Story
We believe Rihanna is a Decker/giant rat terrier which is a hunting breed. She is super friendly and loves meeting new people. She is good around both young and older children. Most of the time she is a couch potato, but she loves going on walks and will play fetch all day. She is usually quiet, but will bark at cats and squirrels. She also communicates well with her people and is very vocal with her cute “barooo”.

Story
This was my moms dog. I believe he wasn’t being treated well and had lots and lots of stairs to go in and out. She had to move to a place that didn’t accept pets, especially one of his size. He been very happy and likes kids (I have 4) he’s lost in the shuffle of life and I just don’t have the capacity to love him properly or give him the attention he needs. He’s a little inexperienced with other dogs. So I’m not sure. He loves walks but I’ve had a little difficulty as he wasn’t really trained for it. Completely house trained. Will ditch you for a bunny. Very sweet and loving. I also, cannot afford him. I think he has some skin issues and isn’t up to date on shots. He is 5 yrs old
