Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Online Adoption Application › Hello, I'm Cira [CHEE-rah], which is Italian for "sun/light." My puppies are getting bigger, and soon they'll grow up and I'll be ready for my forever home. Here's what I'm looking for: *Someone to hold me *Someone who makes me feel safe *Someone who plays with me *Someone to take me on walks *Someone who has the good treats! I'm ok with other dogs, but need a little time to warm up. I'm more interested in snuggling with you. I'm very sweet and I will remind you to keep petting me if you forget for a moment. I'm a little talkative when it comes to mealtimes and wanting to be picked up, but I'm quiet most of the time. I'm happy to sleep in my fluffy dog bed. *My Backstory* I was found in someone's backyard with a litter of older puppies. My finder found homes for them, and took me to get spayed, but surprise, I was already pregnant again! So here I am! Pawfect took me in and gave me a safe place to raise these babies. I love my babies, but I'm only 2 years old, so I'm excited about what life has for me next. Could you be the next part of my story? *My weight will likely go down when I'm done nursing

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.
