It was a pleasure working with Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Inc. They paid great attention to my application and I really respected how thorough they were in checking references. The interview/home check was also well organized and made perfect sense. On "Gotcha Day," the volunteers were extremely organized and handled each of the dogs with lots of care. I was very happy with the information provided to me regarding my dog prior to his transport day, as well as relieved that so many of his medical was taken care of ahead of time (neutered and up to date on vaccines). I love my little guy and I am so happy I found him through this amazing rescue.

Two amazing experiences we have had up here in Buffalo, NY with TCR. The fosters are awesome along with the awesome transport team...they actually went a few miles out of their way so we didn't have to load the kids in the car late at night to pick our little up. Thank you!

We adopted our little Eva from Texas Chihuahua rescue, our coordinator did an outstanding job getting us connected with her. It was extremely easy progress and they are doing a fantastic job taking care of these foster puppies. I would totally recommend them to everybody I know who wants to get a puppy.

I adopted Eddie from TXCR and the support that I have received from my coordinator and foster mom has been acceptional. I experienced prompt and comforting responses from them. Eddie is a quick learner and we are adjusting beautifully. I can not thank TXCR and all the staff enough for matching up Eddie and me. We will be forever grateful.

We adopted 5 year old Tucker [TXRC Donovan] in the past month. We receive ongoing support from the adoption coordinator which is appreciated. Communication with TXRC through the application to adopt was thorough and appropriate to ensure we were the best home for Tucker.

We adopted our boys from TX Chihuahua Rescue earlier this month and had the best experience! Tamie handled their adoption with care, kindness, and professionalism. She maintained strong communication throughout the process and helped us get the boys all the way from TX to TN! We are so grateful to Tamie for all her support throughout the adoption process, for Kimberly transporting the boys safely across a great distance during winter, and for Jean helping with their microchip registration. Everyone at TX Chihuahua rescue has been great and we’ve been so impressed by this organization! I would recommend anyone looking for a Chihuahua or small breed dog to go through TX Chihuahua Rescue. Thank you, TX Chihuahua Rescue for adopting our precious little boys to us!!

Meet Lily! I have been searching for a small dog for some time. I saw Lily’s picture on the Texas Chihuahua Rescue. The minute I saw her I knew she was the one. I had been in contact with Tami and she helped us make the connection. It was a seamless process and I am happy to recommend this rescue to anyone looking for a well prepared and healthy dog. As you can see she is fitting in perfect with our labs. Thank you Tami and all the selfless workers. ❤️

After losing both of our dogs in the summer of 2023, the time finally came for us to adopt again. My 14-year-old daughter and I fell in love with Sticky the moment we saw his picture on the TXCR site. After our application was approved, we made the 2-hour trip from Austin to meet him. We were both so happy to see how clean the space was and how happy the animals were. Tamie was kind and helpful. She placed about 8 puppies in the room with us and Sticky immediately ran for my daughter's lap. A match made in heaven! But it didn't end there. Little Penny (then Percy) nuzzled into my neck and the decision was made. 2 puppies! Thank you so much for all that you do for these babies and seniors. We are thrilled with our babies and with the experience we had with TXCR.

Angels, truly all the people that are involved in helping all these unwanted, unloved animals are true angels!! My sweet Oakley and his sister were to be euthanized and TCR jumped in and saved their lives! As soon as I seen sweet Oakley's face and heard his story I knew he would be a good fit for our family. The process was very smooth and quick. They do their research on potential adopters to ensure their pups are adopted to the best homes and will be loved forever! I can’t thank them enough for allowing us to love this spunky little guy, he is such an amazing addition to our family!

Such an amazing rescue! We adopted our little Dani in April 2024 and she is more than we could have ever imagined! She is the sweetest puppy who loves chewing, playing with her brother and demands snuggles every night. We can’t thank the Texas Chihuahua Rescue enough for saving Dani and bringing her into our lives.

We adopted our puppy in November from TCR and as a Canadian who connected with many rescues, this one was the best. Communication was excellent. Our puppy arrived with all its documentation and is a real sweetheart. Our little one is healthy , growing like a weed and a wonderful personality with everyone. You will not go wrong with TCR and connect with the Canadian counterpart if you live in Canada. These people are angels for these little lost furkids.

When my husband saw Molly (now Kali) it was love at first sight. Just like all the others we have adopted from TXCR she was just as her bio said. She fits in so well with our pack. Now we have 3 young dogs as well as our 2 seniors she maybe our last but who knows. If we ever adopt again I know where he/she will come from.

2023 was not our year in many ways. we lost 3 of our beloved dogs. 2 were from TXCR. When we were ready to add another dog of course we went back to TXCR. We fell in love with Daisy (now Gracie) and she came into our home early June. It was for sure an adjustment for our 2 older dogs but they are always accepting a new family member even if it was a pesky puppy who always wanted to play when all they wanted to do was sleep.

Fast forward to August. My husband and I were taking adopted and foster dogs to those waiting to pick them up. I was carrying this little terrier mix Ditto to her foster. I looked down at her and she gave such a huge sigh for such a little dog. Her eye was running. It looked like she was crying. Next thing I knew I was crying too. As we had only adopted Gracie 2 months before I know my vet check would still be valid. I had to have her too. Ditto became Millie on the way home.

Now we are a pack of 4 again. The old guys get to sleep and the puppies play. Everyone is happy.

TXCR do so much for the dogs before they go to their home. Fully vetted and loved on from the minute they enter their care. Thanks yet again for helping to heal our broken hearts.

I started as an adopter with the rescue six years ago after they brought me my first chi baby up from Texas, and we just fell in love. Since then I have worked as an adoption coordinator and now a foster parent. I have never known an organization run by more dedicated and caring humans.

This team save the lives of countless animals monthly, and this massive operation is run by an all-volunteer network. Every person on the team cares so much for the animals as well as their human families. It is truly the most special group I’ve had the privilege of working with.

Whether you’re looking to adopt, foster, or volunteer, you will be joining an amazing community of people and helping to save so many amazing dogs.

We adopted Miss Scruff now known as Rosie, and are proud to call her our baby!
The adoption/approval process was great and left no stone uncovered to make sure all dogs were getting the right homes and fit for the family.
Rosie arrived in Canada on the December 21st shuttle and went into foster care as we were out of the country. Rosie’s foster family, Lindsay and James could not have exceeded our expectations any higher. The communication was amazing with ongoing pictures and updates. We arranged to meet on Boxing Day, and they were kind enough to meet me 1/2 way of a two hour drive. Are they not the kindest people? I literally can’t say enough good things about them! We will always be forever grateful for them!
Our Rosie did not have good early start to life and is very timid and fearful at times, but we giving her the reassurance to be more confident . She is eager to please and proving to be very intelligent.. hello treat bowl! We have registered for training and are so excited about life with her. I have a little bag for her and we went grocery shopping and she just settled in and hung out while I did my thing. The future is bright

We anxiously awaited the arrival of our sweet little firbaby FAITH 9re named ELSA) Firstly I would like to mention the organization of this rescue, from Texas to Ancaster Ontario. The communication from them was so impressive. We had every bit of information we needed to actually pick up our new little girl. So organised and friendly we were so happy with the hand over. She has been with us for almost a week and she settled so quickly it feels like she has been with us for ever. We love our little ELSA and she is already the boss, took her just 2 days to go to the door for potty, sleeps in my bed all night.Cuddles and kisses she has in spades. We are 2 seniors and are so thrilled. After losing our last dog in August our home was empty, now we have a resaon to get up in the morning as she insists we do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We adopted our sweet Winnie (formerly named Girly) last week, through Texas Chihuahua Rescue, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Trudy, the coordinator, was incredibly helpful and made the entire process so easy. She answered all of our questions with patience and kindness, ensuring we felt confident every step of the way.

Roberta, Winnie’s foster mom, was truly amazing! She went above and beyond to answer our many questions and provided so much insight about Winnie’s personality and needs. It was clear that Winnie had been cared for and loved, which made her transition to our family so smooth.

Winnie has been such a welcome addition to our home—she is the sweetest girl! You can tell how much Texas Chihuahua Rescue cares for their animals, from the way they prepare them for adoption to the ongoing support they provide. This level of compassion and dedication is something I deeply value, and I’m so grateful to have worked with an organization that prioritizes the well-being of their dogs.

I can’t recommend Texas Chihuahua Rescue enough for anyone looking to adopt a furry family member. Thank you, Trudy, Roberta, and the entire team for bringing Winnie into our lives!

We are over the moon with our new little puppy . She arrived as SKITTLES and we soon changed her name to Missy. She is part Chihuahua and… now believe she is part WHIPPET. She has legs that go on for ever. She is a snuggly little girl. She has been doing great with her bath room duties and appears to feel very comfortable with us! We take her everywhere and she is so well behaved. The volunteers who brought us to her were amazing. It’s so obvious how much everyone loves these little animals. Thank you for all that you do.

Hello! I adopted Thor a few weeks ago from this organization. I have been having so much fun with him it has taken me awhile to get to this story. The lady who did the interview was so amazing. I had seen a little dog i thought would be a good match, but unfortunately by the time I got my information through to the agency, she had been adopted. This lady talked to me about what i would be looking for. She told me about Thor! He is a chihuahua x. 9 years old and 5 lbs….and such a good boy….i adore him❤️
He was being fostered in Toronto and this lady had met him, and could see what a lovely little soul he is……but i cant have a yappy dog because i live in a condo.
Well I picked him up, and it was love the first night. He has hardly barked….once he let out a little bark when he thought there was a stranger in the house …… he was warning me!
The adoption process is quite involved but they are very fussy about getting these little guys into a safe loving forever home. They sent him off with vet papers from their vets ….his shots are all up to date….he is micro chipped…..he had dental work…. He is very sociable with dogs and cats….they told me this…and he is. He is also very good with potty training….someone has taught him stuff lol. He walks out on a leash, goes p&p outside on walks but also will use a pee pad inside. It has been a great experience working with these people. They are truly a good and caring organization. I am so happy to have gotten Thor, he is a little gem…….I would like to thank all the people who took such good care of him until we found each other.

Hi there. I am James proud dogfather of Charlie. Was very much an isolated senior, do to a stunted personal life. Was tortured by my step-father, and spent years and years locked up in different penitentiarys. As a result I wasn't very good with straight John's. June of 23 I attempted suicide, couldn't handle being out of lock up. Society was my enemy. Finally decided to get some mental health help. Not going to bore you with details. But the introduction to Trudy, case management And Shirley the supervisor. Was a pivotal moment, because they don't judge. They both went out of their way to help me. And them picking Charlie for me, allowed the trapped little boy inside of me, to see some sunshine..Not going to say I am cured, because I am still far from that. But having Charlie, has given me a goal. To be the best dogfather to her for the rest of her days.

Adopted Sid (Emerson) and Diego (Poe) and couldn’t be happier with these two pups! My experience with TCRCanada has been fantastic! I had filled out applications with multiple rescues, TCR was the fastest at completing the application process. It was evident to me that they were more professional, more organized and after having my video interview, I was more impressed with the thorough questions, which also helps me, the adopter, know they care about who is adopting their rescues! Well done!

I've have a 3lb chihuahua for 13 years. She is very sweet and a bit busy. I thought she needs a younger beother around to give her energy. So, I adopted Bear, a beautiful 4 month old who can't sit close enough to you. He is so intelligent and what a talker if you are not right up in front of him. It was love at first site for me. My older dog was used to and like being the only child. She seldom plays with bear but she's interested and alway watching. It been almost a year and not much change but he knows she's the Queen and accepts it and every now and again she let him clearn her ears. It's very sweet. Her health is failling but he checks on her several times a day and blows off her old lady growls. I love it. What she doesn't give him I do. Thank you for filling my life with more love. Always room.

Adoption day was beautiful and I was in tears seeing all the beautiful families receive their new dogs. Receiving our pup was such a wonderful moment. He was everything we had hoped for and so much more! He is so well mannered and inherently intelligent, adaptable and also very funny! He is clearly loving his little life and his routine and rhythm.

What a great nonprofit rescue! I had been following this rescue for what seems like forever, and hoping one day my family would be able to adopt. We went to a meet and greet at a local Petsmart where we met our Wally. We fell in love immediately and knew he had to be ours. All of the volunteers were so informative and the process of adoption was smooth. I had all of my questions answered and felt good about the work this rescue was doing.

We recently reached out to Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Canada as we lost our beloved Harley(Chiweenie). We were heartbroken and so was his sister Ozzie(litter mate). So, we decided our family was no longer complete and we needed to fill the empty hole we had. Within a week we were approved and I happen to be looking at their Facebook page and came across a pair of eyes that I couldn’t stop looking at and said to the family I found him! Apollo(known as Chico) I emailed to put a hold on him and in less than 48hrs we were told he’s ours and we could pick him up on that coming Saturday! We were all over the moon with excitement and let me tell you he has been so good, loving and well mannered it isn’t funny. We are blessed to have him as our own and would 100% use them again and refer them. The amount of people that are involved is phenomenal and from what I witnessed they work like a well oiled machine. Thank you for all you do!

I am a firm believer in adopting, and after following this rescue on social media, I knew this is the one I wanted to adopt from. They are passionate about helping these puppies! My interaction was pleasant, and professional. They do their Do Diligents with references and home checks. They are very good communicating about the dog you are adopting, and give you all the information they have. Pick up was smooth and the volunteers where amazing! The wonderful woman who helped transport them, kissed each puppy as she handed them off to their forever home. This will be were I will look for another puppy.

After we lost our Winston I began a trip down the rabbit while of adoption agencies when a friend told me about the Canadian Texas Chihuahua rescue. I searched their site on Facebook and saw that it wasn’t just chihuahuas but a variety of dogs and puppies that were for adoption. Then I saw a post about getting pre approved for adoption. I thought I wasn’t quite ready yet to adopt but thought I would get pre approved to speed up the process. The whole process was well executed. I was approved one weekend and immediately saw a post for our Griffin. I sent my hold email and was approved for adoption. The fee was reasonable and he was transported last April. Right from the beginning to the well organized hand off it was a well oiled operation! I would definitely adopt from this organization again.

I had been searching for a chihuahua. I found Texas Chihuahua Rescue and made a 2 1/2 hour drive there to see. The rescue is amazing. You can really tell the dogs and puppies were very well taken care of. The environment was so clean. It was a difficult choice to only choose one. I have since shared my experience with several people and I am pretty sure at least one of my friends, if not already, will be adopting a puppy from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. I was in-love with my little Eloise before we even left the driveway. She is an amazing puppy and has nestled herself right into our family. Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue!!

