Chihuahua and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Gainesville, Virginia

Meet Mochi! 🎀❤️ This adorable, scruffy 11-week-old puppy is officially looking for her forever home!

Her mom is a Chi / Shih Tzu mix, and while her dad's exact breed is a mystery, she came from a home with Chihuahua and Poodle mixes. Because of her small-breed background, we expect Mochi to stay under 20 lbs when full grown, and she has the cutest scruffy fur!

She is scheduled to leave Texas on June 11th and will be ready for pickup on June 13th! 🚚🐶

We are currently accepting applications for this sweet girl. You can place an adoption hold for $50, with the remaining adoption fee balance of $550 due at pickup.

If you are interested in adopting there is an application below! This is the first step. We do not schedule meet and greets without an approved application.

The adoption fee for this dog is $550 which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter. You will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will need proof of sterilization from the vet in order to receive the $100.

98% of our adoptables come from out of state. There are higher fees associated as we have to pay to have the animals transported. We are a non-profit rescue. Any access revenue made is used to care for animals with additional medical expenditures that would otherwise result in adoptable dogs having to be left behind and euthanized.
