Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Smidgen
Breed: Rat Terrier mix
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Female
Smidgen is a young adult female Rat Terrier mix, about 15 pounds, who was absolutely terrified when her owner left at a busy, noisy impound. She hid in the corner, shook, and showed her teeth to anyone who came close. A dedicated foster got a leash on her, brought her home, and she has completely done a 180. Smidgen leaps on your legs for attention, loves to curl in your lap, enjoys walks, and is thriving in a loving home. She is still insecure about who to trust and shy at first, so does need an adult/older kid home who has patience to love her and help her build confidence. Her house training is going well and she is crated for the workday. Smidgen is fostered in KY until May 21st when she arrives in MN.
Requirements: Adult/older child home
You can email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions and for a preadopt application. This dog has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated as age appropriate, tested for heartworm disease if age appropriate, and dewormed.
