Story

Introducing Natasha! Humans are scary at first, and she will be skittish while she settles in and learns she can trust you. Taking her outside will, first, require some patience. As a flight risk during this skittish phase, a fenced yard and slip lead are needed. But with the help of consistency, calm cuddles, and treats- you will earn a ride or die bff, snuggle baby, that is very easy to care for. Once the trust is there, you become her rock! Take it from me, foster momma and this little nugget’s current bff. She becomes a little shadow that demands belly rubs and will sleep little spoon all night. Potty trained and knows how to use a pee pad for the long stretches, crate trained (although she’ll eventually rather be by your side), and fantastic with any other animal. Giant dogs, rambunctious kittens, she’s cool. All she needs is her human, a good dog bed and she’s a happy camper. Minimal barking, road trip approved (we just drove to Florida and back for the holiday). She did great! Kids might be a bit too overwhelming, though this hasn’t been tested. She seems to have a harder time with men; though this definitely has improved in time. I would say the primary caregiver should be a woman. The first few days, few weeks, will have their challenges. But once you get over that hump and her little wiggly butt is greeting you with a smile (literally), y’all will wonder how you could live without each other.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Elvis is a funny scruffy senior gentleman with lots of pep left in his step! He sits with his legs crossed. He is great on a leash, loves to trot along on 1-2 mile walks, or gallop around in a back yard sniffing trees. He is sweet, snuggly and gentle, unless you wake him up from a nap, and you might get a grouch. His favorite passtime is napping, playing with his shadow or favorite pillow, and MOSTLY sitting in your lap getting his head and ears snuggled. Elvis probably best for a settled household without kids, and with plenty of snuggles and laptime, and he loves friendly older dogs.

Story

Meet Molly and Daisy! Molly and Daisy are bonded sisters in need of a new home. Molly and Daisy are both 13 year old chihuahua mixes. Daisy is black and grey and weighs 11 pounds, and Molly is black and tan and weighs 13 pounds. As a bonded pair, Molly and Daisy need to be adopted to the same home. Molly is shy at first but warms up quickly and is the perfect loving companion. Daisy is warm and loving. She immediately rolls over for belly rubs! Both girls are great companions. They both love to sleep with their human and they love to snuggle beside you any time you sit down! Their foster mom says their behavior is absolutely perfect. Both girls are able to go potty outdoors or are able to use potty pads indoors. Molly and Daisy are both in good health. They have been fully vetted and are up to date on vaccinations. They are spayed and microchipped. They take monthly heartworm prevention. Molly and Daisy’s adoption donation is $500. If you are interested in the above dogs, 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.
