Hello there, I’m Terry. A handsome little Rat Terrier mix, about 3 years old and 11.8 pounds. I was seen at the border of Mexico just hanging around a business all by myself, so when I was spotted again later that day, sleeping on a pile of rocks, and locals said I had no owner, I was smuggled across and am now living in a foster home in Von Ormy, Texas. I totally hit the lottery that day, now loved and cared for, well-fed, clean and happy, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready for one more adventure to find a forever home!
My foster mom says I am a people dog and a ladies' man, meaning that I prefer ladies over men, and although I get along great with other dogs, I’m not playful with them. I can be a bit shy around men at first, but a gentle and patient man who will sit with me while I get comfortable would be A-okay. Otherwise, I am a very friendly little dog who would make an excellent lapdog. I am affectionate and will gaze at you with love-filled puppy eyes like you are my entire world, and although my foster mom will smother me with kisses, I don't give them in return. I only want to be near you… following you around the house, snuggling on the sofa, going for a walk to the park, or riding beside you on a road trip, while wearing my doggy seatbelt to keep me in the seat, otherwise I would be in your lap. When left home alone, I enjoy sitting on a pillow on a little bench, so I can watch the world go by outside the window. I will cry when put in a crate, but will eventually settle down. I am allowed to be free-range in my foster home since I am well-behaved, housebroken, and only bark when I need to alert you. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
