Hi! I'm Nissan, a sweet 2-year-old, 10-pound Rat Terrier. I'm dependable, affectionate, playful, and happiest with my favorite people. I enjoy backyard playtime, toys, cozy evenings, TV watching, couch cuddles, and long naps.

Ideal Home

Nissan would thrive in a patient, calm single-family home with a securely fenced yard. He is nervous about leash walks away from home and feels most confident in his backyard. His family should be home more often than not and be committed to consistent training and patient encouragement.

• Enjoys playing with other dogs; a playful canine companion could be wonderful but is not required.
• Has not been tested with cats.
• Should do well with older, respectful children who allow him time to warm up and approach at his own pace.

Ongoing Health

Nissan is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He should remain on regular heartworm and flea prevention.

Training & Support

Nissan responds very well to positive-reinforcement training. He knows “touch” and is learning “up” and “down.” He is comfortable in his designated napping area, especially with a frozen Kong toy. He currently follows a strict potty schedule every couple of hours, so his family will need to maintain that routine consistently.

Application Details

• Start by contacting Nissan’s provider through Wags if he seems like a good match.
• His adoption donation is $350.
