Known for forming strong bonds with their people, they are often affectionate lap dogs who crave companionship. With their alert and curious personalities, Chihuahuas are expressive and often full of character. They tend to be sensitive and thrive in calm, loving environments. A Chihuahua is a devoted and spirited little companion who just wants a soft place to land and a warm person to love. Kitty’s Story & Personality Kitty is a sweet but timid little lady who came to the rescue a bit under-socialized. She is learning lots of new and wonderful things about being a beloved pet in her foster home and is loving all the cozy, fluffy blankets she gets to burrow into! Kitty can be skittish and a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience, she warms up and enjoys gentle pets and cuddles. Kitty is both potty-trained and crate-trained, and she loves curling up in her crate for a nap (especially with a good pile of blankets!). She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home, although she prefers to keep to herself rather than engage in play. She enjoys time outside and is learning how to walk on a leash—we think she’ll love short neighborhood strolls once she gains more confidence! Kitty’s Perfect Home A calm, quiet household Older children or an adult-only home Patient, experienced adopter who can give her time to blossom A fenced yard or safe outdoor space to explore A cozy home with lots of soft blankets and quiet corners Someone who will continue to monitor her health and provide the care she deserves Medical Notes Kitty will need a special adopter who can continue to care for her medically. She has a history of mammary gland cysts (which have been removed) and is being monitored for an enlarged heart and signs of intervertebral disc disease. She is resilient, shows no signs of pain, and still enjoys life—she just needs the chance to feel safe and loved in a forever home. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this tiny, resilient sweetheart, please apply online at .crisisdogsnc. Kitty can’t wait to find her happily ever after. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: crisisdogsnc/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits.

  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.