We spent good portion of last year searching for our companion. Someone to love and to brighten our days. We wanted female puppy or young dog that is on a smaller size (but not too small), unique looking. (And there is nothing more unique than little mutts. Not to mention how good it feels to save the life).
We didn’t want to consider Kajiji or similar sources for a fear of supporting back-yard breeders/puppy mills so we focused on rescue groups.
We started our search on Petfinder. We live in Canada but majority of the dogs that we wanted were from the States. I had sent half of dozen of applications in past year but, despite our willingness to travel there, our applications were either completely ignored or the dogs would be adopted within a day. Most organizations wouldn’t even consider adopting out of state, or further than few hours drive from the headquarters. While I understood the logic behind it, it didn’t make our search easier. We thought, working from home, having fenced-in yard and experience with the dogs (and currently no other pets or children in the house) would make process easier, but it didn’t.
That is, until I came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue Inc. There was profile of a little girl I saw few weeks earlier. She seemed much smaller than we originally wanted, but I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Finally, on New Year’s Eve (while waiting for friends), I contacted organization, asking if she were adopted or not, because I could still see her profile, but couldn’t apply. Few hours later (!! - was very impressed!), I received application via E-mail. I filled it out the application the following morning (January 1). Co-ordinator did superb job, send me further instructions the same day (!), making reference checks and home inspection super fast (we didn’t even have enough time to clean the house properly LOL) - and few days later I was holding our dog in my arms. (It just happened that she already arrived in Canada earlier and foster mom was kind to accommodate us the following day.) I didn’t expect to receive anything (and it really wasn’t necessary), but our girl came with her health and other papers, harness, coats/sweater, pee-pads, toys, poop bags, food and other goodies. It made me sad and it made me appreciative of all the effort the organization puts in their rescues. She was also fully vaccinated and microchipped. I only wish she wasn’t spayed so early, as a baby (I prefer laparoscopic spaying and would be happy to do it when fully grown), but I do completely understand the logic behind it. So thank you for caring.
My husband was thrilled that we didn’t have to travel all the way to Texas, and his dream to have miniature dog finally came to fruition (I was more of a “Larger dogs Gal” so he never had the honours until now).

At first, our puppy was greedy for food, was very cuddly from the first day and was peeing all over the house. After a week she started eating like a lady (it helped that we cooked for her and were giving her food every 4-6 hours until she figured “O. K. - food is coming in large quantities and very often - not to mention the healthy snacks - there is no need to gobble as much as we can”), but after the meal she would start running around, like on batteries, and barking on weird sights and sounds, like postman, sneezing etc. - to let us know that she was on top of things in this household and that she was “earning her keep”, after which she would settle.
Week later, we discovered that she wasn’t as “composed” as it looked at first. “Hurricane Lula” hit us in full force and we have been trying to tidy up around since than, with very little success (which is good excuse not to tidy up on the first place). She is particularly fond of socks, sleeves and fingers.
The pooping and peeing training might take longer, but we like to think it’s doable. We still find little poop gifts under my husband’s desk in home office, on heat vents and other corners, but as a plus, Lula was trained in foster home to pee on pee pads (most of the time). When the weather is warmer, there is chance she would consider doing her business outside. Oh, well. One day at the time.
In meantime, she trained us not to move much during the night because she likes to sneak under the covers and work her way up to your pillow. Sometimes she attaches herself to you in your mid-section, like a little heat pad. All in all, getting to know each other and loving each other more and more each passing day.

Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue for saving lives and making it easier for us to bring them to homes in Canada.

After losing our beloved 16 year old dog in December 2023, we reached out to TXCR over the holidays to inquire about the adoption process, not really expecting to hear back for a little while. To our delight, they responded the same day and walked us through all the necessary steps. They conduct a thorough screening, which lets you know that they truly care where and who their puppies will end up with and that they want to ensure it is the best fit possible. Our coordinator was always super responsive, organized and helpful. The puppy’s foster was also great. TXCR made our first rescue adoption process as smooth as possible!

I am so grateful for Texas Chihuahua Rescue and the important work they do for dogs. I never thought I would adopt a dog and I had a stigma about adopted dogs. But that all changed when I found my dog Ariel through Texas Chihuahua Rescue. I absolutely adore her. She is the sweetest, smartest, most loving little dog and I can't imagine my life without her. I can tell how much gratitude she has to be in a stable home with a cozy bed and an abundance of food and water. She has made my life better and the lives of people close to me better as well. My aunt and uncle are going through a difficult time after losing their dog of 17 years and two of their brothers to terminal illness in a short period of time. I bring Ariel over to their house and she lays with them. You can see how much it improves their mood and distracts them from their present situation.

Through Texas Chihuahua rescue I learned that Chihuahuas are the second most euthanized dog breed in Texas and one of the most abused/neglected breeds as well. These little creatures do not deserve to be a part of these statistics. There are a lot of unfair stigmas that surround the Chihuahua breed. These dogs deserve to be in an environment that allows them to live up to their full potential and feel safe. Texas Chihuahua Rescue and their fosters are doing amazing work for these dogs. Please donate to them, and give one of their dogs a chance if you are able. They are a professional organization that truly cares about what they are doing. I appreciate that they interview and approve candidates before they are able to adopt the dogs as well. This is such an important step at ensuring that each dogs second chance at life is a good one.

I have included pictures of Ariel. She is approximately 2 years old, with soft tan fur that has cute patches of white. She reminds me of a little fawn. She was originally 6lbs but is now closer to 8lbs. When we first adopted her she had a pronounced head tilt, which has now almost practically disappeared (unless she is curious about something of course lol). Her eyes also became clearer after a few weeks of adopting her, you can now see the hints of light brown and orange (originally her eyes just looked black). Being in Canada and adopting her in the winter made us nervous because originally she did not want to go out in the cold, and despite having pee pads our carpets took a couple hits. She has gotten used to the change in climate from Texas and no longer has any accidents in the house. She is so smart and well adjusted that she now runs to the backdoor and asks to be let out for a pee and poop whenever she needs it. The transformation that we have seen in this dog in the month she has been with us is remarkable and shows how much an environment can impact the physical and emotional behaviour of a dog.

Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue for working hard to give these amazing dogs a second chance life. I am forever grateful for the work that you do.

From the beginning of our application process through adoption and post adoption, Texas Chihuahua Rescue has been the most amazing organization to work with. We had applied to many rescue organizations trying to find our new family member - TXCR was the most thorough in their application and screening process, and to us had the best reputation (and still does) for the best placement for their dogs. We have been so impressed with their professionalism, support, and their overall approach to the adoption process. We will be continuing to support TXCR for years to come!!!

We weren't sure if we were ready for another pup in the home after we lost our Rosie but a friend shared the site with us and we couldn't get over all the stories and love we would see every day. Then we saw this little chubby puppy and new he had to come home.
Interviewing and completing the process was so easy and painless. The volunteers made sure everything was in order and kept us up to date on Trapper (FKA Damien) health as he had Kennel cough. Our pick up date was concerning for us because we came from Northern Ontario in a snow storm and we weren't sure the team would make it to Ancaster! They drove through Buffalo getting 3 feet of snow and made sure everyone got here safely!
I have told so many friends who want to rescue to go through TXCR because they are passionate about what they do and care so much that the right pup goes to the right home!

When I started looking for a dog, I started following different Rescues on Instagram. I saw sweet faces everyday, then one day Lola (Sammy) showed up and I knew I wanted to go meet her. When my mom and I got to the rescue we were very impressed with the set up they had. Everything there is so clean and organized. We went to a room and several dogs came in to visit. Lola was a little shy and I had to go over to her, but before long, she would walk up to me if I moved away from her. I’ve had her for about 2 months now and she is the sweetest. This rescue will have my continued support. I love everything about it.

Recently I adopted again, a wee man named El Chapo. This is my fourth adoption with TXCR. Sherman was just a wee pup 4 years ago, then Little Lou 21 years young, and Rosie who had a heart condition. Lou and Rosie lived out their time with me, yes my heart broke but that short time (a year and a half) was such a special time. Those ladies went everywhere with me, enjoyed all the treats and love. Both passed in my arms, right where they should have been.
Sherman has come so far in his 4 years with me, still learning to trust but he has a kind and silly soul. Peanut ( Elchapo) is living his best now chasing frogs and lots of snuggling. TXCR has been amazing every time even offering support and guidance along the way.

It really hit home with me after I had brought my new fur baby home, he is so amazing and it makes me so sad to think there are so many more amazing dogs that are euthanized.

I must add I made new friends with the amazing adopters who rescued Ozzie's 2 brothers Pyro and Rhys, and we are constantly in touch. Thank you again TXCR for my 100 pound honourary Chihuahua, who puts his head on my shoulder when we are driving in the car, and who makes me laugh everyday.

But something happen while being out one evening my daughter and my doggie sitter both send me a picture of a little boy call Ted within 20 mins of each other we where like no we can’t ,but ended up saying well if it’s meant to be it will happen . So we applied and Ted was already adopted by then ,we tried another time and missed out again another little boy . Now miss Eevie was always there but she has her problems and demons poor little thing had been through it . We talk put it off a couple of times with concerns about her be aggressive towards her brothers . But talk more about what we could offer a trouble baby like Eevie , love food warm home companionship medical help and above all feeling safe. We lost our luis what a great way to give back then to give a little fur baby a safe forever home so we adopted her. Now Eevie comes with issues but we are getting use to her, she will not let us pick her up put anything on her she’s almost goes into a self protection mode curls up and if we pick her up she’s screams and will nip but not bite hard.

We rescued Kenickie (formerly (Mogwai) through Texas Chihuahua Rescue and Texas Chihuahua Rescue Canada. Everything about the experience was positive from the moment we laid eyes on him to picking him up, to now him being the final member of our furry crew.

The adoption process was professional to say the least. As a pet lover, it put me at ease to know how thorough the application process is and how much that will help these dogs find their safe and loving forever homes.

After we adopted Kenickie I was at pleasantly surprised at the support we recieved. Volunteers checked in to make sure we were all settling in okay, and made sure we knew if we had any questions we could always come to them. There is even an alumni Facebook group where we all connect!!!

All I can say is it is evident how much the volunteers genuinely love doing this. I am forever grateful to everyone who was involved in bringing our baby to us����

We adopted a beautiful wee fur baby from TCR and she was very healthy, all shots, teeth, and care given. These people are wonderful, asI now volunteer for them. I checked with many other non profit groups when looking to adopt and this one was the best by far. Please donate to these wonderful people

We decided to get a little brother/sister for our rescue dog Buddy. I wanted a small dog that I could handle with my shoulder injury. We decided on a Chihuahua. Online I found Texas Chihuahua Rescue Canada. Once we got approved it was easy to pick a "baby" with the help of our kind and caring co'ordinator Diane. We applied for a few puppies and got approved for Rusty. Transfer day was so easy and uncomplicated and our little man came home a week ago today. If you want a small dog, give TXCR major consideration please. They are good at what they do, very helpful and caring. Texas has a huge need for the services they provide and there are plenty of these babies available. Thanks a lot Texas Chihuahua Rescue Canada for allowing us to adopt our little boy Rusty.

We had a fantastic experience adopting through the Texas Chihuahua Rescue. Our coordinator, Emma, was very informative, happy to answer any questions, and easily accessible. The entire process was very stress free, pickup was well organized and we were lucky enough to have Everly come up on a mini transport so she joined our family sooner than we originally thought would be possible. I know three other families that also adopted through TXCR and had positive experiences. I would (and have) highly recommend anyone wanting to add a pup to their life to start their search here. I don’t consider myself a “small dog” person (my last boy was a Rottweiler) but was still able to find the perfect fit with Ev who could reach up to 70 lbs once she’s fully grown. The description they provided of her fits her to a tee and we couldn’t be happier.

Always a dog mom of BIG dogs…I decided I needed a Chihuahua in my life. My dream to rescue a Chi led me to follow TCR on Facebook. Then one day it happened. In April 2016, I was scrolling my feed at 7am when I saw her…the one. I just knew in my heart. I applied immediately…applying for a dog before I had had my morning coffee or even asked my husband. When fate calls, you act. I had an amazing adoption experience. A few days later I had my baby Cricket (formally Cinnamon). She had been in foster care and I was blown away at the amount of details I received about her. I received a letter from the foster mom outlining all her little quirks and it helped me to understand her quickly. The training was amazing - she could be off leash and loved her crate. She was settled in within an hour of having her - it really was a dream. Queue up December 2022 where I decided to now adopt my THIRD chi baby (once you get one, you can’t stop!). The response to my application was so impressively quick. I was contacted to start the process within a few days. It was over the holidays and the adoption coordinators are all volunteers with their own busy lives…but they are incredible people with very big hearts…and they really put a lot of time and effort into your application and sacrifice a lot of their time to do it. There’s heavy due diligence (which we should all appreciate to ensure the dog gets the best household for them possible). The coordinators are very experienced and have a real skill for matching. While I was waiting for my pup to arrive, there were unfortunate, unforeseen circumstances with my chosen pup (had to stay in Texas for health reasons). At last minute, I had the option of refund or to pick a new dog. But there was also a third option given to me….my absolute sweetheart of a counsellor (Diane) offered me a baby that SHE was receiving for her household…long story short…Diane matched me with “Angel”. She certainly feels that way…like an Angel sent just for us. Diane was an amazing lady and I will forever feel a bond with her for life. That’s another special thing about TCR…it’s a community, a tribe…a place of forever connection. All of us sharing our love of these babies and working together to make the world a better place. Thank you Diane (and the rest of the volunteers) for all the wonderful things you do! Definitely consider this rescue - you won’t be disappointed. You are so well prepared for your new pup. They come with sweaters…some blankets…harnesses…medical instructions…food clearly outlined. You have a solid idea of what they need from you. I just can’t express how well organized everything is….right down to every small detail. Super well functioning organization. A warm and wonderful experience.

What an amazing experience! I have now adopted 2 little cuties from the TXCR in under 1 year! The first time of course I was hesitant as I had never done anything like this before but as I began the adoption process and was directed to my coordinator Emma everything was just so smooth and extremely efficient! The volunteer's were absolutely wonderful and I could not have asked for a better experience! Ten months later we ended up with little Daisy and again the entire experience was absolutely fantastic!

I waited ten years for my family to be ready for another dog. I was looking for very specific traits in my future pup and had difficulty finding a dog that matched. I have extensive dog experience but also four children…rescues often shy away from those of us with younger kids. Enter TXCR, not only did they not shy away, they worked diligently to match my family to the right dog. After several applications, who we were not matched with, we finally found her..the perfect dog. Our wonderful little Chili has seamlessly blended into our family. TXCR was very professional, detailed and thorough. Thank you TXCR for making our family complete!

What a wonderful organization committed to saving the lives of these little darlings!

After being a dog mom to 3 rescued mini dachshunds over the past 18 years, I found myself without a pet in the summer of 2022. I wanted to find a rescue that could help me locate a new family member, and I stumbled across Texas Chihuahua Rescue on Facebook. After looking into their history, watching their monthly transports to Ontario and hearing all of the positive feedback, I was convinced they were just the ticket.

The screen process for potential adopters is thorough and professional, the volunteers are incredibly empathetic and kind, and the communication at all stages was top notch.

I selected Elise (now Sweet Pea) because she was a quiet senior who had lost her home when her human mom passed away. Given her demeanor, they were seeking a quiet, calm environment where she could be an only dog showered with affection for the rest of her golden years. That was me! I work from home and was craving some company during the day. On November 8, 2022, I picked up Sweet Pea from her foster mom and brought her home. And I'm so lucky to call her my furbaby now. She's exactly what I needed in my life.

So far, Sweet Pea has charmed all of the other residents of my condo building, made friends with neighbour doggos in the lobby, and has shown me her sweet, sassy self in all the best ways.

Thank you, Texas Chihuahua Rescue, for providing such an amazing service for both pups and adopters. You are truly angels on earth for doing what you do.

