Sadie

Rat Terrier

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Sadie from a shelter litter at 8 weeks old and have had her for the last 11 years where she has always had her dog sister in the house. While she usually gets on fine with her sister and generally has patience for children (we have 2 young girls), she does has had several episodes of getting jealous over food or when in tight spaces (like riding on car trips) or when staying in other dogs' homes. She is definitely a dog that prefers her bubble where she can either roam outside and sniff out things or inside in her designated bed/spot. We are looking to rehome because we know that in the right situation where she is the sole dog or has space to go if she is getting nervous about something, she is a very loving animal who loves to greet you when you come home, clean up under the table after the kiddos, and hang out on mornings outside. She is used to regular exercise each day but we've had to keep her inside during our work days since moving to Cincinnati.

Story

I’m rehoming Harper because I’m not sure if I’ll have a home myself soon and I would like for her to be safe. She’s a sweet dog and she loves people. She loves toys, will sleep in a dog bed but prefers to sleep with a person. She’s claustrophobic and gets nervous is she can’t see you. She loves car rides and meeting new people but she doesn’t car for crowds or excessively loud areas. She has an issue with people clipping her nails but with some coaxing it can be done. I would like someone with an abundance of patience to take her in and treat her like family.
