Story
Our mom has dementia. Can't walk dog as before. Mom's health has changed a lot. My brothers dog had to be put down due to his health, he'll never own another pet. My health isn't what it used to be. This is why Chico needs to go to a good home. He's our mom's baby, but she's at peace knowing, this must be done.

Story
If you are interested in adopting an ARPO pet, please visit our website, for details about our fees and process, and to complete our Adoption Application.   ARPO limits adoptions to within 50 miles of Indianapolis.  We do not have a shelter; all pets are in volunteer foster homes.  Hello, my name is Potato. I was named that because I was a little more potato shaped when I was found by my rescuer. My foster mom wanted to be selfish and keep me all to herself, but she knows lots more doggies need her help.  I do really well with all of the resident dogs and most of the cats, I will chase the cats who are scared of me but leave the ones alone who are not. I love to snuggle. I get along with everyone but since I am coming into my senior years I deserve to not have to put up with any little kids playing too rough with me since I'm a little guy at under 9 lbs. I had a dental recently and will likely need more in the future because my breed is known to have poor tooth enamel. Please only apply if you are willing to spoil me rotten and give me lots of pets and snuggles.. I’m 9ish and being fostered on the southside of Indianapolis.If you are interested in adopting an ARPO pet, please complete the online Adoption Application.  If you would like to donate to this pet's care, please click here.

Story
Hi, I’m Manny! I’m about 4 years old, I’m house and crate trained, I know how to sit, and I’ll be your best friend. However, I have some criteria that I need from you. I take a minute to warm up to new people, and I don’t particularly appreciate too much love. I will ask for pets when I want them, but don’t get carried away. My favorite thing? Foot pets!!! Let me rub my body on your feet and I’m in heaven! Another thing I love is food. Big food guy! Dogs? I’m good with dogs! I have two foster siblings and I’m super respectful about their space. My foster family says I’m the most perfect dog and all I truly need is someone who will respect my space. I get so excited when my people get home from work. I may bark at new guests, but if they just ignore me, I’ll ignore them. I walk pretty well on a leash, though I like to lead the way! No kids for me please! They move too fast and scare me. If you’re interested in seeing if we are a match, fill out the adoption application!

Story
Bandit is a very loving, sweet dog. He is playful, especially likes to play fetch. All vet needs are up to date. He loves to curl up on your lap for a nap. His previous owner could no longer care for him. Bandit is housebroken and does great as long as you offer lots of breaks and notice his cues of needing to go outdoors. It takes him a while to warm up to new people. Bandit has some very chihuahua behaviors, he loves "his" person and will keep others away by doing a dance around the feet of the stranger and he "might" take a nip at the ankle. It's not representative of Bandit's overall super sweet and enjoyable personality. He likes to get up by your face and lay his head on you and then takes his paw and pats you on the face. Its darling, and almost cat-like. If you’re looking for a great companion, Bandit would be great for you. Bandit just had his teeth cleaned at the vet and he is current on flea and heartworm meds as well as routine vaccines. He's not a big eater, he does like treats, and he is crate trained. He is fine with other friendly dogs. Bandit's adoption fee is $350 and he's ready for adoption now. Fostered by sphil

Story
Champ came to rescue with his mom Sassy, dad Jake and brothers Chico and Tango from a loving home after the passing of their owner. Champ was very content with his brother Tango, and it was the intention to have the boys be adopted together. Unfortunately, Tango fell ill, and he was not able to recover. Champ has bounced back from the loss, but it would be great to find him a stable loving forever home. Champ is on the shy side but tends to warm up quickly. His personality and temperament are his best features! HE doesn't show up great at meet and greets as he isn't immediately a warm and fuzzy pet. But with time and patience he is loving. He is low maintenance, has a medium energy level, travels well, no behavioral issues or concerns, and is very obedient. Champ is a mellow companion who will be great company. Champ is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, has seen vet and is healthy. Champs adoption fee is $300 ***He qualifies for the Seniors for Seniors program. *** ***ask about Seniors for Seniors***

Feta Cheese

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Feta Cheese was surrendered, along with his sibling Gouda, to the Muncie Animal Control shelter. Gouda got adopted, but Feta didn't. He did not do well in the shelter environment, so he came to Chihuahua Rescue. Although he was neutered in Muncie, Feta's shots were not brought up to date; we fixed that. Feta's crate training has insured his potty training! You just need to put him in a crate when he will not be supervised. He's not thrilled to go into his crate, but if you toss a small treat in there, he will go right in. He LOVES going for long walks on a leash or doing zoomies in a securely fenced backyard. He is very interested in wildlife, especially squirrels, mice, rabbits and toads. Unfortunately, he's pretty hard on them. When he's frightened, Feta can be a bit snappy so his adopter will need to go slowly in establishing a relationship with him. Once he trusts you, which happens fairly quickly, Feta's warm and snuggly. Feta is a smart dog, and he needs to be kept busy. He will find something to entertain himself if you don't provide it. He completed Beginning Obedience Class at PetSmart in December 2023; he needs continued practice to be sure he retains and improves on his lessons. In the meantime, approved chew toys for "aggressive chewers" are must (he will come with his current black Kong). While he's not a fan of big dogs, Feta gets on well with the other 5 small dogs at his foster's house, except he is concerned about his bowl at feeding time. Eating in his crate keeps that issue under control. Feta hasn't been tested with cats or children yet but should do well with older kids who can take the time to get to know him.
