Story
Lady Mae is a particularly special pet. She came to us with 2 two other pets. One was another 2-legged chihuahua the other had all of her limbs. These pets were taken in by a kind person who wanted them to have the best home. All the pets were timid, Lady and the 4-legged pet, Teya were overweight, the 3rd one was much smaller. All showed a lack of socialization and hadn't spent much time outdoors. Since coming to rescue several months ago, Lady has learned to get around well, has lost some of her excess weight and is able to be social with other pets and people. Taking into consideration her special needs, the home we want to place her in would have experience with or at least a strong understanding of "biped" pets. She isn't a novelty, she is a special needs dog and we want her to live her best, most fulfilled life. If she finds her home in another state, we would have the adopter help with transport and the costs of that. She has an adoption fee of $450. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and has been heartworm tested negative.

Story
Moose came to the Rescue as an owner surrender. He is a sweetie who is friendly to people he doesn’t know, though he does take a minute to warm up. He’s mostly housebroken if you let him out often enough. He’s not a fan of being in a crate but will tolerate being in one for short periods of time. When Moose is happy to see his person, he will bring his toys that he plays with at times. Like most Chihuahuas, Moose is independent and wants things his way. Moose had a neuter, a dental, and his left eye was removed, which means he is happier with no longer needing that eye to be cleaned and medicated. These procedures were done in mid-April 2025 and Moose is healing well. Moose is ready to go to an approved forever home! Local Indianapolis adoption only. SP 4/7/25

Story
Meet River! This sweet little puppy is just 6 weeks old and already showing off a big personality. They are playful, curious, and love exploring everything around them. Like most puppies this age, they are still learning about the world and discovering all the fun that comes with being a puppy. They will be ready to start going home in about 2 to 3 weeks, around  September 12. We are looking forward to watching this little one grow and find the perfect family to call their own. ##2817101##

Story
Hi, I’m Blue. A special little guy with the crystal-blue eyes and a dapple coat. I’m seven years old, weigh about 13 pounds, and I’ve taken the scenic route to becoming a real dog. I started life in Tennessee in a tough situation with more than 60 other dogs who never learned how kind people could be. When I first arrived at Chihuahua Rescue in 2020, I was terrified, tested positive for heartworms, and thought every human hand was bad news. I’d snarl, snap, and make it crystal clear that my personal space was mine. Thanks to treatment and months of patient care (and a lot of snacks), I beat the heartworms and slowly began to trust enough to “dog.” These days I’m a pro at living with other dogs and I’ve even picked up a few civilized hobbies: Secure walks. I still prefer a slip lead and calm surroundings, but I’ll show off my adorable little trot. Special toys. They help me stay relaxed and give my brain something to do. Squirrel patrol. I’ll happily chase critters and sometimes bring… um… “gifts.” Crate life. My crate is my safe space and I’m fully crate trained—it’s my personal den when the world feels too loud. Snack negotiations. I’m very treat-motivated and proudly expect a snack when I come in from outdoors. (Payment upon delivery of good behavior, please.) Here’s the fine print: I don’t like to be petted. Ever. I’ll hang out near you, follow you around a hobby farm or big yard, and be your quiet companion, but please admire me with your eyes, not your hands. I bark a lot (think of it as my own podcast), and sometimes mark inside if stressed (usually from new dogs). My foster family keeps me on doggy Prozac and ProHeart for heartworm prevention, which help me stay healthy and calm. Despite everything, I’m smart, obedient, and secretly eager to please. What I need most is a patient person who understands that love doesn’t have to mean cuddles—it can mean trust, space, and long walks together.
