Andru, the Dog of the Day
Name: Andru
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Rat Terrier mix
Home: Gainesville, Florida, USA
 
   Hi my name is Andru a.k.a. Andy, Andy Poo, Phatty, etc. I am a Rat Terrier mix. I used to look like a pure breed when I was a puppy but my "muttness" is starting to show now.

    I was born on November 14, 2005. My doggie Mom lost my older brother while giving birth to him, so my foster parents did a C-section to save me. I was very spoiled by my foster parents as you can imagine. They took great care of me until my human Mommy adopted me from the amazing rescue they volunteer for; Ratbone Rescues. She saw my picture online and felt in love with me right away.

    My Mommy was told I would be less than six pounds when full grown, but I am over twelve pounds now. I am not too good as a Rat Terrier either since I am not a ratter, I would never hurt a rat, indeed I like rats a lot and I used to play with a little rat named Binky when I was puppy (Video). Don't worry, I never hurt her, and she didn't even bite me! My Mommy jokes and says that I am "broken" and that she's going to return me but I know she would never do that! I was the cutest puppy ever she says, but now I am even cuter and too smart for my own good. I look like I am seriously concerned all the time, which makes me look even wiser.

    My Mommy was a cat person until she met me and I surely changed that. When I was adopted, she already had two big cats; Fiona and Keeran. After me, the family became huge since we adopted two more puppies for me! The first one was another Rat Terrier from Ratbone Rescues named Kenyi (Kengee) who is a crazy ball of energy. I am definitely more laid back. Then we got a tiny Chihuahua named Peppy, from a rescue where my Mommy volunteers; Puppy Hill Farm. I adore my two little brothers and I could not be happier!

    I am the sweetest, best behaved little doggie ever. My Mommy adores me to pieces and I surely love her back, for her, I am the Dog of the Day, every day!
