Details

Story
Sammy (9 yrs, 13 lbs) is a sweet companion who will thrive in a quiet home with outdoor space and no children. We are moving internationally in June and sadly won't be able to bring her along. Sammy does well with other dogs in the home; she grew up around an older dog, and frequently stays with family who have a dog. Sammy is very smart, trainable, loves to play, and enjoys walks. On a nice day, she likes to spend hours out in the yard. She is currently on daily medication support to manage anxiety, which has helped minimize barking, reactivity to sudden noises, and general stress. On a day-to-day basis she is happy and engaged, but vet visits and stressful situations may require support (e.g. extra anxiety medication). Sammy completed a reward-based behavior modification package with Plucky Paws at our home and did very well. She made a lot of progress in her uneasiness with strangers by using training games and her food guarding was reduced by using enrichment feeding at mealtimes.

Poncho

Rat Terrier

Male, Senior
Waterloo, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Poncho is a sweet, loyal guy who loves to cuddle up on the couch and take short walks. He is an older rat terrier. At his last check up, the vet found that he has a heart murmur (common in smaller, older dogs) and he is on medication for that. He is also on a low dose pain killer to help with those occasional aches and pains that come with age. He walks great on a leash, responds to his name, and sits on command. He is currently learning 'stay.' Poncho is very affectionate and always wants to be beside his person. He loves tomatoes and bananas! Poncho does okay with other dogs but does tend to be possessive over food and toys. He has made a lot of progress with this over time. He reacts well to our 2 cats but does need a slow introduction. He is 26 pounds.

Sandy

Rat Terrier

Female, Young
Urbandale, IA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She has lived happily with young children (ages 3–4) the neighborhood kids 6-8 and is gentle, patient, and unfazed by kid snuggles. Sandy is house-trained, comes when you call her name, and is wonderfully polite when taking food. Treats don’t really impress her—she’s more about love, comfort, and being near her people. Allows people to use her as a pillow . Sandy can be timid at first, but once she trusts you, she can’t swim. And is scared of kennels.
