About Spartan

Adoption Fee: $175
Rat Terrier mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

He's cute...adorable, in fact...and he has no idea! You see, Spartan is totally blind. His right eye is recessed, and his left eye does not work. However, neither eye requires any special care. And this tiny 8-lb. Rat Terrier doesn't let lack of vision slow him down one bit. The way he navigates his environment is so amazing that you'd have a hard time believing he can't see (until he runs into something. Yeah, the navigation systems occasionally go down). You'll also have a hard time believing this fellow has hit Rattie middle age. When you see that baby face and Spartan's puppy-like way of playing with his dinosaur and climbing under the blanket, you would probably guess him to be much younger than his 9 or 10 years. Spartan lives with seven other dogs and gets along with all of them. He has met kids whose ages range from 1 to 18, and he does well with them also. He does struggle with house-training, but with a belly band, he should be improving soon. Not surprisingly, Spartan can also struggle with anxiety in brand new situations where he is unfamiliar with his surroundings, so he should make a slow transition to his new home. Prospective adopters should live within easy driving distance of Linden, Indiana. He would love to be a companion to someone who is home all day (and who could provide frequent potty breaks). Spartan is such a special guy...and he's available for spoiling at your house today! ------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING SPARTAN, please go to new Rattitude's website at http://NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm, where there is detailed information and a link to our adoption application.
