Welcome to The Puppy Depot online.  When you adopt a puppy, we want you to know that you have made the right choice—one that will be a faithful companion for life. You will be given a copy of “Proof of Ownership,”  shot records, and a health guarantee.  We promise to make your visit fun, worthwhile, with a professional transaction to help you make your puppy’s transition to your home a great experience.  If you are trying to make a decision on adopting a Rat Terrier, we invite you to visit us and our family of Rat Terriers.  Please note that we are not a puppy mill. We also have dog accessories on site for your convenience; some items handmade.

Canine Information
We only raise and breed Rat Terriers. Our sires and dames are on heart worm prevention.  Our puppies are wormed, vaccinated, and begin heart worm prevention on the order of a licensed veterinarian. We use Interceptor Flavor Tabs (milbemycin oxime).  The flavored once-a-month tablet that prevents heartworm disease, controls adult hookworms, and removes and controls adult roundworm and whipworm infections in dogs and puppies.  

Our Rat Terriers were adopted from reputable breeders and we have raised them from six weeks old as our pets. It takes approximately 1-1/2 years to raise a puppy for breeding and we use this time to train and socialize.  Litters are UKC registered.  They have been acclimated to indoors and outdoors, socialized with people and other pets. 

Our Rat Terriers are mostly tri-colored (black, white, brown).  We occasionally have an all white puppy with very few tan markings or brown and white. You can see our Rat Terriers using the site map or Photo and Video links.  We do not have any colors other than we have stated.  We take debit and credit cards using PayPal. You do not have to have a Paypal account to use this feature.