The Texas Chihuahua Rescue was amazing to deal with. I didn’t know anyone associated with them and I simply reached out to them to be a possible adopter. The screening process was very thorough, as it should be. Everyone I communicated with by email and by video chat was extremely professional. Once I was on the potential adopter list their communication was very transparent and clear to understand. It took us a while to find our pup, but once we did we couldn’t be happier. Our little Delilah has fit right in and the rescue was great about helping us schedule a pickup that worked for us. They gave us all her paperwork and even registered her microchip. I would highly recommend this rescue organization. They know what they are doing and they are very easy to deal with. Thank you to the volunteers!

On August 6, 2022, we adopted our second senior chihuahua "MISSY" from TXCR. We were so happy with the process and all the help/advice we received from our coordinator Diane Stanley again. Diane was a great help in finding the perfect match for our little Mickey (first senior chi from TXCR). We love the pre-approved process that TXCR uses. It made the process less stressful for us.

TXCR really do care/love all their rescue dogs and only want to find the very best fur-ever homes for all of them. They also want to ensure that the adopters find their best match fur baby. We are and always will be big supporters of TXCR.

A special thank you to TXCR, all the fosters, transport staff, volunteers in Texas and Canada. Without all of you, this would not be possible for so many rescue dogs and adopters.

We are sure that we will adopt many more senior chihuahuas from TXCR in the future. Keep doing what you are doing for all these little doggies.

Thanks you all so very much.

We started with Texas Chihuahua rescue many months ago with the adoption process. The process it self was making sure as a home and family we were going to be able to provide one of the rescues with the best home. That first step was the beginning of us seeing how dedicated this group was. We kept our eyes open to find what we thought was the best fit for our home and currant pet. Fast forward many months we saw three possible angels we’d love to make a part of our home. We were lucky that we were able to hold one of them. I still had mixed feelings if we were doing the right thing for our four year old chihuahua cross because he is a little touchy with the amount of love he receives. But this past Saturday July 9 was the day we picked up our little girl in Ancaster, Ont. The process of the pickup was so organized and thought out. The group of volunteers have so much love for these fur babies. We were handed a bundle of fur and off we went. Shine now known as Tiah fit in instantly like she was meant to be. Tucker our four year old is still on the fence why his parents brought another fur ball into the home but I’m sure within a very short time he will except her and love her as much as we do. She is adjusting better then we could imagine and we look so forward to many years of laughter and love with her. If there were more then 5 stars to rate this group I would 10x over give them all the stars.

Since it was in the middle of COVID things were done a little differently and we started the process to fine the perfect fit for our family. It took us some time as we had a new addition to the family (a beautiful grand baby) and needed to make sure that the pup we brought knot the family was good with children etc. In February of this year we found the perfect fit. Her name is Nova and she is a wonderful girl. Good with baby’s and all people as well as other dogs. The process was so easy and everyone we dealt with were just fantastic people.

I was in a bit a of a tricky spot because I was a first time dog owner, with a cat and young children and I was only interested in a rescuing a dog. This presented obvious challenges with rescues. I felt that Texas Chihuahua Rescue was the only rescue that give me hope to find our new family friend. They provided help in making sure that we selected the right pup. We got our pup in Feb, 2022 and I can say that the processes was easy, and organized with full transparency and any information available. The operator were always accessible for any questions you might have. Our new family member is just perfect. He has the perfect temperament for our cat and kids and is just a snuggle bug. I am not sure that people know how sweet these rescues can be. This was a great experience and I would recommend fully.

Our family has been following the incredible work that this rescue does for many years. We have always been impressed with their level of vetting new adoptive families. They are thorough and professional and take matching adoptive dogs and new families with love and responsibility. We are completely in love with our new Finn. We adore him and he has completed our family as if we had been simply waiting for him. . So many thanks from our family to the MANY hard working volunteers at Texas Chihuahua Rescue and all that they do to save lives. ❤️

I couldn’t have found TXCR at a better time. Covid hit and I lost my Shihtzu of 14 years. I was heartbroken. I knew I needed to save a puppy. Little did I know she saved me. TXCR was so thorough and professional when it came to our interview. I lost out on many fur babies but that was to be because I found the one for me. I don’t know what I’d do without my little Rosie. I would recommend 100% TXCR.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about TXCR!! What a fabulous organization. The whole process was done so quickly but thoroughly. My coordinator Janet was so nice and helpful and encouraging. When I looked at the dogs available for adoption I came across Mick and I knew at once that he was for me!! His foster Mom, Vicky, was very nice and had me well prepared to meet Mick. He filled a big hole in my heart as my 15 yr old dog passed just weeks before I got him. Mick lost his human Mom in September and I knew that we were meant for each other ❤ he brings me so much joy and happiness and is the sweetest little dog that I've ever met!! He is quiet and calm, but also silly and lively! Thank you SO much TXCR for allowing me to give Mick a new home where he is loved unconditionally. You are doing such fabulous work.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO ADOPT A DOG, THIS ORGANIZATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
My hubby and I heard of this organization from a friend are we’re ever so blessed to have been able to move forward and adopt our precious little bundle of joy, Amber.
We’re actually celebrating her one year anniversary, her 1st Gotcha Day today.
Without her and all of her love she brings to us, we would be lost.
From the minute we started moving forward with the process of adopting we were amazed how all of these organizations work so well together to get these dogs on their way to being healthy and happy.
I want to give a big shout out to Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Canada, Inc., Texas Chihuahua Rescue Inc., TXCR Transport.
What an amazing group of volunteers, once these dogs are taken in and taken to the ranch. Everything good starts for these precious, loveable little souls.
This is a non profit organization so please remember how much time and effort every volunteer puts into doting on these poor rescue pups to give them shelter and love for a better life.
They are seen by a vet at the ranch. They are excellent at looking over our future family members. They are also neutered or spayed, along with many expensive treatments that have to be taken on if so required by animals in need.
*Again remembering this is a NON-PROFIT RUN, CHARITY ORGANIZATION!!
The bio’s that they put out on these dogs is absolutely amazing. Please read the bio’s of any dogs you are thinking of rescuing. It is so pertinent to know as much as you can about your new companion. I don’t know how they do it, but their bio’s are so bang on.
I also want to give a big shout out to Christine Beaton of Canada this is the amazing woman, (I don’t know where she finds all the time, but she does) who vetted us, helped me through the crying times of waiting and getting our baby girl Amber. Her support was so amazing. It is so nice that we have remained friends. She’s always there for us with our questions.
Also I want to give her a big huge shout out and recognition for her starting up Texas Chihuahua Rescue Canada Alumni!
This is such a great place for all of our fellow Canadian’s to come and seek help from others by asking questions, seeking advice, posting pix of our beloved adopted fur babies. Sharing a laugh and yes, sometimes a cry of empathy for someone whom has lost their beloved fur baby!
What an excellent forum Christine. I love it and appreciate you and all you do for this fantastic organization! ❤️

Texas Chihuahua Rescue was nothing short of fantastic. They have their transports and adoption process down to a science. Each and every person I interacted with was kind, compassionate and really care about all of the animals. Goober (who was later identified as a Golden Retriever, Labrador, Chow Chow mix) was adopted through this rescue and he was brought up to me in Canada from Texas. Goober is now just over a year old and is 55lbs. He is in his forever home now thanks to the rescue. Very affordable prices and you get all the necessary shots, spay/neutering, etc. If I could give more than 5 starts I would. Thank you for everything that you do!

I waited for my pup for what felt like ages (1.5yrs at least), and felt discouraged often, BUT I’m so happy it went the way it did, because we fell in love with Smoke immediately, definitely worth the wait!

I appreciate the process in which TXCR operates. I like that once you are a pre-approved adopter, the “hold” process is very simple and efficient.

During the week leading up to our munchkin joining our family, our coordinator was very communicative about what we could expect, our responsibilities, etc & super responsive each time I requested additional information / clarity.

We LOVED how organized the pick up day was. Information was provided on what to expect, where to park, the flow of traffic, etc., with diagrams provided. We loved that the van was on time, and how informative / helpful the volunteers were the day of. It went so smoothly, and was stress free!

I’ve adopted two dogs from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. One was a puppy when I got him (4 months) and the newest member was a two year old ex- street dog. The entire experience was amazing and my vet commented both times when checking the dogs and going through their records at how thorough TXCR was and how they didn’t cut corners like the vet had seen from numerous other rescues. She said all vaccines and procedures done through TXCR were top quality. Dealing with the coordinators for TXCR was amazing and easy and you can tell that they really care about what they do and finding the right home for their rescues.

I wasn't sure when the right time would be for me to have a dog. I've grown up with dogs my whole life and was missing having one the past few years. There were always reasons not to, but this year it seemed like there were fewer reasons and just so many benefits. I applied to be pre approved because I liked the system that the Texas Rescue had, you'd get pre approved so when the right dog for you showed up, you'd match, and it would happen. Nothing forced. Ozzy (formerly known as Lugh), is the perfect dog for me. We have similar temperaments (who knew I was so similar to a Blue Heeler?) So we get the cuddle and then the need for own space. He is independent and very clever. He is learning so fast and seems to feel right at all. He is impossible not to love. I am very grateful. The entire process was great and I felt secure and supported through the whole thing. I was a bit nervous with everything being online, but was put to ease with the professionalism and constant support from my coordinator.

We just picked up our wee chi this week and we are over the moon in love with her. Texas Chihuahua Rescue takes the time to preapprove their adopters so they can help match you with the right dog. We were preapproved and began our search —pouring over the Facebook pages watching for the perfect match..and we found her! Cherry, now Posie, is a little doll! She loves everyone in the house and has fit in so well with her fur-siblings. We can’t believe how easy this transition has been for us and her. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers in Texas and Canada for bringing these wee pups to loving homes. Posie is living her best life now!

I just adopted a lovely puppy from Texas Chihuahua (Canada chapter). The entire experience was excellent. I went through the pre-adoption process (providing a personal reference and my vet's info). This was followed up by a personal chat and virtual visit. It all went well. Then I watched the facebook page for dogs that I was interested in and I found one!

I applied for a hold on the dog. And I got her!!! Things happened fast after that - she was on the transport and brought to Canada. I had an issue with pickup time but the coordinator Kim helped me out - no problem! I now have an absolutey adorable little chiweenie (now named Birdie) and couldn't be happier. I got all the paperwork - everything was super well-organized.

An excellent experience ! I'm very happy. Birdie is now happily running up and down my hallway with her squeaky>

I was impressed with the process the Texas Chihuahua Rescue puts you through and the effort they go to to make sure you and your rescue are compatible. The forms, the interviews, etc. It took about 3 days before I saw a tail wag but it was like I was a little kid at Christmas I was so excited. Elora and I are inseparable now.

The time from submitting our application to picking up our new dog was just over two months. We were fortunate to be matched fairly quickly and were prepared to have a much longer wait based on the what we wanted and the type of home environment we could provide. During that time, our assigned coordinator exchanged several emails with us, along with a virtual home visit, to be approved in general and then to be specifically matched with a particular dog. Our coordinator was professional and provided information through the entire process including updating us on new medical information (giving us the option to decline our match based on this). We have had Loki home for just over a week and are very happy with him and the entire process.

Hello everyone I came to this Rescue 2.5 years ago, I had just lost my to senior Chi's to old age. Never wanted any more dogs, it hurt to much, but I became depressed and lonely without my babies of 17 years. Three months later my friend who works with Texas Recue said put in an application to adopt they check you out then they help you find the perfect match for you. The puppies are Rescues and are Vet checked, micro chipped, spayed or neutered, they are rescued from shelters, hoarding situations, off the streets, you would be saving these poor babies life and giving them a new lease on life and love. Like every month there was a transport coming up September 2019 she said come and see what is all about so I did , it was a fabulous set up very professional , after being approved I was able to look at the puppies who were left available because some were already adopted before they came , now it is all done online due to the covid. Well I picked this cute lil black and brown with floppy ears lol, but they said that is awesome but she is bonded with a sister and we can't separate them, my heart sunk, then my husband out of the blue said we will take both we have always had two so we will take the both of them I was estatic my broken heart they had restored. They check on you to see how everything is going with you and the puppies or if I needed to ask them anything they were there for us. After a short time I wanted to do more so we decided to fill out an application to foster and have been taking in and sending puppies to there new fulfilled homes and a better life. Oh ! by the way we just adopted our second set of bonded sisters which we didn't think that would ever happen but was love at first sight and that was it lol. Texas Chihuahua Rescue is a fantastic ,trusting ,loyal, and very caring rescue and I thank them for everything they do for everyone and me but most of all first for those puppies. Thank you for everything !

Everything you could hope for in a rescue organization. Caring, loving, professional, proving excellent medical care and forever homes for the most euthanized breed of dog, and staffed entirely by volunteers. I don't remember how I found out about TXCR, but have followed them on Facebook for some time. When 2 little Chiweenies were posted, both with birth defects to their front legs, I commented "I would love to take them but I live in Kentucky". "We transport" said the Director. I am now the exhausted owner of 2- 5 month old Chiweenies who have taken over my house, my heart, and my pack. I will highly recommend you consider adopting one of the sweet Cheeps that have been rescued and cared for by this wonderful organization. And remember, you can't have just one Chihuahua. They're small, so you need 2 or 3 of them~ Terry Baker

Personally, this organization is way too picky on their requirements for adopting a dog. After weeks of conversing back-and-forth, We were denied the opportunity to adopt, solely based on the fact that my cats were not up to date on their most recent rabies shot. Even though they were scheduled to get the shot in the next few days (to which we proved the apts.) We had 2 references, in which both gave us great reviews.
In my opinion.. find another organization to adopt your new family member from.

I have no experience with small dogs. My last 2 were rottweilers, finding myself dogless for first time in 20 years, We decided to go much smaller. I had no idea on breed but I knew I prefer a clean face. Chihuahuas were smaller than planned so I set out to find a larger one. Found this site online and I could not stop looking. My husband agreed to whatever would stop my heartbreak of losing last pet. Everyday I looked at available dogs and showed my husband. I loved Victoria on sight but wanted an adult. My short list was cut in half because of pending adoptions. Victoria was still available. I admit I cried. From the vet checks to home check video I was blown away at the thoroughness and the care that goes into these babies. I had a 4 hour drive after a sleepless night and waited an extra hour due to traffic. The moment I saw Victoria I started crying. She was everything I never knew I needed. She is nothing like I thought a small dog would be. She is a bigger girl and perfect for my active life. My vet got hugs and kisses, after her check up. And I have taken her for walks and laughed as she splashed in the ditch. I have had her less than a week and she has my heart and eyes that look into my soul. I tell everyone about texaschihuahuarescue.org and am waiting till my husband agree on another Angel

Being new to rescuing, we were amazed that we could apply and once pre-approved that our application could stay on file - only having to submit a ‘hold’ request once we saw a dog we felt would be a good fit for us. Teri was really helpful and patient during our interview and answered all of our questions. Once pre-approved, she would also send along bios of available dogs in addition to the ones we saw on Facebook. We were discouraged after a few months having made numerous applications but not getting selected but she encouraged us to be patient as the number of potential adopters was very great. It was simply a matter of the right dog coming available at the right time and surely enough, we applied for and were told we were number one on the list if we wanted Pedro. His description turned out to be exactly what we had hoped for: he is smart, house-trained, loving, gentle, loves people and just a perfect little gentleman. We took him to our vet this morning (picked him up on Saturday) and she said we’re very lucky as he is a wonderful little guy. I should point out also that she was really impressed with the vet assessment and treatment in Texas - she said they did a fabulous job so kudos to the organization for the standards of care they provide. Apparently not all rescue dogs come with the same level of veterinary preparation.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Texas Chihuahua Rescue Inc. and the Canadian arm to anyone looking to provide a loving home to a dog and are thankful for the volunteers for their caring and efforts! It’s a big win for all of us!

