So we have a great New Rattitude volunteer who watches Craigslist (Washington State) for rat terriers. When she finds a listing, she emails the add letting the people know about New Rattitude's ReHome program http://www.newrattitude.org/rehome.htm and also the dangers of listing free dogs on Craigslist. Craigslist is a very scary place for small dogs listed as free or for a minimal rehoming fee. There are lots of horror stories out there about what can & does happen to the little dogs found for free or inexpensively online.
One of the people who placed an add, replied to the New Rattittude email and our volunteer and state coordinator began talking to this person about her 8 month female puppy and we thought the lady might be willing to do ReHome. Another email though let us know that we’d better pull the puppy soon if we had a place to put her. So into action we went, our state coordinator met up with the person to do a temperament test of the puppy and the puppy passed. We didn't have an open foster spot for this little girl so, our volunteer who found her stepped up to pet sit her (she's an approved NR pet sitter) while we decided what to do next.
Ursa came to us last night, we are now in foster dog over load but, we are pretty sure both Ursa and Dunham will be adopted pretty quickly given their age, looks and personality!
