I'm looking for a small (under 12 lbs.), young, female rat terrier to rescue.  She will have a warm, nurturing, and loving environment to live in.

Please respond if you live near Richmond, VA. or an area that would be driving distance from Richmond.

Thank you so much,

Betsy

Hi Betsy,

My name is Sue Carello and I am a State Coordinator and Fostermom for Ratbone Rescues.  Please check out www.ratbonerescues.com - we're a national Rat Terrier rescue organization with dogs all across the US and Canada.

I don't know exactly what dogs we have available near Virginia - but even if you find a dog that is not within driving distance of VA, there is always the option of flying them to you.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Welcome to this board!  There are a lot of great people here!!

Kodi is a simply sweet little girl who is VERY well behaved. She walks nicely on a leash, is housebroken, comes when called, and will sit and stay. Kodi can get quite comfortable on a fluffy couch cushion or on a person's lap, and does not object to being held. She's also got a spunky side to her personality. She'll great you at the door with a tail wagging, and jump into your lap when you sit down. After Kodi came to us from Georgia, we found that she had a stick stuck in her mouth. Somehow, she was able to eat and drink, but the stick caused an irritation to her eye. The stick is out, and her eye is healing well. Even still, none of her ordeal has gotten in the way of her being a fun dog! Her tri-color coat is just beautiful, and once you start petting her, you won't want to stop. Come meet her to see just how very wonderful a dog she is. For more information, or to meet Kodi at an adoption event, please contact Colleen at colleenlearch@gmail.com.
To meet Kodi at an adoption event, please e-mail dogs@lostdogrescue.org or call (703)295-DOGS.
