he trees, a.k.a. squirrels. Watching her in action, you'd never guess that this beautiful, fit 21-lb. Rat Terrier is 10. She can keep up with puppies, and she's confident and playful with the other dogs in her foster home. Normally a happy, inquisitive girl, Leia can get nervous (especially on leash) around dogs who are pushy or larger than she. Since backyard squirrel hunting is her most favorite activity, a securely fenced yard is a must for her since she lets nothing get between her and the squirrel she is after. She does have her calm moments too, and in the evenings she'll love to snuggle with you. Leia is working on perfecting her house-training in the rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest, and it's important that you be able to give her regular potty breaks to strengthen this skill. This sweet, silly girl is hoping that you're going to be what she's been waiting for--a family who loves the goofy but driven temperament of a terrier. You'll fall in love with Leia when you see all her pics at http://imageevent.com/newrattitude/leia . Our adoption fee is $175 for adult dogs or $225 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 NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm. From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
