Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. **MEET ME AT OUR 2/28 ADOPTION EVENT IN DORCHESTER!** Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT Good with dogs: Yes, with proper intros Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes Good with kids: Unknown, likely yes Crate trained: Mostly House Trained: Mostly Peanut is friendly and affectionate, a real little sweetheart! He has a low energy level and would make a wonderful companion since he likes nothing better than being with his person, whatever they are doing. After a slow warm-up, Peanut gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being a part of the pack. He has not met cats or kids yet, but would likely get along with both if given the space he needs to become comfortable with them first. Peanut is mostly crate trained, but still needs encouragement to go inside since he would rather be with his person. He is house trained when kept on a regular schedule and he will need some more practice at leash walking. Peanut has lots of love to give a lucky family! If you're looking for a dog who will be happy to be wherever you are, Peanut is your guy! Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.

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.
