My story

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

Are you looking for the perfect mate to play fetch? Does your dog need a playmate or maybe you are just looking for a companion to keep up with you! If so, Anchovy is the right pup for you!

Anchovy is a 9 pound, 14 week old puppy. His mother is Annabella, who is also up for adoption currently through CRT. His father is unknown. Decidedly not a Chihuahua, Anchovy is likely a retriever mix.

Anchovy is very eager to please and is also very intelligent. Anchovy would do really well in a home with any size dog who would love to have a companion. He's very submissive and would do really well with someone who's looking to teach a dog to do new tricks. He can be a little on the scared side at first, but he opens up quickly. Anchovy’s favorite things include fetching tennis balls and bringing them back to you, toys, running, and playing with his foster four-legged friends. He enjoys snuggling under a blanket. He is excellent on a leash, however can sometimes get distracted. He would need some reassurance because even though he is a bigger- small dog, he still definitely has lots of fears. Anchovy would be a wonderful addition to a home looking for someone to love. Anchovy rides well in a car, loves to go on adventures, and is ready for a family of his own!

Anchovy will be available as foster to adopt, meaning that an adoption will not be considered finalized until Anchovy is neutered when he is old enough to do so.

Anchovy’s adoption donation is $350.

If you are interested in the above dog, please do not email us and tell us that you are interested, but submit an adoption application. The link for the application is below.

To submit an application go here……chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/

An application must be submitted and approved before a meet-n-greet can be scheduled.

Your current dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered unless a veterinarian has determined that your current pet(s) should not be fixed due to medical reasons. They must also be up-to-date on shots and on HW preventative.

Reference checks and a home visit are required so SE dogs can only be adopted in NC/SC, VA, TN, AL, MD and GA.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in one of our dogs, please submit an application.

We require an adoption application, reference checks and home visit before adoption.

We also require that all current pets be UTD on shots, on HW preventative and spayed/neutered. Adoption fee is $250.00 for Chi's over 1 year of age and $300 for Chi's under 1 year of age. Other adoption listings are priced as is.

We do not set up a meet-n-greet with a dog without an approved application and a completed home visit. The process starts with an application on line and when the application and references have been checked, a home visit is required. After the HV report has been reviewed by our board, a meet-n-greet will be set up.
