SWEETIE (SC) - RAT TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Sweetie is a 10-year-old female rat terrier that weighs about 14lbs. She was named for her personality; she is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. She is friendly with people of all ages, dogs, and cats. She is relaxed and calm around the house, though she does love long walks. She walks well on a leash, and is happiest when going at a fast pace! She loves meeting children on her dog walks. Her foster family normally has foster kittens that feel very comfortable around Sweetie and treat her as a mama. She is not much of a lap dog, preferring to rest on her dog bed. Sweetie is house-trained and will go to the door to go outside. Sweetie does have moments of incontinence possibly because of her age and mostly limited to when she is sleeping. Sweetie has also been diagnosed with liver disease and takes daily supplements to maintain her liver levels. Her monthly medicine costs are about $50. She has no problems taking her medication. Sweetie is very food-driven and is not picky about what she eats. She will take her daily pill like it’s a treat! Sweetie was rescued from a terrible situation and despite her earlier struggles she is still a very kind and loving girl. She would make a great companion for someone willing to give her love and take good care of her. If you spend any amount of time with her you would think she is the cutest girl.
