Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Have room in your heart and home for spry, senior, Rat Terrier girl? Well, here's your chance. . . I'm Irene, a smart, easy-going, 15-year-young, perfect companion, who's as spry as they come.

I weigh just 15 pounds, and I love to be with my person, I'm just not your typical, clingy lap dog. I'm perfectly happy to just be near you. My eyesight is great, my hearing, not so much. That doesn't keep me from enjoying life to the fullest!

My perfect forever home can be in a house setting, with or without a fenced yard, or an apartment. If there are a lot of stairs, I'd appreciate just a little assistance. I'm house trained, of course, and a dream on my leash. I don't need a kennel.

I'm fine with other laidback dogs, and even cats. I'd prefer a less active home, where we can just enjoy time together. . . leisurely walks, short explorations, and just hanging out.

If I sound like your kinda girl, just complete the app so we can meet:

*Remember, dogs are pack animals. Because of this, Rescue One does not adopt to outdoor-only homes. Pets are family and are not disposable. Please make sure that you are 100% committed to a pet before considering adding one to your home.
