At
Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue, Inc., we are dedicated to finding
the best possible home for each Chihuahua and small dog we have
in our care. Also, we are committed to good health and quality
of life for each and every little one that we rescue. All of our
little furry friends are placed in healthy, safe and loving
foster homes and, therefore, are not housed in a shelter
situation.
Our Rescue's mission does not end with just placing dogs in new
homes. We work hard to educate the public on how to meet the
needs of small dogs and how to avoid abusive and neglectful
situations with these little pets.
Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue, Inc. is an all-volunteer
organization. No one is paid for their wonderful dedication to
the homeless, abused and neglected Chihuahuas and small dogs
that come into our organization. We will not turn away a dog
because it is injured, ill or elderly. Our seniors and special
needs dogs will make a wonderful addition to your family, so
please also consider the adoption of one of our extra-special
little ones.
When we receive a little one, he/she will receive all medical
care that is needed. Prior to adoption, our little ones are
spay/neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, fecal tested
and have had all their veterinary needs met. If necessary and prior
to adoption, we provide treatment for heartworms, luxating
patellas, dental work, parvo, etc.
The dogs you see on our
website, are living in our homes as loved members of our
families. They beg at the table at meals, sleep in our beds,
snuggle in our laps while we watch TV, go for rides in the car,
chase the mop, and happily celebrate our return home, even after
just taking out the garbage!!! We are not a shelter. We keep the
foster dogs in our homes and give them lots of TLC. During this
time, we evaluate the dog's temperament, socialization and
health. We want the best possible match for the dog and the
adopting human.
Forgive us if we seem to be intrusive when you apply to adopt a
dog. We are extremely picky in choosing homes for our little
ones. Once they become foster members of our family, we treat
them as we do our own pets. We want our foster dogs to go to the
home that best suits them. Although we don’t always have a
history on the dog’s past or know how it got to the shelter, we
do have a sense of its character and needs. If you see a little
one that you'd like to adopt, please fill out an
adoption
application. We get quite a few applications, so please be
patient with us as we are all volunteers and work full time
jobs. We do get back to each and every person.
If
we feel that you would be a good match for one of our little
ones, we will phone or email you and make an appointment for a
home visit. We generally do not adopt our little ones to
families with children under the age of 6.
For more information about our
adoption process, please go to our
adoption process page.
