Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Bonita is a petite young dog with a bright, confident personality. At only 6 lbs. and 10 months-old, she carries herself with surprising presence and charm. She enjoys being around people and other dogs and is especially fond of curling up next to anyone who sits down. Although she gets along very well with the other dogs in her foster home, she likes to chase after them sometimes, so resident dogs should be patient and tolerant. 'Nita is affectionate, social, and very people‑oriented. Her energy level is moderate, giving her a nice balance of playful activity and relaxed downtime. She walks well on a leash and enjoys exploring the neighborhood. As a young dog, she is still refining her house‑training skills, but she is eager to learn. Nita enjoys chewing on bones, chasing tennis balls, lounging on the deck, and joining her humans on outings. She is happiest when she can be part of whatever her family is doing, whether that's a walk, a coffee shop visit, or simply relaxing outside. Nita will thrive in a home that can continue guiding her through her house‑training and provide structure as she matures. A fenced yard is recommended to give her a safe space to explore and support her training. She would be an excellent match for someone who enjoys bringing their dog along for adventures and wants a small companion who is always ready to join in. Nita is a loving, confident, and adaptable young dog who brings joy wherever she goes.

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.
