Cricket is a 2 year old, 4 lb chihuahua who came from a very high kill shelter in CA. Cricket will be special needs and will need someone who will be patient with her.

It is thought that she has hydrocephalus which is fluid on the brain. Because of this she is partially blind and has trouble balancing. She has a consult with a specialist coming up where we will address all her issues. Cricket is desperately seeking someone to spend the rest of her life with. She is great ...

CRICKET is a female chihuahua, about 3 lbs., about 2 years old. She is a special needs little girl, and has probably had a horrific life so far. The vet suspects she is mostly blind and has hydrocephalus (fluid in her brain). She will be seeing a neurologist this week, and she will finally receive proper vet care. Her adopter will need to be very patient and calm, and understanding of her special needs. She startles easily, walks in circles and often loses her balance. BUT once she trusts you, she will melt into your arms. Spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. For an application, email nicole@murphyspaw.org Fairfield County Stratford, CT MAP IT!

(Read More)need some work leash walking and meeting new people. Sam likes his close friends but needs help associating new people with good things and learning that they aren't so scary. Sam does bark, have fear of thunder storms, and has the occasional bathroom accidents. When being introduced to a new home Sam will need time and patience to adjust to a new bathroom schedule and routine. Samson goes to doggie daycare alot and is good with other small and medium dogs of both genders but is intimidated by larger dogs, and so he should not go to a home with any. Samson is also okay with cats if introduced properly. He will chase initially out of curiosity, but once adjusted to them he is fine. Samson is okay with babies and small children, but will not be placed into a home with any due to his age and size. Sam's hobbies include playing all day and cuddling all night! He loves to chew on his rope toy, play tug-a-war, and throw it about. When sam is not hanging out with his pals at doggie daycare he likes to curl up on the couch next to you and have a nap. Sam is a very loving and loyal dog just looking for the perfect home. There is NO adoption fee for Sam, just the promise of a great life and the right home for him. Adopters must drive to pick him up after being approved to adopt. To adopt adopters must fill out an application which includes references we will check (2 personal and a vet), and allow a home visit at their residence.

 | Animal ID: RDV511GADGET (male)
UPDATE FROM THE FOSTER: Gadget is a 15 month old 8 lb., female Chihuahua mix. We are happy to say that she has completed her heartworm treatment and is now heartworm free!! Gadget is a very sweet girl, and a quick learner. She already knows sit, down, stay, and go to your bed. When she gets really excited, she gets really silly and spins in circles! She loves her tennis balls and stuffed toys. Gadget is not really interested in interacting with other dogs, she prefers the company of humans, and is happy to spend the day being your buddy while you do the daily chores. She loves to curl up on a pillow in someone's lap. Right now Gadget is a ... (Read More)little too interested in her foster mother's cats. If she gets too close and the cat growls she will back off. She may be able to do -exist with a dog savvy cat in her new home. Please keep in mind all interactions between a cat and dog should be supervised, and if either animal is showing signs of stress, it is the owner's responsibility to remove the animals form the situation. Gadget does well in the crate during the day, but does not enjoy being in one at night. She would prefer to sleep at the foot of someone's bed. Chihuahua's are very sensitive to the cold, so right now Gadget is not enjoying going outside. Her foster mom always has a sweater on her when she goes outside to make sure she is warm. She loves going for rides in the car, and is very easy to walk on leash. Gadget is extremely smart, but also very sensitive. You could say she almost 'takes it personally' when being corrected, and gets very sad and will 'pout.' This is something her new owner should be mindful of when redirecting her behavior to their desired behavior. However, the great news is Gadget is so smart and aims to please, this should be no problem at all. Gadget's foster mother says she was protective of her and her daughter to her husband and teenage son at first, but once she go to know them her behavior was much improved. Gadget had trauma earlier in her life and it is possible that it was at the hands of a man, however, we do not know this for sure. It is important to remain patient while these dogs are learning to trust humans again, because you never know what they have experienced earlier in life. The ideal home for Gadget would be a quiet home, with a low activity level as she does not enjoy lots of commotion. Her new home may include children as long as they were over the age of 8. She is very small and does not eat very much so apartment or a house would be fine. She would be wonderful as a companion for an older person who desires a dog, but cannot do much physical activity as her exercise needs are very low. She would be happy to curl up and watch the 'Price is Right' on your lap every morning. She would also make a nice companion for young couple living in their first apartment, who have busy schedules, but want a dog. Her new home many include another dog who is similar in size and had a low activity level that wouldn't mind a napping friend. However, she would be fine as an only dog as well.

