Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Gentle, quiet, unassuming Brie tends to play second fiddle when there are more assertive, confident dogs around. She craves her share of interaction but is quite shy about asking for it, and when the others get too rowdy, she will just take herself off to a quiet spot for a nap. Even when other dogs aren't nearby, Brie is hesitant about seeking out attention, often cowering and flinching in uneasiness when someone looks directly at her or reaches toward her. But once she is settled in your lap or next to you on the sofa, she melts into your arms, clearly loving the closeness. She will relax into your arms, delighting in the pats and rubs, with no anxiety about being handled. Although she is 8 years-old, Brie doesn't seem to have gotten much training in her past, as she doesn't respond to common verbal cues (e.g. "sit" and "come"), walk confidently on leash, or "ask" to go outside. She does promptly "go" when she is taken out but nevertheless has indoor accidents, so she need a firm schedule with frequent opportunities. Other than inconsistent house-training, she is extremely well behaved and super easy to care for. This little 15-lb. gal is seeking a quiet home without a lot of commotion, where she can live out her dream of being your best snuggle buddy and closest confidante.

Rat Terrier
A.K.A.: American Rat Terrier, Rattie, Feist, Ratting Terrier, Ratting Feist, Decker Terrier
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.
