Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Arriving on 2/28 to New York City, Nina is in need of a foster OR foster-to-adopt home!

Nina | 1 y/o female | 13 pounds | Chihuahua Mix

Nina is still learning to trust men after a past of physical abuse so is best suited for a home with female-identifying individuals. With time and patience she could be comfortable with all people but would need an experienced hand. Nina will need some level of house-training and leash-training upon arrival.

Unfortunately, no other photos or information is known about Nina at this time. If interested in welcoming Nina home on Saturday, February 28 from our transport pick-up, please submit a dog foster application ASAP!

Priority will be given to those residing within the 5 boroughs of NYC. If living outside of the boroughs, must be willing to travel to NYC for transport pick-up, veterinary services, and planned adoption events.

Vaccinated for Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Neutered and microchipped. Tested for vector-borne illnesses. Current on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention.

To apply to foster/foster-to-adopt to adopt Nina, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for a foster application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.

Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
