Dogs in Care with New Zealand Chihuahua Rescue

• Please click the above images of the dogs and view their profiles. We "match" dogs to owners based on the adopter requirements. Read carefully to determine whether you honestly meet those. If you do, please apply! Adopter requirements are not to offend or exclude adopters. They have been decided after careful thought and testing, to ensure we are transparent about the homes we require. 

• If you are a match for the dog you are interested in, download the Adoption Application form found at the bottom of the "adoption" pages and complete the Form.

• The above dogs are the dogs that are in our care currently. At times, we may have others in our care that former owners request we do not advertise. In this case,  we exclusively consult adopters from our database. So we encourage you to submit an adoption application if you are looking for a companion.

• If you are interested in any of our dogs, please submit an application form, together with the enclosures noted. We don't call Applicants or plan meet/greets until that first step is completed. Read more by clicking on the "adoption" tab.

• If the current dogs above are not available in your area, or you do not match their adopter requirements. Tick the "wish to be added to the database portion of the Adoption Application and submit. We will hold your details in our database.

• We encourage you to do so as we often review this database for applicants before advertising a dog.

• If we already have an application from you and you see a dog advertised that you meet the adopter requirements of, Simply email us expressing your interest. 

• Please be as detailed as possible in your adoption application - it's not about submitting one quickly; you need to note down all the information that will make us want to select you!

• Please do not  email us asking what dogs are available or sending information about your personal situation and asking us to call you. We will simply refer you back to the website and our adoption application.
