Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Ringo was transferred to our shelter from the Creston Animal Shelter. Volunteers at Creston said this about him: Ringo is about 10 months old and is Rat Terrier mix. He is super friendly and playful. He weighs about 20 pounds. He does good with other dogs, is a `gentle` player and likes to play in the pool with another dog at the shelter. He's so fun! He's still learning not to jump up but is treat motivated. He's pretty clean in his kennel.

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.
