Hi I am new here. We have a Rat terrier his name is Stormy. He got his name because we went through so many horrible storms to get him.He is the life of our family. So sweet and playful. He is 2yrs old. We got him after rescuing our first rat terrier through the humane society that died 2 weeks later from Distemper. That rattie changed us forever. We would like to find our Stormy a brother or sister. Probably a sister would work out better. Up to a year old.We also have a cat. We live in Ohio. We would like her to be brown,black and white. If there is anyone in the Ohio area more towards Cinci or Dayton I would appreciate it if you could pass the info along. We prefer not to have one shipped. Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the site!!!!! I am in Ohio, but all the way to the east, along the Ohio River near WV/PA border.

There are ratties listed on petfinder.com in Ohio:

This one (http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11521589) doesn't have the clearest pictures, but she's listed as a young female who was saved from being gassed. She is in Versailles, OH. Her name is Kallie

This little girl (http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11957742) is in the Defiance, Ohio animal shelter. Listed as a 5-6 mos. old weighing 9 lbs. Her name is Olive.

This little girl is in Taylor Mill, KY: (http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11683550) Isn't she adorable???? Her name is Prada! "Prada is an adorable, adorable little girl. She is about 7-8 pounds and 4-5 months young. She max out around 15 or so pounds."

hi and welcome!! and bless you for wanting to adopt another rattie....

I have two rescued dogs myself....  Kasey from Ratbone rescues, and Indiana Jones from the defiance shelter, which is approxmately half an hour north of me....  

Tracey, i didn't realize that defiance shelter had another rattie....   (i have been avoiding the petfinder, they break my heart and i can't take them all in...  )  

well, anyways...   I do know that the shelter in Defiance is open 7 days a week.... from noon to 5 o'clock....   So if you every want to make a road trip.  So keep looking around, go to petfinder.com or check out a couple of the rescue organization,  ratbone rescues and new rattitude rat terrier rescue....  if you are within 600 miles from the dog's location, a ground transport can be set up and you would have to do the last part of the transport to pick up the dog.  I hope this helps.... and Good luck with your search!

They are ALL so cute!!!

That little "Prada"  girl is a beauty!!!!!

Daisy

Location: Ohio Daisy is 10 years old and weighs 11 lbs. She can be an alpha dog and was on the losing end of one too many battles with an established pack order in previous home. At her foster home, however, she is NOT alpha. Daisy loves meal time and puts on a show of bouncing and squealing until you put her bowl down. She is crate trained and housebroken. Daisy is very sweet and loving. She tends to prefer men to women. Daisy loves her toys and plays with every single one. Daisy loves going for walks and is very praise motivated. She has a pretty good prey drive and will chase cats and other little critters. She is very fearful of kids so shouldn't be adopted to a home with children under age 12. Although she would be a good companion for a home with another small dog, she can be fear aggressive with larger dogs. Daisy has had a rough life and is looking for a quiet retirement home where she can be loved and spoiled, and would be content as an only dog. This dog is okay with: cats dogs kids

Samantha

Location: Ohio

Samantha is a very playful and happy girl. Only 3.5 years old, she is still active and needs a fair amount of exercise, but she also loves to curl up in your lap or next to you and fall asleep. She's funny, expressive, vocal, and likes to give kisses. Sam is a little wary of other dogs at first, but once she meets them she is fine. She doesn't have much experience with cats, but she does have a strong prey drive and would probably chase them if she could. She hasn't been around children very much either, but seems to be okay with them. Sam is housetrained and has had some obedience training. She knows how to sit, stay, come, down, shake, and roll over. She does pull when walking on a leash, however. Sam weighs 16 pounds and she would love to be with an active person or family who has a well-fenced yard for her to run and play in. NOTE: This dog is in our Guardian Assistance Placement (GAP) program, meaning she is being cared for in a home not directly affiliated with Ratbone Rescues. The guardian has supplied vet records and given Ratbone the exclusive right and responsibility to rehome the dog, but Ratbone does not have physical custody and cannot otherwise vouch for the information provided.

This dog is okay with:

cats dogs

Prada is a doll, she reminds me of Alice with her black mask and thin little blaze.

I hope you get her, then we can watch her grow on here with you!! I believe rescuing is so rewarding.
