Here's what the humans have to say about me:
You may wonder why we are listing Templeton. He is an old boy. Has medical issues. His little pischcadiel sticks out all the time. But, he is a love bug. He eats like a puppy. He can still wag his tail when he is happy and sees his favorite person. Templeton is a senior rat terrier that got another year or so of life. He was found as a stray and picked up by Miami Dade Animal Services. He was gonna be euthanized too soon because of overcrowding. PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER. We took him to the vet for a check up and yes, he has some things going on, but we fell that he is pain free and wants to live life the Templeton way. He sleeps a lot. Loves his crate. Likes a short daily walk. Eats three to four times a day. Cries out when he is hungry or wants attention. Templeton is a quirky little dog that needs someone to give him a little love and then hold his paw when it is time to say goodbye. Email us if you think you are the person to do this for him. adopt@thisisthedog.com
