A Little Off: Dog of the Week

Sure, I walk sideways, but that's part of my charm.

Good day!

My name is Sebastian; after all, a little rat terrier like me needs a big name.  Like our , I’m another true rescue. While I’m not as old as my pal Omar, I do have a disability so that makes me extra special.

When I was a younger lad, I developed quite a back problem and as a result, I had my back fused. I’m no longer in any pain, but I do walk a bit sideways, not quite like our Maryland blue crab though. Even though I walk funny, I still love going on walks! Once on a leash I’ll wiggle and walk all around which does make it just about impossible to get a good picture of me.

I would love a quieter home where I would make a great companion and lap dog. A nice quiet home would be a dream come true! Do I mind cats you might wonder? Well, it is a bit embarrassing being about half the size of a cat but I could learn to share.

Please stop by today to meet me!
