About New Rattitude
New Rattitude is made up of Rat Terrier lovers all over the country who join together to help as many Ratties as we can. Our members and volunteers work to rescue these dogs and place them in our nationwide network of private foster homes, where they are cared for until we are able to permanently settle them into screened and approved adoptive homes. To learn more, visit our About New Rattitude page and be inspired by our most recent Annual Report.
About Rat Terriers
Rat Terriers are wonderful companion dogs! But before adopting a Rat Terrier, please take the time to know them a bit better, so you can understand what you are getting into. There is far more to a Rat Terrier than those endearing Rattie ears! You will be happier if you choose a dog for temperament and other characteristics that fit your household and lifestyle than solely by its appearance. Please take the time to read up on the breed and make sure it is a good match before moving forward with adoption. To learn more, visit our About Rat Terriers page.

New Rattitude Rat Terrier Rescue & Adoption3 days agoADOPT STILTON! (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
Stilton has his opinions about Life: People are good. Other dogs are good. Toys are good. Food is REALLY good. Squirrels, not so much. This contented 6-year-old has pretty much mastered the art of keeping a household running happily. Doorbells and the newcomers they announce are to be barked at, but just long enough to ensure that they notice his waggy little 11-lb. self so that they offer the necessary attention and pats. Other dogs are to be welcomed as companions, even when they hog the toys, dog beds, and laps. Boundaries are to be respected--like wastebaskets, tabletops, laundry, and pillows. Humans are to be responded to when they call... unless of course there has been a squirrel sighting. Walks are for fun, and dinner is for pure pleasure. The outdoors is for exploring but also for pottying (after a routine has been established and plentiful opportunities offered!). And bellies are definitely for rubbing.
If you have a household that could use an infusion of personality and spunk, Stilton would like to apply for the position!
