Who Will Our Next Foster Dog Be?

We are pleased to welcome Cony, pronounced "koh-nee", our new little foster boy who will be arriving from Central CA this weekend.  Cony is approx. 6 months old and we are looking forward to getting to know him and helping him find his forever home.

Cony was a stray who was taken in by a family who ended up not being able to keep a young dog as they had just had a baby. It is very hard to juggle a baby and a puppy so they surrendered Cony to New Rattitude.

Where did the name Cony come from? Doing a google search I came across the cutest little truck ever! The Cony Guppy.

Cony cars were built by the Aichi Machine Industry Company in Nagoya. The company was founded in 1943 and in 1965 it became part of the Nissan group. Aichi is still operating today, building the Nissan Serena mini-bus. Cony's speciality was building micro-cars with engines below 360cc. The under 360cc class in Japan was taxed at a very low rate, making the cars very inexpensive.

 Well we just thought that such a cute little rattie boy should be named after the Cony Guppy. Stay tuned for more pictures and videos starring Cony our next foster dog.
