Description

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Buzz is a 3-year-old, 25-lb purebred rat terrier looking for a quiet home where he can relax and thrive. He's an affectionate, playful guy who loves fetch, frisbees, walks, chew toys, and sneaking the occasional snack. Buzz is house-trained, crate-trained, walks nicely on leash, and gets along well with cats. Buzz can be wary of strangers and is very protective of his home and family. The busy activity and frequent visitors at his current home have proven overwhelming for him, so his family believes he would be happiest in a calm, stable home with a predictable routine and fewer visitors coming and going. Buzz would do best in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children. He may be cautious when meeting new people and appreciates a little time and space to get comfortable. Once he has the opportunity to settle in, his sweet, loyal personality begins to shine through (and a few tasty treats can certainly help speed up the process)! Buzz has lived with other dogs and attended dog-friendly events. He may do well with a calm, easygoing female dog but would likely prefer not to share his home with another assertive male. He enjoys canine companionship when the match is right and would benefit from thoughtful introductions. With the people he trusts, Buzz is affectionate, fun-loving, and devoted. Whether he's chasing a frisbee, joining you for a walk, or curling up at the end of the day, he's happiest being close to his favorite people. If you're looking for a loyal companion and can provide the calm environment he needs, Buzz may be your perfect match.

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.
