Chihuahua Dogs For Adoption in Charlotte, NC, USA

He is up to date on his shots and he is neutered. Butter is a little on the timid side, but he is extremely sweet. It took him a few days to trust his foster mom, but after she gained his trust, he’s been very affectionate and loving. Butter is doing great with his house training and he is crate trained. Butter loves the other dogs in his foster home and he is also fine with the two cats that live there. One of his favorite things is playing fetch in the backyard; he also loves chasing the other dogs and will sometimes play tug with them. He can run for hours in the backyard; he is also good at coming in and settling down on the couch for some cuddling. Since Butter is a little timid, he is sometimes scared when walking on a leash, especially in crowds of people. Butter would do best in a forever home that understands he needs a little time to warm up to new people and also understands it may take some time and training in order for him to be comfortable on his leash when there are other people around. Butter is a great dog who can’t wait to find his forever home. If you are interested in adopting Butter please submit an inquiry directly with Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. ***Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers and we require a home check for each of our adoptable pets prior to them going to their new homes, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family further than 60 miles from Charlotte is responsible for finding a representative of a rescue local to them that is willing to perform the home check. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to meet/pick up the pet as soon as the application is approved.***

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
