I think I found my sweet pup a new home!

I'm glad it's working out, KSH. I know it must be hard, but you're doing the right thing.

I became a foster parent to Wren the Rat Terrier yesterday. My best friend's mom lives near me and she is getting too frail to have a high-energy dog underfoot. I agreed to help her find a new home, if I couldn't keep her myself.

She is identical to my 20 yo Jack Russell in coloring, but Wren is really fat--as old ladies' dogs tend to get. She's only 3 years old, has papers, spayed and is really sweet. She also has spots on her back that look like a panda face. I would keep her, except I've been waiting for the day my JRT dies so I don't have to contend with half-inch long white hairs on everything. Wren sheds identically to Percy, and I just can't keep her. She sits on command, but is food obsessed. Well houstrained, though, and did learn to use the doggie door just by watching the other dogs. I hope to break her of the habit of standing on her hind legs to look at the table or counter. (She's too short to reach.) My dogs don't do that, although they do sit and stare at us while we're eating. She's also very quiet. I heard her bark a few times at some neighbors yesterday, but other than that she's silent.

So, if anyone is near Arkansas and would love a well behaved, full-blooded Rat Terrier that needs to be on a diet, I have one. She will only go to a home I approve, though.
