Meet Nelson, affectionately known as Woody, a lively and lovable Rat Terrier and Mountain Cur mix! At just 20 pounds, this small adult male with a short, tan-and-white coat is bursting with personality. Woody is the perfect blend of affectionate, curious, friendly, funny, gentle, loyal, playful, smart, athletic, and brave—making him an ideal companion for someone ready to match his energy and love for life.

Woody’s Story
Born on May 19, 2023, Woody was adopted as a young puppy but returned due to behavioral issues stemming from his high energy not being properly channeled. With structure and plenty of playtime—especially fetch—Woody has blossomed into a well-adjusted, super-sweet dog who adores people. He currently enjoys small dog daycare but would thrive best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the attention. Whether he’s chasing a ball, riding in the car, or snuggling on your lap, Woody is all about spreading joy and being your loyal sidekick.
Ideal Home
Woody would be a great fit for an active home that can keep up with his playful and athletic nature. He gets along well with other dogs in structured settings like daycare but would prefer to be the only pet at home. Woody loves car rides, walks, and lap time, making him a versatile companion for someone who enjoys both adventure and cozy moments. A home with no other pets is ideal to help him feel secure and loved.
