About RTRC

How to Help

One of the goals of Rat Terrier Rescue Canada is to rehabilitate our rescued Rat Terriers to a healthy and happy state so that they can be adopted. We often rescue Rat Terriers that are in desperate need of medical care and come to us with multiple heath issues. These very special Ratties need your help to get them healthy and adoptable. Without your support, we can't continue to help these dogs. Please make it possible for these little Ratties to have the happy life that they deserve. We appreciate every donation, and all donations go directly towards the care of Ratties in need. We are a non-profit organization working towards our Charitable status in Canada.

Corkie

Corkie is a sweet, loving boy that was very sadly kept in a pen all his life. He was neglected both physically and emotionally. Corkie was rescued from the abuse is and now in a loving foster home, starting to understand freedom, warmth and a full belly and a loving home. He is a very gentle dog and good around other dogs. He is learning to potty outside and sleep on a comfy bed at night. Due to his neglect before rescue, por Corkie really needs a dental done. Would you sponsor Corkie and donate towards a dental for him? His teeth are in rough shape and we think he isn't eating much because they hurt him. A good cleaning and extraction of bad teeth should fix that right up for him! He would really appreciate having his teeth done and sends all sponsors nice kisses to thank them!

Rudy

Rudy is a funloving and happy lil' guy. He is a tiny sprite, about 8lbs and 8 years old. Rudy is super affectionate and loves to give kisses! He is a great cuddle companion and loves to snuggle under the covers. Rudy is gentle and well mannered, housetrained and good withadults, children and other dogs. He is a very friendly boy who loves people. Rudy can sit, shake a paw, and walk on a leash well and he loves to give hugs! Rudy's back was injured at some point in the past before rescue, and while he has good mobility for walking he is unable to use stairs. Rudy needs to take a daily anti-inflammatory arthritis medication to control his arthritis and help him with his back pain, and is having laser therapy sessions to help his arthritis. Can you help Rudy and his rescued doggie friends with vetting costs? Little kissy Rudy sends everyone his hugs and kisses!
