Personality:

Please note: further details will be added as we get to know the new arrival better as they have just entered NZCR care.



Health: 

[NAME] will spend some time settling into foster care, before meeting with our vet. From there, we will know whether any medical treatments or procedures are needed. Any issues, or ongoing health costs an Adopter will need to consider, will be noted here on this profile.


Note: All dogs from NZCR are adopted only after being medically cleared by our vet, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped (registered with the NZ Companion Animal Register and local Council), and treated for fleas and worms

 

Next Steps:

Each incoming dog will spend time settling into foster care. They will visit our vet for their consult and to book in any desexing, dentals or any other necessary treatment. While in our care, we continue to update their profiles with details on their health, behaviour needs, and quirks. Foster parents observe the dogs as they become comfortable in their new environment to assess any behaviour or training needs, which helps determine their adopter requirements. The profiles are updated regularly, so if you're interested in a dog, please check back for "available for adoption" status and apply IF you meet their requirements.



Adopter Requirements: 

* Please refrain from applying just yet, as we haven’t listed the adopter requirements. We need time to understand the dog’s personality and needs. If you're interested, please check back for updates and apply when the dog is ready for adoption.


Note: Before applying to adopt, please ensure you meet the adopter requirements listed above. These guidelines are set with the dogs' needs in mind, based on input from foster carers. If you do not meet these requirements, your application will be declined as there are no exceptions. Please review the criteria carefully. Thank you! 


Adoption Fee: $TBC to be paid to the NZCR trust account no. 03-0823-0074502-000

 

Note: Our adoption fees reflect the dog’s age, health, and care needs. They cover microchipping (NZCAR registration), vaccinations, de-sexing, current-year council registration, and any necessary treatments, including flea/worm treatments, medications, surgeries (e.g., dental), and food. Payment plans are not available, as adopters must show financial readiness for the expense that comes with pet ownership. Click below for more details on our adoption process. 

How do the dogs receive the care needed to ready them for adoption?

New Zealand Chihuahua Rescue is a registered New Zealand charity run by a small team of passionate volunteers. The funds raised go towards the dogs in our care (and any community dogs we may support). Our modest income is a result of your kind donations, sponsorship, and our fundraising projects. The dogs in care each require medical or behavioural assistance so we're often short on funds - sadly this limits how many dogs we can help!


If you can, please consider donating to our cause either as a one-off or on an ongoing basis. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference! As we are a registered charity, please contact us for a receipt to claim back 33.33% of your donation from the IRD.
