Story
Six is the most outgoing of the chihuahua bunch. Six is ALWAYS happy, playful, and wants to be a part of everything. Full of energy, Six will need a dedicated plan for exercise/activity/enrichment each day or another active dog to wear her out. If you think you can keep up with Six, she’d love to be your forever buddy!Please note that this litter of puppies needs to be adopted within a 45 mile radius of the Des Moines metro as they will still need to be spayed/neutered with our vet partners and receive vaccine boosters until that surgery is completed.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Chihuahua

Male, Young
Des Moines, IA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
- Loves sleeping in bet with her foster family - Foster family says she is good at using puppy pads in their home, but will need to work on potty training with her new family - Came from a situation where they did not get the socialization and exposure to the world that dogs typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may struggle with new situations, may show uncertainty with novel everyday objects, may need help understanding leashes, and will need patience and structure with housetraining. - May not do well in a busy home with young children - Has done well with other dogs in her foster home - Would do best in a home with no cats All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 8 Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks

Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher

Male, 8 yrs 1 mo
Clive, IA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
We are the Denim Dogs: A timeless, tail-wagging collection. Enzo, Jordache, Old Navy, Lee, Gap, Levi and Wrangler. We all came from the same home where there were over 40 dogs! We are stitched together with charm, personality and that classic, all-American appeal. Just like your favorite jeans, we are reliable, flattering and always in style. Each of us brings our own fit and flair, but we all have a some of that beagle curiosity and a desire to be a part of a family. We are ready find our forever homes where we can stretch out, settle in and become someone's favorite. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2675337##

Ruby AB

Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Clive, IA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Ruby! This sweet young lady is everything wrapped up in one adorable little package. Ruby was rescued from a hoarding situation where she lived with many dogs in a small apartment with very little human interaction. Because of that, the world is still new to her — but she’s learning every day that it can be a safe and happy place. Ruby bonds easily with other dogs and truly thrives with canine companionship. She looks to other dogs for comfort and guidance, and meeting new dog friends is her absolute favorite thing! A confident, friendly dog in her forever home would help her continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a dog who instantly bonds with people, Ruby may not be your girl just yet. She needs a patient, loving, and understanding home that will give her the time and space to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, you’ll see her sweet and silly personality shine. Ruby may be slow to trust, but she’s incredibly observant and learns quickly. From chasing her own shadow to hopping up on her hind legs to catch a moth, her goofy curiosity and innocent spirit will absolutely melt your heart. With patience, love, and a cozy spot to curl up at night, Ruby will grow into the most loyal and devoted companion. Local adoption only $200 (in TX)
