Chihuahua Rescue or Adoption

 Chihuahua rescues are home to dogs that have been abandoned and need a new home.  Instead of putting down dogs, rescues try actively to find them a new home.  That is the big difference between a rescue and a shelter.  A rescues main interest is to save the Chihuahua's from a certain death at the pound or shelter and find them a new, permanent home. 

 The goal of the rescues to find a good permanent home and not put down the Chihuahua's means that getting a dog form a rescue is not as simple as it would be getting one form a pound or even a breeder, for that matter.  The rescue is interested in people who can offer a good home, not just someone who is interested, so a Chihuahua from a rescue is not going to be the ideal solution for some people.

 The Basics Of Chihuahua Rescue / Adoption

 Usually when a person wishes to get a Chihuahua and chooses to go to a breeder or the pound, all they need is some money.  Breeders and pounds are not interested in making sure you will provide a good home and will provide good care for the Chihuahua.  A rescue, however, is interested in what you have to offer the dog.  They will make sure you have a suitable home and that you can provide the proper care. Many dogs at a rescue have medical needs, so they will make sure you understand about that and that you are willing to care for the dog.

 Additionally, since rescues do not put down Chihuahua's they may house a Chihuahua for a long time before it gets adopted, which can be quite expensive.  They usually ask for a fee to help cover those expenses when you adopt the dog. 

 You will have to fill out forms and contracts that pledge your commitment to caring for the Chihuahua you are adopting.  They will ask for references and they will check them.  This is serious business.  The rescue does not want to send the Chihuahua to another bad home where they will not get the care they need.

 Is A Rescue Chihuahua For You

Chihuahua's are a good pet for an adult home with no large dogs and limited exposure to children.  Large dogs and children can pose a threat to Chihuahua's because they are so small and easily hurt.  Children can also cause the dog to be nervous, which is uncomfortable for him.  They are extremely loyal dogs and will be a great companion.

 Besides all the lovely things about the breed, rescue Chihuahua's have some great benefits just because they are rescued dogs.  Many are already housebroken, so that is one less thing you will have to worry about.  Most are older Chihuahua's so they will not chew like a pup does.  They are already immunized, so you do not have to go through the tension and worry about vaccines and ill side effects.  The rescue staff probably can give you a good idea about his temperament, so you can get to know him before even bringing him home. 

 If you are not looking to get a Chihuahua to show in dog shows or to start a breeding business, but rather to simply have a companion, a little friend to love then a Chihuahua rescue is right up your alley.  These dogs want to be loved and want to love someone.  They will be an instant friend and touch your heart.
