Story
Debonair 11-year-old Jax is an active and smart boy who will be a wonderful companion for the right family! Jax is a 25 lb. rat terrier.  He is in excellent physical condition after beating cancer (a mast cell tumor on his belly).  Jax loves sunning himself, walking, jogging, playing with stuffed animals, and chasing a ball. He gets along well with small dogs he's introduced to in his home environment. He has been very nice to his foster siblings but can be protective of his space and might correct another dog who touches or steps on him with a yowl and small snap. Jax would be fine as a single dog or with a respectful smaller dog.  Jax should not live with cats or other small pets. He does also have a bit of anxiety which has been greatly reduced with a stable schedule and increased exercise.  Jax barks at the door when he needs to go out and is perfectly housetrained. He can be trusted to be free indoors and doesn't get into the trash, counter surf, or chew items. Jax might have a tough exterior, but he has a soft, loving heart for someone who is willing to take the time to understand him.See more photos of Jax at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/jax .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.

Story
Here's Boomer, New Rattitude's latest Roswell rescue! Boomer narrowly avoided being euthanized in the Roswell, NM shelter which is sadly extremly overcrowded, but was luckily saved when a kind foster home pulled him at the last moment. From there, Boomer was taken under the wing of The Roswell Survivor Project and transported with 15 other lucky pups to Washington where he is currently being fostered.Boomer is about 2 years-old, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Weighing in at 20 lbs., he is on the big side for a rat terrier. Boomer is a curious guy with plenty of energy, an adventurous spirit, and a sweet personality. He's also a massive cuddle-bug and loves to be with his humans. He can get anxious on leash when he sees other dogs and can pull and bark. He doesn't mind being picked up or handled as long as it's gently and with care. He hasn't been around kids, but is likely to be okay gentle and mature children. With his playful demeanor and friendly nature, Boomer is sure to bring joy and laughter to his new forever home. He's a smart and curious dog who loves to explore and learn new things.Boomer is reliably house-trained after his neuter. However, he will need to be let outside on a schedule since he hasn't found a way to ask to go outside. Boomer does chase small animals and has a normal terrier prey drive. Therefore, he cannot be in a home with cats or other small animals. Boomer loves to chew and prefers plastic toys! However, if he doesn't receive enough exercise he may get anxious and chew items he finds around the home. He is a clever boy and needs to be mentally and physically stimulated or he finds ways to entertain himself! This lucky and lovable rescue may just be the right guy for you.
