Tess, an adorable little gal, born September 17, 2023 and weighing 4.5 pounds, is a black and white, female, long coat chihuahua. She will likely mature to 5-5 1/2 lbs. She is sweet, active, and playful and she loves toys and playing fetch. She will sometimes growl at new people particularly men. She warms up quickly though with a little reassurance (treats don’t hurt either). She gets along well with other dogs once she gets used to them. She has not been around children. She travels great in a crate in the car and walks well on leash. She is good for grooming and nail trimming/grinding. Due to her small size, she will not be considered for homes with young children and she will need to be accompanied when she is outside. Tess is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is being kept current on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain her good health. Tess is located in Arkansas. Her adoption donation is $865 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Tess, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application.
You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process.
After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer will contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
