About this shelter

ARTR Corp./National Rat Terrier Rescue in Tujunga, CA

ARTR Corp./National Rat Terrier Rescue, based in Tujunga, California, is a rescue organization located in Los Angeles County, about 20 miles north of Los Angeles, alongside 124 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. Run by Steve and Ceci Giacoma, American Rat Terrier Rescue is devoted solely to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of rat terriers of all ages. Every dog entering their care is evaluated for health, vaccinated against distemper, corona, bordetella, parainfluenza and rabies, and spayed or neutered before being placed for adoption. Prospective adopters are carefully screened and their homes inspected, and ARTR Corp. remains available as a lifelong resource to adopters, requiring that any rat terrier be returned to the rescue rather than sold, given away, or surrendered to a shelter if circumstances change.
