Adopt a Rat Terrier
Zhorbit (MI) the Dog needs a home
Zhorbit says, “Love me as I am.” This beautiful 10-year-old girl had a hard start in life. Through no fault of her own, she carries the baggage of her undersocialized and possibly abusive beginnings. For the past seven years in her foster home, she has been shown only love and kindness, and she has learned to trust certain people and to relax enough to truly enjoy her life. This includes training classes--Zhorbit has an impressive résumé that includes everything from basic obedience to agility. When the people around her are sensitive to her stressors and triggers, Zhorbit is happy, playful, and obedient. She is not a fan of cats, and while she gets along with other small dogs, she would not do well in a multidog household. Zhorbit is house-trained and will bark to be let out. She is afraid of being crated but can be left loose in the house for several hours at a time without causing any problems. Zhorbit enjoys daily walks for exercise (it keeps her at a fit 15 lbs.) and also likes to snuggle up to her favorite human for quiet time. Potential adopters must live within driving distance of Lansing, Michigan, so they can have a preadoption meet-and-greet with Zhorbit and her foster parents. Due to Zhorbit’s fear issues, she cannot be adopted to a family with children under the age of 10.
