Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Meet Mars, a 3-year-old bundle of cosmic energy who is ready to orbit around his new forever family! Weighing in at just 13 lbs., this pint-sized explorer proves that the best things really do come in small, high-speed packages. A classic “type B” short rattie, Mars has an “off switch” for down time when he naps on the sofa or in a crate. He is still learning about the world, which includes potty training. Currently he does well on a schedule but still needs patience and consistency. Mars loves toys, but he also loves a recently worn shoe and might run off with it to add to his toy pile. He has mastered “sit” and would love to learn more with plenty of treats. Because Mars has so much spirit, he’d thrive in a home that can keep up with his active lifestyle, take him on adventures, and indulge his youthful curiosity. Even though he likes to be the center of attention, he would be happy with another small canine sibling. He is also fine with kids that would enjoy his silly antics. Mars is the perfect blend of "go-go-go" and "love-love-love." His personality can be summed up in three words: Energetic: Whether it's a morning zoomie session or a brisk walk around the block, Mars has a zest for life that is truly infectious. Playful: He never met a ball or toy he didn't like! Mars is always up for a game of fetch or a wrestling match with his favorite plushies. Snuggly: Once the sun sets and the energy levels dip, Mars transforms into a world-class lap warmer. He is a total "velcro dog" who wants nothing more than to tuck his head under your chin and snooze.

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.
