My story

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

Hello, Apricot!

Apricot is 14 weeks old and one of Annabell's babies; her father is unknown. She is the runt of the little and weighs in at 4 lbs currently. Apricot was the smallest of her litter but she doesn’t let that slow her down!

Apricot is a pint-sized dog with an enormous personality. We think she may be part kangaroo as she hops everywhere she goes! Apricot was the runt of her litter however, you would never know - she has zero troubles keeping up with anyone. She's sassy enough to take care of herself, but sweet enough to mostly stay out of trouble she absolutely loves attention and loves to play as well as much. She is not a purse dog. She would do better with an active family. She does well with dogs of all sizes and has no issue asserting herself into any situation ! She's very good motivated. She plays hard and sleeps hard. She rides well in a car and walks great on a leash. No toy is a stranger!

Apricot will be considered foster to adopt status until she is old enough to be spayed. She will be fully vetted and up to date on vaccinations by time of adoption. She will also be microchipped prior to adoption being finalized.

Apricot’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.
