My story

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

Meet Choco, a 7 lb chi (approximately 7 years old) looking for a warm lap to call his own. 

Background: Choco was found as a stray running around a neighborhood with two other chihuahuas. A good Samaritan took him in but is unable to keep him long-term.  

Personality: Choco is a chill little dude who loves to snuggle and be carried around. He enjoys car rides, cuddling on the couch, and soaking up the love from his favorite folks. He isn’t interested in playing with other dogs but he is fine being around them.

Health: Choco is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. He recently had a dental cleaning so his teeth are pearly white.

Training: Choco is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks nicely on a leash. 

Ideal Home: Choco gets along fine with other dogs in his foster home but wouldn’t mind having his humans to himself. He is calm around children but would probably enjoy a quiet home where he could be someone’s lap pet.

Adoption Requirements: Choco’s adoption fee is $350. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think he could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application 

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.
