Adoption from New Zealand Chihuahua Rescue

---

Please remember: when choosing homes for our rescue dogs, our main consideration is the welfare and best interests of the dog, then making sure they're going to be a good match for the adopter! We want to find forever loving homes which match the dogs' needs. It is not a case of first in, first served or choosing based on color preference or gender. We want the most compatible home for dogs and for your benefit too! Although we understand it can be an emotional process and you may experience disappointment, we appreciate your patience and respect of our final decision.

• Step One: please carefully read the dog's profile and ensure that you meet the adopter requirements before applying (to avoid disappointment!).

• If you're unsure which dog would be best for your family, or if you don't feel any of the current dogs are a match for you - we suggest completing the adoption application anyway. Some dogs are adopted from the database of applicants we hold already, others may not be advertised on our website for various reasons. So submitting your application and noting your requirements for your new pet means we're able to contact you if we have a match.

• Step Two: fill out the adoption application thoroughly. The more we know about you and your circumstances - the better we are able to match you and your family to a new companion!

• Step Three: please ensure you read our FULL Adoption Agreement (below) as this contains the obligations that you will be bound by if adopting from our Rescue. When you sign the Adoption Application, you are agreeing to those terms!
