Zucchini Squash can’t wait to meet you! This sweet and playful girl is very smart and very precious! We are thinking pretty Zucchini is a Rat Terrier mix. Zucchini's foster mom says she's a little timid and reserved but is making great progress socializing with her mom's family and friends. She plays well with other dogs and loves being outside playing with toys and bones. She’s super sweet and gentle and loves her crate!    She is making great progress with kids and think she would be great for a family with school age kids but is still a little nervous being picked up.  She loves toys and are happy to chill with a ball when not playing with you!  Zucchini is a fetch pro! She loves fetch with tennis balls! She is working hard on house training and walking on the leash but still needs a little more practice. She is a smart girl and basic group training classes is recommended to help her learn commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! Zucchini would love to find a forever family that has lots of time and patience to raise a puppy properly, and who has lots of extra time for loving and cuddles. If you are looking for a puppy, Zucchini, or one of her littermates may be perfect for you! Fill out an application today and let her know that you'd love to have her join your family! Squash Pups’ story: Their pregnant mom was found as a stray. A loving family took her in where she had her litter. They are now living with a loving foster family and doing great! Medical Note:  This dog is being treated/has been treated for demodectic mange, a non-contagious skin condition. The dog has responded well to this treatment and is ready for adoption, though may still have some bald patches and/or thin fur in places.  Please note that demodex can flare up in any dog in times of stress (eg, transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption for adults or until 18 months of age for puppies.  Please see here for more information on demodectic mange and talk with your Adoption Counselor about this condition.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website:  Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org) **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
