My personality

My story

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

Diamond is a... GEM! This darling girl came to rescue after her person left her with the promise of returning, but then they didn't. Then she couldn't stay where she was any longer. So, she came to stay with a foster at Chihuahua Rescue in search of her forever home. Diamond is overweight but we are working to get her weight manageable. She's on a good food, but not too much. She loves to be outdoors, and she is fine going for a leashed walk. Diamond has been on medication for some itchy skin; it was clear that her condition had been neglected for a while prior to coming to Rescue. She is improving all the time. Diamond had a recent dental cleaning and is current on vaccines, microchipped and on heartworm and flea prevention. She has had some vet visits to check her skin, and she is in good health overall. Diamond is easy going and gets along with the other dog in her environment. She has previously lived with other dogs and a cat without problems.
Diamond is charming and loveable, and we look forward to finding her the perfect forever home. Diamond is a generous 17 pounds but should be smaller. She is 9 years old. She is ready for adoption and her fee is $375.

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.

We hold adoption events at local Petsmarts, Specks, various other local venues mentioned on our website and social media. The dates are fluid and they do coincide with the nationally advertised adoption events at the locales.

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.
