*****IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in more information about Vesper, please contact his family directly:   email Taylor at Tmpolster@gmail.com.  This is a courtesy listing provided to Vesper’s family by Rat Terrier ResQ, and the dog is not in our system.  We make no assurances or guarantees regarding this dog, we are attempting to help his family find a suitable home.  The information hereafter was provided by his family.

Vesper is a 3.5 year-old male rat terrier who is much loved by his family, but the human baby has become a toddler and there is another human baby on the way.  Vesper is overwhelmed and not adjusting to the changes in his environment.  The family has agreed to seek out a home for him that is better for his temperament and exercise needs.  They do not see dogs as disposable and it is breaking their hearts to consider re-homing him, but his human dad is a front-line medical worker (working long hours) and Vesper’s human mom is overwhelmed as well.

PROS:  Vesper is up-to-date on all vaccines, and records are available.  He is housebroken and likes to go outside often.  He has high exercise needs; would be great for a runner or someone who can take him on adventures.  He is leash trained and crate trained.  The family suggests he has a lot of potential for athletic competitions, such as flyball, agility, or dock dogs.  He knows sitz (sit), platz (lie down), shake and crate.  He will come with lots of gear: leashes, collars, harnesses, beds, and an invisible fence collar if needed, and his favorite toys.  He is affectionate and loves to snuggle. 

CONS:    Vesper is NOT good with cats or small children (3 and under).  He can jump fences with ease, so he needs a secure yard with a 6’ fence or supervision while outdoors.  He does love to chase (and catch) squirrels and rabbits, mice and rats. 

Vesper weighs around 24 pounds.  He is 3.5 years old.  He can use a doggy door, but with caution, as he jumps fences.  He knocked out his two bottom middle teeth while jumping the fence and had surgery performed by a specialist veterinary dentist.  His smile looks a little goofy now!
