Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 450. Noah is a sweet girl who was found as a stray with a litter of newborn puppies and very hungry and sick. She's been resting, healing and soaking up all the love in her Texan foster home and is now ready for her big adventure to Minnesota to find her own home! She can adapt quickly, but will need some patience as she settles into her new life. Noah is hilarious when stalking squirrels, she moves very slow and carefully like a little huntress. She needs some practice to not jump up when she is excited, she loves everyone and is eager to say hello and make new friends. She is going through Heartworm treatment, see below for more information. This playful and affectionate girl deserves the world! Come meet her and see if it's a match. Noah is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 1/10/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about this program.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Rat-Cha, a charming crossbreed between the Chihuahua and Rat Terrier, offers a spirited companion with a unique blend of its parent breeds' best traits. Originating from the desire to combine the Chihuahua's affectionate nature with the Rat Terrier's intelligence and robustness, this hybrid is gaining popularity. Physically, Rat-Chas are typically small to medium-sized, weighing between 6 and 15 pounds, with a short, easy-to-care-for coat that can vary widely in color. They often possess expressive eyes and a sturdy build, reflecting their terrier lineage. Temperamentally, they are known for being alert, playful, and loyal, often forming strong bonds with their families. While they can be vocal, early socialization and training can mitigate this. Their adaptable size makes them well-suited for both apartment living and homes with yards, and they can be wonderful additions to active families, though supervision is wise with very young children due to their smaller stature. Health-wise, like many small breeds, they can be prone to dental issues and patellar luxation, so regular vet check-ups are important.
