I am thinking of getting this pup....

[malta blue]

I submitted an application to adopt the chocolate rat terrier above who is called "Mickey"

He even has his own video:

With Luna being gone, I have been feeling so lonely, and my little Egypt rat terrier REALLY needs a buddy - SO....

He is currently "not available" but I do have contact with his foster mom on another forum that I post on, and she told me to complete the app and she would keep us at the forefront as soon as he comes available. Plus, I think she likes that fact that I live about 10 minutes from her so she can keep an eye on him...

Wish us luck.....

1. Very best of luck to you, Egypt and Mickey.

Thanks for adopting.

[malta blue]

11. And good luck to you and your potential new pup as well

:pals:

[Faygo Kid]

2. All the best and a long life to Mickey: May he be a tweat destroyer.

Like my three dogs.

[malta blue]

12. I hope so too....

Egypt takes down a new toy in less than one day most of the time :D

[Skittles]

3. oooh

I can tell just from that pic that Mickey got CHARACTER - yes INDEED

[malta blue]

13. He is a rescue from Georgia (IIRC) and is now living

in upstate NY.

He looks like such a sweetie :D

[Bombero1956]

4. poor little guy

looks so sad. Best of luck to both of you.

[malta blue]

14. He does look sad in that pic.

I love his chocolate coloring. Quite a contrast to my current little rat

[femmocrat]

5. Ahhh,.... that look is a heart-breaker!

He would look much happier if he went home with you!

Good luck! Let us know if (when) you get him, OK?

[malta blue]

15. Oh you know if he comes to this house there will be pictures

galore :bounce:

[marzipanni]

6. Mickey Rat

Terrier ;) is cute and looks like he could use some love and a permanent place, and that little tail will be wagging and he'll be smiling.
I hope you get him!

[malta blue]

16. Thanks for the good wishes.

I hope he gets to come live with us too.

Right now his foster mom is working on his separation anxiety that recently developed :(

[Wcross]

7. Mickey needs you MB!

He looks like such a sweet little guy, look at those eyes! I hope Mickey joins your "pack", he couldn't do any better than that! I wish you all good luck!

[malta blue]

17. Thanks WCross.

I hope he gets to be a part of our pack too!

I just can't get over his little face :D

[Biscottiii]

8. Sending Mickey and malta blue some luck here!

He looks like a real sweetheart!

One thing impressive about the Internet is that it sure seems to make more matches between people and furbabies in need of a forever home. I so hope this works out for you!!

[malta blue]

18. The amazing thing is I have followed his story

since his pull from the shelter, his transport to upstate NY, and the work his foster mom does with him. All this, thanks to the internet - who would have imagined.....

[Midlodemocrat]

9. What a cutie!!!! *fingers crossed*

:loveya:

[malta blue]

19. Thanks Midlo.

All fingers and toes crossed in this house :D

[hobbit709]

10. You're asking for trouble, you know that

Two TERRORS in one house? I hope you get him.

[malta blue]

20. well then the TERRORS can entertain each other....

I don't have the slightest clue what I am getting in to. All I know is Egypt is my little love bug who needs a buddy....

[malta blue]

21. ******* UPDATE ********** YAY ******* YAY ********

The foster mom is going to call me tonight about meeting him and seeing how he does with Egypt!!!!

:bounce::bounce:

[hobbit709]

22. Best of luck!

[xchrom]

23. that rocks! -- go micky, egypt and malta! nt

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Terrific, my friend! What great news!

And that's the best option, having them meet first, since you want to make sure they're compatible. Though it did take Meneken awhile to warm up to Sara, but she was very good with him, so I didn't worry... much, LOL. Also, my friend in rescue, who's placed two dogs with me, said they should meet on "neutral ground," so neither dog feels territorial. The best of luck and congratulations!:toast:

Rhiannon:hug:

[malta blue]

25. Thanks Rhi.

I will talk to her tonight about the meeting place.

He is apparently very sweet, but gets a little freaked by t-storms. So I have to see if he needs meds to deal with it, etc.

Thank you for all you support :pals:

[Rhiannon12866]

27. You're welcome, my friend. He is so adorable, with such a sad little face...

I hope so much that this works out for all of you. When I've adopted dogs, I ran it by my vet and he says that male-female is the most compatible combination, but it depends on the dog. Also, it can depend on who's looking for a leader and also a friend...:D

And I sure can sympathize with the thunderstorm phobia. My Cairn Terrier used to freak out, was inconsolable even if it was just raining. *sigh* Charlie's not quite as bad, but he often hides in the bathtub... x(

Checking on meds is a very good idea. :-)

[LoveMyCali]

29. Good Luck MB

He has such a sweet little face! Are you sure you have enough energy for TWO rat terriers? It makes me tired just thinking about it. :-)

[malta blue]

31. hoping they keep each other entertained LMC

He sure does have a face deserving of rescue.

Hard part is the woman who rescued Egypt just pulled 10 dogs and sent me pics of them - told me I don't need to go through all the hoops and of course, I could have my pick. But none of them have a face like this one..... :dilemma:

[LoveMyCali]

33. That's how I ended up with Cali

He just melted my heart with his beautiful blue eyes and his hard luck story.

I'm sure both Egypt and Mickey will be happy to have a playmate.

[malta blue]

34. Egypt sure needs something other than the cat to chew on and

chase :rofl:

[LoveMyCali]

35. It would have to be one brave little terrier

to take on Cali, he weighs almost 18 pounds.

[JMackT]

26. great choice

[malta blue]

28. Thanks and welcome to DU

:hi:

[JMackT]

36. Thanks

:toast:

[JeffR]

30. Fingers crossed here.

Good luck!

[malta blue]

32. many thanks JeffR

I hope we are able to give him his forever home very soon.
