Chia is a 2-year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua with a huge personality packed into a tiny body. She's playful, confident, and always ready to make you smile with her silly antics. If you're looking for a quiet dog, Chia probably isn't your girl—she has plenty to say and isn't shy about using her voice. Because of this, she'll do best in a home where barking won't be an issue. Chia has an adorable, puppy-like spirit and often seems much younger than her age. She loves playing with toys, chewing on bones, and zooming around the house. When meeting new people, she can be a bit dramatic—barking, chasing, and making a big first impression—but give her just a few minutes and she's ready to be your new best friend. She gets along well with both large and small dogs and has even done well with cats. While she enjoys having furry friends around, Chia also has a confident streak and likes to think she's in charge. Her big personality is part of her charm! Chia is very food motivated, which should make continued training fun and rewarding. She's still working on her house-training skills and is making progress. She sleeps soundly under the covers at night and loves being close to her people. She isn't a fan of the crate and may cry or howl for a short time when kenneled, so a home where crating isn't a regular necessity would be ideal. Since she's only been kenneled with other dogs nearby, we're not sure how she'd do if left completely alone. She walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and absolutely loves attention and affection. Chia will thrive in an adult-only home with someone who appreciates her spirited personality and is willing to continue helping her build confidence and good manners. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, entertaining little companion who will keep you laughing and never let you miss the doorbell, Chia just might be your perfect match. Chia is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready 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.
