Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Say hello to Petey! This 6 year-old rat terrier/Chihuahua mix is ready for his forever home. Petey found himself in New Rattitude's care after his owner passed away. His foster family suspects that Petey was the only pet in the home because he craves time next to his human. He is very happy napping on the couch with his people, too. Petey doesn't really like to share his space and attention with other dogs, so an adopter without other dogs would be ideal. If his new family has other dogs, they will need to be sure to manage Petey's desire to keep things to himself. Petey is a great size at 15 lbs. He is certainly active enough for daily walks and adventures, but he is also calm and doesn't need a big yard or tons of exercise. He enjoys toys and will chew on a bone quietly. Best of all? Petey is ready to go: fully house-trained, dog-door trained, and crate-trained!

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.
