Hope is a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. She is approx 2 years old. She is a quiet little lady that loves attention. She is house trained and crate trained. She walks well on a leash. She is a little timid until she gets to know you. She is submissive around other dogs. She ignores the cats in her foster home. She likes to sleep under her blanket. She does like to play with the smaller dogs but is scared of the bigger ones. Hope is light heartworm positive. We have started her on a soft treatment.

Please contact Vicky at aarf@embarqmail.com for more information about this dog or to schedule a meet and greet.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
