Spock is looking for his own home

I thought I'd write a little about Spock, now that we have gotten to know him better. WOW! What a great dog. First off, he's housetrained, which is always a big plus. It's rare that we end up with housetrained fosters since a lot of them that come to us have been outside only dogs in Texas and are clueless about the whole outside/inside bathroom thing.



Frankly, I'm really shocked at how healthy and muscley he is. Wherever he was before he ended up a stray in the shelter he was well cared for. He isn't hand shy or overly submissive so he likely wasn't mistreated. His coat is gorgeous and his weight is perfect.

He does bark, but really, our dog Frodo is the one who starts it and he just joins in for a bit and then gets tired of the barkfest so goes off to do something else. If only Frodo was so inclined. I'm pretty sure that he is a rat terrier/basenji mix, so he has that odd, hoarse bark that basenjis have and also has the curly basenji tail, which is pretty cool. He acts like a typical standard rattie: full of energy and always ready for fun, but just as willing to kick back on the couch with you and relax.



If you know of anyone looking for a sturdy, loving, gorgeous rat terrier mix then let them know about Mr. Spock!
