Rugrat

My story

Rugrat is an adorable rat terrier mix with a very sad past. He was severely abused by a disturbed teenage boy for numerous years. Eventually the mom of the teenager admitted the child in a hospital and asked us to take Rugrat, and she moved.Because of Rugrat's past he has baggage. He is leery of strangers and introductions to new people must be slow. He currently lives with a single woman, her dog and visiting grandchildren whom Rugrat gets along well with.Rugrat needs a quiet home and patient dog experienced people that know and recognize subtle signs of stress and behavior in dogs. The new family will need to be slow and steady with handling him in the beginning.He is VERY loyal to his people. He LOVES walks and car rides. For the right big-hearted family, he will be a wonderful addition to their home. He weighs about ten pounds and is housebroken and crate trained._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Rugrat is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET RugratThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Rugrat and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
