After we lost our beloved Zeke in December after 13 years, I just could not get over the loss. After some talking with a friend and reviewing this site, the contact between the chair person, my interviewer and the foster mom of my new BFF, I could not have asked for a better loving friend. While he doesn't replace Zeke, he has given me the chance to love yet another animal just as much. I would love to adopt another and I will when the time is right for my family. Thank you so much Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue for taking such good of our new little family member before he came to be our new little man!

I have been volunteering for Chihuahua Small Dog Rescue for almost two years. This organization's heart is for the small dogs that are left alone in shelters, needing medical attention and love from a caring family. I have seen sweet little dogs placed in loving homes repeatedly. The homes are visited and checked for safety before the little dog is actually placed into the adoption. Chihuahua Small Dog Rescue is very cautious that each little dog is matched to the right family; depending on personalities of the littles ones as well as their adoptive family. Every placement is unique. I would recommend this organization to anyone desiring a sweet little companion. All the little rescues are adorable and are ready to give their love and receive love with a new safe home.

Yes, I have fostered a little rescue until he was matched and placed into a loving family. It was a joy to have the foster doggie in my home as well as finding the right home for him. I have also witnessed adoption placements that were very successful.

I adopted a dog from Chihuahua Small Dog Rescue. They took very good care of her and got her healthy before putting her up for adoption. Her foster mom helped after I adopted her with a few things too. You can tell that the volunteers have a passion for their mission and really love the dogs in their care!

I volunteered for this organization interviewing prospective adoptive families, taking pictures of yards, etc. They are very concerned about the animals and want to be sure they are placed in good, long term homes. Everyone in the organization loves pets and are open to caring for them until they find good homes.
I am also an adoptive parent of a small dog rescured from a puppy mill. It has taken her quite some time to learn to play and enjoy being around people, but she is now a loving little pet. The representatives made sure I would be good for her. The organization makes sure the animal is neutered, has all shots, has no dental problems and is chipped.
This is a great organization and I will continue to work for them and help them find good homes for all the small dogs.

I am a volunteer with Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue. This is such a wonderful organization to be with.
All of the little ones that come into our rescue (and no, we don't just rescue chihuahuas, we rescue little dogs 15 pounds and less) are fostered in private homes. We have no shelter facility.
We bring these little dogs into our homes and hearts and love and care for them as we do our own in hopes that we can help them find trust, love, and the best forever home possible.
We can always use additional volunteers in many different avenues and invite you to join us.

I have been a foster failure as I fostered a little dog that I could not bear to let go to another home. Beauty has become a member of my family for the rest of her life and may it be a long one. I have been blessed to see many little ones find their forever homes and sometimes even get little progress reports and pictures from their new parent(s).

ask that we be so overwhelmed with volunteers that we would never have to say no to rescuing a dog that needs us.

I was fortunate enough to volunteer with this organization for a little more than a year. This is truly an amazing group of selfless people. Most volunteers put as much time into this organization as they did with their full time paying jobs. Yes, most of them also held down a full time job! I was touched by the generosity and care which many people cared for some of the animals that came into the Rescue. Many of the little ones came to us as neglected or physically abused dogs, but they all left with a little more trust in humanity. I also adopted a little guy. He was very shy, had trust issues and had quite a temperament. I'm happy to say that he is a valued member of my family and has come full circle. CSDR makes the world a better place.

My parents adopted a dog from the Chihuahua and Small Dog resuce, and we have adopted two. The people are amazing and they put their full hear and soul into what they do. They are truly amazing people giving of their time, home, money and other resources. They also take precious and careful time in fitting a dog with a new home to make sure the fit is best for everyone involved.

The Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue makes sure every dog is in it's peak! Every dog sees a vet to make sure it is tip top condition before it is ever considered for adoption. I know personally of dogs who have been given excellent care. Whether they are adopted immediately or not, medical care is extremely important to this organization.
They are also very careful of who gets to adopt the dogs rescued. Some of these animals have not had good experiences in the past and this organization makes sure that the future for these animals is the best possible.

I do in home visits for the Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue
in Colorado. I personally have adopted two dogs from the rescue. I would recommend them! The dogs I have adopted at two different times had been in a home and given love and medical attention that they needed before coming to me. Abbey & Sugar are wonderful dogs and I believe it is because of the Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue. I was asked to be a part of the rescue and I am pleased to be a part of putting wonderful dogs into a good home. The Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue
is the only place that I would want to adopt from again because of my personal experiences with them.

Find ways to add more foster homes! The organizers have to turn dogs in need away because of the lack of foster homes to place them in.
