Thought he was a Jack Russell for over ten years and a vet finally corrected us. We had no idea, we found him in a box on the side of the road. He is 100% loved though. For sure.
Let me know if this isn't allowed and I'll take it down (I'm kinda new to reddit rules). The Wisconsin Boston Terrier rescue stumbled into a litter of Rat Terrier (mix?) puppies and they are in desperate need of homes! Their usual following is mostly interesting in bostons, so they are having trouble finding homes for these guys.

(wasn't sure how to flag, but soon it could be one of these guys' gotcha day!)
I adopted my little boy at the city pound. They say he's half rat terrier, half chihuahua. But he's definitely full of cuddles!
PS 🎵 Scottie doesn't know 🎵
Maybe a lizard or something more hideous!
Four years ago today we rescued our rattie Harper! Best decision ever and the happiest day of my life (she would trade me for a tennis ball but I still love her more than anything). 🎉🎉🎉
Pippa is 100% good girl.
Baby practices sit & stay in the big field!
My dogs love a summer treat of raw frozen chicken feet. My lab has no issue with them, and my ratty doesn’t either except I found this breed to be gulperrs, once things get about the size of their head they can gulp it down. Makes me a little nervous but this is how they eat. And if the feet are frozen they tend to chew them more but does anyone else notice the gulping desire??
. The chewing is excellent for their teeth and it’s a great source of calcium but it does make me a little nervous, some people say do frozen turkey necks but that would be even bigger chunks. I do crush the feet a little bit with a hammer first but that takes away from the fun of the chew
Happy bit at his nail trim today.
Please keep your best friends safe! ❤️🫂🐾
Excuse me while I scootch right in for some attentions.
Neighbor's house burned and we became caretakers for this one. It's starting to seem like they may not be able to take her back so I might be looking for a new home for her in the next month or so. Just wanted to see if she'd appeal to RT folks.
She is obese at 28 lbs. We've already gotten five pounds off of her and I suspect she should be at 15-18 healthy. We're going to shoot for that.
Just asking for opinions on if you thinks she's mostly RT.
Time for a nap after spending all morning in the garden with me ☺️
