Rat Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Wharton, Texas

Everyone, meet Roger! This little peanut is adorable. He's so darn cute with an equally adorable personality. He'll just melt your heart with his shy-at-first disposition, but he warms up quickly, rolling on his back for belly rubs and asking for more pets. He’s alert, inquisitive and affectionate. He does great with the other dogs of his size in our play yard, and we've noticed he's more of a follower than a leader. When we rescued Roger, he was severely neglected and starved. We took him in and gave him all the TLC he required to blossom into the beautiful boy he is today. He is now ready for his forever home! Roger would thrive in a loving home who will keep him under their wing to provide the love and haven that all the comforts of a nurturing home would provide. Roger loves to go for walks, so a home that can commit to taking him on daily walks would make him so happy! Roger is neutered, up to date with vaccinations and microchipped. His current weight is around 14 lbs. and he’s estimated to have been born around January 2022.

Please note, if you’re not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Roger, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you’d be making in a life of a dog that needs you.
