We had a great experience with Roxanne at Usona Rat Terriers! She was very timely and personable in replying to our questions about her available Rat Terriers. My husband, Greg, and I drove from Riverside, California to meet up with Roxanne and our beautiful 3 month old girl. We were so thankful for Roxanne’s knowledge and kindness. We have had “Molly Mae” for almost one month now and she has brought happiness and joy to our home. Thank you, Roxanne, for the 7th Rat Terrier in our lives. She’s perfect!
