Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Worcester, Massachusetts

Gracie is a 10 years, 1 month old female Rat Terrier/Mix who weighs 31 pounds.

Gracie is a plucky, sweet Rat Terrier mix with a gentle heart. She came to the shelter when her family moved, and while it's been an adjustment, her loving personality is still shining through. In her previous home, Gracie was a champion cuddler who loved squeaky toys, romping with other dogs at the park, and even knew when it was time to tuck herself into bed.

Gracie is crate trained and very smart, but she can be shy when meeting new people and needs a little time to feel safe. Once she warms up, she's a loyal, affectionate companion. She'd do best in a home with teens or older who can respect her need for patience and understanding. With a little time and love, Gracie will make a wonderful, devoted addition to the right home.

If you are interested in adopting Gracie, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12-4 during out walk in hours. If you are unable to come to the shelter please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available by appointment.
