About Little Debbie

Meet Little Debbie, a gentle five-year-old Toy Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier mix in Amherst, MA. Her golden and white coat reflects the warmth she brings to any space. Weighing around 15 pounds, she has an adorable way of becoming your shadow, following you throughout the day. Sensitive and deeply connected, Little Debbie bonds quickly with her humans and provides comfort just by being near, especially during quiet moments. Her personality blends calm with playful energy. She enjoys one daily walk of 30 to 45 minutes, after which she’s content to cuddle, play with her favorite toys, or tackle enrichment puzzles. Perching by the window to watch the world is one of her favorite pastimes. Little Debbie knows commands like sit and shake, and she’s eager to keep learning with positive reinforcement. Friendly with new people, children, and other dogs, her excitement can lead to some enthusiastic barking and energetic leash behavior. Continued training will help with this. While she is good with children, a household with adults or older kids would help her feel more at ease. She's adaptable but would benefit from a routine and refreshing her potty training habits. Little Debbie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and recently received a clean bill of health. She has a luxating patella that will require mindful care. A balanced routine will help her shed a few extra pounds as she thrives in a nurturing environment. A quieter home with a fenced yard would help her feel secure and loved.
