Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Soft, Sweet, and Full of Puppy Wonder

Briar is pure puppy magic — gentle, curious, and absolutely heart-melting.

Approximately 5 weeks old, Briar is a Rat Terrier mix who is just beginning to explore the world around her. With her soft expression and bright eyes, she has a calm sweetness about her that draws people in immediately. She’s still very young, but already shows a beautiful balance of curiosity and tenderness.

Briar is playful in that classic puppy way — wiggly, inquisitive, and eager to engage — but she also has a softer side and enjoys being held, cuddled, and comforted. She’s the kind of puppy who seems to soak everything in, learning as she goes and trusting the people around her.

Because of her age, Briar will need a committed adopter who understands what raising a young puppy truly involves. She’ll need patience, consistency, training, and lots of love as she grows. In return, you’ll get the incredible experience of watching her develop, gain confidence, and blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion.

Briar will be ready for her forever home soon, and we are accepting applications now for adopters who are prepared for all the joys (and responsibilities!) that come with puppyhood.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle pup to grow up alongside you — Briar may be the one you’ve been waiting for.

The Truth About Rescue:

Every rescue pup is a work in progress — and that’s the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again.

Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — playful, confident, and loved. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued.

Once we have received your application, we will review it and reach out to set up an interview with one of our volunteers. If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsInquiries@gmail.com

Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
