Meet Speedy Petey Pooter Gonzalez. We just call him Petey for short. And although his legs are short, he is not short on speed and agility. He is a 2-year old Rat Terrier who weighs in at a lean 12 lbs. Petey is current on all of his vetting needs and has been neutered. He is adorable, smart, feisty, and fun. He walks beautifully on a leash and is crate trained. He gets along with other dogs, small and large, and thinks the giant tom cat of the house is great. He does pose one challenge: he is deaf. It doesn't slow him down one bit, though. We have worked on a few simple doggie-language signs. And having another dog or two around is very helpful visually for him. Petey's adoption fee is $125. For inquiries, contact Jennifer with Garland Pawsibilities at 972-964-4806 or jjeaches@aol.com.

Sweet Sissy came to us through a high kill animal shelter that contacted us and said, "This is such a good girl. Can you help her?" She had been turned in because her family was moving and could not take her with them. We immediately agreed to take her - and have not regretted it! This senior gal is approximately 9 years old and is a great dog. She is a lap lover, enjoys the company of other dogs, will tolerate cats, and has a loving, laid-back attitude. Sissy weighs 23 lbs. She is spayed, up-to-date on her routine vaccinations, heartworm testing, and heartworm and flea preventative. In short, Sissy is nearly perfect and she deserves to live the rest of her life in a comfy home with a family that loves her. You can adopt Sissy for the fee of $80. Please log on to www.odtr.org and fill out an application. One Dog at a Time Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

Izabella aka: Bella is a 5 1/2 year old Rat Terrier whose owner unfortunately passed away. She is already spayed and has all of her shots. Izabella is a little shy at first, but warms up to you in no time. Izabella is a little more social than Lakota, her daughter. Very playful and loyal and bond quickly. They love to go for car rides in their crates. Izabella has a tendency to be very sweet and motherly towards her daugther Lakota. Izabella loves to be in your lap and loves any kind of attention (who wouldn't?!?). Both dogs are good around teenagers, but not sure about younger children.
Lakota is a 3 year old Rat Terrier and the daughter to Izabella. She is also already spayed and has all of her shots. Lakota also is a little more shy than Izabella at first but, will warm up to you also in no time as well. She is more of a follower than a leader. She is incredibly sweet just like her mama and loves to be in your lap and enjoy car rides as well. It would ideal of course if both Izabella and Lakota could be adopted together but, not an absolute requirement.
