Story
Meet Sweet Elsa!   This teeny tiny bundle of joy is a 7-pound Chi with a heart full of love!   At just 4 years old, Elsa is ready to leave her past behind and find a forever family who will spoil her with all the love and cuddles she deserves. Elsa recently escaped shelter life in Kentucky and is now living it up in a cozy foster home in the city, where she’s been thriving and showing off her gentle, loving personality.   She's the pawfect blend of snuggle bug and zoomie girl. Gets along great with all resident dogs and the kitty. She’s hoping to find her perfect family just in time for the holidays.    If you’re looking for a sweet, tiny companion to fill your home with joy, Elsa just might be the one! Let’s help Elsa find her happily ever after   The adoption fee of $450 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2024, 5:03 pm

Story
Diego came to us as unclaimed stray, ready for a fresh start! Diego is a chihuahua mix, weighing around 22 pounds. Diego is approximately 1.5 years old.He's a very sweet guy, who will jump up for attention and pets. He enjoys his walks and sniffing around. He is often carrying a toy around when he goes for walks. Diego can be a little mouthy when he's excited, nibbling on your fingers or a toy. He is gentle and can be easily redirected. Diego is a favorite with our volunteers as he is a wonderful walker and very affectionate. He can occasionally be hesitant when meeting new people but doesn't take long to warm up after a nice walk and a treat or two!Diego can be reactive to some dogs. He isn't a fan of large dogs and seems to prefer other smaller dogs with a more relaxed demeanor. This incredible little chihuahua mix has been in the shelter for far too long. Please help us find Diego's forever home!

Story
Meet Coco, a precious 9-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at about 9 pounds! Coco was originally adopted from us after her owner passed away a few years ago. Coco was sadly returned as she was uncomfortable around the toddler in the home. Coco has a precious little smile and enjoys the attention from staff. She can be shy at first and seems most comfortable around women. Coco previously lived as the only pet in the home. We think she’d do best as the only pet or possibly with another easy-going small dog. Coco enjoys curling up in a comfy bed and going on little walks to explore. Once she's comfortable with you, she will happily sit in your lap or burrow into your clothes. She had a dental and surgery to correct her cherry eye. Unfortunately, what teeth she had left were in such poor condition that they had to pull them. She is on a wet food only diet at the moment as she heals from the dental. Her cherry eye did return, but it does not bother her or impede her vision. Coco has a grade 3 heart murmur but is not in need of any medications.

Story
Meet Kiwi, our precious senior chihuahua mix. Kiwi is 8 years old and weighs just 9lbs. She is shy at first, but once she knows you, she just wants to be with you. She will follow staff around and climb into their lap if they sit on the floor. Kiwi can often be found curled up underneath her blanket taking a nice nap. Kiwi would love a cozy and quiet retirement home to call her own! Kiwi hasn't seemed to mind some of the other mellow small dogs she's met at the shelter. She had a sleepover at a staff member's house and did very well. She is very content curled up in a lap or laying right beside you.Kiwi has a grade 4 heart murmur and an enlarged heart. Our vet recommended we follow up with a cardiac ultrasound, which showed Kiwi has mild heart failure. They prescribed her Enalapril and Vetmedin, which Kiwi happily takes in a pill pocket or cheese.

Story
Hi there my name is Huey and I am a Chihuahua/Schnauzer/Terrier mix about 7 years old. I have been in the rescue for quite some time as it takes me a little time to trust people. I was abused in my past so on my initial meet and greets with new people I am unsure and sudden movements make me scared. Once I get to know you and trust you you can't get rid of me. Once we are BFFs, I am the most loyal, fun, sassy and most of all cuddly friend. I am looking for my forever home with somebody who is either a stay at home, work from home, or retired as I like to be with my people as much as possible. I am completely up to date on my vetting which includes neutered, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, bordetella, negative fecal, negative heartworm, and microchipped. If interested in meeting me please go to the rescue's website www.atailof4paws.org and fill out the application. Once completed email or scan to rescue@atailof4paws.org

Story
Meet Mercutio (pronounced Mer-Cue-She-O)! He is a vibrant and active ~12 year old boy who is looking for his forever home. He is happy to cuddle up on the couch, but also loves romping in the fenced yard. He gets along with other dogs, kids, and cats- but he does occasionally try to chase the cat. He can get protective of his people and that is when his chihuahua traits can some out- such as barking or growling at strangers on walks, He is crate trained and does great with potty training. He loves a good game of fetch with a squeaky toy. He is looking for a dog savvy home that is familiar with the protective nature of chihuahuas. He really is a love bug. He did have a mast cell tumor that was removed from his tail, but margins were good and it was low grade, so chances of reoccurrence are low, but it will need to be monitored. He also got a full dental cleaning. Mercutio's adoption donation of $300 helps cover the cost of his veterinary care. Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (age appropriate), fecal tested and/or dewormed, and microchipped.
