Story
Text or email only for direct contact with rescuer located in Palmdale approved for same-day adoption (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello, my name is Rustin. I’m a cute little rat terrier mix puppy that is a high kill shelter survivor As well as a Parvo Survivor! The odds were stacked against me, but I didn’t give up although I didn’t trust people I was able to trust my rescuer and together she and I beat Parvo and after many sleepless nights(for us both!) when I got the all clear we celebrated with pup cups from Starbucks which is my absolute favorite treat now! My rescuer thinks I will eventually fold and love getting dressed up and all of these crazy outfits and sweaters, but I tolerate them because she squeals when I let her dress me. I have made many friends in the rescue, both feline and canine, A house pig and some sheep and goats that come in for daily treats (I’m not too big a fan of the house chicken as he is very protective of my rescuer) but I’m very well socialized with a variety of animals and with a little time and more desensitizing to touch, I will regain my trust in humans, but my rescuer feels I am ready for my own forever home because she believes that one on one time and socialization will help me open my heart once more. I love to be held and I easily fall asleep in your arms I’m not a super hyper or even active puppy I’m very playful and sweet but also very mellow and relaxed when I’m comfortable I just need someone who is patient kind and soft spoken to bring out my full potential and show me it’s OK to be a puppy! if you think that sounds like you and you’re willing to give me that chance, Please contact my rescuer directly with the information listed above my story to schedule a time for us to meet I am approved for same-day adoption so if you fall in love with me, the adoption process is easy you sign the adoption contract, Pay the adoption fee, Take the adoption picture for the adoption Hall of Fame on her website, and I am yours and you are mine to begin our new lives together❤️ I’ve come along way and survived so much and I am ready for this next chapter. I look forward to meeting you!

MILLIE

Rat Terrier

Female, Adult
Los Angeles, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
MILLIE is a lovely adult/senior, 8 pounds, girl Rat Terrier whose senior human dad passed away, leaving Millie and her four little companions, Cookie, Shorty, Poopsy, and Missy, without their dad. They all get along really well, are house trained, and also know to use pads to do their business indoors, and at night, and when it's raining or very cold out. They are not barkers, only barking to warn that someone is at or near the front door, and then they settle down again. They are great with cats because their housemates have been six (6) cats! If shown a lot of affection and understanding when welcomed into their new homes, we are sure these lovely kiddos will do well in a loving new home even if they don’t stay together. IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently the number of deaths from hungry coyote attacks has greatly increased. Coyotes can climb 10 foot fences with a small to medium sized dog in their jaws. This happens in broad daylight in the middle of the day, and on trails while hiking with your dog on a leash, it is truly unbelievable, and we have frightening first-hand accounts. We are listing these lovely pups to help their current foster/rescue in finding them wonderful new homes. All four girl pups are spayed, Shorty is neutered, and all of them current on vaccines. To learn more about Millie (Cookie, Shorty, Poopsy, and Missy), please contact us at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our PayPal email for donations and sponsorships).
