Story
Meet Layla Layla is a mixed breed dog, maybe with some rat terrier, about two years old and about 17 pounds, found pregnant in a kill shelter in Texas and transferred to Maryland. She has the best personality in the world, so loving and sweet, and such a good girl. Her babies are almost ready for adoption and Layla is now too. Adopter will need to bring her to our vet in Columbia, Md on Wednesday Nov 13 or Thursday Nov 21 to be spayed (at our cost of course). PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the “contact us” link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Petfinder inquires are not sent to us. The adoption fee is $425, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG (click on the word "Adopt" at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application) Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. Find our application on our website, almosthomedogs.org, then click on "Adopt" tab at top We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment

Story
LOWER ADOPTION/TRANSPORT FEE $250 Imagine, if you can, a country girl version of Paris Hilton, and that would be OUR gal Paris! At only 6 months of age, she's blonde, a slim 35 pounds, and has long legs and beautiful eyes. Instead of strutting the catwalk, she's running through the woods and checking out nature. Paris is very approachable and loves everyone she meets, (humans and canines), so she'd happily pose for a photo and autograph. She would easily settle in to family or single life, but be advised that her lovely face and sweet personality may attract a lot of attention. (RM, 6/13/2024) LOWER ADOPTION/TRANSPORT FEE $250**It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption fee: $395 covers quarantine, shots, worming, medical records, spaying/neutering, microchip, and an Alabama State Health Certificate. Transport, if needed, is $160. We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. Adoption fees for Hope dogs and those who have been at rescue for prolonged amounts of time are reduced to $150 plus a $100 transport fee, as notated in their listings.November 13, 2024, 3:08 pm

Story
Junior is a 7-year-old 19 lb. rat terrier mix who was picked up as a stray in NC. Junior is very lucky. It is believed he probably had an encounter with an auto that left him a little crooked. When we say crooked, we are referring to his pelvis--or as the vet says, he is a bit 'asymmetrical'. But he is one of the lucky ones that has normal musculature on both hind legs and did not need surgery. Junior is on a low dose NSAID to help keep him comfortable (minimal cost of $10/mo). Junior is also a happy dog. He is thrilled to be getting 2 meals a day, so much so that his prey drive is greatly reduced. He is happy to sit next to you on the sofa, he is happy to go on walks, and he is especially happy to roll in the grass. Junior gets along nicely with his foster siblings but can still be a bit unpredictable when meeting new dogs outside. He might bark when he sees people or dogs but is easily corrected by name (or treats) and is learning that many neighbors give head and chin scratches (and treats), and he will sit politely at their feet taking it all in. Junior doesn't seem too interested in toys, although he has played a few times. But as a big bonus- he is almost completely house-trained! Don't let his crookedness fool you either, he loves to go on walks and can do over 1.5 miles at a time. If you keep a brisk pace, he will keep up with you, but if you slow down, he might just take the opportunity to roll in the grass. Junior's best home is one where he is the only pup, where there are no wood stairs inside, and his humans are home most of the time. He is crate-trained but would prefer not to be crated. Due to his limited range of motion, we are looking for a local adopter who is able to meet Junior. Just beware, he may not be crooked like a thief--but he may steal your heart! You can see more photos of Junior at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/junior .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. November 5, 2024, 10:43 pm
