Description

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Missy is a little bundle of love with a big heart and a big personality! This young 16 lb. rat terrier is affectionate, playful, and always up for a walk or a cuddle. She is a toy fanatic, enjoying balls, ropes, puzzles, and stuffies... toss her a toy and she is ready for action! She enjoys exploring the neighborhood either on leash or on a car ride, but is always happy to come back home and curl up next to her favorite person. Found as a stray, 1 1/2 year-old Missy was taken in by kind neighbors who've been giving her lots of love, care, and much-needed training—and she has made such wonderful progress that she is now ready for a forever home of her own. She's house-trained with regular potty breaks, and is generally quiet and calm when crated. She has also learned a variety of obedience cues, such as "sit," "stay," "free," and "back," and she is currently working on "place" with the help of a private trainer. Greeting strangers confidently and appropriately has been one of her biggest challenges, but with experience her anxiety has decreased, so she now is enlarging her circle of friends. Other dogs and cats, though, cause her great agitation, so she is seeking a new adoptive home where she can be an only pet and the center of attention. Loud voices and grabby hands are also challenging for Missy, so unpredictable young children would probably be too much for her. She would likely do well, however, with older kids who are interested in a dog that is clever enough to learn some tricks. If you've got the understanding and patience to go slowly with Missy while she learns her new environment, she will prove to be your loyal, loving companion.
