Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Missy 💕
Tiny body, BIG personality… and just wait for those zoomies 🐾

Missy is a 4-month-old Rat Terrier mix (DOB: 11/13/25) weighing about 18 lbs, and she is everything you love about a puppy—spunky, curious, and completely full of life. Found exploring 40 acres of woods on her own, this little adventurer has proven she’s brave… but at the end of the day, she just wants her people 💛

✨ The fun stuff:
🐾 Dog-friendly
🐾 Cat-friendly (but may sneak a peek at the litter box 😅)
🐾 Good with kids (with guidance)
🐾 Crate trained when left alone
🐾 Knows sit, stay & down
🐾 LOVES toys, zoomies & being outside

Missy is vocal, expressive, and will absolutely make you laugh daily. She’s still a baby, which means she’s working on house training and learning the ropes of the world—so patience, structure, and consistency are key.

She’s building confidence on leash and just needs someone willing to guide her and show her the way. She thrives on attention and would love a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods.

Missy is looking for a family who understands puppy energy and is ready to put in the time to help her grow into an amazing, well-rounded dog. With the right guidance, she is going to be something really special ✨
