Buddee Boy

I am Buddee Boy, a 14-lb. trim 5-year-old boy with gorgeous "eyeliner" eyes. I came to New Rattitude after my family moved to a farm, where I became nervous around the new sounds and equipment. They decided I needed a new home to feel secure. Now in my foster home, I am doing fine. People say I'm athletic, smart, and lovable. I can jump several feet straight into the air, and if you ask me if I want to go out, I'll leap with enthusiasm. I like plush toys and managed to keep the same teddy bear for a year without destroying it--quite a feat for a rat terrier! I have good manners and know how to sit before I get my dinner. I also know to go to the door to tell you I need to go out. I come when called, and I'm a pro with basic commands. More than running, jumping, and playing, I love to sit in my human's lap and especially to be held like a baby! I will happily go into my crate if asked, but my favorite place to sleep is snuggled next to my human. My perfect family would be a mature single adult or an active retired couple--folks who have time to dote on me. While I tolerate other dogs and even cats, I'd really prefer to be the only one getting the attention. I've heard that little kids can be attention hounds,too, so I do NOT want to be around anybody under the age of five. People say I'm called Buddee Boy because I am a friend to all, and it's true. I am devoted to my humans. If you want a buddy like me, I'm ready to be your very best friend.
