Our Sick and Injured Dogs

Some of the dogs we rescue have severe illnesses or other serious medical issues that are much more costly than the money brought in by adoption fees. To help nurse these dogs through their medical needs so that they can eventually become healthy and adoptable, we must find sponsors to help with the costs. Please read their stories and consider becoming an angel that these Rat Terriers so desperately need. Canine Clinic Donors are listed on our Donor Recognition Board with donations of $50 or greater denoted by our clinic icon. Also, please pay a visit to our Heartworm Info web page to learn about Ratties needing Heartworm Treatment. 

NOTE: In the event that donation amounts are raised in excess of the required vetting for any particular clinic dog, the overage will be used to assist other current or future New Rattitude clinic dogs. All clinic funds stay within the clinic specifically for dogs with special financial health needs.

Pepper – Broken Leg!

Tiny, sweet Pepper was picked up as a stray. We don’t know what happened, but this little girl has a broken leg which has been splinted. On Thursday, September 26th, Pepper had successful surgery to repair the fracture. The procedure included some internal fixation (plates and screws) to help the bones heal and keep them in place.

The actual cost of Pepper’s surgery was $3,182. Donations from our supporters and followers will be gratefully accepted – just click on the “sponsor this dog” button below.
