Female Dog, Rat Terrier
Rat Terrier (Short Coat)
Description:
Abby is the definition of "resilience." By no fault of her own, she was abandoned at an airport in Georgia which resulted in her temporary stay at an animal shelter, and she has spent time in four different New Rattitude foster homes in Georgia, Illinois, and Michigan which involved two flights by private plane! Through it all, she has adapted easily and remained sweet and loving. She gives equal affection to all people (including children) with gentle licks, snuggles, and tail wags and gets along with other dogs and cats. Believed to be 3-4 years-old and weighing 13 lbs., Abby is crate-trained and mostly house-trained. She is good on car rides. Although she LOVES her regular walks, a securely fenced yard is a must for Abby because she is a fast runner and enjoys the freedom of exploring. Inside the home, she likes playing with toys – if a human or another dog isn't around to play tug with or throw a ball, she'll entertain herself by tossing her toys in the air. Abby's ideal home would include someone who is home much of the day. Understandably after all she has been through, she gets a little anxious when her people go out the door without her (she'll even try to dash the door to go along with them). She is not destructive in the house and can be left loose when no one is around, but she would love the security of a person in her midst for the majority of her day.Resilience is a great quality for a dog to have, but Abby's hope is that she can trade resiliency for the stability of a forever home where she can firmly plant her roots and her loyalty to one very lucky family.
