Tunkin aka Tunkers aka tunk aka Tonka Truck. Tunk is a velcro dog, in the best way!!!! He just wants to be with you, cuddle and give kisses. He is house trained, plastic crate trained (he has escaped a metal one because he wants to be with you, we have left in out of a crate and he was fine), knows basic commands, loves to; walk, chew bones and play with toys. Do NOT be fooled by his age he has TONS of energy but will gladly cuddle on the couch and watch tv. His previous foster had cats and he did not get along with them but he is very smart and with some work could learn to get along with them. He will do best in a home where he can get daily walks and/or have lots of fenced in yard time and/or exploring on a leash. Like all wiener dogs he likes to dig and chase squirrels, chipmunks and birds with his foster brothers. If you are with him he is easily corrected and will do anything for a treat. Tunkers gets along with his 7 foster siblings but likes his alone time to chew his bones, he does NOT get aggressive if you take his bones or toys away. He does not like to share bones with his dog brothers but easily corrected. WE have taken him to multiple events with other dogs and kids where he was well mannered. If you want an easy dog that loves you he is the dog for you!!!!

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.
