Stilton (TN) - Rat Terrier Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

Stilton has his opinions about Life: People are good. Other dogs are good. Toys are good. Food is REALLY good. Squirrels, not so much. This contented 6-year-old has pretty much mastered the art of keeping a household running happily. Doorbells and the newcomers they announce are to be barked at, but just long enough to ensure that they notice his waggy little 11-lb. self so that they offer the necessary attention and pats. Other dogs are to be welcomed as companions, even when they hog the toys, dog beds, and laps. Boundaries are to be respected--like wastebaskets, tabletops, laundry, and pillows. Humans are to be responded to when they call... unless of course there has been a squirrel sighting. Walks are for fun, and dinner is for pure pleasure. The outdoors is for exploring but also for pottying (after a routine has been established and plentiful opportunities offered!). And bellies are definitely for rubbing. If you have a household that could use an infusion of personality and spunk, Stilton would like to apply for the position.
