Say hello to Tinker! Tinker is the sweetest little lady around. She is an American Hairless Terrier (hairless rat terrier) and is being fostered in Wisconsin. Tinker is about 5 years old and weighs about 12.5 pounds. She gets along beautifully with all of her foster siblings, and with visiting dogs as well. She is tidy and housebroken, and very quiet. She dotes on her foster family and loves to follow them from room to room, wagging her tail all the while. Her very favorite past time is to sit on your lap, wrapped in a blanket, and snuggle with her foster mom. Tinker came to ResQ overweight, and she is working on getting her girlish figure back. Her skin had been neglected as well, but she is doing much better now that she’s being properly cared for. If you would like to consider adopting an American Hairless, please be aware that they need specialized skin care, and will need to wear protective clothing in the winter. Sun screen must also be applied during the hot summer months to protect them from burning. Tinker is a very special girl who is looking for a permanent home and someone to love. Could that be you?

Flicker (aka Flick) is a 2 1/2 year old American Hairless Terrier (hairless Rat Terrier) who weighs about 11 pounds. Poor Flick had been passed around from home to home and then to a shelter, when his skin care became too much work. He found his way to his ResQ foster home where his skin has gotten much needed attention. His pores are no longer black with dirt and his skin feels soft like it should. Flick is very shy guy, (a trait of AHT’s), but loves to sit next to you and especially loves being under any blanket. He likes to sit in the sun and tan. He drinks from a water dish, but will only eat in his crate and will only take treats if you drop them on the floor for him. He walks nicely on a leash and lets you handle his nails and ears without issue. He kisses ever so gently, it’s almost like a whisper. AHT’s require special skin care, much like that of a baby. Just because he has no hair, does not mean he is low maintenance. If you are considering adopting an AHT, please read the skin care requirements contained in his photo album. For example, clothing is a requirement in cooler weather, as is sun screen and lotion. He is doing well with housebreaking and is crate trained. He gets along just fine with the other dogs in his foster home, and would do best in a quieter home or with children over 12. For more photos of Flick, and to read about the care and maintenance of an AHT, please visit his album:
