8 weeks - 4 pounds 

Black w/ brindle feet  

Available to go home after neuter on July 20

Looking for the sweetest little boy to cover you in sweet kisses and fill your home with tiny little play growls? Then look no further. 

My mom is a rat terrier weighing less than 25 pounds.    My dad is smaller than mom, but we don’t know the breed. It looks like I’m going to take after my dad and be on the smaller side.    If I keep growing like I have been, it looks like I’m on track to weigh about 20 pounds.  

I’m a gentle little boy who really enjoys being near my humans.  I like to jump up and give kisses, wrestle in the laps, and sleep on them while curled up in a cozy blanket. I may be little but I think I can play like a big boy. 

When I’m not trying to cover you with my puppy kisses, I do still need physical and mental enrichment.    I may be tiny, but I won’t be happy being idle all day.    I like food puzzles and toys just like the big pups. 

I’ll be happiest in a home with a family who is home most of the time and understands that it’s in my nature to play and explore.  I like to use my mind and I wasn’t born to stay idle for long periods of time.    The terrier in me will want to investigate the world. 

I’m really good at using the potty pads at my foster family’s house, but I’ll need help learning how to transition to pottying outside.  

Like all puppies I’m looking for a family who is dedicated to teaching me how to be a good boy by using positive reinforcement and patience.
