Story
When Jeri and Meri were found, they were essentially feral. They were hiding under a shipping container they had adopted as their home. It is unknown how long they were living there, as the property was only visited by the owners sporadically. When the landowners found them, it took quite a while to coax them out into the open where they were eventually trapped. Both were very skinny, dehydrated and terrified of people. And both are still very wary and untrusting of new people and new situations.  On occasion, both dogs still nip their rescuers when they are stressed or excited.  This is not to say that they would not warm up to other people.  But it will take a "dog-savvy" person with great patience, love and a very calm, low activity home. Once the level of trust is earned, either Jeri or Meri would be a sweet companion and friend.  Meri and Jeri will NOT be good with seniors, children or cats because of their unpredictability and their terrier tendencies. They should probably be adopted separately in order to fully bond with the new owner(s). Jeri is neutered, vaccinated and on Heartworm preventative. Meri is spayed, vaccinated, and on Heartworm preventative. You can speak to his foster parents to learn more by calling 662-342-9448 or emailing: info@desotoanimalrescue.orgNovember 5, 2024, 6:38 pm

Zeus

Rat Terrier

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zeus is a sweet, loving dog. He loves to run, play, dig and thoroughly enjoys chasing his paws. Once we found some durable toys, he did a much better job at not being so destructive with them. We have a 5yo, 8lb Maltipoo with whom he gets along; they enjoy playing together. He also does really well around kids. He is protective but not aggressive. He didn't get much training but knows the basics: how to sit, lay down, stop, walk. We walk him occasionally, but it isn't done daily because of our schedules. Hence, our decision to rehome him. Because of our work schedules, he isn't allowed to be out and play as much as we would all like. He does have a limp that he's had since a tiny puppy. The x-ray they did at the vet showed only inflammation, which bone health gummies have seemed to help it heal on its own. He’s currently on an active Banfield plan until March.
