Skye

Chihuahua Mutt

Female, Adult
Newark, DE
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Skye is a roughly 4 year old long-hair chihuahua mix, a sweet, affectionate snuggle bug, and a great companion. We originally took her in when we learned of another family that could no longer care for her. We are looking to rehome her because we now have a mobile toddler, and that has been putting a lot of stress on her. She would do best in a home with an adult / adults and older children (about age 7 and up). She does great with other dogs and cats, and would be an excellent fit for a home with other pets!Please note: we will have her shots up to date before rehoming.

Story
Meet Buddy — the 12-pound chihuahua who believes he is the one doing the adopting. Buddy is about 3 years old and has the confidence of a tiny king deciding who is worthy of his presence. He does not love everyone… but honestly, do any of us? The good news is that once Buddy chooses you, congratulations — you’ve been selected for VIP status. Once you’re in his inner circle, Buddy becomes your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your personal space invader. You can dress him in sweaters, carry him around like royalty, or let him claim your lap as his permanent real estate. He loves it all. Winning him over is the tricky part — his little heart has a password, and he’s not sharing it with just anyone.March 7, 2026, 9:03 am

Story
Meet Squeak, a tiny 3-month-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix with a big personality packed into an extra-small package. Squeak recently watched his big sister head off to her forever home, and while he’s excited for her, he’s patiently waiting for someone to choose him next. He’s pretty sure his turn is coming soon—after all, have you seen this face? Like any puppy, Squeak is powered by equal parts curiosity, mischief, and naps. He loves exploring new places, investigating every interesting smell, and showing off his impressive puppy zoomies. When he’s finished conquering the world (or at least the living room), he’s more than happy to curl up for some cuddles. Come meet Squeak today! June 3, 2026, 3:08 pm

Story
Meet Chum — 13 pounds of attitude, drama, and… eventually… affection. Are you a patient adult woman with a soft spot for spicy little men? Perfect. Chum is a 4-year-old chihuahua whose hobbies include: strutting proudly on his walkies, judging everyone within a 10-foot radius, and filing formal complaints about any man who dares make eye contact. Chum considers personal space a right, not a privilege. He’ll need someone who lets him settle in at his own pace, preferably while providing him with the fluffiest, most luxurious bed known to mankind (he will absolutely claim it as his throne).

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
