Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Emerson, your new forever friend :)

If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly, and loyal dog, Emerson is the perfect match for you! She is around 4 months old and is already learning boundaries, tricks, rules, and words. She pays no mind to our cats and chickens other than with gentle curiosity. Emerson loves people and enjoys the company of all ages, especially kids! She is very playful and friendly toward other dogs, both small and big alike.

We are working on crate training, and potty training is going very well. She’s very healthy, active, and loves the sun. After playtime, she settles down easily and has such a wonderful temperament. She wears collars, harnesses, and sweaters without any issues or struggle. She reads the room well and loves to cuddle.

All in all, Emerson would be a fantastic addition to just about any household.

Emerson is estimated to be 18 weeks old and 11 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/
