Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. Mr. Brown is overall, just a great dog. He is silly, laidback, but also playful. He really matches the energy of dogs he meets. We've seen him go from couch potato to zoomies in the yard, depending on the dog he is with. He is a confident dog. He's been overlooked for a while, even though he is quite small with long legs. He has a cute spiral tail and a faint brindle coat. It's hard to get pictures of his ears up since he's always smiling and wagging his tail. He came in from northern Louisiana with a female dog and 4 pups. He was very sweet with the pups and was very nurturing and loving toward them. The pups have been adopted and Mr. Brown is hoping he'll be next! Mr. Brown is fixed, up to date on vaccines. Mr. Brown tested positive for heartworm and has begun treatment. We are looking for a foster to complete his treatment here in NJ with 2 visits to Barnegat Animal Clinic in June. His adoption fee will be $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving , committed home.

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.