We just adopted our sweet little pup, Rue (formally Kennedy) and are absolutely in love! We have been so impressed with TXCR. From the initial adoption request to picking our girl up, all the staff we have spoke to have been so kind and helpful. Kim, our coordinator, has been fantastic and so quick to respond to our questions. It’s clear how loved all these rescue pups are and how well treated they are from the moment the rescue takes them in. We will absolutely recommend TXCR to anyone we know searching for a rescue pup!

I found TXCR by Googling bc there didn’t seem to be many chihuahuas up for adoption in NY. I cannot say enough about this organization. They do their due diligence in approving you as an adopter and given that information, picked a dog who they thought would be a good fit. They asked if I was interested and I knew immediately that this was my little one. She could not be sweeter. From my coordinator, Tracey Core, and the transport team, (I worked mostly with the fabulous Kelly), this organization is top notch. I never had to wait long for a question to be answered or for my new puppy mom worries to be settled. Do it!

Our coordinator Kim is incredibly responsive and helpful, and even set up some video chats for me with Echo's fosters so that I could ask some specific questions and really get a feel for him. The care package they sent with him when I picked him up was more than I had expected as well. Everyone involved with this rescue genuinely cares about these dogs and wants them to have the best life possible. We had an amazing experience during the adoption process and are still in contact with our coordinator, which is fantastic.

We had an amazing experience working with the Texas Chihuahua Rescue organization. Their team was very helpful and professional right from the start and continues to be a great resource for us now that our pups have joined the family. My husband and I adopted a bonded pair and we are completely in love with them! It took a while to find the right match due to the large number of people looking to adopt right now, but our coordinator, Tracey, was very supportive and reassuring that it was worth the wait to find the right fit. She was right and we couldn't be happier! It's great that TXCR really takes the time to review applications and ensure that their dogs find the best home where they will be happiest. Some organizations just go by who's next on the wait list, but the care and thought that the TXCR team puts into each and every adoption is the reason we chose to work with them. An outstanding group of people who we are forever grateful to for bringing our sweet girls into our lives.

After losing both our senior chihuahuas (ages 13 & 16) so close together, and when we were ready we wanted to give a senior chihuahua a fur-ever home. We decided to go with the TXCR and completed an application for a senior chihuahua online, and everything else just fell into place. We were then contacted by Diane Stanley, our coordinator. She went through the whole process with us and answered any questions or concerns we had. Diane helped us find our perfect sweetest senior boy Mickey (formerly Marc). He arrived to us safe and sound on November 14, 2020.

We would like to thank all the volunteers and fosters in Texas and Canada, the coordinators and the volunteers who make the long drive from Texas to Canada with our precious fur babies.

A very special thank you to Diane our coordinator for all you do for these little helpless fur babies. Without you, we would not have our sweet little Mickey (formerly Marc).

I started the adoption process a couple of weeks ago and I was pre-approved quickly and then I was able to adopt Tyson, who arrives June 5.
The whole process was very professional, and my coordinator, Kim, was very friendly, and professional.
The list of questions that I was sent to respond to, seemed like a lot at first, but they were very thought provoking and really made me think if I really wanted another dog and all that goes along with it, or if I just liked the idea of a cute little dog. Turns out, I wanted another dog. So glad the adoption process is so in-depth.
EDIT: Picked up Tyson on June 5 and he has been a sweet little boy, very calm and loves to snuggle. A perfect dog.

Thank you to TXCR, the staff and volunteers for all that they do. The adoption process was straight forward and staff were great. In Nov. 2019 Findlay (formerly Carmine) became a Canadian and he hasn't looked back. Staff were bang on in their description of him (loves everything, animals, people, rocks, flowers..) and he adores his two older JRT brothers. Finn is a large part of their pack and has grown more confident in himself, although he now believes he is a JRT (ha ha), he is a loving, sweet happy boy. When looking to adopt I found a few rescues refused to allow a male dog to be adopted into a family where there was already a male dog saying they won't get along. Thank you to TXCR for believing in their adoption process and my dogs. I have recommended the rescue to several friends looking for that missing part of their family. I would definitely adopt from TXCR again.

She answered any questions we had and picking Beans up was smooth, organized and socially distanced.  We quickly found out that Beans lives up to her name because she's full of them, but no surprises in her temperament.

A very thorough adoption application process, and a very accurate description of my four-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix, Gibson (formerly Nixon). I've had him less than a month, but he is now walking a straight line next to me on-leash, rather than cutting in front of me and being a tripping hazard. He's also making progress with not pulling when on-leash. He's still barking madly at other dogs, but I have discovered that it's because he wants to meet them; so we continue to work on his socialization and barking, with the help of some patient neighbour dogs and their hoomans.

Gibson is also very loving and playful, and wonderful in meeting new people - including children. He's obedient in coming when called, and is learning to sit fully rather than just curtsy. He's a delightful little fellow, and I'm enjoying his company immensely. Many thanks to the TXCR for bringing him into my life.

I completely understand Alfalfa's medical issues when I adopted him and accept him as he is. Alfalfa is a very happy boy who loves to dance and make me laugh.

My husband and I applied to adopt a chihuahua last summer, and covid was slowing things. Sadly he passed away in September but I decided to continue with the adoption. The coordinator helped , and we had already had our home inspection and interview. Shortly after John died, I saw a little six year old girl named Lily, and put a hold on her on the Sunday. I didn't dream I would get her, but I had a message on the Tuesday, asking if I were still interested, and I was for sure! She was being fostered near me, so Wednesday Lily became Emiline, and we haven't looked back. Such a wonderful organization, matching these little dogs to the right people. Everyone just wants the best for them. By the time you put a hold on a dog, a lot is known about that little pup, and that is so helpful for the new family and the for the dog's placement to be appropriate.

When my dog Parker was nearing the end of her life I wanted to adopt another senior dog for my other dog, Guinness. I didn't want him to be alone and I knew that once Parker passed both he and I would need time before we could bring someone new home.

I contacted TXCR and let them know about my household and why I wanted another dog. They were so helpful!! The first few seniors I asked about turned out to be poor matches, or already spoken for. It took time, but they found Max for us (TXCR Buster). He has been the perfect match!! I really appreciate how much work they put in to making sure the right dog went to the right home.

Unfortunately, Parker passed much sooner than expected. I thought she had several months, maybe a year. As it turned out her time came almost at the exact same time I was matched up with Max. Everyone I worked with at TXCR was so understanding of this sudden change at my end. I debated putting the adoption on hold, but something told me not to. Four days after Parker's passing, Guinness and I drove up to meet little Max, our hearts broken. I wasn't sure either of us were ready. But little Max made himself right at home and helped heal our hearts. I think we may have needed him more than he needed us.

Max has been part of our family for a little over a year and a half now and we couldn't imagine our lives without him. He is perfect!

When the time comes for another dog (hopefully far far in the future), I will definitely turn to TXCR.

This organization refused to take my dog because of her age. The staff was rude over emails and contrary to their website claiming they take 100s of dogs of all varieties they said they do not have room to take any dogs. I find this hard to believe because last time I checked fostering doesn’t require a dog to stay at the facility.
If you are looking to put your pet into foster care or go elsewhere. Dallas pets alive is a great choice instead.

What a great journey with an amazing outcome has been this adopting experience with Texas Chihuahua Rescue, just this March 2021, Milo (TXCR Bryant) chosen us to became part of this family and we could not be happier. He is an amazing puppy with a great personality, and you just can not avoid fall in love with this one.

We started late 2020 looking into the dog adoption world which we found over complicated and stressful, and one day I was lucky finding TXCR page and the rest is history…. I want to thank and recognize TXCR Texas and Canada´s teams specially to my adoption coordinator Diane Stanley for the professionalism, dedication, warmth and love to this admirable and selfless activity.

Bravo TXCR !!!!!

TXCR is an awesome rescue! We are very fortunate to have found them. CJ (aka Kyle) has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is so well-behaved, friendly, and an overall lover. He came to us pretty much potty trained and listens so well. This speaks volumes of the volunteers and the care they give these pups! The adoption process was excellent. Communication was ongoing and all of my questions were answered immediately. The pick-up process was very exciting and I'd like to share accolades with the volunteers who drove him all the way to NY for us. We are overjoyed to have CJ in our lives and I would highly recommend TXCR to anyone looking to adopt a new furry friend. Thank you!!

TXCR is an incredible rescue! I've worked with a number of rescues over the years, and I have NEVER met such quality people who work so well together. TXCR loves their dogs and works SO HARD to make sure that every dog is living their best life from the moment they come in contact with the rescue. Every volunteer along the way is knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone works together -- and with this huge operation team work is important!
They helped me find the absolutely perfect pup, and he has adjusted so well to his new home thanks to all the care they took with him :)

We were thrilled to be chosen to adopt a puppy from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. We felt comfortable thru the entire process and our coordinator Tracey did a great job of answering all our questions, providing photos and lots of helpful information. The TXCR transport team posted photos of their journey to keep all the adopters updated. We are so very happy with our little Beasley Weasley. He is spunky, smart and so adorable. Thank you to all the volunteers, coordinators and drivers

Amazing experience with Texas Chihuahua Rescue! The adoption process moved fairly quickly and the instructions to pick up your dog was very straight forward/easy to follow. The volunteers were so kind and patient with my dog. She is a Germans Shepherd/husky mix that needed to be carried to my car (due to COVID we had to stay in the vehicle) because of how anxious she was. Their description of her was very honest and true to their word. She was up to date on all her shots and potty trained as well! I love my dog from TXCR and the process was very positive with great memories made !!!

I adopted Oden and as everyone else has said... it has been nothing but an amazing experience, from the moment my adoption application was approved, to the moment I found out Oden was coming home to me.
Roberta my adoption coordinator is amazing. She was constantly in contact with me throughout the process, and still now after Odens settling in.
I was amazed at the time they took to send me loads of info on what to expect with my new fur baby, even a play by play description of the journey he took coming from Texas to Canada.
And all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing this amazing puppy with incredibly sharp shark teeth to me.

I adopted my cute little Juan (renamed Joey) from Texas Chihuahua Rescue back in 2019 and it was just an amazing experience. I've always wanted a dog and I knew that I would rather rescue than buy from a breeder. I came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue and applied to adopt, and I was so surprised when they already got back to me the next day. I remember discussing with the TCR coordinator about a few dogs that I was interested in, but then she mentioned that there was a dog available who was not on the website because he had already been adopted but was returned by the family. He was described as a "perfect gentleman" and very quiet and cuddly. I just knew that was the dog for me, so we finalized the adoption and I was able to pick him up that same week! I am so happy with how quick and seamless the process was. Joey is such a ray of sunshine in my life and I cannot imagine being without him now. Thank you TCR for saving him and bringing him into my life. I am so glad that he does not have to live on the streets anymore and that he is in a safe and loving home. Joey and I really appreciate all that you do!

We recently adopted our terrier mix dog from TXCR. We were extremely impressed with the level of responsiveness and professionalism. Our coordinator was prompt with her follow up to interview us and check our references. Like others, we had also attempted to adopt through other rescues and didn't receive follow up. The coordinator assessed our ability to care for a rescue dog and explained in great detail the process. She was always quick to reply to our queries.
We were excited as the arrival date approached and TXCR once again ensured we were kept apprised of developments. We loved being able to track our dogs journey to Ontario via facebook. Our coordinator even send us an email with pics!
I have been raving about the organization to friends and family. Keep up the great work!

When our old dog passed away in September, we wanted to find a canine companion for our remaining dog, Teddy. We applied to numerous rescues, but only Texas Chihuahua Rescue responded. After a telephone interview with our lovely coordinator followed by a virtual home visit, we were approved!

Our kind and patient coordinator saw us through anxious weeks, and then months, of watching dogs get chosen for other loving homes, but not ours. Then came the thrilling phone call! We had a dog!

The pickup process was seamless, and our sweet, gentle wee Rusty has now been home with us for three days. Our older dog is still coming to terms with his new sibling, but we're sure they'll be best buds in no time.

I'm so impressed with the work being done by TXCR to save the lives of hundreds of lovely, deserving dogs every year. They are guardian angels and they are so organized!

I have recommended TXCR to many family and friends who may be looking for a dog, or who wish to support a charity that has devoted itself to the welfare of dogs in need.

Thank you TXCR for bringing a wee bundle of love into our home, and to our amazing coordinator, who continues to provide guidance and support as we work through the logistics of integrating our two precious pups. You have my undying respect and support going forward.

Today is actually 2 years to the day I adopted my little guy. I tried quite a few adoption organizations within Canada with no luck and hardly any responses even. I have to say Texas Chihuahua Rescue was amazing to deal with from start to finish. They help so many dogs find their forever homes. I always highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to adopt. They even do transport which is amazing.

We could not have been happier with our experience with Texas Chihuahua Rescue. After applying to a couple different rescues, we noticed right away that Texas was far more caring and thorough, both for the dogs and for the adopters alike. They really make sure that the dog is a right fit for your home and your lifestyle. The whole process was seamless and enjoyable, and we ended up with the perfect dog for us. We have met multiple people in our area who have rescued through Texas Chihuahua Rescue, and they all share the same sentiment. :)

I have followed this rescue for many years and watched the great work they do. Last year we decided we needed to add another furry member to our family and applied through their website. The process was easy and very quickly we were contacted by a team member. From start to finish every person at this rescue is amazing. They were all kind, patient and clearly so focused on providing better lives for the animals they rescue. They went out of their way to help us match with an amazing puppy who fit right into our home. Although she has been through a lot, they told us exactly what to expect and the transition has been fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this rescue. They are helpful, kind and really doing amazing work to save the lives of animals in kill shelters. From application to pick up, to check ins, I have really been blown away with their service. So much so that I am considering volunteering my time with them. Thanks to their entire team for their tireless work and commitment to bringing joy to the lives of their animals and the people who adopt them.

We lost our little chihuahua of 14 years, two years ago. We have been talking about getting another fur baby but didn’t know where to look. With covid there were so many people selling dogs at outrageous prices that we were thinking we would have to wait a few more years. My husband came across TXCR on Facebook. After following them for awhile he felt that they would be a good fit for our family. We filled out an application and talked to a coordinator about what we were looking for. We got an emailing saying they were looking for an adopter for a couple of pups. We asked to put a hold on one of the pups (Cookie). Within 24 hrs we heard that we got approved for Cookie. We were beyond excited to say the least. Two weeks later she started her journey to Canada. We picked her up on November 14, 2020. From the minute we got her we knew she was meant for us. Her name now is Pebbles. They told us she was full of energy and would be really busy. What they didn’t tell us is once she tells comfortable she will just want to cuddle and love on us all day. We are so thankful to TXCR for all that they did for us and our fur baby. We would 1000% recommend them to anyone looking to rescue a fur baby.

Back in October, we decided it was finally time to fill the gap in our lives after Max passed about ten years ago. We contacted several rescue organizations and put in applications for quite a few dogs, but with no luck. Someone told us about Texas Chihuahua Rescue, so we filled out an application with them. To our surprise, the coordinator got back to us right away to arrange a video interview. Once that was done, she told us we were approved and would start getting files to choose from. It didn't take very long before we were matched with our new puppy. We picked Pixie (formerly Eberly) up at the beginning of December and brought her home to Ottawa. We were very impressed with Texas Chihuahua Rescue's handling of the whole process; the interview, the follow up, the pick up organization and the amount of paperwork we received with the dog, verifying vaccinations and other details. Needless to say, we are very happy with our new addition to the family and looking forward to growing with her. Thanks to all the volunteers!

