From Pet Haven Inc. of MN

Sugar Plum is a 12-year-old Rat Terrier with a tiny body, a big personality, and a serious love for snuggles. At just 10 pounds, she’s happiest curled up in your arms or cozied next to you on the couch. She’s a spunky little senior who will absolutely make sure she’s included in whatever you’re doing (preferably from your lap).This sweet girl has been through a lot, but now that her medical needs are managed, her joyful personality is shining. She is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, which she handles like a pro. She’s also mostly blind and has only one eye, so she’ll need a little help navigating new spaces—but she learns her environment quickly and even responds to cues like “careful.” She also only has a few teeth left, so she’ll need wet or softened food for life (which she is VERY enthusiastic about), and often wakes up with her tongue hanging out.Sugar Plum is fully house trained and sleeps peacefully in her playpen at night. She settles well when left alone, especially with a treat or two. She’s not much of a barker unless she needs something—like being picked up now, thank you very much—or if meal service is taking too long.She’s unfazed by other dogs…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
