New Rattitude's 4th Annual Northwest Rattiefest was a smashing success! There were well over 60 dogs and their people attending who had traveled from all up and down the West Coast to attend. The event made $1600 dollars in just 2 hours and that money is going to help a lot of homeless rat terriers! Not only do we have great adopters but, pretty amazing New Rattitude supporters as well!
The best part of the event for us getting to see so many former foster dogs who are obviously loved and cherished by their adoptive families. We had fun visiting with a number of adopters who had adopted some of our more challenging anxious/shy/fearful/under socialized foster dogs and the progress and dedication to continue to work with their dog was heartwarming.

We had a great set up for Rattiefest.
A big shout out to the NR team of volunteers who donated raffle items, packaging and signage, baked items for the food table and their time. This event takes a good amount of time to plan and execute and everyone did an amazing job.

The sales table full of great dog toys - there was also a great looking food table which I missed getting a picture of!
Here's a great Video of Rattiefest 2014 by Boushey's adopter - you get a feel for all the dogs and people in attendance.
We saw a number of our past foster dogs and they are all doing amazing! We visited with Royal, Reynvaan, Boushey, Pixie, Ursa, Inigo, Corwin, Syncline and K. There may have been others there but with so many dogs and people it was hard to see visit with everyone.
I was lucky enough to have access the below photos of our past fosters who attended 2014 Rattiefest!

Seeing so many happy dogs gives us a lot of joy and days like Rattiefest remind us of why we foster. So many great dogs that were in need of a bridge to a second chance at an amazing new life. We are happy to be that small bridge!
If you've ever thought about fostering - New Rattitude is an amazing organization and below are some of the highlights:
