This pet is in a foster home. Please call to schedule an appointment.

Meet Chopper!

Chopper is a young male Rat Terrier with a low energy level and a gentle, sensitive personality. He does well with dogs and cats and feels most comfortable when he has calm animal companions around him.

Chopper is shy and nervous, especially in new environments. He needs a patient, understanding home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace. With kindness, reassurance, and a consistent routine, he begins to show his sweet and loyal nature. Because he is still young, he continues to build confidence and will benefit from positive reinforcement training and gradual social experiences to help him feel secure.

He would thrive in a quiet household where small steps forward are celebrated and where he can develop trust without pressure. Chopper is looking for someone who sees the beauty in a sensitive soul and is ready to help him blossom.

Excited to find your new family member at Wags and Whiskers? Our pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. Many come from unknown backgrounds, so please consider the 10+ year commitment.
