Female Dog, Rat Terrier
Rat Terrier / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
What's an energetic terrier to do when her humans can no longer work from home, and is suddenly left alone during the day? She dreams of a new home where she can get the attention, exercise, and stimulation that an active young 3-year-old craves! While Luna spends long days alone tolerantly resting in her crate, she fantasizes about the freedom to run, play fetch, chase critters, go on adventures, and impress people with all the tricks she knows (like rolling over, spinning, giving kisses, and balancing treats on her nose then tossing them into the air to catch!). Luna yearns for snuggles, belly rubs, and lots of human interaction. Surely those are reasonable desires! She's reliably house-trained and has been working on being a calmer leash-walker. Though she's a lover, Luna is uptight about new people coming to the house and reacts with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, she will accept the new friends and soon will be bringing them her toys for a game of fetch. Her alertness to strangers means she takes her guarding responsibilities seriously and she will notify you of suspicious noises or people outside. She would do best in a stand-alone home without shared walls, and in a quieter neighborhood. Luna loves most other dogs but she is a big girl for a rattie mix, weighing 35 lbs., so smaller, timid, or grumpy dogs could be annoyed by her persistent, playful energy. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource-guard high value treats also makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for active and engaged household whose members are home often. She's a super smart, highly affectionate, fun-loving girl!
