Sweet Chelan is hiding


Meet Chelan...

Chelan is a very gentle 14 lb. tri colored rat terrier. She is long-legged with a cropped tail and is estimated to be 5 years old. Although she is a little underweight, she is working on her nutrition and gaining a lb. or two. Chelan came to us from a high kill shelter in California and was very timid at first but she is slowly learning to trust people. Chelan is not a cuddler but has learned it's ok to get in her foster dad's lap for attention and likes to lay next to him on the sofa. She is now showing what a happy little girl she can be when life is on her side. Her short tail wags constantly and although she seems happy will grumble softly. Chelan is fearful of men at first and will bark at them until she feels comfortable around them. She is learning to play and wrestle with her doggie brothers and sisters and runs to pick out stuffed toys on her own. She has favorite toys she carries around plays with. She loves to run and bark with her playmates. Chelan is very polite when you fix her food and will sit very still until she is fed. She will take food from your hands gently when given treats. Chelan is fully housetrained and will sit at the door when she needs to go out. Chelan is also crate trained and sleeps through the night without a peep but would love to cuddle under the covers if given the chance. Chelan is a very low-key, easy going dog that if given time and love will be a very special part of her person's life For more photos of Chelan please visit her online album atwww.imageevent.com/newrattitude/chelan
