Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Meatloaf is a 4.5 year old male rat terrier who doesnt have a mean bone in his body, though as with many rat terriers he is prey driven and will keep your yard vermin free.Meatloaf has an older brother who bullies him and it has started to take his toll.on Meatloaf who is a more docile, submissive soul, and has become more anxious and stressed. When he stayed with a friend with 2 other dogs he was so happy and confident there that he cried when he returned home.I realized that in our home environment he is getting robbed of his best dog years. He displayed a happy confidence while away that he doesnt have here. He loves his person, loves other dogs, loves walks and excersise and I truly want to upgrade his life at this point. We have tried many other things with the other dog including a behaviorist and anti anxiety meds to little avail amd of the 2 Meatloaf has the chance to have a great life with another family. I am looking for the best, not fastest home for him.
