My story

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

Dorothy is the epitome of a golden girl. She's sweet when she wants to be and full of snark when she doesn't. She loves playing zoom doggy and gets a mischievous glint in her eye just as you're about to pick her up and she zooms away from you. She may be an old gal, but there's plenty of life left in her. She loves to spend her time with her daughter, Rose, but ultimately, she prefers to cuddle next to you on the couch.

Fee is held for one week during trial adoption. After one week, if adopters decide to add the dog to their family, the money is deposited.

Additional adoption info

We do our best to ensure our dogs and their families are happy. We don't believe the adoption process ends once you sign the contract. We are always here to help with any pet questions you may have and we host pet events for our adopters as a chance for their pets to socialize and provide a network of support.

Go meet their pets

We hold periodic meet and greet events in Columbia, MO and our adoptable pets are always available to meet by appointment.

More about this rescue

Chihuahuas are a very unique breed. They are funny, loving, and incredibly affectionate. We believe that every chihuahua deserves a warm lap, cuddles, and love and it is our goal in finding families for each and every dog that comes into our rescue. It is also our goal to provide education to others on the breed, as chihuahuas often get stereotyped as yappy and aggressive. We hope to show our local communities that, with proper training, chihuahuas can be calm and well-behaved pets, suitable for any home.
