Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Lana is a senior gal looking for a cozy place to land. She looks forward to becoming a lap dog and joining her person on slow, easy walks. Lana is low maintenance and enjoys long naps. She would do best in a home as an only pet or with gentle children and an older dog. Playful energetic dogs are a bit too much for this old lady. Lana can be timid and needs time to build trust. A slow, gentle touch will go a long way as she settles in. She'll reward your patience by climbing in your lap and giving you gentle licks on your hand. Lana is working on losing a few extra pounds and will receive a dental cleaning in foster. She is housetrained. She is about 12 years old, and currently about 14 pounds. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Lana is $200. If you are interested in adopting Lana, please complete our online adoption application at .gratefuldogsrescue/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at .gratefuldogsrescue/available-dogs/

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.
