem that deserves to shine. If you would like to know more about him or have questions, email us at heartandhomerescueorg@gmail.com.
