Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks!

Meet Audi! She has quite the history... her puppies, and another family, including daddy, were abandoned at a homeless camp next to a busy freeway. Rescuers stepped in and got the entire family to safety. Audi was a little stressed on transport day - but then quickly showed her true personality. She's very lovey - and silly. The veterinary team guessed she's about 3 years old. It's fun to watch her play with her puppies. We get the feeling she would love a family that is home often, likely being raised with people around her often. She likes to jump in laps and really deserves a home where she will be loved and adored! She's 15 pounds.

Audi is going to a foster home this week, separated from her puppies. She is likely not housebroken, considering her life prior to coming to us. She is currently using potty pads and keeps her kennel space clean.

We will update her profile as we get more information.

This dog is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. She's heart worm negative.

The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning a rescue dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training.

Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption.

Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood.
Adoption fee is $375. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.

Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home.

Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.

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.

Save-A-Mutt is dedicated to creating awareness about the number of adoptable dogs in shelters and find every dog its forever...
