Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions below. If you have any additional queries, please feel free to contact us.
Q: Can I View The Dogs Available for Adoption?
A: We don’t have physical kennels for our dogs. Instead, our Chihuahuas are placed in foster homes to minimize their stress. This means we don’t have a public viewing area, but you can learn more about our dogs through their profiles and updates provided by their foster families.
Q: How Much Does It Cost To Adopt a Chihuahua?
A: The non-refundable adoption donation is £400 per Chihuahua. This donation helps cover essential medical expenses such as neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations. It also contributes to additional costs like transport and foster care. Our organization is non-profit and run entirely by volunteers. For more details, please review our Terms and Conditions.
Q: How Can I Apply To Adopt a Chihuahua?
A: To apply, please complete our adoption application form. We’ll review your application and get in touch with you.
Q: Can I Apply To Foster a Chihuahua?
A: Absolutely! Please fill out our adoption application form and indicate in the comments section that you’re interested in fostering.
Q: How Long Will I Have to Wait To Adopt a Dog?
A: We often have more applicants than available dogs. We aim to match each Chihuahua with the most suitable home from our approved waiting list, so the process isn’t based on a first-come, first-served basis.
Q: What Happens If a Suitable Chihuahua Becomes Available?
A: If a Chihuahua that matches your preferences becomes available, we will contact you with details about the dog and the next steps.
Q: What is a Home Check?
A: A home check involves a visit to ensure your home is safe and secure for our dogs. It’s a chance for us to verify that your environment is suitable and for you to ask any questions you may have.
Q: When Will the Home Check Be Conducted?
A: After we receive and process your application form, we’ll reach out to schedule a convenient time for the home check.
Q: I Have Young Children. Can I Adopt a Chihuahua?
A: We do not rehome Chihuahuas with children under 10 years of age, except in exceptional circumstances. This policy helps ensure the dogs’ and children’s safety and well-being.
