Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Medfield, Massachusetts

Nugget came into our care after being found as a stray. He is very social and loves being petted. He walks well on a leash and seems to like the other dogs in our care. Since we don't know his history, we recommend he go to a home with children 12 years or older. He will be neutered on June 4th and ready to go to a new home once that is done. The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application here: medfieldshelter.com/adopt

If a dog is listed on our website, it is still available for adoption; however, there may be applications ahead of yours. We typically receive many applications for every dog we post. All adoption meetings are by appointment.

Our dog adoption fee is $450 for dogs aged seven months to seven years old, and $250 for dogs aged eight years and older. Every dog we place receives age-appropriate vaccines, is treated for worms, ticks, and fleas, tested for heartworm, microchipped, and spayed or neutered before adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash. Please fill out the adoption application if you would like to be considered for a dog in our care.

With few exceptions, dogs are happiest and well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families willing to commit to both.
