Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Radar is 7 months old as of 7/23/2024. He is neutered, heartworm-negative, up to date on vaccinations, and housetrained. He is a rat terrier who looks like the photos of a Majorca ratter. One look at his ears will tell you where he got his name! Radar's foster home is located in Concord, NC. This good boy is very smart and very loving. He knows how to sit and stay. He likes to shake paws, play fetch, play ball, dig in the dirt, and run! He loves the water and loves to play in the water hose. He also likes to watch animals on TV! He likes his harness on when he goes for a ride-- it seems to make him feel more secure. As he is still a puppy, he tends to chew through his leashes, so a metal leash works best. Radar is afraid of paper bags and loud noises inside, but he's not afraid of thunder or firecrackers outside. He is of a type that is bred to hunt mice and rats, and consequently he has a high prey drive and can't be trusted around small animals. Since he was rescued, Radar has not been tested in very many situations with people and other animals. He likes to play ball with some neighbor kids, but he has not been around small children. He behaved well at the vet's office where there were people and other animals. His current foster home is not active enough to give him the exercise, training, and socialization he should have. He needs an active family to give him some training and lots of play time. He is so smart that he might be able to train as a service dog. The bottom line is that Radar is a really good, young dog who needs a best friend and a loving and active forever home. Please text Lori at 865-282-7846 or email uneekseven@gmail.com if you want to meet Radar and give him the good life he deserves.

Story
Free to a good home. Female terrier mix. Really needs room to run to get out some energy that I cannot provide. She's hyper but not a viscous bone in her body so for the hyperness, I wouldn't recommend her not being around small children in case she jumps up in excitement. Never barks unless there's a reason. I cant keep her due to my work requiring more travel. Had all shots and heartworm meds regularly. I adopted her from humane society a little over a year ago. She's around 2 estimated. Name is stella. She knows high five and lay down and sit. super house trained. She comes to you and whines when she wants to go out. No accidents in a year.