Our family had been searching for a small, low shedding, rescue dog since March. Then we get preapproved by TXCR. Our coordinator Sasha was great!! We patiently waited for the right dog for our family to be posted. That day finally came when there was a dog by the name of Twain posted. I messaged Sasha! Few minutes later there was another one, Twila posted. I messaged Sasha again! A few hours later I received an email stating I had the first hold on Twila and if we would like to go ahead with the adoption. Ofcourse we would like to go ahead with the adoption!!! I cried after I sent the reply to the email. I probably filled out a hundred applications for dogs and that moment had finally come. My 10yr old son was the only one home with me at the time. We decided we were going to tell my husband and daughter together. When we told her she dropped to the floor crying, she said "these are happy tears mommy". LuLu (Twila) has come a long way. We work with her everyday. First few days she was this scared, always shaking little dog and then day 3 came and wow what a transformation! We went from small walks in the backyard, to around the block to now to a big open field by a park where she loves to run with my kids and chase squirrels and bunnies and its only been 2 weeks. She sleeps through the night, has not had one accident in the house and we are yet to hear a bark. We heard a little something from her when a big dog walked by and barked at her we were starting to think she had no voice. We are still working on the chasing of the neighborhood squirrels and bunnies We couldn't have asked for a better matched dog. We love her so much and are looking forward to many happy years with her. Thank you TXCR! You guys are great for making so many families and dogs happy.

I adopted Red, now Rudy Redman. 6yrs old.
I also have a Chi/ Terrier mix , who is about 2 year and a half from another rescue.
So Rudy has a sister. The first few days he was so tired and scared, but sweet , they didn’t interact much except some sniffs and waggs.
Right after the lovely volunteer handed me Rudy, off we went to a safe patch of grass and he and Chica met. Then he peed for 2 minutes and pooped like he had not in days. Some dogs when scared and have been travelling and may have had surgery days prior, may not poop or pee due to feeling off and scared.
So anyway, off to Toronto, where he has settled in.
It has taken a week to get him kind of regular, He would poop and then none for a couple days, he had a couple accidents...which I said not a peep. Poor little guy, so confused., Also note I rolled up my carpets etc , puppy prepped ,after a week of regular meals .. I am ecstatic to report he peed and pooped outside this morning
He needs to gain about 5 pounds or more, going to cook him some yummy mince and sweet potato, egg white, finely chopped red lettuce or kale, maybe add some pasta one day, rice another or even oatmeal. Here they are. It is a wonderful experience they need to settle and feel secure and I wanted to share that in my story.. rescue is the best and this organization is amazing

I adopted my baby girl Bailey through TXCR-Canada. I had been delaing with various local rescues when I came across TXCR in a dog rescue site on Facebook. After reaching out about a specific dog, I was advised of their pre-approval process before being able to apply to adopt a dog/ puppy. The communication was very clear and a specific volunteer and coordinator was assigned to me. This level of organization and communication went above and beyond any other rescue I had dealt with (most with no reply or acknowledgement at all). While I understand that rescues are volunteer based and time is limited, the process TXCR has in place makes the whole experience clear and helps to manage expectations for people like me that are new to this. All of the people I dealt with from this organization were amazing, kind, helpful, and above all, communicative. Thank you for existing and doing all that you do for the dogs and their people!

We lost our beloved companion, Bear, 3 years ago. He was a rescue who endured a hard beginning. So once we were ready, we wanted to adopt- in his memory.
I had been researching every rescue that I could find, that’s when we found TXCR! And I’m oh so glad we did. Our whole experience was positive and supportive.
There were so many applicants flooding in, with every dog that was posted. Even though there were a few failed attempts at trying to get other dogs, our coordinator kept our spirits up and never missed a beat responding to my many questions over the months.
Then along came Gigi. She immediately had my heart when I read her story, reminded me of my boy Bear. And then I saw her picture, I somehow knew she would be mine. And I was right. She is my perfect match and I’m so committed to her and her well being.

What can we say! Izzy (Tilly) fit in from day one. She became immediate best friends with the household kitty Blanche. They chase each other then catch their breath together on the cool grass.

Our little poodle mix died suddenly and it wasn't long before we realized that we needed another small dog. My sister adopted a chihuahua from Texas Chihuahua rescue last year and told me to apply. We did and we adopted our chihuahua mix only 7 days ago. She is exactly as described and so much more! She smothers us with kisses and runs around the house like a crazy dog whenever we come home. Five minutes or 1 hour gets the same reaction. She is so affectionate and loving and she is possibly the best dog ever! Without Texas chihuahua rescue, our newly adopted dog might never have had a chance at a home. They are simply the BEST!!!!! I can't think of anything better than to help dogs find forever homes.

Our 14 year old Chihuahua passed away several months ago and once we had recovered somewhat, began looking to adopt another Chihuahua. I had donated his sweaters to Texas Chihuahua Rescue so they were on my radar already. We submitted an application and were approved shortly thereafter with a very nice note from Tamie telling us to check their Facebook page and advise when we saw a Chi we wanted to meet. A week or so later we saw Benson (formerly Denver) who had been through heartworm treatment and was now available for adoption. I wrote Tamie not really expecting that we would be selected, as he was utterly adorable and there was a big response to the FB post. She replied the next day that she was holding him for us and to let her know when we wanted to meet him. To make a long story short, we met him and immediately adopted him. The entire process was thorough and Tamie made it easy, informing us of everything we needed to know about him. He is a wonderful little dog and we can’t thank them enough for saving him and so many others. This is a first class organization that really cares about the dogs.

I have worked with a few rescues to procure dogs in my past and this one outshined all of the rest. The care that they give to their dogs is unmatched, and the preparation and follow up that they give to the adopters goes above and beyond. I now have a beautiful chihuahua mix from Texas, whom Texas Chihuahua Rescue held for me in their loving care in Texas for 2.5 months as the pandemic occurred right after adoption. I cannot recommend this agency enough.

TXCR is a wonderful group. I got my sweet Persia as soon as the boarders where open, they had some troubles but they scrambled to get volunteers to help with all the pups so we all could meet our new family members here in Canada. Thank you to everyone that helped last minute. She is well worth the wait.

We can't say enough about TXCR! They are a wonderful, caring, amazing group of volunteers that truly has a love for animals. We adopted our girl the middle of March and through the pandemic had to wait a few months to get her. She was in wonderful hands and very loved and well taken care of with her foster home. When we finally got the news she was coming home to us I was so happy to finally meet her. They updated the trip with photos and when we got to pick her up I was crying. I am so moved by people that care and love for animals to this degree. The care and cleanliness of the vehicle and the volunteers we met when we picked her up were just wonderful. Thank you so much for what you do and for our beautiful Poppy!

We already had a Springer Spaniel that had taken to my son, so my daughter wanted a little dog to call her own. I came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue after a friend had suggested that I look into adoption rather than buying a puppy. I kept my eye on the available adoptees until I found Bill - he seemed like a perfect fit for our family.
We applied and our Adoption Coordinator moved things along quite quickly. I was surprised how fast we went from applicants to chihuahua owners. The people at TXCR work hard to make sure these little guys end up in great homes!
It took a little while for Bill to adjust, but the support from TXCR has been fantastic. They are there to help you every step of the way.
After some time in his new home, Bill has adapted quite nicely. He and his new sister share toys, beds, and even the food dish. And we couldn't have asked for a more snuggly, loving little dog. He's no longer just my daughter's dog - he's captured the hearts of each one of us. Thanks so much TXCR!

Even after picking up my pet, I did not feel abandon. Today is the 5th day and I can say I feel the Prof. has settle fully and is happy.

We adopted Paisley Mae (formerly Blythe) almost two weeks ago and our family is so happy with this little girl ! TXCR was wonderful throughout the adoption process, and the foster parents who were taking care of her after her arrival in Canada on February 1st were just so helpful and lovely. Our brave little Paisley Mae is adapting well to the Canadian winter, snuggled in the adorable sweater she arrived with. Thank you to TXCR for taking in this little angel and helping us find her - she has settled in as if she's always been with us and I think that has a lot to do with the care you gave her back in Texas and the love she received in her foster home here in Canada.

This organization is very conscientious and thorough in its follow up on veterinary disclosure and references when one applies for a foster and adoption pet. The people I had contact with were professional, friendly and helpful. As well, they are social and kind to the dogs they are the guardians of. A dog off the street anywhere is a positive thing I was told and I agree. This is also a much needed organization in Toronto (Ontario) where the local (large) Humane Society only very rarely has smaller dogs. For me there is a social justice as well as animal justice in how Texas Chihuahua operates in Canada. Dogs are within range for most responsible caring folk. I'm grateful to them.

I can't say enough about this group. I filled out an application for adoption and after my reference and vet check were done, was quickly approved for adoption and within a little over a week I was able to pick up my sweet puppy. All the volunteers who work with this group are wonderful to work with, they want to find loving, furever homes for all these dogs. The transport team, as well, did a wonderful job bringing these babies from San Antonio to Buffalo, safe and well cared for! Such a great experience!

Thanks to Texas Chihuahua Rescue I have found the perfect addition to my family. The whole team that is apart of this organization is amazing. They are all so happy, passionate, and informative. You can tell they all care about what they do!

Because of Texas Chihuahua Rescue, I was able to find Nico (aka Rusty). He was brought right to my home city, and came vaccinated, neutered, and even microchipped! I was also provided with his health and vet records.

When transport day came, they had posted every stop, and updated every day on their journey. It was very comforting seeing my little man, and I’m sure lots of other fur mama’s and papa’s felt the same!

Throughout the whole process I was updated with so much information. Information that included, where to pick him up, what I should bring with me, what I should have for him at home. They also gave me some tips on keeping him healthy! I already had another dog at home who is 7 years old, and had learnt so much more about taking care of our beloved fur babies!

Thank you so much Texas Chihuahua Rescue! I will definitely be passing along the amazing experience I had with you!

A huge shout out to Roberta. She is such an amazing woman! Gave me such an amazing experience and provided me with so much information!

Dealing with the Texas Chihuahua Rescue was amazing right from the start! We recently lost a fur baby and our other one was diagnosed with renal failure... so our lives have been a bit heartbreaking when it comes to pets. I found a dog we were interested in and started the adoption process, but couldn’t bring myself to go through with the original adoption. Sara recommend I finish the application anyway just in case, but was extremely understanding about how we were feeling about bringing home another dog. We just didn’t feel ready yet. We competed the application with Diane over FaceTime, and dealing with her and Sara was incredible. You can tell they really love animals, especially the dogs they are trying to find homes for! They make absolute sure that they are going somewhere safe and where they will be loved. As we were approved by Dianne she said we should go to the adoption event that Saturday and see if any pup would be a good fit for us, she even went over some of the ones she knew that would enjoy a home with kids and other pets. We went on the Facebook page and fell in love with all of them- I’m pretty certain we would have brought them all home if we could! Watching the dogs travel up North was so cute, but from the photos and videos posted a special pup stood out to me-Peggy (now known as Gabi). When she walked into the room on Saturday morning I teared
up because I knew she was meant to be with our family. They pulled our number second and when we met Gabi it was love at first scratch She came home with us that day, and while it’s only been a few days since then, it feels like she has been with us forever. Her foster parents took great care of her and helped her become an amazing little girl. We feel so lucky and honored that we could join the Texas Chihuahua Rescue Adoption family... and will definitely be back to find another fur baby to help!

After having a previous coworker adopt two dogs from TXCR, I had been following the group on Facebook for quite a while. I went ahead and applied for an adoption. The application was very simple. I quickly received a response letting me know my application was received and one of the volunteers would be in contact. Later that evening, I had received another email informing me to let my vet know that the group could have access to my vet info once they were able to call. Within 24 hours of my application, I had passed half of it and was asked to complete a quick home tour over a video call. It was scheduled and very quick. Diane is amazing at organizing and getting everyone in touch and coordinated. After choosing the doggo I thought was my best fit, payment and holds were done, I was put in touch with the foster mom here in Canada and pickup was arranged.
The whole process took less than a week for me.
Foster mom Brenda was so sweet on pickup and very informative of my new pup and her personality.
It’s been 3 days in her new home.
I couldn’t have asked for a better fitting dog. She’s so relaxed and content. Happy to be around her people.
I know I made the right choice and I look forward to hopefully adopting another doggo from TXCR in the future!

We were first introduced to the Texas Chihuahua Rescue through a cousin who adopted a sweet little fur baby. I immediately followed them on Facebook and requested emails be sent to me of their available dogs. We initially fell in love with Mimi but unfortunately she was not ready for her forever home as she was fear aggressive. The volunteers were so amazing they called me and explained everything and suggested another pup that would be a perfect fit for our family and boy oh boy were they right!!!
We were so excited for adoption day to arrive! We counted the days till we could hold the new addition to our family. Watching the doggy bus pull into the parking lot when that day arrived was just amazing! We couldn’t hold back our excitement!! When we first met our sweet baby girl we instantly fell in love with her! She was so tiny and so sweet!! We decided to change her name from Magnolia to Teeka and she picked up on It within the first day. She immediately bonded with everyone in our family including our bichon Buddy and she is the love of our lives now! She gets spoiled rotten with hugs and kisses and of course lots of toys! It’s such a great feeling knowing that we saved this little one and changed her life forever!! I hate to even think what her life was like living on the streets, constantly searching for her next meal and always looking over her shoulder. Thank God for the Texas Chihuahua Rescue for saving her and caring for her before we adopted her. Now she can relax wrapped up in big fuzzy blankets and enjoy being spoiled and pampered like the princess she is!! Thank you so much to all the volunteers at the Texas Chihuahua Rescue both here in Canada as well as the United States. The border sure doesn’t stop the love for these animals!

I adopted Raven (now Pepper) from Texas Chihuahua Rescue on June 8th, 2019. It was such a seamless adoption process. Pepper's bio fit her to a T. That is what I am most impressed and thankful for; TXCR takes the time to describe their available adoptees perfectly. Whether it's telling you the pooch is housetrained (or not), loud/barky, good with kids/cats etc. Pepper was described as an old, quiet soul who is housetrained, and that is exactly what I got. Of course she has her moments but overall Pepper is exactly what I thought I was getting. She comes to work with me everyday and lays quietly in her bed or once in a while curls up on my lap at my computer. She is good with visitors coming in and out and is purely just a joy. I would not hesitate to adopt from TXCR again! Thank you for everything that you do!

We adopted Maisie, previously known as Juliet. She is a terrier/chihuahua mix and under 8 months so we had to pick her up in Buffalo. Travelling to get her was well worth it and it really wasn't that far for us from Mississauga. She is the most beautiful, fun, sweet and adorable puppy. Her adoption was easy, convenient and I will continue to get my dogs/puppies from Texas Chihuahua Rescue in the future. I highly recommend this rescue to everyone. This rescue has the best people who are caring and friendly. Thank you to everyone at Texas Chihuahua rescue.

