Chihuahua puppies and dogs in Rhode Island

Introducing Niblet! 🐾💕 Niblet is a 6-month-old Chihuahua weighing in at a tiny 4.7 Ibs, and she is as sweet and affectionate as can be!This little girl is a total Velcro puppy who absolutely loves being held, carried around, and right beside her person. She has a strong preterence for being with her humans at all times... and she's not afraid to let you know when you've committed the terrible offense of leaving the room without her. 😂 She can be a little vocal when she's unhappy about being left behind!She does great with kids, cats, and other dogs and loves having little doggy friends to play with. That being said, she is still a Chihuahua, which means sometimes she wakes up and chooses ✨ attitude ✨She can get a little growly depending on her mood, so she'd do best with another dog who is easygoing enough to ignore her occasional tiny temper tantrum.She is crate trained and doing great with house training. Niblet is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever person who won't mind having a 4.7-pound shadow following them everywhere. ❤️

Hi there, I’m Cream Puff Chi3 At 1.5 years old, I am the perfect mix of young adult fun and gentle companion. I am incredibly eager to please, which means I love learning new things and listening to my humans. When I am not playing with my favorite toys, you can find me curled up perfectly in your lap.  I have lived with both dogs and cats and have done well with both! Yay me! My foster mom says I am respectful when the other dogs don't want to play. She also took me to this big store called Marshall's and rode in a really fun cart. I got lots of attention and it was really fun.   I am working on potty training. I promise I am trying really hard.  I do well in the crate and have been left alone for a few hours and was a good girl! If you are looking for a sweet, lovable, and cute companion I am your girl! Cream Puff is a smart girl and basic group training classes is recommended to help her socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you!   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

PLEASE READ THIS IN YOUR ITTY BITTIEST VOICE: Meet Ody. A tiny speck of a puppy that we are absolutely obsessed with. We expect him to stay small based on his breed mix, but genetics are tiny agents of chaos, so no guarantees. Ody is sweet, playful, affectionate and currently being bossed around by his equally tiny sister, Jodi. We informed Ody that he is an independent puppy with rights and personal agency. Then Jodi looked at him. So he apologized. We have tried to teach him how to assert dominance but he said that would be breaking the rules. We didn’t make the rules. Jodi did.

Our team will contact you to schedule a meet and greet if your application is moving forward. Helpful Reminders There is no set timeline for how long it takes to process an application. Our team does their best to review applications as quickly as possible. We kindly ask that you do not send duplicate emails asking for updates, as this can slow down the process.We do not do same day adoptions. Submitting an application does not mean you are approved to adopt a specific animal. We are looking for the best match for each animal based on their needs, personality, age, energy level, medical history, and the home environment. Adoption Fees Adoption fees help us continue to provide lifesaving care to animals in need. EGAPL Heart of RI is a nonprofit animal rescue and does not receive state or federal funding. The cost of veterinary care, food, supplies, staffing, transport, medications, and daily shelter operations has increased significantly.While adoption fees do not cover the full cost of caring for each animal, they help offset a portion of the medical care, housing, and support each pet receives before going home. Every adoption also helps make room for the next animal who needs safety, care, and a fresh start. DOGS Puppies under 1 year: $675 Adult dogs 1 year and older: $575 Dog adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine Distemper/parvo vaccines given while in our care, based on the dogs age and vaccine schedule Leptospirosis vaccine started while in our care, when age-appropriate Bordetella vaccineInitial deworming Heartworm testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea and tick prevention or treatment while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a leash and collar with you at the time of adoption, or ask our team what size is best for your new dog. CATS Kittens under 1 year: $425 Adult cats 1 year and older: $325 Cat and kitten adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine FVRCP/distemper vaccines given while in our care, based on the cat or kittens age and vaccine scheduleInitial deworming FeLV/FIV testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea treatment or prevention while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a secure cat carrier with you at the time of adoption. A Note About Puppy and Kitten Vaccines Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as they grow. We provide as many age appropriate distemper vaccines as possible while they are in our care, but young animals may still need additional boosters after adoption.Your adoption counselor will review your pets vaccine record with you so you know exactly what has been done and what may still be needed with your veterinarian. A Note About Leptospirosis Vaccines for Dogs We start dogs and puppies on the leptospirosis vaccine when age appropriate. Because some dogs are adopted before the booster is due, the full lepto series may not be completed before adoption. Your adoption counselor will review your dog's vaccine record with you and let you know whether a booster is still needed with your veterinarian. After Adoption Veterinary Care We recommend setting up an appointment with your veterinarian shortly after adoption. This helps your new pet establish care, allows your veterinarian to review their medical and vaccine history, and ensures they stay on track for any boosters or follow up care they may need. Flea and tick prevention, as well as heart worm prevention for dogs, are typically prescription products. Your veterinarian can help choose the safest and most appropriate preventatives for your pet based on their age, weight, medical history, and lifestyle. Why Adoption Fees Matter Every animal who comes through our doors receives individualized care. Some arrive healthy and simply need vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and a safe place to land. Others need emergency care, diagnostics, treatment for parasites or infections, dental care, behavior support, special food, foster care, or weeks to months of daily shelter care before they are ready for adoption.Your adoption fee helps support that full circle of care. It helps the pet you are bringing home, and it helps the next animal who needs us. Thank you for choosing adoption and for supporting the lifesaving work of EGAPL Heart of RI

The building has been taken over by a 4lb, 9 week old dictator. Jodi has issued several nonnegotiable demands: more treats, someone to hold her like a baby 24/7, and that all photographs taken from her good side, which is all of them. Her mom is a Chihuahua and dad is a Pug mix, so we expect her to stay small. Her personality, however, has already reached approximately 140 pounds. Come meet Supreme Commander Jodi before another lucky family takes her home. Please understand you will not technically be adopting her. You will be entering her organization at an entry level position with no foreseeable path to management.
