Tate's Adopted!

Little Miss Tate is now a Seattleite in the Greenwood neighborhood. Hopefully she will stop by Makeda and Mingus sometime to say hi - it's New Rattitude's official Rat Terrier (and lesser dogs :) friendly cafe'.

She now lives with two moms who love her and their other two dogs - a Rat Terrier and a Shiba Inu - greatly. Tate will look forward to lots of walks, play times and probably even some classes and goofing off time at the K9 Fun Zone!

While we will miss this little love who is such a friendly kiddo, we are happy to be back to our laid back pack of middle aged and elderly dogs which is much more our speed.

We will be taking a couple weeks off of fostering to attend our son's college graduation and then will come home to a new foster girl who is a big one - over 30 pounds, although she needs to shed a few of those pounds. Stay tuned for her introduction.

Harrison is Adopted!

We are happy to announce that our goofy boy Harrison has found a home! He'll be moving to Shoreline, Washington and will have a high energy Jack Russell brother and a laid back Rat Terrier sister. His brother loves to wrestle and play and he and Harrison played non-stop at the home visit.

His new mom is retired and loves to take walks with her dogs and is excited to add more terrier personality to her household. She will get her money's worth with Harrison. He has a double dose of personality!

One last funny Harrison video - this is a little dark but very cute. It shows him playing under the couch. That black string looking thing in the video is all that remains of the Tuffy Octopus he got when he first arrived back in October but he still loves it.

We already know who our next foster will be and he will arrive at our house on January 10th. Stay tuned for his introduction...

Adopted!

Hartley's adopted! Toady she joined her new family of a mom, dad, and a kitty sister. We are sure that Hartley will love not having to share her humans with other dogs and since she likes cats, she'll enjoy Bella the cat too.

We won't have to miss her for long though - her parents have had a big trip planned so Hartley will be back in two weeks for a two week stay so we'll get some more snuggle time with the sweet gal.

Adopted!: O'Keefe is Heading Home

Even before he arrived at our home, we had an applicant waiting for O'Keefe because he sounded like such a great fit for them. They were specifically looking for a dog who would enjoy being a running partner and as expected, this long-legged young guy really enjoys both running and walking and has proven to be great on leash.

O'Keefe

O'Keefe will be an only dog, which is his preference since he finds it really annoying having to share the best dog toys and to worry about running into other dogs when he bounces in excitement. He's very much a guy who really wants human pals - he soaks up any attention he gets and just glows with pleasure. In his opinion dogs are pretty "meh".

He'll be nearby and if you ever like to stroll along the Redondo Boardwalk on the Puget Sound you just might see him loping along with his people. He'll be with us a few more days and then will be on to bigger and better things at his new home. Best of luck, big boy!

Adopted! Klee is heading home

We had Klee in foster care for quite a while considering she is a puppy. The reason was that initially she had to wait to be spayed since she was recovering from a head injury. Then her new family had a 2 week trip planned so she stayed with us until they were back.

But the time has finally arrived and we will be sending sweet Klee off to her new home over on the Key Peninsula tomorrow evening. She will have a mom and dad who are home most of the time as well as a furry sister who is close to her age. Both girls had a ton of fun with each other during the home visit and I'm pretty sure they will be best of pals in no time. None of the dogs at our house like to roughhouse with Klee other than Chima and Chima's size and intensity were a little too much for her so I'm sure it will be very exciting to finally have a dog who is a closer match to her in size, energy and play style.

So goodbye sweet Klee. Have a long, happy life!
