Our Featured Pet: Susie

Please note that our dogs are only available to those who reside in the western PA/northwestern WV area.

Susie is at best guess a Rat Terrier (known) with possibly an ACD and who knows what else! She weighs approx. 18# and is almost 2 years old. She has a great personality, loads of brains and a great desire to please. She is truly one of the cutest dogs you'll ever meet. Everyone says so...see for yourself! So what's the problem? We'll let Susie tell you! Where do I begin? First, I live in a house with another dog who is the star of the show - Lady has been nice to me and all, but you can't imagine the pressure! She's beautiful and perfect in every way. You know, long legs, gorgeous hair, big tail. When we walk down the street together, I feel like chopped liver. It's way too stressful living in the shadow of a supermodel! On top of that, two cats live here too - Jack and Pecan. Now I know what you're thinking - what's the big deal? Well, I'm a bit ashamed to say but I have to be honest. I have a fondness for harassing cats. I know, I know, I should be able to control myself. I mean, it's been well more than a year that I've lived with them, and even though they are bigger than I am, I just can't resist pouncing on them when they walk by. What can I say? I'm a terrier! I've been going to CatPouncer Anonymous meetings and my sponsor says abstinence is the only solution. So how am I going to abstain when Pecan walks past and flicks that big fluffy tail in my face? I tell you, it's like torture! I have to get out of this house! So what am I looking for? Not much, really. I'm not so hard to get along with. I'm good with kids. I'd love to share a home with a family, and maybe another dog who appreciates my playfulness and wants companionship. A home with someone who has time to help me over my shyness would be great. Before I forget, I do have a little issue with submissive peeing. Wait! Don't stop reading! I promise, this too shall pass. You see, I just think I need a family who understands me and I can come out of my shell and shine. Let me show you how hard I can try! Tell you what, if you give me a shot, I come with 3 paid sessions with a professional behavior consultant. How much better can it get? You could have me and freebies! Come on, give my keeper of the gate a shout and let's discuss this. You won't be sorry!
