My story

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

Hello, Joey!

Joey (AKA Joe Dirt) is a male 2 year old (DOB 3/28/24) hairless Chinese Crested in need of his forever home! Joey entered rescue when his owner surrendered him. Joey weighs 11 pounds. This little dude is mostly hairless aside from his awesome mohawk on top of his head.

Joey is a friendly little guy when not protecting his person. He very much bonds to his family and will guard them from all household visitors. He gets along well with other dogs, does fine with cats, and loves nothing more than to curl up in bed with you. Joey adores his snuggles! Joey will guard his person, so he will need someone who is firm and will remind him of his place. It is recommended that Joey go to an experienced owner and should not go to a home with young children due to his guarding tendencies.

Joey loves chew toys- they get his full attention. Meal times are a favorite as well. He is leash trained.

Joey has had a few issues with his penis being stuck out, but after multiple surgeries that seems to no longer be an issue. However, he’s had to re-learn his angles when urinating, and sometimes he aims wrong and misses due to that. It’s not his fault! Joey is pee pad trained.

An adopter should read up on the needs of Joey’s breed. He needs clothes during the winter and will need sunblock when he’s outside in the summer.

Joey is fully vetted and up to date on vaccinations. He is neutered and microchipped. He is also heartworm negative and takes monthly heartworm prevention.

Joey’s adoption donation is $400.

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: http://www.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.
