New Addtion:

Veronica Fuller – “Well after looking at both basenji rescues and rat terrier rescues I got a rescued rat terrier from Ratbone rescue. She was flown in by plane from Maryland to Glens Falls NY Saturday Sept 27. Bella is 7 years old, can be left alone in the house, loves people, ok with dogs and cats. Some of her habits do remind me of the late Micki basenji - the way she runs after squirrels, using her paw to get my attention, the way she stares at me and how she sleeps with me. Here she is looking at squirrels.”
