Hi, I'm Dodge, an almost 3monthold Rat Terrier blend weighing just 2 pounds. I may share my name with a car brand, but I'm powered by puppy energy, not horsepower. I'm a cheerful little guy who loves discovering new things and making the most of every day. I'm still young, so I have plenty to learn, but I'm off to a wonderful start.

Training and Manners: Dodge is still a young puppy, so he has plenty left to learn. He isn't house trained yet and will need consistency as he develops good habits. Leash walking is also new to him, but he's eager to discover the world around him. With patience and positive guidance, he should progress beautifully.

Health and Care: Dodge is a healthy boy and is up to date on his puppy vaccines. He will need a local adopter committed to bringing him to his remaining vaccine appointments, microchip and neuter, which are covered by his adoption fee. He will also need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. Dodge's grooming needs are simple and include baths and regular nail trims.

Other Animals: Dodge has experience with small dogs and enjoys having canine companions around. He hasn't been tested with cats, but his gentle nature suggests he may adapt well with proper introductions.

Overall: Dodge is a sweet puppy with a bright outlook and plenty of charm. He's affectionate, adaptable, and ready to grow alongside a family of his own.
