About Judy

Judy is a sweet senior dog in search of a peaceful home where she can soak up love and attention. Having been adopted four years ago, she was returned due to her owner's move to assisted living. Judy prefers a quiet environment and is best suited for a home without young children, as she's accustomed to relaxing beside her human on soft furniture. While she is trained to use pee pads indoors, she enjoys going outside when given the chance. This adorable Rat Terrier, at around 10 years old, deserves a cozy spot in your heart and home. Judy has a history of regular veterinary care and was clearly cherished by her previous owner. With her gentle demeanor and short coat, she promises to be a lovely companion. Adopt Judy and provide her with the safe and loving environment she needs.
