Velcro (AG26-27) - Rat Terrier Dog for Adoption in Peyton, Colorado

Velcro is an 8-year-old, 23-pound Rat Terrier who may be a little shy when you first meet her. She may need some time to warm up and feel comfortable in her new surroundings, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she is ready to show you her sweet personality.

Velcro does well around other dogs and may do best in a home with canine companions. Having another dog around may help her feel more comfortable as she settles into her new home.

Velcro is still learning her leash skills and is not yet fully comfortable navigating the world on leash. For her safety while she adjusts and continues building these skills, a secure, fenced-in yard is required.

A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to help ensure Velcro is a good match for her potential family and any resident dogs.

If you're looking for a sweet older girl who just needs a little time to settle in and would enjoy having a canine friend by her side, Velcro may be the perfect match!

Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.
