My personality

My story

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

Murphy is a sweet boy who wants nothing more than to spend time cuddling with his loved ones. He can be a bit slow to warm up but after a short introduction period he loves snuggles on the couch and sharing a warm blanket. He also appreciates play time outside and walks in new places with plenty of things to sniff. Once he knows familiar faces, he’s quick to love them when they visit. He may do better with experienced adopters who are able to give him the patience and consistency he needs to feel safe. He is crate trained and could be left on his own during a work day and is house trained as long as he is given regular bathroom breaks. He has lived in both a house and apartment without issue. Murphy can be anxious at times when meeting others and for this reason he would do best in a house without small children or other animals who may have a difficult time respecting his boundaries.

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.