I've been blessed with 2 great dogs from Texas Chihuahua rescue. The first Hope (was Crash) a mini American Eskimo was adopted September 8 2018. We had recently lost a dog and she came to us at just the right time. A beautiful senior who is blind and deaf, but so full of love.

The second Zoey a tiny Yorkie on May 18, 2019. Her bio broke my heart. We just had to have her in our family and what a blessing she's been. A smart and sassy little girl who loves us almost as much as we love her.

What I love most about this rescue is that they don't only rescue the young and the healthy. They save as many as they can no mater what age or health. The most fantastic rescue I have ever been a part of. I love it so much I'm now a volunteer helping others find their special dog.

On April 6, 2019, I went to Hamilton, Ontario to pick up my precious little guy, Hutch. He has been my best buddy ever since. I cannot say enough good about all the volunteers from Texas and Canada who made my adoption possible. From the caring woman who rescued my little guy, the person who fostered him, TXCR who organized everything from his rescue, to his medical care and fostering, then the trip to Canada! The wonderful people who drive the van full of puppies to their new homes. All the messages and videos they put on FB to keep the anxious new owners up to date on how their new babies are doing.

There are the people who bath the dogs and get them ready for the trip. The vet checks that are done. It just goes on! The volunteers here in Canada who coordinate with potential adopters, organize fosters for those puppies needing it. Renting the Hall for adoption day and everything that that involves, right up to the lovely lady who gave me a hand knitted blanket for my Hutchie. You are all WONDERFUL!

I tear up when I think of my little Hutchie as a stray in a parking lot, but he is just so loved now, and he is just one of the many many Happy Ever Afters for all of the lucky puppies that TXCR and TXCR Canada rescue, rehabilitate and/or bring back to health, and then rehome.

She walks proudly with her purple collar & the TXCR tag telling them her story. It is the greatest feeling knowing that you have helped a little pup at a second chance at life.

We adopted a pup named Diego from this rescue and couldn't be more in love with him! Lisa in Guelph, helped us through the entire process and throughout his journey to Canada, we were able to see Diego through pictures and videos on Facebook. Lisa was so helpful in our adoption journey and it was clear through their vetting process that the rescue really wants to ensure that the dogs go to loving and forever homes. When you adopt from this rescue it really. does feel like you are saving two lives as each adoption makes it possible for them to help another dog! We highly recommend this rescue!

On the early morning or March 9 my best friend and I ventured out to try to be first in line at the adoption event. We got there at about 7:10 am ready to freeze so I could come home with a Lovable little rescue. I ended up leaving with Cadmus. A teeny tiny under weight little angel who was barely in the care of TXR. They just got him in time for the adoption out here in Hamilton Canada. He has a complex quirky little personality but can steal anyone's heart and I know that all the work we do every day to get to know eachother is going to turn into something so special. He seems to really love his new home. The entire experience of adopting Cadmus was so special and amazing both for me and my best friend. Everyone who meets him falls into instant love. I love him so much. Thank you TCR for saving this beautiful little angel.

We just adopted one of the fur babies from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. Even though she was the most feral of the bunch, she is adjusting really well to her new surroundings. Somehow she just knows she is home! I wasn’t expecting doggy kisses or snuggles so soon, but she is full of them! She is the sweetest little angel. The staff and volunteers at TCR are so caring and diligent, I was worried I was going to drive Shirley nuts with all my questions, but she was so caring and took the time to make sure we adopted the dog that was right for us. When you adopt with them, you save two lives, the one you take home, and the one who takes its place with the rescue :)

From that point on they was with me every step of the way and answered any questions I had no matter the time or day. There is always someone who will get right back to you the same day. The adoption was so easy and quick. Once they check your information and references everything goes smoothly. We are so happy that we chose this rescue they are amazing and are there for you during and after the adoption. They still check up on you even after the adoption and how your new family member is adapting to their new home. Adopting Tango was one go the best decisions we made, we absolutely adore him.

We had a wonderful experience adopting Minx and Dove through the Texas Chihuahua Rescue group. We met the Chihuahua "caravan" in Cheektowaga NY as one was a puppy who couldn't cross into Canada without her owners. The application and vetting process were straightforward. The volunteers are excellent--we had a pleasant conversation with the woman who vetted us and received thoughtful, comprehensive information from the woman who cared for the dogs at the kennel Ranch. Her suggestion helped us make our choice. The two dogs are in excellent health and had received good training before coming to us--one was potty-trained and the puppy was well on her way to being so. Thanks also to the Cheektowaga PetSmart for facilitating the adoption by allowing us to pick up the dogs from Kelly and her brother at their store. We're very satisfied with the experience and recommend the Texas Chihuahua Rescue to anyone looking for a great addition to their family.

After losing one of our four legged family members last year we felt it was the right time to add a new member. We always knew we wanted to give a home to a rescue dog this time round so spend some time online looking for the right one and came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue on facebook and after doing some research knew we wanted to go through them. From start to finish the whole process was fantastic they made it an easy process for us! As soon as we saw our little guy Ludo (aka Jojo) we knew he was the one. I have to say Shirley who we dealt with from the Canadian Team was just the best and nothing was to much trouble so thank you Shirley! Ludo has been with us for 5 days and he acts like he has always been with us and his fur siblings have welcomed him with open paws! If we ever wanted to bring another pup into the family then we would go through TXR for sure!! Thank you guys for everything you are simply the best!

I was looking to add another family member to my family and began doing some research. I originally found Texas Chihuahua Rescue on Facebook and after learning that Chihuahuas are euthanized so often, decided I wanted to adopt another one.

Their website is user friendly and all of their descriptions are loving but honest. They highlight good qualities about each pup, special considerations and any challenges that anybody should know. I thought that this really showed that they care about finding great matches for their pups and actually take the time to get to know and care for them. I completed an application and was put in contact with a staff member who helped me throughout every step of the process. Not only was she knowledgeable but she was so kind, followed up right away, and was just so genuine. She answered all of my questions and calmed all my worries. She also put me into contact with other people of interest throughout the organization.

Not only was I impressed with the process and the people that I came into contact with, but I was so impressed with the way in which they transport the animals. They transport them over several days in a big, clean van. The puppies have adequate space and nice blankets, beds, toys etc. Texas Chihuahua Rescue provides updates via Facebook including videos of potty breaks, and stops along the way. From these videos, posts, etc. you can really tell how much the staff care about these pups. It is heartwarming to see and I was just so impressed.

I have had my little guy for several weeks now, and I have been checked on my multiple people via email for updates, questions and support. I just cannot praise this organization enough. I adopted a dog with special needs as he has two legs that do not work properly. They have helped somebody with little experience rise to this challenge and provided me with so much information and resources. They shared many tips to help with his anxiety. They truly made this experience wonderful.

I recently adopted our little one (“Legolas”, aka “Simon”) from Texas Chihuahua Rescue, and I am so happy with the whole experience. I have had many dogs in the past (some rescues), worked as a dog trainer for 12 years, fostered rescue dogs, and have experience at a veterinary clinic. From my experience, Texas Chihuaha Rescue is a very well run organization and does everything possible to find good matches for their dogs. The dog we adopted was accurately described in his bio which included both charming characteristics and challenging ones. He is a very good fit for our family and we love him already. I credit this to great fostering and a thorough application process. TCR was diligent on adoption day, protecting the dogs from too much commotion and keeping everything running smoothly. The vet records we received were very detailed and up-to-date, and veterinary care was above and beyond minimal requirements. Our little Legolas is an absolute joy, and I am so appreciative to all responsible for his care up until he came home. Without these wonderful people he would not be here today. ❤️

Texas Chihuahua Rescue is an amazing organization with a heart of gold! I found my heart in May of 2018 with them and it was the best experience ever. I live over 300 miles away, we spoke via text, emails, FB messages. I was sent all kinds of pictures and videos of my little Pilot. They are very good at matching the right person to the pup and take great care in these matches and upkeep of the babies. They even check in with you to make sure everything is working out and if you have any questions, they will not hesitate to help you.
I loved this rescue so much, I helped my Mom find her baby with them and she had the same experience I had with them. I continue to keep up with Pilot’s foster Mom and the rescue, I wish I could adopt them all but I can’t so Pilot and I help get the word out about them and Pilot of course donates to the family that saved his life and brought him to me.
We love everyone here and so will you!

I had been looking for a chihuahua for quite some time now and I found this rescue on Facebook. Texas Chihuahua Rescue has so many sweet pups coming in each day, it was very hard to pick just one. I had been looking for an older pup to give them a loving home for the rest of their days. I had found one, but someone got to her before I could, then another and the same thing happened.
Then one day I was just looking and they posted about my little man Pilot and it was love at first site! We are an aviation family with 3 other pups, Piper, 10 yr old chihuahua, Cessna, a 1 year old black lab, and our newest addition thanks to my sister in law, Amelia Airbark, she is a 3 month old chug. Now imagine my surprise when I saw this adorable little man named Pilot! It was meant to be, I posted many times on his picture about how perfect he would fit in with my pack and immediately emailed Tammi about adopting him. Next thing we know, we received an email stating Pilot was available and we could come get him!
I was beyond happy! We loaded up our pack and drove down to San Antonio to meet Kelley and pick up my little man. He fit in perfectly with our pack.
Everyone at TCRI are very professional, they are so loving with their rescues, they do everything they can to get these poor babies off the streets and out of these shelter to get them adopted to loving families. They work so hard and depend on us for donations to be able to help as many babies as they can and the work they do is absolutely fantastic.

Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Inc for all you do for these animals. You are all an amazing family, and let’s not forget all the families that take these pups into their homes and foster them until they go to their furever homes. God Bless you all!

I adopted a 3 month old Puppy named Biscuit from the Texas Chihuahua Rescue. The process was stress free and the kind and caring volunteers are amazing and supportive. The adoption includes your pet being neutered/spay, all vaccines and immunizations, as well as micro-chipped. They provide all the vet paperwork/records and any other paper work you need if you are crossing the border. When I adopted Biscuit, he came in a cute knitted sweater, collar and ID tag. I had so much support after the adoption also with people checking up on us and his previous foster home providing me with information on what he had been eating, how is bathroom training was going, his favourite toys and other info that was nice to know. These dogs are very well treated in this agency and I would reccomend adopting from them if you are looking to expand your family.

Hello friends!

I adopted Thatcher who my daughter has now named Taco. He is such a sweetheart and gives so much love to us and everyone he meets. He follows me everywhere I go, I always hear his little feet ticking behind me, he loves to curl up under my comforter with me every night He is not liking this Canadian cold weather already so I have him trained to do his business on a fake patch of grass downstairs with puppy pads around it. He goes outside as well , I am just preparing for the -20 degree weather that is coming.
Taco loves playing with his little toys and cuddling up on his blanket. He really likes to chase my black cat Deva around as well, up and down the stairs and she needs the exercise as well. She follows us when I take Taco out for his walks. They take naps at the same time on the couch, him on the cushion and her on the top. It's so adorable.
This has been a wonderful experience. I want to thank all the people at TCR, especially Tara White. Taco had Kennel Cough when he arrived and Tara came to the rescue, like I mean she came to my house. She gave me advice , let me know this is a common thing and not to worry. I was so impressed.
Well this Chihuahua Mama is off to have a wonderful life with an amazing new pet.

Thank you so much for allowing this to happen.

At every turn they were responsive, helpful, informative, *honest* and KIND - throughout the adoption process. Thank you, Texas rescue! We love our furry angel very much!

Thank you so much for our second amazing addition Pluto. We are so thankful for this organization. Such a smooth process from start to finish. Especially the second time around.
The descriptions from the wonderful foster parents are so accurate and really give an accurate picture of the characteristics of the available doggies.
Our mickey has truly found his Pluto thanks to Texas chihuahua rescue.
You are an amazing group of people and our family is forever thankful for this experience.

We adopted our dog Heights two weeks ago from the program. She is a very friendly and affectionate dog with excellent manners. It is clear that she was fostered and trained very well. She has excellent temperament and manners, she walks well on a leash, is obedient and eats well. Working with the tcr program was very enjoyable and the professional approach they took made us comfortable in the pet we were adopting. We found out about the program from a neighbor who used and recommend it and we would do the same.

Thank you

This is Sancho. We adopted him July 14th 2018 from TXCR and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. We also have two pomchi boys (they’re brothers) and it was such a hard process to adopt them. This was so easy. They gave us back to back emails about information, things we should buy, check in emails once we got him. Also, they did a home visit (or virtual home visit) which really shows how much they love and care for these animals. The rescue has such sweet staff and volunteers! If we were going to adopt another pup we would for sure adopt from TXCR. If your wondering they Spay/Neuter, microchip,deworm (if needed) and vaccinate all pups before adoption which is a great thing.

I would rate TXCR a 5/5 and fully recommend them!!

About 2 weeks ago I decided to attend an event this organiation held in Hamilton- this is where I met my little fur-baby Charlie (was Genevieve). I had been in contact with other rescue organizations and I found the process with them to be slow, difficult, and overwhelming.
As soon as I sat Charlie down on my lap I knew that I wanted her to be a part of the family. The volunteers there were beyond sweet and helpful, they assured me they would get Charlie to me as soon as possible. I was nervous due to my negative experiences with rescue organizations but this time it was much different.
They were deligent yet VERY quick, I went to pick Charlie up the following weekend. They were in contact with me answering questions Prior to pickup and still email to checkup on her and offer support.
If you are on the verge of giving up on rescue organizations PLEASE give Texas Chihuahua Rescue a go- you will not regret it!!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart

We live in Ontario Canada and at first I was hesitant about adopting a puppy from Texas and having to pick it up in Buffalo, NY. I had no need to worry, however, because the process was quick and easy and all of our questions were answered. We were even sent a video of our puppy, which we watched almost every day until he arrived. Everyone at TCR was extremely pleasant to deal with. Also, we had no trouble at the border at all.
The puppies/dogs come fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and neutered/spayed, so the adoption fee is very reasonable (and also includes transport).

The entire experience was positive and exciting , and I highly recommend adopting a dog from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. We love our little guy! Thank you, TCR!

Very impressed with Texas Chihuahua Rescue Inc., - from their first contact, the interview and explaining the process this charity bar none cares about animals. I was hesitant to use them as I'd NEVER heard of them, called PETSMART Charity to confirm they were legit and they confirmed. Texas Chihuahuha Rescue Inc - THEY WERE absolutely 100% the real thing, an organization that is passionate and caring about the animals they are helping. The description of the dogs is spot on, as a dog owner I can tell that the foster parents were wonderful socializing and training the dogs (as much as they could in a foster home). My little guy is very submissive which was perfect for my old French bulldog. He's healthy, has had initial heel training and is coming along so beautifully - he knows his new name and LOVES his big brother. Thank you Texas Rescue!! Keep on the wonderful work :)

I adopted Arnold/Yuki when learned in Facebook that he was from a puppy mill and he has been in a kennel for more than 3 years. His condition was a disaster according with the picture taken at the time. I decided adopt him knowing a dog no socialized as a puppy is going to be very difficult to adapt to a normal life, and even when is being a challenge for my ordered life with two older pets, the life with my new baby has been very rewarding. I am very happy with my dog and he is learning quickly. Now he learned to be in and out through the dog door, enjoys walks in the park, eats and sleeps very well. He still has a lot of things to learn, but I am sure he is a happy dog. I am glad to be part of Texas Chihuahua Rescue.

