Here's what the humans have to say about me:
CALLING ALL CHIHUAHUA LOVERS!!! Go no further, I’m your guy. Hi everybody, my name is Huey and I’m a 9 lb. Chihuahua mix that’s about 1 year old. I’m an overall happy go lucky guy who is just as sweet as can be.
I have been doing pretty good with my house training but am still a puppy with a small bladder So making sure I get put outside to go potty regularly will make you and I both happy campers. A fenced in yard that is small dog proofed is preferred but not required. When home alone I currently hang out in my crate, as I’m still a little too young to be left out on my own. I may cry a little at first but after a while
I will settle down and take a nap. Because of this, an apartment may not be the best arrangement for me. Ideally, I’d love to end up in a home where someone is home with me quite a bit. At night, I love to be able to cuddle up with my human in bed. Like a little human, I like to get under the covers and I’m out like a light.
Speaking of being with humans, I don’t really understand the whole personal space concept. I want to be as close to you as possible. When it comes to my walk, you may think I’ve been tipping the bottle. I have a little pep in my step, and sometimes end up walking a little crooked. I am very smart, and I am picking things up pretty quickly in my foster home. One thing I’ve learned is to sit for my food. I also come pretty well when called.
As I mentioned earlier, I am young and still have a few puppy tendencies. So far I think I’ve stayed out of trouble for the most part, but I do like my little tennis balls and my bones. You may want to make sure I have plenty of those, or I may end up chewing something I’m not supposed to. It wouldn’t be on purpose, I just don’t know any better. I’m also pretty good at entertaining myself with my toys.
I’d be best in a house with no small children as I can get a little nippy. Slow introductions to new folks coming into the home are probably best as well, as I do like to protect my home.
Overall I’m a typical Chihuahua with a lot of personality and sweetness. I’d love for you to meet me and make me a part of your family forever.
I have been vet checked, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, am up to date on routine shots including rabies and have been treated with flea & heartworm preventatives.
Huey’s adoption fee is $475.

In short, Heather’s Foster Dogs is looking for responsible, dedicated, and loving pet owners for our foster animals. This means a couple of things:
-You feel that pets are an important part of the family. They do not spend their days and nights living outside in the yard, chained to a doghouse or locked up in a kennel. Pets belong safe and warm in your home.
-You understand that regular veterinary visits with a licensed veterinarian are important to maintaining the health and well being of your pet. This means regular exams, administering medication when prescribed, and keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations.
-You believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training only and will seek the help of an experienced professional trainer if necessary or recommended.
-You understand that adding a pet to your family is a commitment that should last for the ENTIRE LIFE OF THAT PET.
To adopt a dog from Heather’s Foster Dogs, you must…
-Be at least 21 years of age
-Have a valid form of identification (a driver’s license or
state ID)
-Verify that you are allowed to have a dog of the breed
and size where you currently live
-Understand that a fenced yard may be required for a
dog you are interested in
-Understand that training may be required for the dog
you are interested in
-Understand that HFD reserves the right to check
veterinarian and personal references
-Bring along all household members including any
resident dogs or children to meet the dog you hope to
adopt
TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Heather’s Foster Dogs is dedicated to eliminating shelter overcrowding once and for all. We understand the only way to really achieve this goal is by cutting down on the number of unwanted animals born every year. As such, HFD tirelessly promotes spay/neuter for all companion animals, and in fact requires this as part of our adoption agreement. If you currently own an animal that is intact (meaning it is NOT spayed/neutered), and there is no medical reason as to why your pet has not been spayed/neutered, HFD cannot in good faith approve you to adopt one of our foster animals.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Heather’s Foster Dogs does NOT ship animals. No matter where you live, no matter how far, you will be expected to meet with HFD in person for your adoption interview and pet pick up.
HFD reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant if we feel they are not the best fit for the animal they’ve applied to adopt.
And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email Heather’s Foster Dogs at heathersfosterdogsinfo@gmail.com and we will be happy to speak with you further.
