ADOPTED!!  Zippy is a an adorable 6-month old rat terrier puppy with beautiful markings, and weighs about 12 pounds. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs. He gets along with his 4 year old step-brother rattie with no problems. They love playing tug-of-war, and because he still has his puppy teeth, he likes and needs good chewables (unless you want your slippers chewed).  He is so sweet and his training includes being crated at night (he’s a champ!). He’s still working on leash training (he seems to think walks are play time and not for business). He is also still working on potty training, but remember he is young and has been bounced from the shelter, to the coordinator and then to his foster family, so he does have a learning curve. Patience will be a virtue with him and maybe some puppy training and he will be the perfect addition to your family. He just needs a few more manners.  He loves to snuggle in your lap and take long naps. Hey, growing is hard work!  We promise he will bring joy to your life. He is completely vetted and is microchipped. Rat terriers love to burrow, so don’t be surprised if he wants to sleep at your feet at night!! He is one of his foster mom’s favorite fosters and we are sure he’ll be your favorite baby for many years to come.  For photos of Zippy in his foster home, click here:
