Story
He's cute...adorable actually...and he has no idea! You see, Spartan is totally blind. His right eye is recessed, and his left eye does not work. However, neither eye requires any special care. And this tiny 8-lb. Rat Terrier doesn't let lack of vision slow him down one bit. The way he navigates his environment is so amazing that you'll have a hard time believing he can't see (until he runs into something. Yeah, the navigation systems occasionally go down). You'll also have a hard time believing this fellow has hit Rattie middle age. When you see that baby face and Spartan's puppy-like way of playing with his dinosaur and climbing under the blanket, you'll surely guess him to be much younger than his 9 or 10 years. Spartan lives with seven other dogs and gets along with all of them. He has met kids whose ages range from 1 to 18, and he does well with them also. He does struggle with house-training, but with a belly band, he should be improving soon. He would love to be a companion to someone who is home all day (and who could provide frequent potty breaks). Spartan is such a special guy...and he's available for spoiling at your house today! Our adoption fee is $175 for adult dogs or $225 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.

Bandit

Rat Terrier

Story
Bandit was homeless, running loose as a terrified stray for several weeks during January 2020, one of the coldest months in Indiana. We got a tip that he had taken up shelter in an old, abandoned "poor asylum" in our county and that is where we found him. Bandit is a typical Rat Terrier. His foster mom, who is also a dog trainer, reports that his house-breaking is going great, he is crate trained and the separation anxiety he had at first is no longer a problem. He walks like a dream on the leash! Bandit does have a tendency to chase and nip, climb on furniture and play "king of the hill." He is learning boundaries and manners, and because of his high prey drive (typical in terrier breeds), his foster mom is also working with him on his reliability of leaving/ignoring other critters. Bandit is territorial toward men and protective of women and children, but with proper training he will make a great family pet!
