Rat Terrier puppies and dogs in Vancouver, Washington

Xander is loving, and loyal, the very best cuddler! He loves treats and learning new things. As a middle aged dog he sleeps most of the day and is content with a short daily walk and play session. An ideal home for him is one that wants to invest in his training, and has a person who is able to be home with him most of the day. Sadly, I am not around enough to meet his needs.A couple important things to know about him are that he has Addison’s Disease which requires daily medication (easily given with breakfast), a monthly injection, and twice per year labs. Additionally, he is afraid of strangers and other dogs which must be understood and managed through environmental structure and training. Whatever inconvenience his needs represent he pays back in double portion of love, he bonds deeply and loves unconditionally. He is an attentive companion, ready to match your mood. He'll entertain you with hilarious antics or curl up with you and your book depending on the demands of the day.

Malekai is a unique little guy with a beautiful colored birthmark in his eye. Vets assured me that it is a birthmark as he has good vision at his age. He loves to play fetch. Can be high energy but will also have down time. He loves to cuddle and loves pets. He has allergies. Kai had parvo as a puppy but is now well just he is an allergy pup. Has very sensitive skin. He is 8yrs old now and I just don’t have the means to take care of him. As I’m dealing with a lot of health issues. I adopted him when he was only a few months old from the humane society in San Antonio Texas. Malekai is potty trained and as much as I would hate to give him up for adoption. But I understand I can’t meet his needs. I just want him to be well taken care of in a loving home.

Louie’s legs are as long as his hopes for lap-dog life are high! Estimated to be around 9 months old and 23 lbs, this leggy little black-and-white cutie boy appears to be a Rat Terrier/ Jack Russell mix but of course, with rescue dogs that is simply our best educated guess. His adorable spotted coat, impossibly expressive face, and ears that somehow manage to stand up in perfect little triangles while still flopping around when he runs make him look like he walked straight out of a children's storybook. Add in his joyful personality, and you've got a dog that's very easy to fall for. Go watch Louie Longlegs on YouTube, then come right back to read more. His video is the perfect introduction to his playful spirit, sweet nature, and the delightful charm that follows him wherever those long legs take him. https://youtu.be/da0e4WC6yRE Louie is being lovingly fostered in a home with other dogs, where he has proven himself to be a wonderful little companion. He loves having dog friends to play with, happily shares toys, enjoys splashing around in the water, and approaches life with the kind of happy curiosity that makes every day a little more entertaining. He can be a touch shy when meeting someone new, but don't expect that stage to last long. A little sweet talk and a yummy treat leads to a belly rub request and suddenly you're one of his favorite people. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines. He loves giving kisses and firmly believes that those wonderfully long legs qualify him for full-time lap dog privileges. Louie has lived with children before and has done beautifully. He is gentle taking treats, enjoys being part of the family, and has the kind of playful personality that fits naturally into an active, fun-loving household. Whether the kids are tossing toys in the yard or everyone is relaxing together after dinner, Louie is happy simply being there. He's also a great little road trip companion. He rides well in the car and is always ready to see where the day leads. He's the kind of dog who seems to find fun wherever he goes. Because Louie is still a young dog, he is continuing to polish his leash skills. He already has the basics down and is eager to learn, so with a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll continue growing into a wonderfully well-mannered companion. Louies love of the sprinklers and rolling in the grass would be perfectly happy living house with a yard life and because he can occasionally bark to let you know someone is at the door or he heard something, Louie is not for apartment life. It isn't constant or excessive, but shared walls probably wouldn't appreciate his enthusiasm for neighborhood updates. If you're looking for a cheerful little sidekick with a playful heart, an affectionate nature, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day, Louie is ready and waiting for you! If you think Louie Longlegs might be your perfect match, we'd love to hear from you.