Our 16 year old chihuahua passed away on October 30, 2017. We were heartbroken as was his 8 year old chihuahua "sister". Finally, in February we decided to adopt another chihuahua. I had heard about Texas Chihuahua Rescue from a friend and contacted them online. I filled out an application and we were interested in a specific little dog. Our application was approved a couple days later, but by then the first little dog had been adopted. We decided to go to Petsmart where Texas Chihuahua Rescue is most Saturdays. We found Joey (previously named Doyle), a chihuahua mix. He is a great addition to our family and the entire process was very efficient and organized. I high recommend this group.

In October I adopted my 10 years young chihuahua Mattie from TCR. I am an advocate of dog adoption and rescue, and wanted to adopt an older dog, but I quickly got discouraged by the alarming number of puppies or young dogs for adoption through other rescues. A woman I work with adopted her dog from the TCR, so I decided to have a look at the dogs for adoption in my region. The TCR web site is an excellent resource. They provide colour photos of all the adoptable dogs, with a detailed description about their age, background and temperament. I filled out their on-line adoption form and was impressed at Maureen's quick response to my email. She answered all my questions immediately and within 48 hours of filling out an application TCR had contacted my references and emailed me about a home visit. Within days a lovely volunteer visited my home to confirm that I am not a hoarder or running a puppy mill. I was so pleased at their attention to the needs of the animals after adoption. The adoption fee is slightly higher than other rescues ($500) but worth every penny for the peace of mind it brought me to have someone take care of all the details. Pick up is at a local cafe and when I arrived I was greeted by a throng of tiny dogs and a warm welcome from their owners, many of whom are also volunteers. It was a relaxed atmosphere, organized chaos, but such a great introduction to my new dog. I continue to enjoy Maureen's email messages and updates about TCR. I would like to get more involved when time allows because they are the best adoption organization I have ever worked with. Until then I am enjoying the newest member of my family who has been such a blessing. I have Texas Chihuahua Rescue to thank for connecting me with this lovely girl (see attached Mattie's first Christmas in Hamilton).

I stumbled upon the Texas Chihuahua rescue one day at work while looking online to adopt a dog. I already have a 10 year old chihuahua and always wanted to adopt another.

I found Peyton on the available puppies page. She was everything I always wanted. A terrier/chihuahua mix, blonde and young. I would have adopted a older dog, however was nervous how my senior would react. I submitted my application and by 11 PM that night she was mine.

2 weeks past and it was finally time to pick her up in Buffalo. I was met by Maureen and her many volunteers. It was the most effortless process I have EVER experienced, and considering all that was involved in getting my puppy from Texas to Ontario, that says a lot.

Peyton has filled a missing piece of the puzzle for my little family. She is the best thing I have ever done, and I know I will eventually adopt another or foster some in need chihuahua. I have also become a volunteer for the organization and donate on a monthly basis to help support them any way possible!!!!

Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue for all that you do. You are truly angels on earth.

This was one of the best decisions of my life! I stumbled upon the Texas Chihuahua rescue on a Monday at work. I have a 10 year old tea cup chihuahua and was always looking to add another addition, however, it had to be a puppy. Within hours of finding the page, I had already submitted a application to adopt Peyton. At 10PM that night, I was contacted and advised she was still available, and would be placed on a hold for me. I paid for her the next day. The worst part was waiting for her!!

I was sent updates throughout the week, along with a guide on what to expect and the process she was going through ( vet check, neutered, her chip and so on).

They were even so kind to send pictures and a short video of all the dogs as they left on transport day !

We arrived in Buffalo at 6:30 AM and within a hour we were on our way home.

This was the EASIEST process I've ever done, and in the end, we saved her little life.
Shes now happy to be at her forever home, where she can now be a puppy!

We stumbled across the TXCR by accident after reading an article in a local Hamilton Ontario newspaper. We checked out their FB site and immediately liked what we saw. A real community feel. So many dogs in need plus they had a transport to our area every few weeks. My daughter and I started looking and then we saw "her" We fell in love with that face right away and started the adoption process. Everything was so smooth and everyone so helpful. After a home visit/ reference check and vet call by the rescue we were approved. A few short weeks later we finally met "Fancy" She has been everything we could have ever hoped for. The foster did a wonderful job and her description was very accurate. We cannot imagine our home without Fancy. She sleeps every night on my daughters bed and absolutely adores my husband and he her.

We had the great privilege of adopting Poncho from this amazing rescue. We couldn't be happier with this little guy. He is so well adjusted and has such a wonderful disposition. They made everything simple and straight forward. They are a very professional organization and the dogs are well taken care of before they find their forever homes. Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue.

Hi everybody! Back in November I adopted from the Texas chihuahua rescue. Her name is Amaretto and I could be more happy to have her every part of my family. I knew deep down I was going to adopt another one I just needed to find one that their story really melted my heart. I came across Swayze story and I knew right away that this had to be the one in I message them right away and they responded that there was no holes on him yet even though there were so many comments and likes on Facebook still nothing. So right away I said hold him for me and that was it. February 17th I brought him to his furever home.

I am so thankful to have found this wonderful and amazing rescue! They go above and beyond to find the right homes for these fur babies! They take great care along with the foster Moms who treat these babies as if they were their own! They get to know the ones they rescue before they go up for adoption.
I lost my girl in August of 2017 and my life changed in an instant. A piece of me died when she was killed by a hit and run and passed in my arms. I realized the only way to get out of my depression was to rescue another. Reading about the disasters and too many dogs in Texas, I came across this rescue on Facebook! I found Monet on here I knew she had to be mine. They sent extra pictures and videos of her Which were awesome to do! I then came across Amaretto and decided to adopt her as well. I was so very excited to be able to rescue these two babies! Unfortunately something had happened to me and I asked a question and I lost Monet because of it! I realize how hard everyone works to help these fur babies find homes. I wish with all my heart that they would tell me that she is able to come after all. If it was only explained when I asked, Monet for SURE would not have lost out being a part of my family.
Anyways, the day of transport was such an exciting day. I couldn't wait to meet Amaretto! When I saw her she came into my lap and licked away with her wagging tail! She met my boyfriend and his 2 puppy Shepherds ( which thought she was a live toy), his older Shepherd , my kids and my other pets and they all get along great! It was instant love for us all! Her past is her past she has left that behind to enjoy and be loved in the future! She is an absolute treasure in all that she does and loves to sleep under the covers beside me with Tabo! :0) I can't wait for her to see the snow even though she does NOT like the cold now! lol People ask how can you decide based on a photo. I say, its that and their story too and you get more satisfaction from adopting because you truly save a life! Most of these dogs never felt love, a warm home, food in a bowl and for them to be able to express love from where they came from is truly amazing! My dogs are my world, they thank me every day for giving them a permanent home and I thank them back for rescuing me!
THANK YOU TXCR ! Highly recommend!

Holly entered our life and it's like she's always been a part of it. I wanted a puppy and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I googled puppy adoption websites and found Texas Chihuahua Rescue. I searched through photos and found a puppy I wanted, when i asked about him, he had already been adopted but was told about another litter of puppies that needed homes. As soon as i saw Holly (Freedom) I knew she had to be a part of our home. The process was so easy and smooth, the hardest part was waiting the 2 weeks until we could go and get her. She's only been in our house 4 days and is so smart and learning so much every day. I love coming home to her puppy kisses. Thankyou TCRI for our puppy and saving so many dogs lives. Forever grateful. Janet

Our forever dog Taz

Two years ago this month (November), Cyndy Thompson approached my husband and I to see if we would be interested in adopting a Chihuahua. Initially, we had some reservations about it, but thankfully, Cyndy opened our eyes to the enjoyment we were missing.
Cyndy invited us to an open house at a pet store on a Saturday, so I coaxed my husband, Jim, and son, Chris to go visit and see her rescue dogs. There were only two on that day, Taz and Ellie Mae. I was drawn to Ellie Mae as she was super cute but my husband and son agreed “she looked too small and frail” so, we were drawn to Taz. He was very friendly and did not bark once while we were there. We went home later and had a discussion….Chris and I really liked Taz and thought it would be great to have him in our home. Jim finally gave in and we adopted Taz and haven’t looked back! These two years have been great with him….he is the funniest and happiest dog we could ever have come to know. He loves to bark a lot (even when the doorbell ringing or door knocking comes on TV!!) and he loves to sleep a lot too. He will even give you lots of kisses!. He gets along fairly well with our 2 cats although they have taken their time getting used to him. He loves to go on long walks AND loves to EAT!!! Sometimes he will beg for the scraps on our plates so we always have some dog bones or treats to take his mind (and nose) off that. Taz is an amazing addition to our family. And, oh, by the way, Ellie Mae was adopted by a good friend of mine and she is truly loved. I love happy endings!!!!
Thank you Cyndy for your great work and bringing homeless dogs to good warm homes and families too!

My husband and I have been looking to adopt a rescued small breed for months. We saw the Texas Chihuahua Group had been bringing dogs to Canada and were excited to have an opportunity to possibly bring a dog to Richmond Hill, Ontario from Texas. Unfortunately the woman I dealt with who said she was in charge of "GTA adoptions" was not very friendly and quite rude on the phone and in her emails. She kept "forgetting" and "misplacing" information that I had already provided to her. It took so long for her to complete my "reference checks" that the dog we had our heart set on was adopted to someone else and she did not seem very apologetic. She did tell me was that this was not her "real" job and she and her husband were just volunteers. Her attitude stunk! The Texas people were very friendly by email and phone, but the Canadian person for the GTA area was rude, unhelpful and gave the impression I was inconveniencing her by asking questions. I was also informed that I was too old to adopt a puppy which I thought was quite rude as to me, she was implying I would die and leave the puppy behind. Of course I would ensure there was a home for our dog with a family member or friendddd if something should happen to my husband and I down the road. What a disappointment. A few months ago we found a sweet pair of young dogs at "The Dog Sanctuary". They had to stay together and we were happy to take them both. "The Dog Sanctuary" treated us like we were angels saving these 2 lovely dogs and did not even ask us how old we were! They processed our application quickly and treated us with the utmost respect the entire process. Our experience was so positive we are now monthly Donors to "The Dog Sanctuary". Ontario has lots of great rescue groups who have their priorities right! I inquired about potentially becoming a monthly donor but the Canadian branch is not a registered charity and can NOT give out tax receipts. Hopefully Texas Chihuahua-Canada smartens up and gets it right but if they don't, there are many alternatives to find your next dog like The Dog Sanctuary!

My little girl Sky is deaf so the process was a bit longer than usual which I appreciated a lot. It shows how much the organization truly cares for each pet.

I recently adopted two senior chihuahuas from Texas Chihuahua Rescue.

What I love about them is that they are very thorough in their application, they tell truths about the dogs and their personalities. They answer any and all questions and they follow-up on their adopted dogs.

I didn’t think that I was ready to adopt so soon after my Rottweiler suddenly passed in August but after seeing some of TXCR’s dogs on Facebook, I just had to adopt a couple of them.

Thank you to Texas Chihuahua Rescue for taking such good care of these beautiful dogs that have no voice. Thank you for giving them a chance to be loved.

Adopting a rescue dog takes a great deal of thought. My husband and I had decided that we didn't want another dog after the passing of our beloved Cocker Spaniel. It had been 3 years by the time Coco (named April by the rescue) found me. She had come to Canada for a hopeful adoption and was fostered in my community when her and I met. She was SO cute, I couldn't resist and after taking her home to meet my husband, within 2 days, she was ours and she had found her furever home. Coco had hit the jackpot you could say....we lived in Ontario for 6 months and wintered 6 months in Florida. She would never have to see snow! Life was good and after 9 months, upon having a blood test for her ongoing heartworm meds, she came up positive for heartworm. This was devastating news to us and after speaking with the Texas Chihuahua Rescue representative, they offered to fly her back to Texas to give her the heartworm treatment. Coco spent 10 weeks in Texas and seemed to do ok with her treatment. She came home but upon her return, she just didn't seem right and the folks at Texas Chihuahua Rescue agreed. Coco, very quickly became ill. She starte walking criss crossed, wobbling...signs of ataxia. We took her to a chiropractor and that helped a little we thought. Texas Chihuahua Rescue asked us to get an MRI and helped us with it, along with any other medical bills for hospital stays, etc. The MRI showed us she had Inflammation on the Brain and the protocol would be a steroid medication. Day by day, Coco was feeling better....it has been 4 weeks and she is almost 90% of her old self. She will continue the meds till they tell us to stop and we hope that she will continue to feel well and ward off the neurological problems. There were times on this journey that we were ready to give up...times that we thought she would not make it through, but with the help and loving support from Texas Chihuahua Rescue, we have our little girl back. She is still here for us to love and cuddle because sometimes it is about loving someone else besides yourself. Coco has completed our family and softened our hearts and we can't imagine life without her. This organization is top notch and I can't say enough wonderful things about it and the people that work for the rescue...working hard everyday to save the life's of these little ones. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

When I found "Cami" at ACS she was almost completely bald, ears completely infected, and her nails looked like they had never been cut. She was actually crying huge tears. I sat with her for hours before I checked my Facebook and saw the rescue by chance. I contacted them through email and Tammie answered right away. They were on the way! A few weeks later I picked her up. She overcame her skin issues, double ear infections, tooth surgery (all covered by TCR) and slowly but surely came out of her shell. She has an actual smile on her face daily and we adore it! She won our hearts and the hearts of her new brother and sisters. Every time we thought about taking her to an adoption event she'd hit a new milestone and prove she belonged here. Now named Bella Star she's adjusted perfectly. She potty trained right away, and helped her shy sister break out of her shell. She also loved cats so the transition was seamless. We're over the moon with our little Star. We couldn't imagine a life without her. She was definitely the missing piece in our home. Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue we can't say enough good things about you all and the entire process. Our baby is now in her forever home.

Texas Chihuahua Rescue is a fantastic organization. If it wasn't for them, I would not have met my precious long-haired chihuahua "Picasso." They matched me with a dog that would be happy living in an apartment on the 12th floor. Everyone who meets my little guy in the elevator or the dog park loves him. But, they don't love him as much a I do! He adds so much happiness to my life. He is a very gentle, sweet doggie who loves to cuddle. Deciding to rescue this precious dog was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks Texas Chihuahua Rescue!

They gave an accurate description of her personality and the qualities of a home that would make for a good fit for her. I really liked that they sent videos so I could see her in action and the video helped to win over my husband. Initially he was uncertain about adopting a pet he hadn't met in person. As you can see in the photo insert he is totally in love with her just like me. Tammi Parker and all of the team were supportive and loving. I thought the pick up process was fun and exciting.

