Adopt a Toy Rat Terrier
Toy rat terriers are a miniature version of the full-sized rat terrier. This short-haired breed is small of stature but big of heart and is known as a very intelligent breed with lots of natural curiosity. Toy rat terriers love human companionship and thrive on attention and play, often shadowing their owners and actively begging for physical interaction. Originally bred as farm dogs, rat terriers and their toy counterparts can be adopted via numerous local and national organizations that can be found on the world wide web.
