Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Brookings, South Dakota

Meet Itsy Bitsy! Itsy Bitsy is a 4-year-old, 8 pound Chihuahua/Min Pin mix who is spayed, medically up-to-date, and all set for her forever home.

Like most Chihuahuas, Itsy Bitsy is a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly. Itsy Bitsy has lived in a home with cats before, and would likely do well with other dogs with a proper introduction. She’s affectionate and loves people of all ages. Itsy Bitsy is potty trained and will let you know if she needs to go outside. She also uses potty pads if needed.

If Itsy Bitsy had to pick three of her favorite things, they’d be enjoying a pup cup, going on drives, and walking by your side. Besides her top three, Itsy Bitsy also enjoys playing fetch, and is a cuddler who would enjoy cozying up beside you for a good night’s rest. Itsy Bitsy is also quite smart, and knows the commands “come”, “up”, and “business” (for using the bathroom).

Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!

Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs.

Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.
