Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Hello, my name is Bernadette! I'm an 8lbs, ~10 year old, chihuahua mix. I’ve been told I'm on the list of 'The Best Chihuahuas Ever', but personally, I think I OWN that list!

I love pretty much everything, you name it. Food, toys, walks, people, strangers, farmers markets, car rides, and the list goes on. I say I love strangers, but in all honesty, I’ve never truly met one — everyone is my friend instantly! I love to share my love & I love to be loved.

I’m also a pretty active Chihuahua. You can find me walking the City Park loop several times a day, or playing in the backyard with the neighbor dogs, learning new tricks ('Spin' is my favorite), or conquering treat puzzles. I have a busy brain & body and I like to be entertained! No stress though, I’ve mastered the art of cuddling too — just be warned: I like to be as close to you as possible!

I’d like to be adopted with my sister, Eloise. You can find her bio posted on the RCHS page as well. Eloise considers me her 'rock' and safe place, and follows after me, so she knows new things/people are safe. Both of us need a home without children, but we do great with other dogs! We are the funnest, sweetest, most adorable chihuahuas — some may even consider us the “best” chihuahuas😉

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our application here: http://www.rchsks.org/our-animals/adopt-a-pet/adopting-a-dog. By filling out the application you are not committing yourself to adopting; it's a screening process that must be completed before you meet the dog. Please do this BEFORE calling. Our voicemail is only checked periodically and you can reach us much faster via dog-coordinators@rchsks.org. Thank you!

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
