McNugget - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

McNugget is true middle child energy and adjusts her play style based on which littermate she is wrestling with at the moment, giving us confidence that she would do well adjusting to fit the needs of another dog in the home. She is quiet and nervous at first but quickly comes out of her shell and turns into the goofy puppy she is.

McNugget has been with her littermates in foster and as such will be brand new to big kid things like potty training, leash walking, and crate training. Generally this litter has been very quiet, so we expect that after the initial nerves of leaving the nest wear off she will do just fine adjusting to her new life in your family.

Adopters should be prepared to work on all things training as puppies are so rewarding but require a lot to ensure that they are on the right track. If you have a lot of love to give, consistency is your friend and you can be overly patient, here's your chance.

McNugget is being fostered in Chicago and available in or within 3 hours of Chicago. She is up to date on her age appropriate vaccinations, recently spayed, microchipped, dewormed and has received her first dose of flea, tick and heartworm prevention which is all included in her adoption fee. If you have any questions please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority. Reminder we do not host any meet and greet without an approved and matched application as we are not first come, first serve.
