Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi! My name is Geo, I am 2-3 years old. My foster mom says I am a complete angel. I had a hard start to life, too long to go into details. I was hit by a car about a month ago and broke my tail! Luckily, I was taken to the vet, they helped me feel better. Now I am living in a foster home with 3 furry dog siblings that I love to play with. I have trust issues due to my checkered past; however, you can win my heart over by giving me lots of snacks!! After a short few hours in my foster home, I quickly learned that people are nice. After 1 day, I learned to jump in my foster mom's lap and let her pick me up. Now she tells me that I am her shadow! I follow her everywhere, even to the bathroom! I weigh about 13 lbs, I am the size of a big Chihuahua, but I look a little like a pittie mix. I am the cutest!! I have the cutest freckles inside my big ears, and my tail is curvy from my injury. I like to talk to my foster siblings when we play. Playing outside is my favorite. I sleep all night in my crate, and I am almost house trained. I will prance around the room to let you know I need to potty, but if you don't let me out, I might have an accident inside. I am looking for a new family that will have patience to let me trust and love. It won't take long for me to love you back, you just need to have a pocket full of snacks! Apply at bcaaofnj.org
