About

Meet Stanley

Stanley is a 4 year old male Rat Terrier mix who weighs in at 17 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $250.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Stanley has a face that will make your heart break. When he looks up at you, you just want to hold him and squeeze him. We do not know a lot about Stanley's past. He was brought into an ER facility by the police department as a hit-by-car. He had several fractures to his pelvis and was unable to walk. Since his initial injury Stanley has full feeling in his backend, is able to wag his tail, and is trying to stand on his own. Stanley will need rehab to help improve his rear end function. Do not let this fact fool you. He gets around on his two legs with no problem. He can be fast when he wants to. He does have a cart, but he is still learning to use it. Stanley has been living with three other dogs and has interacted with multiple other dogs. He is good with other dogs, but he does want to be the center of attention. He would be better in a single dog home, but not completely necessary. He seems to do better with women than men. He would be better off with a woman owner. He can be nervous with people, but he warms up quickly when treats are brought into the mix. He will bond with whoever decides to rescue him and will require lots of love and attention. He is not high energy. He loves to sit next to his person and watch tv or read a book. He wants to be wherever you are. He is not food aggressive or toy aggressive.  Stanley is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered.  This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today!  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
