My story

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

Malcolm's mom had some serious health issues in 2024, but she, with help caring for Malcolm from both Sleepy Hollow Pet Ranch and Chihuahua Rescue, seemed to be on the mend and getting her life back on track. Unfortunately, something must have gone haywire. She moved out of her apartment at the end of February 2025 and left Malcolm behind. We're not sure how long he was by himself, but probably at least 10 days until he was found. Luckily the management had a CRIN foster's phone number and called us to come get him.
When he came back to the rescue, Malcolm was dehydrated and had a low serum phosphorus which were corrected by getting regular feedings. There don't seem to be any other physical side effects of his ordeal.
In spite of his mistreatment, Malcolm is a sweetheart. He loves being with his human and going on walks. He gets on well with other small dogs. Malcolm is reliably potty-trained as long as he is given the opportunity to go out on a regular basis.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

https://www.chihuahuarescuein.org/application The inquiry isn't the same as an application. A complete application is needed to meet a pet.

2.
Meet the Pet

Once the completed application is recieved and approved, the meeting is set up. You will be contacted by the foster for the pet.

3.
Home Check

A home check is done either in person or remotely to assess the practicality of the home and environment for the pet you are interested in.

4.
Pay Fee

The adoption fees for the pets range from $375 and up depending on the pet. We have 2 programs that offer a discount, for seniors & veterans

Additional adoption info

**If you are unable to pay the adoption fee ($375 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.