Some dogs hand out their trust freely. Honeybear believes the best relationships are built one kind interaction at a time! She may take a little while to decide you're one of her people, but once she does, you'll have a loyal little companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side! Go watch Honeybear's Sweet Little Smile in action on YouTube, then come right back to read more! You'll see a gentle little girl who blossoms with patience, quietly seeking out affection, climbing into laps, and showing off the sweet kisses that have become her signature way of saying, "I trust you." Estimated to have been born around May 17, 2021, Honeybear is approximately 5 years old, weighs around 9.6 lbs and appears to be a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, though as with all rescue dogs, her breed and age are simply our best educated guess. She has a beautiful tan coat with soft cream accents, expressive buggy eyes, and once she's comfortable, an adorable smile that's guaranteed to brighten your day. Honeybear is scheduled to be spayed on August 8th before heading home with her forever family! Honeybear has been settling into foster care beautifully. While she can be a little reserved when meeting new people, she continues to gain confidence every day. Gentle introductions, patience, and a handful of treats are the quickest way to win her over. She does warm up quicker to women than with men. With time and patience, she’ll be snuggled up right next to you. Once she knows she's safe, her affectionate personality shines. And when Honeybear loves you, she really loves you! She's a true lap dog who would happily spend hours curled up beside her favorite person. She sleeps in bed with her foster family each night, follows her people from room to room during the day, and has a sweet habit of showing affection with gentle little kisses. She isn't loud or demanding—she simply loves being close to the people who make her feel safe. Food is definitely the way to Honeybear's heart. She happily accepts treats, already knows "sit," and enjoys spending time outside once she's comfortable. She also rides well in the car, making her an easy little companion for errands or adventures. Honeybear currently lives with several other dogs and has done wonderfully after taking a little time to settle in. Today, she happily plays with them, relaxes alongside them, and enjoys having canine companions around. In fact, another friendly dog may even help her continue building confidence, as she can experience a little separation anxiety when left alone and seems comforted by having both her people and other dogs nearby. She also met one of our calm, dog-friendly cats and handled the introduction beautifully. Honeybear voluntarily walked over, offered a polite sniff, and calmly moved on. Based on that interaction, we think she'd likely do well with a mellow, cat-savvy feline after thoughtful introductions. Honeybear has excellent potty manners and is adjusting nicely to everyday home life. She is still learning that the kennel is a safe place and may protest a bit when confined, but she's making progress as she settles into a routine. One thing her future family should know is that Honeybear prefers to enjoy her meals without interruptions. Like many dogs, she can be protective of her food around people and other dogs, so feeding her separately or giving her a quiet space during mealtimes will help everyone succeed. Her foster has found this to be simple to manage. Because Honeybear is naturally more thoughtful and reserved, we think she'd be happiest in a home with a calmer lifestyle where relationships are allowed to develop at her pace. She hasn't yet been around young children, so any introductions should be slow, respectful, and supervised. Honeybear isn't looking to be everyone's best friend the moment she walks through the door. She's looking for her person—someone who understands that trust is earned, celebrates the little milestones, and appreciates the quiet kind of love that only grows stronger with time. If you're searching for a devoted little shadow who wants nothing more than to share your couch, your bed, and your heart, Honeybear may just be the perfect match!

** Currently fostered in Port Angeles, WA ** This sweet, prancing prince is Rigger, a loving and energetic young fellow. Nice humans are a new thing for Rigger, so he's timid in new situations and with new friends. But he doesn’t take long to warm up and give the most tender kisses. His mind and body both run at about ten times the speed of everyone else's, so he's basically a turbo-charged love machine. He can sneak in ten licks before you even realize he's in your lap! Watch him in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOC2JUp3IGI A smart boy who is willing to please, Rigger is potty trained and crate trained. He is quite motivated by food, which is a great training asset! So far, he knows "kennel" and "sit" and is enjoying learning more. Rigger is submissive with his foster mom and his two pittie foster brothers. But he is still full of sass! He loves to play with dogs more than twice his size, as long as they’re gentle and kind. He enjoys chasing, being chased, and ferociously thrashing stuffies and crinkle toys. And he loves a tasty bone to chew. He's quite athletic and graceful, trotting with high steps or leaping through the grass. This devoted pup follows his foster mom or his favorite foster brother around the house and yard. He is always happy and spunky, with oodles of love to give. We believe he’s a year-old rat terrier, though with rescues we’re never sure, of course. He weighs just over 20 lbs and is slowly gaining weight. Rigger has a journey ahead of him; he needs to discover the world and his own fortitude. He’s already come a long way in the short time he’s been in our care and we can't wait to see him build more confidence. Rigger's adopter will need to continue working with him on socialization. He is looking for a home where his human is around most of the time, with no small children, and plenty of opportunities for rigger-ous exercise. This boy needs to play a few times a day. He makes his own fun with toys if no one will play with him, though he sure prefers a playmate. He would love to live with other dogs. We don't know about cats, though, as he hasn't met any yet. If you think sweet, snuggly, timid Rigger is the right fit for your family, visit his adoption page: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a3c3f7f292bcc77010ea377 Questions?
