Lil Bugger is a small Rat Terrier mix—just about 10 pounds—who takes his time warming up to people. He's two years old, and while he's careful around strangers at first, patience pays off with him. Give him a calm, steady environment, and he'll start to relax and let more of his personality show. He really benefits from having other dogs around; their company helps boost his confidence and comfort. Lil Bugger will need an adopter who understands that he'll move at his own speed and values consistency and gentle encouragement. Underneath his initial caution is a genuinely loyal little companion waiting for someone willing to earn his trust. If you can take things slow and let him set the pace, you'll see his true, affectionate character emerge. Your patience could bring out the best in him. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
