Little Debbie is a sweet, sensitive half toy Rat Terrior, half toy Rat Terrier who came to our family after being moved around a lot and not having much security. After a little routine, love, and training she adapted very quickly into the best little buddy. She loves absolutely everybody-new people, dogs, kids, etc. and won’t leave your side. She’s very calm with one 30-45 min walk a day, loves her “babies,” enrichment puzzles, and gazing out the window to see what’s happening in the neighborhood. She’s never shown any signs of aggression and bonds with people very quickly. Please help and be the family and home she truly deserves.
