My story

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

Molly is a 1 year old 11 pound chihuahua that came from a horrific hoarding house in Mexico. She is very scared of everyone, except her foster mom. It took 3 days for her to warm up to her. Once she knows you and you give her treats, she will let her guard down. She is very puppy, loves to play with other dogs, loves toys, loves to sit by her foster mom and be petted and gets the zoomies quite often. Right now Molly is puppy pad trained for the most part. She needs to be slowly trained to go outside. Right now if you put a collar or harness on her she will shut down. When her foster mom put a collar on her, she hid from her for two days.Given how scared Molly is, no young children or busy households. Also, no cats as she chases them.- You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal.

Please complete the adoption application located on our website: https://smalldogsminnesota.org/adoption-application/
- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.
- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes. Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.
- You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request.

More about this rescue

Small Dog Rescue of Minnesota (SDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer no-kill group committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of dogs 20 pounds and under.

Dogs are fostered in volunteers' homes so they can be loved like a family member until they are placed in a suitable adoptive home, determined by a review of a written application, a criminal background check, several reference consultations, and a home visit.
