Story
Ray is a 12-year-old Rat Terrier with a strong personality and unique quirks, ideal for a patient and experienced dog lover. I've cared for Ray for nearly 11 years, managing his behavioral needs, but recent life changes have made it difficult to give him the attention he deserves. Ray generally prefers not to be touched on most of his body, except for his head. He reacts negatively to unexpected handling and recently snapped during tick removal. He is sensitive to sounds in unfamiliar environments, often barking at new or unexpected noises, which can be challenging in multi-dog households. Ray tends to chew on my other dog’s fur, so he may do best in a single-dog household or with supervised introductions. Ray needs a dedicated owner who can provide a structured, calm environment and manage his particular behaviors.
