About Toefoo

Meet Toefoo! She’s a 4-year-old purebred Rat Terrier who came into the care of New Rattitude after some trouble with another dog in her previous home. Toefoo arrived quite overweight, but with controlled meals and plenty of outdoor exercise, she has already shed several pounds and now weighs 22 lbs. She aspires to reach a healthy weight of under 20 lbs. Toefoo gets along well with the dogs in her foster home, which is a bustling boarding and daycare facility. She enjoys new friends every day. Crate-trained and house-trained, she has learned to use the dog door and has her meals in her crate. While she sleeps there at night, she’d happily cuddle with you or lounge in a dog bed once adopted. Initially, Toefoo was not leash trained. However, with patience, she now realizes that having her leash on means fun outings with her people. Although she might be spooked by new experiences, she settles down once she trusts you are there to keep her safe. Affectionate and joyful, Toefoo greets her loved ones with a full-body wag and a big smile. Could she be the perfect addition to your family?
