Story
Meatloaf is a 4.5 year old male rat terrier who doesnt have a mean bone in his body, though as with many rat terriers he is prey driven and will keep your yard vermin free.Meatloaf has an older brother who bullies him and it has started to take his toll.on Meatloaf who is a more docile, submissive soul, and has become more anxious and stressed. When he stayed with a friend with 2 other dogs he was so happy and confident there that he cried when he returned home.I realized that in our home environment he is getting robbed of his best dog years. He displayed a happy confidence while away that he doesnt have here. He loves his person, loves other dogs, loves walks and excersise and I truly want to upgrade his life at this point. We have tried many other things with the other dog including a behaviorist and anti anxiety meds to little avail amd of the 2 Meatloaf has the chance to have a great life with another family. I am looking for the best, not fastest home for him.

They had an wonderful human whos life was taken by a family member. We don't know what Casey and Rango experienced but we saw the heartbreak in their sad eyes. Thankfully a lovely woman who was friends with their human immediately went and picked them up. Within a few weeks they started to perk back up almost knowing they would be cared for and loved again. Rango is not bonded to Casey but they have lived together so many years, we are praying they can be adopted together. Rango has a history of seizures. The seizures are not severe or often enough to be on medication. He remains mobile, stable, and does not loose bowel movements during these episodes. We are continuing to monitor and if meds are needed , even after adoption, CCRT will get these meds started at our cost. Rango loves cuddling beside his human and napping. He is gentle and friendly and will make a great family member to almost any household
