BRANDY (IL) - RAT TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Brandy is a 1-year-old rat terrier mix who is house-trained, great with other dogs, and friendly with people. She’s energetic and playful, but may not be ideal for homes with small children due to her tendency to nip during play. Brandy is very vocal, especially when she's excited about dinner or playtime -- she sounds like a little "demon" but in the best way! At night, she sleeps in our bed, though she’ll happily move to a dog bed if she’s had enough. In the mornings, she’ll greet you with kisses or a wagging tail to help wake you up, making sure your day is off to a great start. Brandy loves walks, though she can be a bit unruly for the first few minutes. Once she settles, she walks well but tends to be reactive to other dogs, so a harness is recommended to prevent injury to her neck. Brandy is healthy, though she does have bilateral luxating patella, a condition she was likely born with. The vet suggests keeping her under 16 lbs. to manage it. Her ideal home would be active, possibly with another dog her size who enjoys playing. Brandy is smart and would benefit from formal training.
