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.

Rosie – Injured Tail

Rosie was left outside a vet’s office with half her tail missing. New Rattitude responded to their call for rescue help. Rosie’s foster mom took her to another vet for an exam where everyone said how cute and sweet she is! She does need surgery to repair her tail, but she’s so energetic and happy despite everything! Rosie’s surgery was February 8th and the cost was $669. Can you help us out with a donation? Rosie is already wagging her injured (now repaired!) tail to show her thanks!

Ziggy – Hit by a Car and Needs Surgery!

One-year-old Ziggy was hit by a car and has a broken pelvis and femur. He was taken to a county shelter that doesn’t have the budget for expensive medical treatment, so they reached out to New Rattitude for help. We couldn’t stand to see this sweet boy hopeless and in pain!

New Rattitude rescued him and took him to a specialty veterinary clinic. Ziggy is having surgery on Tuesday, January 16th. The estimated cost is $6,500. Donations will be gratefully accepted – just click on the “sponsor this dog” button below.
