Mattie Lou is a beautiful Rat Terrier, who spent most of her 6 years in a breeding program where she had lots of puppies. When she came to rescue, she was very thin and had dental issues and a skin infection, but Mattie Lou is now on the mend and ready for her forever family. She has some patches of skin where hair has not regrown, but her regular medicated baths are helping that and she should soon be good as new. Mattie Lou's life goal is to be someone's lap dog. She is sweet as can be and loves to spend time with people. She'll snuggle in your lap and snooze, and she'll follow you around the house. At a petite 12 lbs., she can go anywhere with you. Mattie Lou is house-trained and crate trained. She gets along well with all the other dogs in her foster home, including the huge German Shepherds. She has met children and is content to be petted by them if they are quiet and let her come to them. Mattie walks on a leash and rides well in the car. She's a joy to have around and is sure to make you smile. More photos of Mattie Lou are available in her online photo album athttp://imageevent.com/newrattitude/mattielou .
