All About Ratties

The Rat Terrier is an American breed that originated from a mixture of crosses by early immigrants of this country using old time Fox Terriers and other European Terriers common in the 19th century; Click for more about Rat Terriers

Kensey

Kensey is a beautiful, 9-month-old pup who weighs 11 lbs. In her former life, she suffered from abuse, as someone twisted her front leg severely enough to break both bones. But she has had wonderful vet care, with surgery to repair the damage, and her spirits are very high. She is housetrained and also crate trained; however, having spent two months largely confined to the crate during her recuperation from her injury, she does not like the crate. She gets along well with some of the dogs in her foster home, but not with others, and she is not at all fond of the cat. Because of her past life, Kensey needs a home without children. She has a sassy terrier personality and will a need a home with an experienced terrier person who appreciates a little spice in a dog. With proper love and training, Kensey will grow up to be a wonderful adult dog.

Gabriel

Are you looking for a dog that is more of a pal than a pet? One with a big personality that never leaves you bored? Who is always ready to join in whatever you feel like doing? Well, you've found him! This is Gabriel, an athletic 20-lb. fellow who is about 5 years old. Gabriel loves to chase squirrels, go on walks, and play tug-of-war. But his absolute most favorite thing is catching a tennis ball. He can be quite obsessive about it, and will bring the ball to you time after time then sit in front of you, looking into your face and pleading with his eyes for you to throw it again. Although his energy level is high when "his switch" is turned on (mostly in the evenings when his foster dad gets home from work), Gabriel is actually usually quite mellow during the day, and will nap quietly on the couch while his foster mom works on the computer or entertain himself with a puzzle toy. He is crate trained and will run right into his crate for a treat, but his house manners are very good so over the past several months he has not been crated at all
