Chia is a two year old, 8 pound chihuahua. First off, this tiny girl can bark so if you live somewhere that this will be an issue, please keep scrolling. Chia is full of energy and personality! She loves to play with toys and chew on bones. She’s very puppy like and seems younger than her stated age of 2. At first meet she will bark, chase, and act a fool but within just a few minutes she will be your friend. She gets along with all the dogs, big and small, in the house even if she gets jealous sometimes. For a small thing, she exudes a lot of confidence and tries to be the boss. She’s even fine with the cats. Chia is very food motivated so hopefully will train easily. She’s still working on house training. She sleeps well under the covers through the night. She will howl cry when left in a kennel but recently she only does it for a short period of time, but still a kennel may never be ideal for her. She’s also only been left in the kennel when other dogs are in the room so we aren’t sure how she’d do alone. She loves attention and getting loved on. She walks well on a leash and is good in the car. So if you are looking for a fun loving, playful girl who loves to bark, please apply. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

  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.
