Boston Terrier and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Izzy- 22 lbs, Boston Terrier/Rat Terrier mix, 6 years old.
Izzy is a precious, sweet, low key little girl. Her owners had her since she was a newborn, but due to their own failing health, they were unable to continue caring for her. They were broken hearted to have to surrender her to a rescue, but they wanted to make sure she was safe and had a chance at finding another family to love her as much as they do. Izzy is totally house trained. She is only 6 years old, but the gray on her face makes her look older than she is. That is just her coloring, and she has always had the gray, even as a puppy. Izzy's owners took excellent care of her and made sure all of her vetting was kept up to date and she was spayed. We commend them for the care they provided her, and want to honor their wishes for her to find another loving family. Izzy is good with other dogs but was recently attacked by another larger dog, resulting in the injury to her nose that you see in her photos. It is healing well, but will probably always have a scar. Despite this attack, she is still friendly and sweet with other dogs. For her protection, she should be paired with another non aggressive dog that is similar in energy to her. She has short bursts of playfulness (she LOVES squeaky toys!), but is mostly interested in cuddling. Izzy's mom was a boston terrier and her dad was a rat terrier. She is a lovely little girl with a sweet, calm energy. She has been good with the young child in her foster home, but does get a little nervous when he's being rambunctious. She would be fine a home with kids as long as they are gentle with her and not super rowdy.

Izzy is located in Arkansas and can be adopted locally, or she can transport to the New England area if adopted there. If adopted in New England, his adopter will need to pick him up (or arrange for a trusted friend/family to pick him up) on a Saturday in PA, NY, or CT. Residents of other states may adopt as well, as long as they can meet our transporter along their route.
