My story

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

Tuco is ready for a forever that will be his LAST Stop. He lost his home and has not been in a stable place since then. He has been in a few different homes and its clear he's a little bit sad. He keeps his chin up though, and he is ready to receive all the pets and treats and love. Tuco is good in his foster home with other pets of different ages and sizes, His house manners are pretty good which is great considering the lack of consistency he's had. Tuco is a lovely little soul, very gentle and very sweet.
This is a great little guy that at this stage of his life needs and deserves a loving family to appreciate his laid back nature. He needs a soft pillow and a spot in the sun to relax and be your best buddy! Tuco is vaccinated and neutered, He will get his teeth cleaned soon, He had a thorough exam at the vet and is healthy. His adoption fee is $375. He can participate in the Seniors for Seniors and the Pets for Vets adoption programs.

Additional adoption info

**If you are unable to pay the adoption fee ($250 and up), we are unable to place a dog in your care. Being unable to meet the financial obligations of pet care (recurrent or emergent) is one of many reasons why so many of these pets end up in rescue. It's not lack of love.**
We require an adoption application, and then we will check references. We also check with vets. If the person is not LOCAL then we will partner with a local animal control to complete a home visit.
There are adoption fees associated with the costs of veterinary care of the pet. We require an adoption contract to be signed to finalize the adoption process and we have an agreement that all our pets are to be Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. pets for LIFE. In other words, in the event that they can not stay in their adoptive home, they are not to be surrendered to another individual or rescue.

We hold adoption events at local Petsmarts, Specks, various other local venues mentioned on our website and social media. The dates are fluid and they do coincide with the nationally advertised adoption events at the locales.

More about this rescue

Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. is a non profit, all volunteer rescue working with Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. The pets are housed in individual volunteer foster homes, not kennels or shelters until they are adopted permanently. We get to know our animals and therefore can tell the potential adopter what the traits of the animal are and what home would be the best for the pet. We are dedicated to the adoption, education, rescue and transportation of the Chihuahua breed. We believe that every Chihuahua deserves a loving home.
