Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Meet Nova! Nova is a beautiful 10-month-old rat terrier weighing about 14 lbs. She has a sweet, gentle heart and is just waiting for the right family to help her blossom into the amazing companion she's meant to be. Nova can be timid in new situations, but with patience, kindness, and encouragement, her confidence grows every day. She's looking for an adopter without young children who understands that building trust takes time and is willing to continue her training using positive reinforcement. The reward will be a loyal, loving little dog who will be devoted to her family. Nova absolutely loves other dogs! She gets along wonderfully with canine companions and would thrive in a home with a playful dog close to her size and age—or even an older dog that still enjoys a good game of chase. Having a confident canine friend will help Nova continue learning that the world is a fun and safe place. Nova is already about 90% house-trained. She knows to go to the door when she needs to go outside, and because she's incredibly smart, we're confident she could easily learn to use a doggy door with just a little guidance. Nova is young, eager to learn, and has so much love to give. She's looking for a local family that can meet her before adoption and recognize the incredible rattie waiting to shine. If you're willing to invest a little patience and a lot of love, Nova will reward you with years of loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love. Could you be the one to help Nova discover just how wonderful life can be?

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.
