Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. - Indianapolis

Dog rescue in Indianapolis, IN

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.

Rescue FAQs

Indianapolis, IN and surrounding areas. Crown Point Indiana has a group of fosters that concentrates on adoptions in that area but, both Indianapolis and Crown Point will adopt to other areas in Indiana depending on the suitability of the home for the particular pet.
We do not usually complete out of state adoptions, but we have in the past. There is most likely a dog in need of a loving home at your local shelter or rescue.

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.
