Steve's Story...
This little sweetheart is Steve, a chihuahua that is just over a year old and would love a great home to call his own. Steve came to us with several of his friends from Virginia when they were removed from a hoarding situation. Little Stevie was a bit shy at first, but he has learned to trust people and has made lots of new friends. Steve is such a sweet little guy. He walks very well on a leash and is a perfect little gentleman. Steve gets along well with other dogs and just loves everyone he meets once he gets to know them. He would love a nice, quiet home to spend his life in, with a family that loves him and will care for him forever. 12/23/12 File#22175

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Steve, a Forked River Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Forked River, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Forked River.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Forked River already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Forked River breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Forked River paves the way for another one to be saved.
