My story

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

Chico is a 1 1/2 year old "Chiweenie" which is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix boy who is ready to find a family who can give him the love and guidance he deserves. There's a big heart tucked into his tiny frame.

Chico is a bit unsure when meeting new people but once he has a little time to feel comfortable, he shows off his sweet and affectionate personality. He is still working on his housebreaking skills so he'll need someone willing to help him continue learning.

If you enjoy earning the trust of a small, loyal companion, then Chico might be the perfect match for you.

Chico is a courtesy post for the Brooke County Animal Shelter in Beechbottom, WV, about 45 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Please call the shelter at 304-394-0800 for more information or to arrange a meet and greet with Chico.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Guidelines:
- Before scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our adoptable cats or dogs, you must complete an application and interview with an adoption team member.
- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.
- If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating the landlord permits pets along with the landlord’s contact information.
- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.
- We reserve the right to perform a home visit.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.

Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.
