Introducing Chata, a delightful 2 1/2-year-old mixed breed weighing in at a perfect 51 pounds. She has subtle black accents in her light coat, especially noticeable in the markings on her ears, and a happy smile, bright eyes and a heartwarming nature. Chata is a true play enthusiast, making her the perfect companion for an active family or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures. Her love for toys is unmatched. She is excellent with other dogs, but it is best to bring all two- and four-legged siblings to a meet- and-greet before adopting. Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Chata has been spayed and microchipped and is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations. She is housed at the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so you’ll need an appointment to meet her. To do that, just find her profile at SPCA.org/Dogs and click on the make an appointment button.
