My story

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

Meet (name), a sweet and affectionate 1-year-old female Chihuahua, a gentle and loving little companion who adores cuddles and affection. Despite her mellow demeanor, she's still building her confidence and would thrive in a calm and supportive home. She loves nothing more than a gentle petting session, and her eyes light up when she feels loved and safe.

Though she may be a bit shy at first, she's incredibly loyal and eager to bond once she gets to know you. With a little patience and encouragement, she'll grow into a brave, joyful companion. This little lady will need a family that is ready to help her gain the confidence she deserves, while also enjoying the endless love and snuggles she has to offer. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate Chihuahua to bring warmth into your home, she may be the perfect match.

Additional adoption info

Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned. These animals have been rescued by Animal Services Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner.

Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for at least five days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will become available for adoption.

During COVID-19, our shelter is only open by appointment only. Please contact adoptions@slco.org to coordinate a time to meet a pet.

Adoptions are offered during our operating hours Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM through 6:00 PM. Potential adopters should plan for some time to meet with their new pet before starting the adoption process. Please plan to be at the shelter before 5:30 PM to meet with a new pet.
