Rat Terriers are scrappy, smart, and tenacious small farm dogs originally bred for vermin control. They appear in rescue when their energy and prey drive surprise families. A rescued Rat Terrier is a sturdy, affectionate companion for an active home.
Louisiana has one of the highest rescue dog populations in the country, with active organizations throughout New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport.
