My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marmie came from a rescue in Houston TX where there are an abundance of Chihuahuas.  Wanting to give Marmie a better chance at finding her forever home, they turned her over to CRT.

Marmie was born 10/1/17 so she is 2 yr 6 mos old.  She weighs 12 lbs.  She is a special needs Chi.

Marmie has microophthalmia of her left eye (eye is smaller and under developed).  An ophthalmologist in TX believes that Marmie can see out of this eye but her eyes also do not align so Marmie acts like she is always off balance.  She requires drops in her left eye, currently (3) times a day and also an eye lubricant at least (4) times per day.  This will most likely be required for the remainder of her life.

If she gets anxious, she will circle.  She will also circle when she goes outside to do her business.  She has her own dog bed and blanket that will come with her.  She spends a lot of time in the bed and gets anxious when it is not available.  She loves to burrow under the blanket and stay there and will peek her head out when you call her.  She does not go up steps.  She also does not like hardwood floors.

She loves to play and she does go outside.  She gets along great with the other dogs at her foster home. If they get too close, she will growl but doesn’t seem to interact with them otherwise.

She is spayed, UTD on shots and on HW preventative.

She is a little special but is a wonderful, loving little girl that is looking for a family of her own.

Her adoption fee is $300.00.

If you are interested in the above dog, please do not email us and tell us that you are interested, but submit an adoption application. The link for the application is below.

To submit an application go here……chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/An application must be submitted and approved before a meet-n-greet can be scheduled.

Your current dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered unless a veterinarian has determined that your current pet(s) should not be fixed due to medical reasons. They must also be up-to-date on shots and on HW preventative.

Reference checks and a home visit are required so SE dogs can only be adopted in NC/SC, VA MD and GA.
