My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

These dogs are being fostered in Dallas TX and must be adopted within the Dallas, North Central Texas or the southern Oklahoma area.

NAME: Batman and Robin
GENDER: Males (Neutered)
AGE: Born March 17, 2020
WEIGHT: Both are about 11 pounds
DOGS/CATS: Great with other small dogs, Good with cats
CHILDREN: Should do well with older, mature children (10 and older)

Meet Batman and Robin. These two brothers make the perfect dynamic duo. They are super sweet and are inseparable. They are there for one another, and will be there for you too! They both have sweet souls and are looking for a family who will love them and nurture them as they grow up together.

Batman and Robin were originally adopted by a Good Samaritan in Houston TX when they were being given away for free in a Walmart parking lot. A sweet lady came to their rescue, scooped them up, brought them home and they began growing up together. We were contacted about a month ago by the owner. She unfortunately has a critical illness herself and is about to move into a hospice situation. One of her biggest concerns was making sure Batman and Robin were taken care of the rest of their lives. We immediately agreed to bring them into our program and our volunteer team made the 10 hour round trip to Houston to bring them to Dallas. They are very bonded. Batman and Robin are a great duo, and we are committed to finding a forever home where they can stay together. We wish their original owner all the best as she battles her illness.

Batman and Robin are happy dogs. They get along well with the other small dog in their foster home. They enjoy playing together and will run and romp through the house and outdoors. There is a cat in their foster home and they get along with the cat. They are curious and interested in the cat. Sometimes they will bark a little at the cat, but so far there has been no chasing! Batman and Robin also enjoy toys. Their favorite is the rope toy. They love to play tug of war with each other. And often they will both grab an end of the rope and run through the yard in unison with the rope in their mouths! They also love ball toys. Batman and Robin enjoy being out in the backyard. This spring weather is allowing them more trips outside where they show their joy by running crazy 8’s in the yard! When these siblings are done playing, they crash for a nap. You can often find them snuggled together in the same bed with their heads laying on each other!

Batman and Robin love their family. When they first arrived, they were a bit shy. We can all understand that since they had only lived in one home since they were 4 weeks old! But they warmed up within about 24 hours and are now the biggest love bugs! They love to hang with you in whatever room you are in so they don’t miss any family fun. When you are ready to relax, they are ready too. They both love to cuddle. They will both climb up on top of you and share your love. They are often intertwined on their foster Daddy’s lap! They also love to be on his chest! They just melt when they are with you. This warms our hearts so much. Note that sometimes as they are following you around, they can get close to your feet, and thus be a tripping hazard.

Both Batman and Robin are super smart. They are almost completely potty trained. They do well going potty outside as long as their family keeps them on a consistent schedule. At night, these siblings sleep together in an oversized doggie crate. They both enjoy daily walks.

Batman and Robin were born into the same litter on March 17, 2020 (St Patrick’s day babies!). So they are now 13 months old. They are young and have boundless energy. Both weigh about 11 pounds which is a great size for them. Batman is black with white paws and a white chest. Robin is black with a wisp of white on his chest. We know they are very bonded and we will be adopting them together so they can spend their lives together in one family.

These siblings are both adorable. We think they would do better in a home with a yard. They will alert when they hear strange sounds. So they are not be a good fit for an apartment where noises are more magnified. They also love to explore and run in the yard – it is their happy place. Both Batman and Robin love people and would be a good fit for any active, fun household. There are no children in their foster home, but we believe they would be great with older, mature children 10 and older.

Batman and Robin are being fostered in the Dallas, Texas area. If they sound like the new best friends you’ve been looking for, please fill out an application! Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/

Batman and Robin are spayed / neutered, micro chipped, up-to-date on shots, HW negative and on heartworm prevention. They are ready to join a loving family – could that family be yours?

These dog are CRT rescues. Reference checks, adoption contract and $649.50 adoption donation required for the pair ($300 adoption donation and $24.75 Texas Sales Tax for each -> $649.50 total). Note: as of 1-1-20, the Texas State Comptroller office is requiring all rescue groups to collect sales tax on adoptions, even though we are all 501c3. We are all fighting this, but for now, have been told it is non-negotiable.

As part of our mission to reduce the number of unwanted and sick dogs, we require that all current pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and taking heart worm prevention. Applications will not be considered if one or more of these requirements are not met.

After filling out an adoption application (found at http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/), please email DFWCoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com if you are interested in this dog. Please be sure to read about our adoption process and then fill out an adoption application before emailing the contact person.
