Smitty - Rat Terrier Dog for Adoption in Bradenton, Florida

Smitty is a one-year-old, 12-pound Rat Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a deep appreciation for human attention. We suspect he didnt get much affection in his previous life because now he cant get enough of being held, petted, scratched, and talked to. If youre looking for a devoted little companion, Smitty is ready to fill that role.

Smitty gets along great with other dogs and peacefully ignores the cat. Hes a quiet boy who rarely barks, sleeps nicely in his crate, eats well, and is happy entertaining himself with toys when youre busy. He responds well to gentle guidance and is making great progress with both house training and leash walking as he learns what life as a beloved family member is all about.

One thing to know about Smitty: hes curious and quick, so youll want to keep an eye on doors because he enjoys trying to sneak out behind you!

Smitty is looking for a family that will provide the love, leadership, good nutrition, and regular veterinary care that every dog deserves. In return, hell offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of affection.

Could you be the lucky person to give Smitty the forever home hes been waiting for?
