Story
Debbie-Decker Terrier/Rat TerrierTri-colored female, ~3 yr. (May 2026) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application. Debbie came to rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. They said their life was too busy to have a dog and asked a Dog Trainer/Head of a Dog Prison Program to take Debbie in. She's been living as a foster dog with the Trainer for a couple weeks and has done very well with her large dogs. She's friendly, well behaved in the house. She's crate trained and a joy to have around. Said to be high energy, she'll make a great hiking of running partner. Debbie is about 35#, a nice medium size. This week she started the Training Program at the Prison and will be learning basic obedience and so much more! UPDATE from Rescue volunteers: We all adored this dog!! So friendly, out going and full of energy! Would be a great walking, running and hiking buddy so be ready to keep up! Debbie's adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Please include your location and a phone number for future communication. "The Decker Terrier is a remarkable and rare branch of the Rat Terrier family, admired for its size, versatility, and loyal temperament. Sometimes referred to as the “Decker Giant Rat Terrier,” this breed was developed in the 1970s by Milton Decker with the goal of creating a dog that was larger, athletic, and adaptable while still retaining the intelligence and loyalty of the traditional Rat Terrier. Today, the Decker Terrier is known as a loyal companion, excellent family dog, and versatile working partner — making it one of the most sought-after Rat Terrier variations."
