Our primary goal is to save tiny dogs who are at risk of being euthanized. This happens sometimes just because people are no longer able or willing to keep a dog, or it is because the dog needs medical attention. Most of the dogs have many loving years to provide as a pet once they have received the medical attention that is required. Some of the dogs that we get are young and perfectly healthy, possibly only needing to be spayed or neutered.

We rescue tiny dogs under 5 lbs, many of which are chihuahuas. We are located in northwest Washington, but we consider adopting to out of state individuals upon approval.
Additional adoption info
You can initiate the process by contacting us by email at Dixie@tinydogrescue.org You will be asked to complete an online adoption information form. This is followed up with a phone interview to discuss what you are looking for in a pet, your lifestyle and family dynamics. A veterinarian reference is required. A home visit or video documentation of your home environment is required. Our adoption donations range from $100-$300 depending on the expenses incurred for a particular dog, the dogs age and condition. To finalize an adoption a contract is signed giving individuals legal ownership of the dog.
