Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (medium coat). Bucky was found as a stray at Helping Hands and, although he had a microchip, his previous owner didnât want him back.

This little cutie has the sweetest and most gentle nature! Heâs easy to handle too. Heâs great on leash and already knows how to sit on command. Buckyâs favorite thing ever is simply to be loved on. Heâs hoping to become someoneâs beloved lap dog! If youâre sitting down and he thinkâs youâll let him, heâll hop right on up to sit with you. He loves pets and affection, but he's also perfectly happy entertaining himself when you're busy. With his low energy, calm personality, he's the kind of dog who's happy to enjoy life's simple moments.

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.
