Gizmo is a 5 year old rat terrier who is very sweet and energetic. She loves her walks and playing in the backyard. Sadly we need to find a new home for her because she is too aggressive with our 2 year old son and with another baby on the way it’s going to be hard to keep them separate.

Story

Hi there, my name is Ivy, and I am a pretty little 5.5-year-old, 10 lb “special needs” Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix, but far more special than needy, I think! I am a distemper survivor left with a “wobble” (mild myoclonus), and I also have congestive heart failure, so I take 3 medications twice a day for the rest of my life. I started my journey in Houston, Texas, and stowed away with a group of dogs from a hoarder's home heading to San Antonio for fostering through 4 Little Paws Rescue. I suppose I wasn't wanted by whoever put me on board, so I’m grateful for a better opportunity to find a nice forever home! I am a happy little lady with an easy vibe, and friendly with everyone… strangers, kids, dogs, you name it. I’m a cool combination of independent, affectionate, doting, and chilaxed, and I enjoy snuggling with my people, although I’m just as content being under a blanket in my doggy bed. Sometimes I’m curious and like to explore, sometimes I enjoy a dog chewbone, and I always enjoy a yummy doggy treat; otherwise, I’m not into dog toys, and can easily entertain myself. I am well-behaved in a home, already housebroken, and only bark if I need to alert you, so my foster mom lets me roam freely when I’m home alone. At bedtime, I sleep in my dog bed under a blanket (that must be the Chihuahua in me, always loving being under a blanket, LOL). So that's everything. I’m easy-peasy, no trouble at all, and I’m adorable, and deserving of a wonderful, happy, loving life! I hope you 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.

Marilyn

Rat Terrier Corgi

New York, NY

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Marilyn, a charming 5-year-old, 13-pound female Rat Terrier, Corgi, and Chihuahua mix, is the epitome of a loyal companion and a true cuddle bug. Despite her journey from San Diego to NYC, she's beautifully adapted to city life, proving her resilience and calm demeanor. Her captivating light brown eyes are a window to her heart, remaining steadfastly trained on her chosen human, a testament to her deep affection. This loving girl thrives on connection. When she's with her people, physical touch is a must – she simply has to be touching you, showcasing her desire for closeness. Marilyn is incredibly food-motivated, making training a joy; she's mastered "sit" with enthusiasm, always eager for a tasty reward. She's also a model leash-walker and appears to be reliably house-trained, making her a wonderful addition to any home. While she prefers companionship, she settles quickly when her human leaves and would flourish in a home with another adult dog, as the presence of a canine friend beautifully soothes her mild solo separation anxiety. Marilyn's sweet nature extends to her charming quirks, like the mandatory "belly rub tax" required when leashing up or cleaning her paws – a small price to pay for such unconditional love. She's a dog who brings immense warmth and devotion to her home. View Marilyn in action Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, lepto, and bordetella. Spayed, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Marilyn, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2286388##

Story

Hi! I’m Callie, a 2-year-old Rat Terrier/Mountain Cur mix (DNA verified!). I’m spunky, goofy, and full of personality. I love being held like a baby, sleeping with stuffed animals, and flipping my food bowl just to see where the food went! I do have some behavioral challenges. I lunge at people, dogs, and trucks, pull hard on the leash, and bark at noises, squirrels, and knocks on the door. I’m men-selective due to past trauma and not a good match for hyper dogs, cats, or small animals. I’m very prey-driven and reactive at a distance but warm up with time. My mom has tried training me but cannot afford a behavioralist. Her health is declining, and my behavior stresses her. I play well with my dog sister, but she’s a service dog staying with mom. I need a new home with someone patient and committed to helping me thrive. In return, I bring tons of love, loyalty, and laughs.
