Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hi! I'm Luann, but everyone calls me "Lu." I'm a happy, playful, and snuggly love bug looking for my forever family.

I like to stay busy with walks, playing tug and fetch, wrestling, and stalking lizards and bugs in the backyard. I also enjoy going to doggy daycare and working on my training. After a long day, my favorite thing to do is tuck myself into my blankie on my foster mom's lap.

I'm very smart and learn commands quickly. I already know "sit," "down," "touch," "place," "crate," "come," and even some agility commands. I really love learning new things! While I can be a little shy around new people and dogs, I warm up quickly with calm introductions, time, and treats. I haven't been around cats or children yet, so I'm not sure how I'd feel about them.

I would love to find an active home where I can get lots of pets and cuddles.