 | Animal ID: RDV508HANK (male)
UPDATE FROM SOUTH: I had the pleasure of 'babysitting' Hank for two days. I have to say he is an awesome and well adjusted little doggie. He entered my home that has 9 dogs ( personal and foster) with no reservations. He played well with all of my dogs. They range from an 8 pound Chihuahua to a 80 pound bulldog. He snuggled in my bed with the rest of my pack like a member of our group. Hank will make a great addition to any family. Imagine being in the middle of the desert on an extremely hot day. No sign of food and water for miles, you have no idea when your next meal will be, or if you will ever eat again. This was essentially how Hank ... (Read More)was found; by a young girl getting off the bus, who happened to have a huge heart. She saw that Hank was extremely frail and weak ,picked him up and carried him all the way to her house, where she and her mother worked together to begin Hank's rehabilitation. Hank is a male 14 lb Chihuahua mix and is approximately 1-2 years old, he is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. He has been de wormed and is in the process of being dewormed again. Hank does well in a car and on leash, and is in the process of being house trained. He also does well in a crate. Hank has done well with people of all ages. Although he typically does not pay much attention to children, if they are willing to give him lots of love and affection he is happy to oblige. He enjoys playing with other dogs, but is a bit unsure about kittens and cats. He has not acted out aggressively towards any felines, but tends to shy away. Hank is a submissive dog who just wants to be with people and given affection. An ideal home for Hank would be one where his new owners would be home more often than they are not. As you can imagine his life was quite lonely before and he wants to make sure he will never be left alone again. Hank has a moderate energy level, and enjoys running around, but prefers to be on the couch next to his people. He is still a little frail so he needs lots and lots of healthy treats and food to get him back to an ideal weight. Hank would do well in almost any family as long as they were willing to let him snuggle up on the couch and give him lots of attention to assure him he will never be abandoned again. If his new home were to have children it is recommended that they are over the age of 8, as Chihuahua's have very fine bones and can be easily unintentionally injured by a small child. Please fill out an adoption application if you are interested in adopting Hank.

Tucker and Tyler are a bonded pair of chihuahuas that are complete sweet hearts. They get along with other dogs and are wonderful around kids. These two are a bonded pair and would love to find a home together. Both boys are very easy going and low maintenance. They are located in San Antonio but travel arrangements for their journey north will be made through Rescue Road Trips. The transport fee is included in the adoption fee. Why adopt a rescued dog who is already in a foster home? Every time a fostered dog is adopted, space is opened up in a home for another dog at risk of euthanasia. Millions of adoptable dogs are euthanized each year ... (Read More)simply because of a lack of space. Help us save more lives by choosing a ROCKS dog. (Less) Fairfield County Danbury, CT MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-08-26-00722Tobey (male)
Tobey came to us when his owners decided he deserved better - they were unable to properly care for him so they made a tough decision to allow us to find Tobey a home where he would get all the attention he deserves! Tobey is initially very nervous around men, but LOVES women & children. He also adores other dogs! We aren't sure how he does with kitties yet. Tobey is about 3-4 years old and 12-15 lbs. This little guy comes out of his shell as soon as he trusts you! He is a Japanese Chin/Chihuahua mix and will need a family who understands that he is slow to warm up. Project Precious Rescue, Inc.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Chihuahua in Connecticut | |||||||||
Chihuahua Dogs can make good pets in Connecticut if they match your IifestyIe. Chihuahuas are high strung, yappy, tiny dogs. Chihuahuas are loyal to the point of possessiveness and obsession with their masters. Chihuahuas are bold, high energy dogs that make wonderful companions for their owners but are suspicious of strangers. Chihuahuas are not well suited to families with children due to the dogs' defensiveness and tendency to snap when provoked. Chihuahuas need to be thoroughly socialized. Despite their small size, Chihuahuas are often aggressive with other dogs. Chihuahuas do fine living in an apartment but need plenty of daily exercise.
