Bilbo (FL)

Beautiful Bilbo awaits his forever home with you! This charming 8-year-old purebred rat terrier weighs 30 lbs. and is a fun-loving big bundle of joy. He's house-trained and knows how to sit, lie down, stay, wait, and play dead on cue. He does wonderfully on his leash during walks and loves to play tug-of-war or be chased around by the humans. Bilbo is also happy to chill with you on the couch and receive love in the form of belly rubs and bum scratches. He is even used to staying home alone and has no separation anxiety. He's a well-behaved dog that will come to you already adjusted to sharing a house and being a fantastic companion. Like any rescue, he does have a few very manageable quirks. A leash is essential when he is outside because he doesn't always come when called. He is a resource guarder with food and will bite if he thinks you might take his food away. It's important that you tell him to 'wait' while you put his food down and then leave him alone while he's eating. Young children don't understand this, so Bilbo needs a home without kids. He is also just generally uncomfortable around kids and can be defensively reactive. Bilbo gets along with some, but not all, dogs. Applicants who own other dogs should be agreeable to a meet-and-greet in a neutral place to see if the dogs get along. Are you the person that Bilbo has been waiting for? This handsome, silly, and already-trained rattie needs nothing more than a loving home to be the incredible companion he was always meant to be.
