Yam - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption

Meet Yam!

Yam is a sweet little five year old, 10 pound graceful Chihuahua mix resembling a Whippet in stature. She is calm, shy, sweet and still learning about life out of a puppy mill.

Yam is not destructive and crates well. As of now, she is a bit afraid of the leash, but is willing to go on a walk. She goes outside in the yard with her other foster siblings to use the potty. With patience and time, we are confident Yam will be able to adjust and be leash trained!

Yam isn't a beggar, or a big foodie, but can be convinced to try new foods. She really enjoys burrowing under the sheets at night and sleeping for long periods of time! She is a sweet pup and is looking for a fur-ever home, will you adopt Yam today?

Yam is currently being fostered in Livingston, New Jersey. Her adoption fee is $500.

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and Bordetella, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

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.
