Sybil (OR) - Rat Terrier Female Dog For Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat).

After being adopted to a loving home for almost 10 years, Sybil found herself back with New Rattitude after her person fell too ill to care for her any longer. Being a senior girl herself, Sybil is looking for a nice retirement home. Sybil is approximately 15 years-old, around 14 lbs. and quite the character. Although both her eyesight and hearing are not what they used to be, she has a silly, playful side and she can get a little rambunctious at times for an older girl. Her most favorite thing in the world is treat/meal time and she gets very animated, jumping and prancing about in anticipation! Sybil does just fine with all the other dogs in her foster home and being followed around appears to give her some security. She does spend much of her time napping in a comfy bed both inside and out in the yard. Going on walks isn't necessary as Sybil can't go too far and moves slowly when she does venture out. She needs a securely fenced yard, and a doggie-door would be ideal since she navigates going out to do her business very well. Sybil is house-trained however, being an older girl, she can sometimes leak a bit when she gets excited or sneezes. She can get a little disoriented after waking up but, that only lasts a few minutes. Stairs or obstacles of that sort would not be ideal for Sybil, a single story home is best. She has been sleeping in a crate in her foster home and does well for the whole night with no accidents. She is a quiet girl and has only barked a couple of times in her foster home. Sybil is a sweetie who enjoys the simple things, a comfy bed, lots of treats, good food, and a secure yard to wander in occassionally. She does appreciate affection (she has very soft, silky fur) but, does not like to be picked up and is not able to get on the furniture for snuggles at this point in her life. She does like to follow her people around and would feel most comfortable in a home where someone will keep her company most of the day.
