Meet Sweetie
Meet Sweetie! 11 years old going on 5! Don’t tell Sweetie she’s a senior because she clearly didn’t get the memo! At 11 years young, this Rat Terrier mix is mostly sugar with just a sprinkle of terrier sass! ‍♀️ Sweetie LOVES her walks but takes her beauty sleep just as seriously! She’s crate trained, housebroken, and ready to be your full-time shadow. Personal space? Never heard of it! ❤️ She prefers small dog pals and tolerates bigger dogs who respect her royal boundaries. Sweetie does have allergies, and we want her future family to understand that managing them will be an ongoing part of her care. She has had allergy testing and does great with her daily medication and is limited on the food that she can eat. She can still have occasional flare-ups that may need a little extra care, but this is simply part of Sweetie and something her forever family will need to continue managing throughout her life. ❤️ And trust us, Sweetie doesn’t let any of that slow her down! She may be a senior on paper, but her heart is young, her personality is BIG, and she has SO much love left to give! ❤️ Who’s ready for a little shadow with a big personality?
