Paula Young, the director of Mount Vernon's animal shelter, put out a classified add for "Twin Rat Terrorists; 11 months, adorable, full of fun."

The unlikely description of the 8- to 12-pound, white-butterscotch-and-black short-haired terriers named Jack, Jackie, Milo and Dino, may not seem like a good idea if you want to find a home for the dogs, but so far almost a hundred people have called to ask about the animals.

Young ran the add in the Journal News, where she explains, "They can be little terrors... If you're wearing a pair of slippers that look like bunnies, they'll think it's the greatest thing in the world and they'll attack them."

According to the Associated Press, Young said she's from a military family, didn't think the word "terrorist" would offend anyone and saw nothing wrong with using it to attract attention.
