Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Meet Simba, an affectionate 4-year-old boy who weighs around 15 lbs. Simba is a well-mannered young boy: he's house-trained, sleeps quietly in his crate at night (or snuggling up with his human), and uses the dog door like a pro in his foster home. Simba loves wrestling with his canine foster sister and would love to have another similarly sized fur sibling. He gets so excited about his long walks, but he is equally happy curling up under a blanket. He's a good car rider and is still working on his leash-walking manners. It takes Simba a while to warm up to new people, but once he adjusts, he is loyal and loving and will be your best friend. Simba is a little clown and even "talks" with quiet little noises to let you know when he wants a pet or when he is ready for dinner. He delights his foster family and makes them laugh every day at his antics.

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.
