A New Addition To Our Family

To everyone who has been asking to see pictures of our new dog ECO, you can stop asking now because I am posting pictures of him!


Annie and I adopted Eco from a program called UnderDog Rescue. He was a stray and taken by Minneapolis animal control about 6 weeks ago. UnderDog Rescue quickly took him from animal control before he was euthanized and put him with a foster family where he was nursed back to health. He was extremely thin, had frostbite on this snout and had a pretty bad infection, and showed all the signs of abandonment and abuse. Annie and I had been looking for a small dog for some time, and when we found Eco, we knew he was ours!


Eco is a Toy Rat Terrier, weighs about 10lbs, and is 8 months old. He takes a little bit to warm up to new people, which is expected given his past… but once he learns that you are not going to hurt him he will be your best friend. He has a wonderful temperament and is extremely loyal. He never lets us out of his sight. Eco loves balls and never gets sick of fetch! We have only had him for about a week now, and he is wonderful! He love to cuddle and his most favorite thing in the world is to be held. Even more than playing fetch! He wakes us up promptly at 6:00am to go to the bathroom, and then is ready to play. He certainly is the best alarm clock we have ever owned.
