About Zipper

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

Zipper can't contain himself! Sure, he's excited that you're interested enough to read his story, but we mean quite literally that he cannot contain himself. With high-level Rat Terrier energy and his long, strong legs, 1-year-old Zip can clear a 4-foot fence without even a second thought. He's so agile that he can clmb any chain-link fence. He also has such a high prey drive that he considers anything (chickens, livestock, cats, squirrels, etc.) fair game for a chase. You must have a minimum 6-foot solid wood fence or commit to providing him ample opportunities to walk and run on leash because he won't be safe in a conventionally fenced yard. Fortunately, Zip is very, very smart and highly motivated to learn using food and/or toys as rewards. He is already crate trained and house-trained (though he sometimes forgets to ask to go out), and he enjoys tennis balls and playing fetch, so imagine what a great candidate he would be for agility or flyball. Zip is affectionate and playful with humans and other dogs who don't mind exuberant puppy energy. If you already have a young canine friend for him to play with, it will relieve you and other human family members of some of the 'playground duty.' Currently weighing 15 lbs., Zip should be about 16 lbs. when fully muscled out. If you're committed and a fan of terriers, you'll love helping this amazing boy harness his mighty powers for wholesome, safe recreational fun. Why, it may be so rewarding that even you won't be able to contain yourself! ------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ZIPPER, please go to New Rattitude's website at https://newrattitude.org/adopt/, where there is detailed information and a link to our adoption application.
