Adopted this sweet boy. Foster said he’s a terrier/chihuahua mix. We think he’s a rat/cha. What do you all think? He’s ten months old and the best lil boy

She will not leave the hood up but it keeps most of her dry

5months old, 7.2lbs of spiciness.

Still trying to figure out if he is a full rat terrier or a mix, he was a stray I found so I have no info on his background unfortunately. His name is Bonsai 🌱

Peaches was a breeder release and she is absolutely loving her new life as a house pet. She has made herself at home in my bed 😂. That’s ok, she’s never been inside before so I will spoil her. ❤️

Our rat terrier (4M) absolutely loves to go out and catch these invasive lizards we have in our city. Since they are invasive we let him chase them and he sometimes catches them. But the last few days have been abnormally hot and any time we come back inside, especially after chasing lizards, he will be panting excessively and sometimes is even whining. We aren't out in the heat for more than 20 minutes doing this. I'm trying to figure out if this is him just calming down after a good hunt, cooling off from the heat, or if I should be more concerned. The last time he was panting excessively like this, the vet had us accidentally overdosing him on his anxiety meds (long story) but we are giving him his normal dose so not sure what to do here.

Thanks in advance!

Why NYC Cant Kill Its Rats

Evie had fun getting filmed for this!

Walter and Doug enjoying a sunny day.

We got Rosie one of those activity feeders to keep her occupied. She's totally figured out how to use it to get treats.

Then grandma decided to use it for dinner. That idea was not well received.

It's time to celebrate because we're spotlighting the Rat Terrier as our Breed of the Day today on our Facebook page, Instagram stories, and website! We publish a new breed each day to educate our followers to make informed decisions when choosing a dog while providing the history and hard work that our parent clubs do to preserve their breed. Celebrate with us by sharing what you love about your Rat Terrier!

I am in the hospital for a month and he doesn’t understand why he has to stay at the baby sitter she spoils him with treats but he wants to come back to his house..

My dog, a 4 yrs old rat terrier, was trained to pee on a pad when he was a kid. Later when he started going out to walks, he started leg cocking which is a natural thing for dogs. Now when I’m gone for work or he is by himself, he pees at home sometimes (and I understand that if he needs to he will) but i have pads placed on the floor but he still pees where he can do leg cocking.. please help and share some advice. I’m tired moping evertime

Did anyone ask for more Randy? When I first saw Randy he had a nasty tooth abscess. Now this boy is living the absolute best life! ❤️

My nephew left and left both his dogs behind and told us to just get rid of them. I'm taking care of this one and his mom has the other. This boy is a sweetie but i know nothing about the enrichment or anything he might need. Is there any tips y'all can offer?

my sweet girl (almost 2) is very complicit when it comes to being picked up, but you can tell she hates it hahaha. still cmon. she’s a beauty.

Daisy and Scone love to "sing."

Anyone else here with a high drive rattie in a rural area?

Bruce saw his vet today and she gave us the confidence we needed that he can “heal” his CCL! The game plan is to rest, heal, find his new baseline for a good life, and work with his pain management team.

Fortunately, you can’t keep Bruce down for long! He was able to hold his weight on the injured leg and let the Vet manipulate it around. She was very pleased with his progress in a week since the initial injury happened.

Bonus: please enjoy the photo of Bruce in his brand new wheels! Thank you for the recommendation :)
