Adopt a Rat Terrier / Mixed

Rat Terrier / Mixed Dog

Rita D3985 the Dog needs a home


Meet the lovely Rita.   Her estimated date of birth is December 2011


and is 7 pounds of pure love and playfulness.   She has only been in


Minnesota for a short time, but she is a champ with taking on / off


sweaters and coats to go outside to do her business. Rita scores a B+


in being house trained.   The cold weather has set this southern gal


back a bit in that department.  She is a bit reluctant to stay outside


long enough to make sure she takes care of all of her business.


However, she does well when crated for the workday or enclosed in an


exercise pen.  Once she gets acclimated to Minnesota and establishes a


routine, she will be bringing home an A+ on her report card.  Rita is


comfortable sleeping in a kennel but also a great cuddler and loves to


sleep with her humans under the covers.




She loves to give you kisses and get pets, and loves to play tug-o-war


or fetch.   She could play all day if you have the time.    Rita also


knows "Sit" and "Down" (watch the video!), and perhaps knows other


commands as well!   Rita is listed as a rat terrier (her foster mother

thinks she’s more Chihuahua than rattie – but whatever she is, she's



adorable!).  She currently lives with 3 small dogs and 3 cats, and


gets along with all.
