Creole was rescued from a Louisiana shelter, along with his mama (Gingersnap) and his brothers and sisters. Creole was born on February 9 (2009), so he's a little over 4 months old. He weighs just a bit over 8 pounds, so we think Creole will probably be 16 to 19 pounds when fully grown. Creole is completely paper trained and working on house-breaking. He has learned to use a doggie door, and mostly tries to potty outside. Creole has not started crate training yet, but will in the next few weeks. He plays nicely with his siblings and is generally respectful of the adult dogs here. He is used to living with cats, but not children (though he should do just fine in a family with kids). Creole is hoping for a family of his own who likes to spend lots of time going walkies and playing with all kinds of toys. He would like a K-9 brother or sister in his forever home, but thinks being an only dog might not be too bad either.

Ratbone Rescues is a rescue group dedicated to helping Rat Terriers in need.
As any breed grows in popularity, there is always the chance that some dogs will find themselves with people who don't understand their needs. When this happens, the dog is sometimes abused, neglected or abandoned. We feel a responsibility toward these unfortunate animals, and work to find new, permanent homes for them. This blog is designed and maintained by volunteers to support Ratbone's mission.
