Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier. Luna is an active 9 year old Rat Terrier in good health. She was rescued from a shelter in May of this year & I was asked to take 2 dogs because they came in together but were NOT bonded---as the shelter had told me. Neither of them was dog or people socialized which I also did not know. Both have gone through extensive training & are not living together anymore. Luna loves to be outside & loves to chase a ball just run & explore but she could not do that at my house because my community does not allow fenced yards. She is currently living at a Board & Train in Salinas. Her trainer also runs a farm & Luna has been fine with the other animals She is very affectionate with women but is wary of men until she gets to know them. She is not good with cats or children. She loves to go for walks & hikes. She is a terrier & will react to small animals wanting to chase them if possible but she responds immediately to her name when corrected. Luna has done VERY well with her training & her trainer would be happy to speak with any potential adopter. She is very smart & knows several commands. Her previous home must have spoken Spanish because she understands commands in Spanish. She gets along with other dogs but would prefer to have her own 'person'. We are helping Luna's current guardian to rehome her. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with her current guardian.

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.
