Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (medium coat). Hi, my name is Emmy! I'm a sweet senior lady looking for my perfect retirement home. I enjoy the quieter side of life and would love a calm, loving family to spend my golden years with. Because I can be a little sensitive when being handled, I'd do best in a home without young children who can respect my space. I'd also prefer to be the only dog in the home so I can soak up all the love and attention for myself. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share cozy days and lots of love, I just might be the perfect match!

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.
