Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). If you're ready for an affectionate little snuggler who loves belly rubs, Romano is ready for you! He is about 4 years-old and weighs just under 15 lbs. Quiet, gentle, and a little reserved, he is a low-key guy who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He greets strangers to the house with eager tail wags and is friendly with everyone. After a little marking on his first few days in his foster home (which could happen again in his next new home), he has shown himself to be reliably house-trained. Romano is a great loose leash walker, has lovely house manners, rides well in the car, and sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He doesn't play with toys but he does enjoy a nice chew stick. Overall he is just an easy-going fellow who likes his naps and would like them even better if he could share them with you! Please check out more photos and some videos of Romano in his online album at .ImageEvent/beales/fosters/romano .

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.
