Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Sally – A Gentle Soul Looking for Someone to Believe in Her At just 1 year old and 24 pounds, Sally is a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix with a tender heart that's waiting to bloom in the right home.Sally arrived at the shelter with another small female dog who has since found her forever family. Being left behind has been especially hard on this sensitive girl. The shelter is a big, noisy, and overwhelming place for a dog who is naturally shy. When Sally first arrived, she was very fearful of people. But thanks to the patience and dedication of volunteers who have spent consistent time earning her trust, she has made incredible progress. Once Sally knows you're safe, her true personality begins to shine. She'll happily curl up in your lap, sit close beside you, and on walks she'll stay right by your side, finding comfort in being near her favorite person. Sally is looking for a calm, quiet home with someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. She would do best with someone who is home much of the time and can give her the patience, space, and reassurance she needs to continue building her confidence. Every small victory with Sally is incredibly rewarding, and watching her learn to trust is something truly special.If you're the kind of person who believes that the best relationships are built slowly, Sally may be the perfect companion for you. She isn't looking for perfection—just someone who will love her exactly as she is and help her discover that the world isn't such a scary place after all. Could you be the person who gives Sally the happy ending she's been waiting for?

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.
