Rat Terrier and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Baptista

- 4-month-old, 11lb (as of 4/7)Terrier mix (we think… but who really knows!)
- Full-time puppy, part-time chaos coordinator

Baptista is everything you’d expect from a young puppy — energetic, playful, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of pup who keeps life interesting (and occasionally redecorates your home… whether you asked or not).

She loves toys, treats, cuddles, and playing with other dogs, and when she’s not busy zooming around, she’s happy to curl up and soak up affection. She’s sweet, social, and has that irresistible puppy charm that makes it hard to stay mad at her — even when she’s been a little creative.

Like any young puppy, Baptista is still learning the ropes. She's working on house trainings, and crate training, and will need a home committed to guiding her through all the basics. She also has a strong interest in chewing, and might pick up things she's not supposed to. Typical puppy behavior, but definitely something her future family should be ready to manage with structure, supervision, and plenty of appropriate outlets.

She already knows “sit” and is working on “paw,” and with her playful, engaged personality, she has great potential to learn and grow with consistent training.

Baptista would do best in a home that understands puppy life — one that can provide patience, routine, and lots of enrichment to help her become the best version of herself.

If you’re ready for a fun, lovable, slightly mischievous puppy who will keep you laughing and on your toes, Baptista might just be your girl
