Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Meet Mercy! Mercy is a loyal, loving, gentle girl. She loves her person and gets along great with other dogs. She is 3 years-old and weighs about 16 lbs. Mercy came to New Rattitude when her owner passed away and the extended family thought she was a little overwhelmed with their toddler twins. For this reason, we feel she will do best in a home with less chaos and noise. She has been wonderful in her foster home. She gets along very well with her two foster sisters. While she will play with them a little bit, her favorite place is snuggled up beside her person under a cover on the couch or bed. She is house-trained ( when kept on a consistent schedule), quiet, and a great lap warmer!! She is an experienced couch potato, too! Smiles and kisses are her other favorite things. Her cheesy grin will light up a room and be prepared for lots of puppy smootches! Mercy is a very laid back, easy going dog who would just really love a family who can spend some time cuddling with her.

Overview:
The Rat Terrier is a lively and intelligent American breed, originally developed in the early 20th century from a mix of Fox Terriers, Old English White Terriers, and other small terriers, primarily for farm work and pest control. These compact yet sturdy dogs typically weigh between 10-25 pounds and stand 10-18 inches tall, boasting a short, smooth coat that comes in a variety of patterns, often with large patches of color over white. Known for their energetic and inquisitive nature, Rat Terriers are remarkably adaptable and affectionate, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families. While their boundless energy necessitates regular exercise and mental stimulation, they can thrive in apartments provided their needs are met. Generally a healthy breed, they have a lifespan of 12-18 years, though some may be prone to patellar luxation or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Their friendly disposition and eagerness to please make them highly trainable and a joy to live with.
