THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN LOUISIANA AND WILL COME TO CANADA WITH AN ACCEPTED ADOPTION CONTRACT. PUPPIES UNDER THE AGE OF 8 MONTHS CANNOT COME TO CANADA WITHOUT AN APPROVED ADOPTER. You will not be able to meet your puppy ahead of pick up date - Rat Terrier Rescue Canada will attempt to provide you with as many pictures and videos as possible between a confirmed adoption and pick up.


Meet Teddy! Teddy is an adorable 3-month-old (born in November 2025), male Chihuahua mix weighing just 3 pounds — tiny in size but bursting with personality!

This little guy is full of energy and always ready to play, explore, and then snuggle up for cuddle time.

Teddy loves his food and treats and is currently working on potty training using pads. He’ll also be starting crate training soon to help him continue building great habits.

He enjoys being outside to play and will definitely need plenty of toys to chew on to keep his curious little mind busy.

Sweet, spirited, and full of love, Teddy is ready for anything — especially a forever home where he can share his big personality and even bigger heart. 💕
Could Teddy be your perfect little companion?
