Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Hi, my name is Sis and I'm almost 6 years old. I was surrendered to Bond County Humane Society by my owner. My family had too many dogs and could not afford all of us. I am friendly and sociable. I will come up to you and look for some petting and love. In my previous home I lived with 2 adult humans, 4 children ranging in age from 4 to 13, 5 other dogs and a cat. Believe it or not we all got along great. There are those occasions when one of the dogs liked to put my head in her mouth, but I didn't even complain. I just gave her a look and walked away. I am well behaved in every way. I didn't have a fenced yard, but I didn't wander off. I would go outside to potty and come right back. My family said my best qualities are I am chilled and just like to hang out. I do have a favorite blanket that I will make into a tunnel and climb inside. You can't even see me. I am house trained. I am available for immediate adoption. I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped. My adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at .bondcohumane. Email the completed profile to the address provided. A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

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.
