Merrel - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to visit with this animal, please email us at info@animalhope.org or call 817‐984‐1129 between 12 pm and 6 pm.

Merrel is a 2‐year‐old Chihuahua weighing about 6.6 pounds. He came to us as a stray with a broken leg, but after treatment and healing time, he has made a full recovery. Recently, he has been enjoying his yard time with his dog friends and has no trouble keeping up -- he's an energetic, happy little guy who loves just about everyone he meets.

In addition to his leg injury, Merrel also required deworming, but our veterinary team has since cleared him as healthy and ready for adoption. His adoption fee is $500.

Because we don't observe our animals in home settings, we aren't able to guarantee whether he is housebroken.

Upon intake, every animal receives:

Spay/neuter surgery

Microchip

All age‐appropriate vaccinations

Blood and fecal testing (with treatment if needed)

Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

A complimentary wellness exam 7-10 days after adoption

Adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within an hour of our facility.

If you'd like to meet Merrel, we'd be happy to help. He's a lively, lovable Chihuahua who's ready for a forever home where he can soak up attention and enjoy life to the fullest. 🐾✨
