This little girl is in a shelter about two hours away from me. They have her listed as a beagle, but I think I see some rattie in her. What do you guys think? I'm going to try to contact them and see if I can find out more info on her and hopefully arrange a time to meet her.

Notes: This is a small sized young adult dog who is very well behaved. She pottied outside, so she may be housebroken. Such a sweet tempered dog. Please adopt her today.
All pets adopted from Puppy Love will be wormed and have their shots (except Rabies) before adoption. | |

| That is no beagle, at least not fullblood. She has a rattie head. Good luck, Sarah, and let us know what you find out. |

| She looks like a rattie or part rattie to me (and a sweetie). Good luck! |

I agree with what everyone has said! Question: Why does it seem like shelters ( or whoever ) will list a dog as anything under the moon BUT a rattie? Or is it just me? It seems like they would rather call them "Terrier Mix" than "Rat Terrier". Of course it could just be me venting! |

She's beautiful - at least part rattie for sure! Good luck 
And, I agree, Petfinder and a lot of others mislabel ratties A LOT!!! That's why I always run a general search as you never know what they'll have them listed as.
This baby isn't TOO far from you either, Sarah

Notes: Terri is a one year old, purebred Rat Terrier. She weights 20 pounds, is housebroken, spayed and up to date on shots. Terri gets along well with kids and other animals. But, like most rat terriers, she can jump REAL high and has lots of energy. Can you give Terri the time and love that she needs??
This pet is up to date with routine shots.
This pet is already house trained.
This pet has been altered.

| Wow! I just talked to someone at the shelter and she's still available. I told them that I probably wouldn't be able to make it in until Saturday and they said that they could hold her. Now I'm really excited! I don't know if I can wait that long though! |

I remember that MB!!! I'm sooo glad you found Skipper by doing that. Ya'll wouldn't believe how many people have already said that Emma is a chi. Well, maybe ya'll would! LOL!!!! |

| Yes, I'd believe but really she doesn't look chi at all, she's just small. Those tiny Teddies of Sara's all have very rat terrier heads/faces just like Mayfly and Abby (the bigger version LOL). Now Skipper really has a chihuahua head but it seems to be stuck on a rat terrier body....you should see how confused people get who see him when we're out...so many stop and ask me "what kind of dogs are they?" Then, because I'm a perfectionist, I launch into my "well, this one is a purebred rat terrier, these are rat terrier-chi mixes, etc." LOL! |

| I might sound like a crazy person BUT.... I might try to go see her tomorrow. The shelter opens at 7 a.m. I could leave my house at 5 and make it there by the time they open. I don't have to work until 9 a.m. I'll probably end up being late for work, but I don't have any appointments tomorrow anyway. |

No, she looks nothing like a Chi. But like me, before I got Apollo, I never knew Ratties existed.... so just by her size and not knowing about ratties.... I can see where people think Chi.
And I'm like you MB, I'm a perfectionist so I go into my spill of how Apollo is a standard "A" type rattie and Emma is a Toy "B" type rattie! |

| I think there is some beagle mixed in... but certainly not a full-blooded beagle. Buster is part beagle and is a "pound puppy" and has been one of the best little dogs I've ever owned. This little girl is precious! |

I hope so! It's funny because I just found her right after I replied to your post!
Yes, I plan on taking Jerry with me. They encouraged me to do so. They actually are making me a little nervous. The girl I talked to didn't know which dog I was talking about, so I had to describe her. I actually just sent them an e-mail with Darby's picture to clarify. I hope that she actually is still available! |

Now you know how I felt that day I was waiting to hear back from Sara to see if Emma was still available! I was a nervous wreck. |

| Aw, I didn't have that problem with Skipper because no one wanted the poor little guy. He's the sweetest dog but apparently no one could look past the missing eye and missing teeth! But hey, their loss is my gain. |

I would actually be perfectly happy with her being a rattie/beagle mix. One of Jerry's best buddies is a beagle named Champ. |
