My story

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

Turk-E is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, 8 pounds of all legs with a gentle, sensitive soul. He can be a little shy, but truly blossoms when his brother Hammy is nearby. With a confident canine friend around, Turk-E gains courage and comfort.

Hammy is a 3-year-old Chihuahua, also 8 pounds, and built a bit more solidly. He is incredibly sweet, loves toys, and never misses an opportunity to give kisses. Hammy is the more confident of the two and helps guide Turk-E through new situations.

These boys are often found cuddled together, but they also enjoy lap time or cozy naps next to their people. They are crate trained, good in the car, walk okay on leash, and do well with other dogs. A home with kids over 12 would be best.

Medical note:
Hammy is heartworm positive and has already started treatment, which is a 3–4 month process. He may be adopted now if the adopter is willing to continue treatment with our rescue’s vet at the rescue’s expense. Or the adopter may transfer care to their own vet and cover remaining treatment costs.

We would love for Turk-E and Hammy to stay together, as they clearly bring comfort to each other. However, they could be separated only if Turk-E goes to a home with a friendly, confident dog to help him feel secure.

If you’re looking for double the sweetness, cozy cuddles, and two gentle souls who just want stability and love, Turk-E and Hammy might be the perfect match.

The minimum adoption donation amount for both together is $550. If adopted separately, their adoption amount is a minimum of $345 each.

They are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.

We are located in Bloomington, IL
We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state.
Your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed/neutered, and on heart worm prevention year round. You must be at least 21-years-old to adopt.

Please have your veterinarian and two non-family reference phone numbers ready. The app makes you start all over if you leave the page to look up numbers.

More about this rescue

Thank you for your interest in adopting a senior Chihuahua. We appreciate each and every one of you!

If you fall in love with any of our adoptables, please fill out an application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog
You will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail if your app was sent properly.

Let us know if you have any issues or additional questions by private messaging the page here, or by e-mailing deebysrescue@gmail.com . Please, no phone calls. We operate solely with the help of volunteers. All of whom have kids, pets, and full-time jobs. Thank-you for your patience with the adoption process.

If the dog has not been marked as adopted, then he/she is still available. Though, there may be multiple apps in process. We do not operate on a first come, first serve basis. We attempt to find the best fit for each dog, and each approved family. If you are approved, but not chosen for your first dog of choice, please don’t despair. Your love match is out there!

All dogs are in loving foster homes. Thus, we will only arrange meetings with approved adopters.

All of your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, on heart worm prevention year round, and spayed/neutered. Unless, your current veterinarian has explicitly said that something may not be performed due to the health issues of your pet. These circumstances will have to be confirmed with your vet.

We will adopt out-of-state. However, we will not ship dogs. You will have to come and pick up your baby in Illinois. We have several major airports nearby, including one right here in Bloomington.

Once again, thank you for loving the tiny seniors as much as we do! Please continue to share our posts so that each baby may find their forever home. ❤️It takes a village to save lives.
