Available adult chihuahuas
At times, we may have some adult Chihuahuas available to pet homes. These dogs are fully up to date on vaccinations and dewormed, but they do still need to be spayed or neutered. We believe that people value things more when they invest something into them, and we want these beautiful dogs to be valued in their new homes, so we do ask a $250 rehoming fee for these dogs, but that money goes towards their spay and dental cleanings before they leave here. Most of these dogs are our retirees, but we may occasionally add a younger one that we kept but later decided not to add to our program for some reason. Each of these dogs has his/her own personality, peculiarities, likes and dislikes, so if you are interested in any of them, please don't hesitate to contact me to find out more about them. These babies are not rescues or in need of saving. They are wonderful dogs that deserve loving pet homes and have lots to offer prospective families. We would love to find wonderful pet homes for each one, but if we don't, that Chihuahua will live his or her life out here with us. We may be able to offer shipping for some of these babies, but we do reserve the right to refuse shipping if we deem it necessary. Shipping the adults costs a little more than shipping the puppies, and may vary by airline.
Adopting an adult Chihuahua
Many people think that adopting an adult Chihuahua will be easier than raising a puppy, but that is not always true. Yes, sometimes you will have an easier time with an adult making the transition, but in many cases, adopting an adult is similar to adopting a puppy, and can even be more challenging for a number of reasons. Adult Chihuahuas already know an established routine, and have formed bonds with us. So, sometimes, it is difficult for them to change their routine. They will form bonds with their new families, but it may take more time than with a puppy. Also, even the best house trained adult may regress when going into a new home. For this reason, we will be equally as picky about where we place our adults as we are about where we place our puppies. You must be aware that you are not necessarily getting a "ready made" companion with these babies, and be willing to put in the work that may be required to help these precious dogs settle in to your family well. Believe me, these dogs are well worth the work! They have tons of love and affection to give the right family.

Miss Violet is a beautiful solid lavender long coat girl. She's only 4 years old, so she has lots of years left to love her new family, but it is time for her to retire. Violet is a sweetheart with a very soft fluffy coat. She is a stocky apple head with more of a block head shape. This girl is medium energy, so she can do just as well in an active household as in a quiet one. She is moderately dominant with other dogs (not aggressive though), but not dominant with us. She's a very sweet girl and will make a wonderful addition to your family.