They go the extra mile....literally! We live in the Yukon in Canada, which is approximately 5400kms (3400 miles) from San Antonio. We have a lot of larger dogs where we live in Northern Canada, but I was looking for a small dog which could travel and fly places with us. So I reluctantly contacted Texas Chihuahua rescue. They transport dogs to Ontario, Canada. Since we'd be travelling out that way during the next month or so, I contacted them and asked what they thought. Initially I was wondering as well about the possibility that we would not be approved due to our having a cat and a 60lb American Staffordshire dog. But they really don't discriminate dogs, which I thought was amazing since many folks have pre conceived notions about chis as they do about the "pit bull". We were travelling when the transport occurred, and the Canadian group stepped up and really helped us out tremendously by helping us find an East Coast foster home until we could get our little girl. It all worked out for us. We made it home with our girl, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this rescue. Every single person that I was in contact with (with my many questions and worries) they eased my mind again and again. I felt totally comfortable even adopting a dog which was so significantly far from where I live. Friends thought I was crazy. And this is a bit of a rare situation because we're quite far. However, as I said to the ladies at the rescue, it just goes to show what we can all accomplish if we work together for those that cannot help improve their circumstances on their own. What could we be if we all worked as hard as those at TXCR and TXCR Canada??? THE ANSWER: AWESOME!!! And if we worked together we could remedy the pet overpopulation problem! THERE ARE NO BORDERS FOR DOG LOVE!!! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. I would give you 10 stars if I could!!! :)

The Texas Chihuahua Rescue is a fantastic organization run entirely by awesome volunteers. In July 2017 I applied and was approved to adopt Estella, a young, stray Chihuahua found in McAllen Texas. The volunteers advised me that she had been in very poor condition. The volunteers got her the medical help she so badly needed. The fleas and ticks were removed, she was nourished and neutered. I was kept up to date as I waited for the God’s Dogs Transportation team to deliver her 1700 miles away to Delaware, where Estella has found her forever home. Without the Texas Chihuahua Rescue team, she would not have gotten the second chance she deserved. She is now a happy and healthy addition to our family. We love her so much. She is such a little gem we call her RUBI. She has stopped being afraid, and no longer cowers and shakes. She loves to play in the morning and has many little dog toys. At night all we have to say is “let’s go to bed” and she runs up the stairs and leaps into her bed (a plush dog bed inside a canvas crate) and sleeps peacefully all night. The photos below show what Rubi looked like shortly after she was found, and now. We are very grateful to Catherine and Tamie, and the whole Texas Chihuahua team. THANK YOU FOR OUR RUBI.

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer 17 months ago and was gifted many things after her diagnosis. We decided we needed to teach her about giving back and being thankful for what you have. One of the things she chose to do was to rescue a dog. As soon as we saw Maya aka Bonnie, we were in love and knew we had to rescue her. Maureen was amazing! She explained the whole process, and was so quick to complete all the necessary work on her end. In a matter of hours, Maya was officially ours. I am so thankful to everyone who made this possible. From Maureen, to the vet staff, to the transport team. Everyone involved took such great care in the whole process. Our daughter has taken her role of caregiver very seriously, and is so proud to say that she rescued a dog. Maya has fit right in to our family and enjoys her daily walks, morning play out in the yard, and snuggling with each member of the family in the evening. Maya has given our daughter a ray of sunshine during this difficult time in her life. Maya gives her something to care for and provides a distraction from her reality of dealing with cancer. We are so thankful to TXCR for everything. We have recommended them to anyone looking to expand their fur family, and will continue to praise them every chance we get.

My husband and I were looking to adopt another dog. I take our dog to work with me and planned on taking our new family member to work as well so we decided a smaller breed would be best. My husbands family has always had rescued animals so we began searching small breed rescue agencies. I came across TCR and researched their reputation, legitimacy and reviews. Every review I found was positive so I contacted them and within the hour I received a reply with some information and an application. I was a little apprehensive because I was never able to meet the adoptee, but in the picture her eyes were bright and she looked quite healthy. (It didn't hurt that she's the cutest thing I've ever seen.) The process went smoothly; TCR called my vet and friend as references and suggested a pup for us. I'm so happy I adopted from this agency. Jazz is a sweet, spunky, incredibly smart little girl. She loves people and gets along with everyone. House training took one week, sit, lie down, leave it, come, stay were in the same week. We love our little baby and the people who brought her to us. All her shots were up to date, she was spay as well. She came with a harness as well because they are slippery little devils and so tiny! We highly recommend TCR for anyone looking to find a love for life

The Texas Chihuahua Rescue is a fantastic organisation that more people in Canada should know about. If you want to adopt a Chihuahua-size dog here in Montreal, you will be hard pressed to find one. The adoption network has very few small dogs. Many of my neighbours have gone to breeders, who must churn out more puppies to meet the demand. Meanwhile Chihuahuas are among the top two most euthanized breeds in the southern United States.

Congratulations to the Texas Chihuahua Rescue for their work sending hundreds of little dogs up to Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario.

Since I had some rather narrow criteria for the dog I wanted, I wanted to travel to San Antonio to “interview” a few of them before choosing my match. I was looking for an affectionate and outgoing dog, and since would travel and go everywhere with me, s/he had to be portable: 6 lbs or under, adaptable, and enjoy being in public.

The friendly, dynamic and competent women of Texas Chihuahua Rescue inquired and understood my needs perfectly. They welcomed my friend and me down to meet their Chichis and spend time getting to know them individually. We were treated to outstanding Texan hospitality, and everything went swimmingly, from the initial welcome to the final trip to the vet and then customs upon our return. They even gave us a carrier and my dog’s next heart-worm pill!

I chose Emma (aka Mouse) and, after doing some sight-seeing in San Antonio together, brought her back to her new home in Montreal. She is a hit: sassy and playful at the dog park, and a charmer with the neighbours and storekeepers.
Thank you, Texas Chihuahua Rescue, for making us both so happy!

After deciding to adopt a rescue dog we thought we would do so locally (Ontario Canada), but after hearing about the great work Texas Chihuahua Rescue does we decided on adopting out of country. The process was very easy and any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. Once we started the adoption process we ended up falling in love with not just 1 but 2 puppies. Because the puppies were under 8 months we had to go to Buffalo to pick them up. The border crossing was so easy as the team had put together all the information that customs would need. You can tell that the puppies have been cared for and loved by all involved in helping these two find their furever home. Thanks to the foster homes , coordinators (Maureen), transport team and the Texas Chihuahua Rescue team for what you do for all dogs in need of a home.

After my niece told my to check Adopt-a-Pet.com., I spotted my little boy Austin and I new then that God wanted me to adopt him. He's such a good little boy - awesome personality, doesn't bark, does his business outside unless I'm gone then he uses the pee-pads (at least most of the time since accidents do happen). He sticks to me like glue although now that he's gotten more confident that he's in a permanent home, he will explore more. Just takes a whistle to get him back over to me. He loves to play with toys and he can fetch for hours without getting tired even though he only has 3 good legs. He normally uses his left front leg as a crutch but he's still fast as lightning using just 3. He loves going outside and being able to play and roll around on grass, especially in the courtyard at the assisted living complex where his grandpa lives. I can't say enough about the Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Inc. They did a great job saving him and everything about the adoption went really smooth.

My experience with the Rescue was great! Easy and fast with responding. Yoda has been doing great adjusting to his forever home with his 2 sisters, one being another chi.

We are beyond grateful for Texas Chihuahua Rescue for our little Turkey. From her quirky ears and quirky personnality, we could not get ourselves to change her name. Turkey is as unique as her name. Thank you to Cathy for her phone calls. With the many questions I had sent by email. she kept it personal by chatting with me over the phone and reassuring me. She kept me updated and even went out of her way to help save travel time to pick up our pup, by getting us in contact with another adoptee travelling our way. She went above and beyond for us. I highhly recomment this rescue. They put the dogs first and look for the perfect fit, without scrutiny. Thank you for helping make our family complete.

Danni is my sweet little girl in the middle. Just had her DNA tested, and she is a chihuahua, border terrier and pomeranian mix She was originally to be a foster until she could find a forever home. But as soon as we met her, we knew this special girl would be with us forever. Now her and her sister Gizmo (the grey one) play together, and she snuggles with her other sister Chica (the black and tan one). Adoption process was smooth and easy. Am so glad we were able to connect, as Danni is one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet!

After I lost my sweet girl, Spunky, after 16 years, my heart aches. I had my fiance's dog, a giant pittie, but I still missed my small dog. For months I looked for a reputable rescue to find a chi girl who I could give a sweet home too. One day, just scrolling through my Facebook, Aponi, now known as Vader, popped up on my screen with her big gorgeous eyes and floppy ears. I knew I had to put in an application, but knew it would probably get denied due to the fact I have a Pit in the house. To my surprise, two days later, I got a call saying I got her! My mom and I drove out to pick up this sweet girl and she's been our little wild child ever since. I love this sweet girl more than words can describe. She isn't a replacement to the girl I lost, she's an addition and she has a little Chihuahua guardian angel always looking out for her. Thank you TXCR for allowing me to give this girl a home full of love.

Texas Chichuahua is an awesome organization. They have amazing fosters and transporters and always do whatever it takes to find loving homes for these sweet misfortunate babies. I have adopted two little babies from them and love them to death. Their vet that they use does excellent work to ensure they are well vetted.

I have fostered for TXCR several times, and have enjoyed the experience. My latest foster, Persephone, is just such a cutie, and fit in so well with my pack, that I joined the ranks of 'foster fails' and adopted her. Even though she is not a Chi (she is a Pekingese), TXCR stepped in to save this sweetie, when contacted by the local SNAP (Spay Neuter Clinic), who found her and her son abandoned in their parking lot. TXCR does an amazing job rescuing, vetting, and caring for hundred of Chi's, mixes and honorary Chi's each year. They always do what is in the best interests of the dog, including providing often expensive medical care (dentals, as well) to every dog that needs it. Many rescue groups leave some or more of this care to the new adopters. I highly recommend TXCR as a reputable and caring organization to adopt from.

I just adopted a chihuahua mix through Texas Chihuahua Rescue, and the process exceeded all my expectations. I contacted them after seeing some of their available pets on AdoptAPet, They were extremely responsive from the beginning to the end to all my inquiries and questions. I ultimately adopted a 13 week old puppy, who had to be transported from Texas to Pennsylvania. She was not ready for travel for about a month, and during this waiting period, I was kept informed of the next steps, and very quickly had all my questions answered. TXCR took care of all the arrangments, and everything went perfectly. She arrived at the location and time that was designated, and it was obviously her trip north on a van full of rescues went very smooth. She was happy and healthy, and so ready to go to her forever home. It was obvious that her foster family took great care of her as she is calm, loving, and very sociable. The ladies transporting the dogs were angels. I even got a "check in" email the following morning. I would HIGHLY recommend this rescue organization to anyone. Through the process, it was apparent that the organization and its affiliates (including extended people, like fosters, transporters, and veterinarians) are made up of many individuals who truly believe in what they are doing and provide the best care to their rescues. I couldn't be happier.

You can't find a more friendly, helpful, quick to respond group of people who love what they do. We had been searching for a puppy to complete our little family and so many charities were very hard to get a hold of. Texas Chihuahua Rescue responded almost instantly to our emails and were very informative and patient in answering all my questions.

When the big day finally arrived to bring our little puppy home we were greeted by so many smiling excited faces at the pick up point. Everyone was so excited for us. Our little pupper is perfect.

Muggsy is so clam, I can tell that she was so well socialized and loved, it has made her transition into our lives seamless. Everyone at this organization loves what they do, and it shows in how well adjusted this little puppy is.

I can't recommend them enough.
:) Nicole, Devin + Muggsy

I would highly recommend Texas Chihuahua Rescue to anyone! This rescue organization does a great job of providing factual, accurate information about the dogs and puppies in their care, in order to find the best match for both the dog and the family.
I found this rescue (in Canada) when searching on Petfinder. We wanted to adopt a young dog, as opposed to buying from a breeder. I would encourage everyone to seriously consider this route. There are so many great dogs out there that need homes.
My questions throughout the adoption process were handled in a timely fashion, and very professionally. I was able to find out more info about our dog from the foster mom. We will forever be grateful to this fantastic rescue for our sweet pup Izzy (formerly Icee). She is a cuddly, people-oriented dog that is so smart. The volunteers here are incredible. From the foster moms/dads, to the transport and admin/organizers; they do a fantastic job.
Texas Chihuahua rescue takes in all kinds of breeds (Izzy is a mix); so please like their Facebook page(s). If you are in Canada, like their Texas Chihuahua Rescue - Canada page for up to date info about available dogs. The adoption process is very organized. The dogs are transported to their furever homes through the rescue, and this fee is included in the adoption fee.
I would recommend this rescue to anyone wanting to adopt. We are so happy with our experience and our sweet pup!

I love Texas Chihuahua Rescue! I love our compassion for savings seniors, little dogs that are in peril and all the Chihuahuas & mixes we take in. We have the most amaxing foster homes that help us until we can find furever homes for the dogs we rescue. Our partnership with a team in Canada is helping us find more homes for the dogs we rescue. We are so fortunate to have a wonderful Facebook following to help us find the funds to care for these dogs!

Our sweet Thea is a 3 year old chi mix, and owes her life to TXCR. She was found by them in a shelter, pregnant and on death row. The took her in, helped her to deliver her puppies safely, and then fostered her for over a year while she battled some stubborn heartworms. When she was listed for adoption, we fell in love. The rescue team was so incredibly helpful and warm throughout the interview and adoption process. They delivered her to our home, where she was a perfect fit for our family. She has been so gentle and loving with myself, my partner, and our 5 year old daughter. She has such an incredible temperament, sleeping in all of our laps, soaking up the snuggles, and basking in the love. She is quiet, incredibly well behaved both indoors and outdoors, walks so well on her harness thst our daughter is able to walk her with zero trouble. We cannot believe how lucky we are to have found her, and the entire TXCR team. We could not have asked for a better match, and feel so much gratitude towards these wonderful people for enriching our lives with Thea's presence. This rescue will be our go to for any future fur babies, no questions about it. They are angels, and they have given us such a beautiful gift. Thank you, team, for saving our sweet girl, and for fostering her thorough her most trying times. You are truly changing lives with all you do.

We have adopted 2 adorable Chis from TCR,I and have not regretted either adoption. We adopted ChaCha 2 years ago after loosing our precious Chiquita. We recently adopted a Senior Chi, Evie. ChaCha was adopted as a Therapy dog for my husband who had been diagnosed with Anxiety and she visits him in the hospital when he is there. She is a Beautiful, smart and Loving little Chi. I When I saw Evie's picture she just tugged at my heart and I knew she would live the rest of her years with us in Utopia Texas. She is deaf and probably around 14 years old. She barks at us when she needs to potty or eat. Her big round eyes follow us everywhere. ChaCha & Evie love to play "Chase Mz Kittie" Evie still haven't decided about Big dog brother, Bear & Big dog Sister, LOla and just watches BIG cat Brother Turk. When she sees me in the kitchen, she follows me and watches me with those Big Beautiful Black eyes. She has taken to our home as if she had lived here her whole life. We love both our girls. TCRI is an incredible group of loving humans, doing an impossible job trying to ease the suffering of some of the Homeless dogs. If you're contemplating getting a Chihuahua or any pet PLEASE RESCUE instead of buying. Too many Homeless dogs & cats get put down.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for giving us Indie. My wife would go to our local Petsmart every saturday to look at Chihuahuas and when she saw India (now Sandy) she fell in love. She is such a sweet girl! She is getting along very well with our two Golden Retrievers.
Again, thank you for taking your time come to our house and trusting us to take care of her.

Best Regards, Gary And Yoshiko Penton.

Texas Chihuahua Rescue is by far the most incredible group of compassionate people I have ever encountered. I adopted a little chi from Texas and he was safely transported all the way to Burlington, Ontario just a few days ago. During the adoption process, after the adoption was confirmed, and even after my little chi's arrival, Texas Chihuahua Rescue continued to support and walk me through everything. They are so easy to communicate with and try their hardest to be there when you need them, or even when you don't need them! They check in with me to see how everything is going. I'm so grateful to be a part of their extended family! And I love my Chi, Kalvin!
