About Currant
Currant is a 15-year-old, 10lb rat terrier mix with a calm, gentle presence. She settles best in a quiet home, far from city noise—think suburbs or the country. Currant arrived timid and observant, preferring her crate sanctuary, but steadily warms up with patience (and treats). Her routine includes following her fosters around at mealtimes, then returning to the comfort of her crate once she's had enough of the world. Currant is house trained for outdoor potty breaks but will use wee pads if needed. She’s quiet, enjoys peace, and is happiest with adults who let her decompress at her own pace. Currant gets along with mellow dogs and coexists nicely with cats but would rather keep to herself than play. She does best in a home with respectful adults, as young, energetic kids or dogs might overwhelm her. Walks on leash are stressful for her—she prefers short yard breaks and a consistent, low-key environment. She is content to nap alone and is not a lap dog, but relaxes nearby once she trusts you. She uses her crate as her safe space and is no trouble to crate when needed. Currant’s veterinary care is up to date, she’s spayed, and adopters should be ready for the extra considerations that come with a senior dog, like annual checkups and likely dental needs.
