The new crew...

These guys were supposed to arrive last week but they ended up bumped from the trip because of overbooking.  That's okay because they're here now! Here's the next crew of Northwest New Rattitude kiddos - 3 in Washington and 1 in Oregon.  Be sure to keep watching because we will be having new rescues arriving at the end of this week and then next week as well.

Balboa is a small 1 year old, male, pearl tricolor Rat Terrier mix and weighs about 10 pounds. He's said to be sweet and cuddly and very laid back.  This teensy man hails from the Kings County shelter in Hanford, California. Balboa will be fostered in Seattle, Washington. Follow him on his mom's foster blog, A Day in the Life of a New Rattitude Foster Dog.

Sullivan is a 2 year old male, tri-color Rat Terrier and weighs about 16 pounds. He too is a sweet friendly boy and if I remember correctly he is from the Central California SPCA shelter in Fresno, California. He'll be fostered in Amity, Oregon.

Shorty is a goofy, inquisitive 8-10 month old male Rat Terrier mix and weighs about 10 pounds. He's a feisty little guy who's all terrier 'tude. He was another stray from the CCSPCA in Fresno, I believe. Shorty will be fostered in Yakima, Washington. Follow him on his foster mom's blog, Yapitude in Yakima.

Cody is a 16 pound male, tri-color Rat Terrier. He was rescued by a no kill shelter that meant well but unfortunately was keeping him in a smallish kennel are with several large beagles who bullied him. This went on for months and months and when the shelter went closed its doors and the dogs were possibly going to end up back in a kill shelter, a foster parent with ACT rescue in Fresno took him in, in spite of the fear reactiveness he had developed during his time in the shelter.  She has worked with him for about 7 months and he's come a long way but needs a little more work with a trainer. He's been transferred to New Rattitude where he'll be fostered by one of our foster parents who also happens to be a positive trainer. We are hoping for things to continue to get better for this boy. Cody will be fostered in Snohomish, Washington. Follow him on his foster mom's blog, Merry Paws - Fostering and Training.
