Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Longview, Texas

Tiny Body. Giant Heart. Professional Best Friend.

Jodi is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix, weighing in at about 20 lbs of pure sweetness, softness, and “please love me forever” energy.

This girl is the definition of easy love. She doesn’t need a whole warm-up routine or a dramatic introduction—she meets you, gives you those big, soulful eyes, and just… decides you’re hers. And honestly? You’ll feel the same way.

Jodi LOVES everyone. People, dogs, cats—you name it, she’s already on board. She’s the kind of dog who fits into a home like she’s been there the whole time. No chaos, no attitude, just a gentle, happy presence that makes everything feel a little softer.

Her vibe?
• curl up next to you and exist peacefully
• follow you from room to room like your tiny shadow
• accept affection like it’s her full-time job
• quietly be the sweetest girl in the world

She’s got that classic Rat Terrier charm—alert, loving, and so tuned into her people—but with this extra layer of calm, affectionate energy that makes her incredibly easy to live with.

Jodi would do beautifully in so many homes. Whether you already have pets or she’s your one and only, she just wants love, consistency, and a cozy spot to land.

And once she’s yours? She’s yours.

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 — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued.

Once we receive your application, our team will review it and reach out to set up an interview with one of our volunteers.
