Bennett

We’d like you to get to know Bennett! Bennett is being fostered in Wolcott CT, and is a 2 year-old male weighing about 12 pounds. He is a type B rattie with the short legs. Bennett has those sweet, soulful eyes that will make you melt. He is quite the love bug and enjoys snuggling on the couch and sleeping in bed with you. Bennett loves for you to wrap your arms right around him and hold him all night. This sweetheart is housebroken and crate trained. He gets along great with other dogs his size, but has not been around larger dogs yet. He is relaxed around women, but takes a couple of days to get comfortable with men. He needs to know that men won’t hurt him. We have not cat-scanned him yet but we can if a prospective home has a resident feline. He is very gentle, so we assume he would be good with cats. He even plays with a 3-pound chihuahua, and is so good and gentle with her. Bennett is still a bit mouthy in play with people so we would suggest kids over 6 . He is leash trained but is afraid of busy traffic, he was hit by a car before coming into rescue, so who can blame him! He was very lucky to only have some cuts and muscle soreness, and has healed well. He shows his joy at being alive by doing rat runs around the yard of his foster home. If you are looking for dedicated little man in your life , here he is! He will never stop showing his love.

Baxter

Meet Baxter! Baxter is six and a half years old and weighs 15 pounds. His family could no longer keep him when they had to move for their employment, so we were asked to help find him a new home. He is being fostered in South Windsor CT. Baxter is a very playful boy, who just loves his toys! Six years old is still a spring chicken for a rat terrier, after all! He is housebroken and sleeps quietly in a crate at night. He loves being outside on nice days and delights in playing fetch with a ball, if you will throw it for him. Baxter happily gets along with his two foster rat terrier sisters, but we were informed by his former owners that he may have some issues with much bigger dogs. He did live with a cat, but they were not best buddies. He will sit next to you on the couch, content to hold a stuffed toy in his mouth and just chill out. He loves going on walks and seems to enjoy riding in cars. A fenced in yard would be good for Baxter so that he can enjoy his supersonic rat runs for exercise. His foster family thinks that he would be a great dog for any family. Do you have room in your heart and home for this little boy? For more photos of Baxter in his foster home, click here:
