My story

Gracie is a VERY friendly mixed breed. She is great with all animals and people. Gracie is heartworm positive but is under treatment. Her best little buddy, Chico, is also sweet as pie. The two are inseparable and Gracie loves to groom his face. Chico has a heart murmur but has seen a veterinary cardiologist and does not need medication at this time. He is a doctors will need to keep an eye on his condition. They are low-energy cuddle bugs looking for a home to live out their golden years in.

Why adoption is a great option

Gracie and Chico, a Va Beach Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Va Beach, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Va Beach.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Va Beach 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 Va Beach 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 Va Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.
