Milo Ponder - Oregon
Milo Ponder is a black and white Rat Terrier in Portland, Oregon who is need of a forever home. His original owner rescued him from a puppy mill and did not realize how much responsibility having a dog is. Milo P is a little over a year old. He loves long walks at the dog park, beach, and even just a walk around the block keeps him happy. He is eager to please, intelligent, and a fast learner. Milo is neutered. He has been raised around two Beagles and a cat. Milo is house trained but does have full time access to a dog door. He is crate trained but has spent little time there. He much prefers to snuggle with people and is an excellent foot warmer. Milo loves to play with his toys and is thrilled when someone joins in to play with him. He loves playing with the youngest Beagle in the household and sometimes even with the cat. He has shown no signs of being aggressive towards the household dogs or cat. He does well at the off-leash dog park and has shown no signs of aggression towards other dogs at the park. He is leash trained, knows his name, sits, stays, and comes on command. He will get in the car on the command of "load up". Milo loves dog treats but is eager to please for just praise alone. He loves car rides, but does not like to be near open windows. Like any Rat Terrier he thrives with interaction and activity during the day, but he is also content to sit on someone's lap and relax in the evening. Milo does not have much experience with children other than the occassional encounter during walks; in those instances, other than being somewhat shy, he did well. He is shy when meeting new people or dogs, except at the dog park. Once he knows someone though he believes they are his best friend.

Sage was born into Ratbone Rescues on April 2, 2009. Currently, she weighs 4 pounds and should weigh between 16 and 20 pounds when she is grown. Her mom is a Rat Terrier, and she appears to be a Rattie as well, but we do not know her dad. She is a lovely little tri-color and is very sweet and cuddly. She loves to get as much attention as she can and will run and play until she gives out. She should be ready to go to her furr-ever home the last week of June. She will require a lot of love, time and attention, but will give it right back and then some. Her image event is Her image event is http://imageevent.com/rattiemom/nurseries/belladonna
