AY CHIHUAHUA RESCUE's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our adoption fees ensure your new family member will come to you:
* Fully vaccinated - including Rabies
* Spay/Neutered
* Heartworm free and on prevention
* Wormed
* Microchipped
* Behavior tested with honest assessments provided to all adopters
* All known medical conditions will be fully disclosed.
Lifetime commitment from ACR is included with all adoptions! We are on call and at your service for the lifetime of your new dog. Continuing education and community resource identification is provided at no charge to all adoptive families.
In our ongoing efforts to provide the safest environment possible for our adoptable Chihuahuas, ACR does not adopt to households with children under the age of six without a home visit and special approval. If we feel a particular Chihuahua is good with children and has been behavior tested around children, we will make special note of it in their profiles. Placement of these exceptional Chihuahuas still requires special approval for households with very young children. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your interest in the dogs of ACR!
1. For the safety of our dogs, we do not adopt to families with children under the age of six without special authorization and a home visit.
2. We primarily adopt our dogs to homes in the State of Texas with rare exceptions made for out-of-state adoptions.
3. There are times when more than one person wants the same dog. We take multiple applications on each dog and make every effort to match the right dog with the right family. There may be times when the dog that you are interested in may not be the right match for you and/or your family. If that is the case, please know that it is not necessarily a reflection on you or your ability to love and care for a dog. We base our placement decisions on the specific needs of each of our dogs.
4. There is an adoption fee of $195 for adult dogs, $240 for puppies, and $165 for dogs 11+ years of age. We are a non-profit organization and all of the fees that are collected go directly to the care of our dogs. We are entirely staffed by volunteers and there are no paid organization members.
5. Completing an application does not insure approval for adoption from our organization. Ay Chihuahua Rescue reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone for any reason.
6. We do not adopt our dogs to homes that have intact (not neutered or not spayed) animals. Additionally, all resident pets must be up to date on vaccination and on regular heartworm preventative which will be verified by your veterinarian or actual receipts from online purchases or local clinics.
Ay Chihuahua Rescue does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, or disability and reserves the exclusive right to deny any adoption application for any reason we feel endangers the safety of the pet.

About AY CHIHUAHUA RESCUE
Ay Chihuahua Rescue (ACR) is an all volunteer-based rescue group, whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Chihuahuas in Central Texas. ACR is funded by the generous donations of our community and adoption fees. ACR is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Our love of the Chihuahua breed urged us to action when the plea for a breed specific rescue group was placed. Chihuahuas have the second highest euthanasia rate in Central Texas and it is our belief this is due to overpopulation. We strive not only to rescue, but to owner-educate and provide spay/neuter options where available. We are truly committed to humane education and being a positive resource for the Central Texas Community.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
