Artie is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle with his human; his happy place is in your lap. He can be testy if other dogs are in his space; he'd probably do best as an only dog or with just one other dog that's a female. He has lived with children and cats. He does take a bit to adjust to changes, so adopters should be prepared to allow him a few days to adapt to new situations.
Artie's former owner surrendered him to the Rescue because he barked a lot at home, which was an apartment, when she wasn't there, and the neighbors were complaining. He doesn't seem to bark often in a single-family home. We recommend that he not go to a shared-wall situation.
Artie walks well on a leash. He did escape from a chain-link fenced yard. We didn't see it, but he probably squeezed through a space between the gate and the post. He will, therefore, need to go on walks to take care of his business, or to be closely supervised in the yard. He will use potty pads, but really prefers to go outside.
Artie's foster lives in south central Illinois, but transportation back to Indianapolis can be arranged.

Additional adoption info
**If you are unable to pay the adoption fee ($250 and up), we are unable to place a dog in your care. Being unable to meet the financial obligations of pet care (recurrent or emergent) is one of many reasons why so many of these pets end up in rescue. It's not lack of love.**
We require an adoption application, and then we will check references. We also check with vets. If the person is not LOCAL then we will partner with a local animal control to complete a home visit.
There are adoption fees associated with the costs of veterinary care of the pet. We require an adoption contract to be signed to finalize the adoption process and we have an agreement that all our pets are to be Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. pets for LIFE. In other words, in the event that they can not stay in their adoptive home, they are not to be surrendered to another individual or rescue.

More about this rescue
Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. is a non profit, all volunteer rescue working with Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. The pets are housed in individual volunteer foster homes, not kennels or shelters until they are adopted permanently. We get to know our animals and therefore can tell the potential adopter what the traits of the animal are and what home would be the best for the pet. We are dedicated to the adoption, education, rescue and transportation of the Chihuahua breed. We believe that every Chihuahua deserves a loving home.
