My story

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

MANDO Key Characteristics:
• Age: approx 4-5 years old
 
• Breed: Chihuahua |brown with white|
 
• Tiny treasure 2.5 kg | on a weight gain journey|
 
• Very cuddly 
 
• Follows you around the house to be part of everything 
 
• House-trained
 
• Very Affectionate
 
• Agile, can do stairs, mild luxating patellas
 
• Missing right half mandible 
 
• Loves dogs
 
Mando adjusted very quickly to living with us! He might be the most happy-go-lucky dog we’ve ever known â¤ï¸
 
While he is missing half of his lower jaw, it does not slow him down. He loves to eat! (Softened food for his comfort.) 
 
He loves going for walks, sleeping on your lap, and receiving affection. 
 
Mando would thrive in a home where his people are home the majority of the time, or go with you wherever you go, as he is very social. He is comfortable in the car but tries to get into the drivers seat, so a good harness and seatbelt is a must. 
 
Mando gets along well with our resident dogs (all small) and will snuggle with them if a human lap is not available. He also displays playful zoomies with them. 
 
When we give attention to our other dogs, he will insert himself in front of the other dog - he just loves attention so much. At night he will sleep in your bed, tucked up close to you. 
 
When meeting new dogs on walks, he is excited, playful and kind. We think he would love to have another like-minded dog to share his forever home with. 
 
Mando has done very well meeting dog-savvy kids (tested with experienced 10+ year olds). 
 
Mando is the happiest, sweetest, most loving boy who brings so much joy into our home â¤ï¸.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.

Wish List

Financial support for the many medical procedures required, microchips, food, supplies and professional grooming
