She is great with dogs and currently fostered in a home with 2 cats. She loves her squeaky and plush toys as well as spending time in the couch with her foster parents. We have never seen any aggression to any dogs on or off leash. She does enjoy her chewy sticks as she loves to have chewing sessions on her bully stick or toys.She is house and potty trained. Her current foster home doesn't crate train so she has not been exposed to crate training. She would be a great match for a retiree or a family dog. She may be 7yrs old but she LOVES to play and excercise. Although not puppy energy and constantly moving, she does enjoy activity. She is a terrier after all!

Beth is crate trained as well and she loves her crate. Beth and sisters were kept in small spaces and with no food. They had a tough beginning but now they are ready to find their forever home. As with all rescued pets, we need to give them few days to adjust to their new environment - they all have a story behind them and sometimes we don't know what it is - therefore, the art of adopting a rescued pet is to change their lives and they need that special person/family to make it happen. The art and best asset to provide to a rescued creature is to understand them and work with them in changing their lives forever:) they will give you their unconditional and loyal love in return furrever:) Beth has a cute face with that unique wired hair that makes her look so cute!!
