Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). wagoninn.rescuegroups Chong (and Cheech) were adopted from Wag On Inn early last year, but have sadly been returned through no fault of their own (their previous owner is no longer able to care for them). They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. These boys are adorable, sweet, and very loving. They love attention and love to snuggle together in a comfy bed under a blanket. They are good with other dogs (they lived with both large and small dogs) and have previously been around cats but we don't know about small kids. These boys are very mellow and fairly low maintenance (especially Chong) and would fit well in most homes. Chong has some alopecia which the veterinarian thinks may be due to genetics. There is no active infection (no redness) nor does it seem to bother Chong at all - he does not itch nor scratch. At the time of Chong's dental, we were able to get an x-ray of his back/spine which revealed that he has a natural curve in his spine which results in him having an arched back - it's just part of his bone structure. This does not affect his mobility other than he does not jump (up or down) nor will he do stairs. Otherwise, he gets around fine. The boys do not do well with leashes/harnesses, but they are trained on pee pee pads and do go outside in a fenced yard. Please note that their age is only an estimate and we can't guarantee its accuracy. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require at minimum annual veterinary care, training, exercise, enrichment, etc ... Pet care is not cheap nor easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training needed prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home. They have been fixed, microchipped and they are up to date on vaccines. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. The adoption fee for the pair is $900. How to Adopt Me!

Overview:
The Chihuahua, a captivating breed known for its diminutive size, boasts an ancient and somewhat mysterious origin, with most theories pointing to Mexico as its birthplace, potentially descending from the "Techichi," a small companion dog of the Toltec civilization. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their small, compact bodies, large expressive eyes, and erect ears, appearing in both smooth and long-coated varieties, showcasing a vast array of colors and markings. Despite their tiny stature, Chihuahuas possess a big personality; they are often described as spirited, alert, and fiercely loyal to their owners, sometimes displaying a bold and confident demeanor. While their small size makes them exceptionally well-suited for apartment living, they thrive in homes where they receive ample attention and mental stimulation. They can be good family pets for older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog, but their delicate build makes them less suitable for boisterous toddlers. Regarding health, Chihuahuas can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, heart problems, and dental issues, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their well-being.
