My story

GENDER: Male (Neutered)

WEIGHT: About 8 pounds
DOGS/CATS: Good with other dogs, Unknown with cats
CHILDREN: Recommend an all adult home

Meet Mikey, a high energy puppy who loves life. This guy loves to play, sleep and cuddle. He is a sweetheart and cannot wait to find his forever home.

In early June of 2020, we were contacted by a family wanting to surrender their Chihuahua. She had not received vet work during her first year of her life and ended up pregnant. The family asked to surrender her to us. We were happy to accept her into our program and helped her through the birth of her puppies. Mikey was one of her puppies, born on June 16th via C-section. He has all his vet work completed and is ready for a forever home for himself.

Mikey gets along well with the other small dogs in his foster home. Note that he is showing leadership qualities, and likes to be the leader. The other dogs in his foster home are more laid back and will let him take the lead. This works well for him. So we recommend a home where he could be the alpha. Mikey loves to run in the yard. He is fascinated with bugs, sticks, and even frogs! Mikey LOVES toys of all kinds. He especially loves to play with balls and squeaky toys. One of his favorite things to do is to play “fetch” with his humans. He is still a puppy and has a high puppy play energy level. He is adventurous and loves life.

When Mikey is done playing, he crashes for a nap. You can often find him snuggled together with one of his foster siblings in the same bed with their heads laying on each other! Or he will find soft blankets and dig in!

Mikey loves his family. He loves to hang with you in whatever room you are in so he doesn’t miss any family fun. When you are ready to relax, he is ready too. He loves to cuddle. Mikey will climb up next to you and share your love. Mikey has a fun personality and will provide comic relief for the entire family! He is as sweet as he can be. We cannot wait to see how he grows and matures as he continues to settle in. If you want some snuggle time every night, Mikey wants to volunteer for the job.

Mikey is super smart. He is completely potty trained. He will go potty outside, and knows how to use pee pee pads as a backup on rainy days. Mikey sleeps in a doggie bed at night. He is also leash trained and enjoys daily walks.

Mikey was born on June 16, 2020. He is primarily white with darker tan highlights. We love the tan mask that covers his face. Mikey has sparkling hazel eyes and fabulous ears. Mikey is about 8 pounds and is fully grown. We believe Mikey would do well in a home with a yard. He loves to explore and run in the yard. Because of his high energy and playfulness, we do not believe he is apartment appropriate. Mikey is not a big barker, but will bark when someone comes to the door, walks in his yard, etc (he will make great watch dogs!). Mikey loves people and would be a good fit for any active, fun household. He is a little nervous around children, and for that reason we recommend an all adult home. We think he would be a great only dog as long as his family has an active lifestyle.

Mikey is being fostered in the Dallas, Texas area. If he sounds like the new best friend 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/

Mikey is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. He is ready to join a loving family – could that family be yours?

This dog is a CRT rescue. Reference checks, adoption contract and $378.88 adoption donation required ($350 adoption donation and $28.88 Texas Sales Tax fee.) 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.
