DESCRIPTION
Meet Chickadee! Chickadee is a three-month-old female Chihuahua mix, born April 5, 2026. Her mama Birdie, her three siblings, and two other dogs (likely aunties) were taken in by Chi Town Rescue when she was just a week old. The story goes that a good samaritan was driving and saw a homeless man's cart get knocked over. He stopped to help and realized that there were seven dogs in the cart. The man surrendered the pups to the good samaritan, tearfully saying he could not take care of them anymore. From there, Chi Town Rescue took in this little family. Chickadee is the pup most like mama, and the most brave in her litter. She is also the only female in the litter, and the smallest (just 3.8 pounds currently)! While the other pups are more shy, Chickadee doesn't have time for that- she has places to go, and people to see! Chickadee is always bouncing around alongside mama and will zoom up to you for kisses and snuggles. She is typical puppy in that she has lots of adorable energy and loves to play. Please make sure you are ready for the commitment of adopting a young dog. Puppies become adult dogs and are meant to be loved for their whole life, not just until they grow up. Puppies will need lots of patience to help them learn their best doggy manners, leash-training, and house-training. Adoption fees are $500 per puppy and include vaccinations, microchip, and eventual alter surgery at the PAWS clinic on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. Per our vet, we do not alter puppies until around five months, which helps with hormone development and bone growth. Adopters will sign a contract that you will bring your puppy to the PAWS clinic for spay/neuter surgery, sometime in September 2026.
