I was lucky to be selected by my rattie's fostermom in 2004 to adopt Sparky (bug) from Texas. I flew down from WA and drove him home to Tonasket up near Canada. He now answers to Paco but still knows his Sparky Bug name. What a blessing this organization is for dog and lonely human!  The adoption process ensures successful transitions for the dogs. Paco saw snow for the first time the first morning after we arrived (this required careful tiptoeing).  He has taken over farm security around here, keeping all rabbits fleet, all coyote visits notified, all squirrels properly treed & ticked off at him, all Ups & Fedex drivers properly 'announced' and his monstrous Malamute brother resoundingly chastised for all infractions!  He takes long walk/hikes daily with the sheep and me, but is the snuggle-bug of HIS couch, faithfully keeping my recliner-bound husband company. Rat Terriers ROCK. My rescue dog is the best friend ever!

I adopted one of your rattie a few years back and I love to go to your website and Look at all the dogs. You are doing a great job.  Keep up the good work.  My little girls name is Marcie and she is doing great.  She now has a sister, her name is Penny.  Thanks again for all your hard work

We are Nikki's forever parents. She came to us 3 years ago from Ratbone rescue. Nik's the best thing that has happened to our family. She's free from her insecurities and physco fears she had the first couple of years. Loves her squeeky toys and keeps them in the toilet when the lid is left open.  We love her personality and mind.

We adopted Tiny from ratbone rescue, he is a wonderful dog and has a very good home.This website is a wonderful website. We are very glad we have him in our home.

I am very fortunate and will be picking up Noodle, a 3yr old ATH within the week. I am so excited to have been able to adopt from Ratbones and love the community and family they have created of happy dog mommies and daddies and their doggy children. This album is so heartwarming and I look forward to adding some photos of my own soon!

We previously owned a little rattie that passed away at the age of 12 years.  For the last 5 years of his life , he battled diabetes.  It has now been a year since his passing and I found the Ratbones website.  We are in the middle of adopting a new rattie and are extremely excited.  I love all the pictures and the stories of the successes with adopted ratties.  I always new that someday I would have another rattie to call my own.  I can hardly wait for the day when our new love finally comes home, FOREVER!!

This is great as a mom to 3 rat terriers I know that once you get the first one your hooked. And one is never enough.I would adopt all the homeless one if I could.

That is the sweetest group of pictures ever!
