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 their adopter requirements. To avoid disappointment, please read their profiles carefully to determine whether you honestly meet their requirments. If you do, please apply! 

• Adopter requirements are not noted to offend or exclude adopters. They are determined by the team who know the dog well. We list these openly 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  location or you're not a match for their adopter requirements. You can still submit an adoption application and we will hold your details in our database.

• If we already have an application from you (within the last 6 months) and you see a dog advertised who would be a match for you - please email us.

• We ask you to be as detailed as possible in your adoption application - so we know what kind of home you offer and the traits you need in a companion.

• Please do not email us asking what dogs are available or sending information about your personal situation and asking for us to call you. We don't keep those details, to be considered for a dog with NZCR you must submit the adoption application.
