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!
I wasn't really looking for another furbaby. But I came across your facebook page. And just couldnt resist. I applied for one of the chihuahuas. But he was adopted to another family. I was just a little sad. But then there she was. Journey AKA Farah. Oh she was so stinking cute. So I thought... Should I apply again for this one? So I did. I got "the phone call" Lots of questions. And rightfully so. Wouldnt have wanted it any other way. Tamie was so nice. So I waited. And then. I get another phone call. I was able to adopt Journey. I was so happy. She has been a blessing. We love her so much. And the adoption transition went awesome. Not having to worry if she had any kind of illness was a BIG plus. This Chihuahua rescue makes sure they are completely healthy before being adopted. Here is a photo of our sweet Journey.
This is a great group they are so friendly and helpful, they are so great with these puppy's and helping them find homes. We have had our new puppy Izzy almost a month and love and spoil her to death, big thank you to all of the people involved with this great group ❤Debby
My sister fosters through this rescue and I always watched online for a dog. When Lolly showed up I told my sister about her and she went over and got her from her foster mom. My sister flew her up to Minnesota, where she currently lives with her brother Monkey. I could have asked for a better sister for him. They are inserperable and love each other so much! Thank you so much for saving her and all the lives that you have!
I want to thank Texas Chihuahua Rescue for giving me the great opportunity to adopt 6 furbabies!!! They gave me the most amazing experience of love, my furbabies just fill my heart everyday!! Thank you for your hard work, for love and care about the homeless furbabies, God Bless You!!!! ❤
I have had the absolute most remarkable experience with the Texas Chihuahua Rescue foundation and the fantastic people whom work there. I now am the proud mother of 2 beautiful little xolos whom without this organization would likely not have had the opportunity at a second chance. I am glad that there are like minded people out there whom have taken the thought, care and selflessness to protect and nurture those little creatures a lot less fortunate and ensure they find happy, forever homes (I would say furever homes, but that fact that mine do not have hair makes that statement a little odd). I wanted to share some pictures of these lovely little ones, Truffles and Morty. I am so glad that they are now a part of my life.
I too am a client of Texas Chihuahua Rescue and a contributor to this wonderful organization. Almost a year ago our Chihuahua of 16 years passed away on December 4th. My wife and I were not looking to replace our beloved little guy. He was special and unique as with any beloved member of the family, even if they wear fur. One day, after Christmas I was doing a few searches on rescue sites. I came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue (TCR). There was a senior female who lost her human companion and was being fostered by TCR late October, 2015. Many attempts were made to find her a home but she is partially blind, poor hearing and a senior. Looking for a home with no children and someone who could be at home most of the day. Spoke to my wife and we submitted an application, shortly had a reply and then a phone conversation. We were reviewed, to make sure this senior girl would go to a good home. The Foster did not want her going to just any home and we had to meet the foster. She wanted the final decision for the adoption before she turn over her to us. We assured we were perfect and we could provide her (then Bitsy) a good home. We drove to San Antonio, passed A H-R’s (Foster) approval and took (now) Chloe home with us on January 2nd, her new birthday date. Meeting the team was a very pleasant experience. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet several TCR members. It took Chloe a few weeks to adjust to her new home. We just finished building a new home and moved in this past September. Think she likes the new house. In a corner of the Garage floor, it has her paw print when the foundation was poured. Chloe has a comfortable life, great vet care with regular visits. Lots of loving from us and in return she loves us to. Soon, there will be a second adoption from TCR, next week!

Texas Chihuahua Rescue rescues many Chihuahua’s and even takes on the hardest of cases that would break your heart. They have many success stories, save many of these little precious animals that should not have ended up at their Rescue. I will continue to donate and support this group. Their efforts are commendable, hard work that is ongoing every day. I read their posts and follow many of their success stories. They always are looking for people in their area to Foster and if you cannot foster then please donate. This group is worth your hard-earned money, they put it to good use finding these loving Chihuahuas homes. Donate even if a little on a regular basis. Go to their Facebook site and their web site. If you are looking for a Chihuahua and want to give one a good home, look them up.

Always adopt.

Texas Chihuahua Rescue is such a fantastic organization. I was looking to adopt a rescue dog a few months after my darling little dog died a month before his 17th birthday. I found TXCR online and immediately fell in love with a little dog named Blondie. I applied to adopt her. The process was very thorough and pleasant. I live in Canada so it was the Ontario Chapter from whom I adopted my little girl. Transport day was last Saturday. What an incredible experience! I got there early and one of the organizers told me the happiness level was going to skyrocket in the next while. She was so right! The dogs arrived and were gently taken from their crates for a bathroom break. As each little one came through the door there were sounds of joy coming from all the waiting humans. My little girl was one of the last to come in. I was so overjoyed I couldn't help myself and I cried.
This group does such incredible work. The care and organization are top notch. What a wonderful organization. Thank you all so much for the wonderful work you do!!!!
I initially intended to foster a chihuahua with them, but was so smitten I knew after a few days I would be keeping my little chi! TCR was so helpful, informative, and kind during this process. You can really tell they care about saving all of the chihuahuas they can find, which is a lot here in San Antonio! They truly love each and every one of the dogs.
TCR is such a fantastic organization! They rescued both of my babies and they have each added their own kind of happiness to our lives. I cannot imagine my life without them. My first pup was in a foster home until he was about 4 months and our second was only there for 2. But I love that they were loved and not scared in a shelter until the time that we found them. We joke that our girl doesn't know she could have been a street dog and thinks she's a born princess! She sure is our little princess and she is the BEST big sister to our human son. I cannot imagine out home without them. They make us feel whole. And it would not have been possible without the people who stepped in to save them and took the steps to find them loving homes.
We adopted our sweet Lucy (previously Simone) in August. She is so happy, as are we. She was so good when our granddaughter came for a visit. Our experience with this rescue organization was so wonderful. They answered all my questions patiently, as we waited for our Lucy to be ready for our home. Their transport, Peggy, selflessly drove and met us halfway between San Antonio and Fort Worth. We appreciated that so much. I highly recommend this Rescue! :)
We have had our sweet little Pooh Bear for 3 years! He has brought us so much happiness and Is so healthy! Working with Texas Chi Rescue was so easy and they really do care a lot about the new Furever parents! We will be working with them again!
This group of amazing souls is absolutely incredible. They give every ounce of themselves and their time to the sweet dogs they rescue, and they rescue as many dogs as they physically can. No matter what age, or condition a dog may be in, TxCR finds a way to do everything they can to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home them. TxCR is run solely on fosters, volunteers, donations, and huge hearts. I found TxCR at one of their adoption events by accident, and I immediately fell in love with one of their rescue dogs; He is now my Kojo. They were very thorough in checking our adoption application and Kojo's foster mom even came by our house for a visit to make sure our home and our family was a good fit. I don't know many rescues that take the time to check and double check their adopters. That alone spoke volumes to me about TxCR. This group TRULY cares about these animals and their wellbeing, and it shows with everything they do. I am so thankful to them for my sweet Kojo. I am so thankful to know such a great group of people. Thank you TxCR for all you do!!
*Photo is of Kojo and his foster Mom a couple months after we adopted him. We met her so he could give her a gift. Look how genuinely happy he was to see her! So awesome!
I met TXCR valentines day weekend. I woke up that morning and decided I wanted a dog. It just hit me and it felt right. I called Petsmart and they told me that TXCR was setting up for on-site adoptions. I went over there and instantly felt a connection with Arya. Her awesome foster mom Mary O. helped me through the adoption paperwork. After consulting with Tammie and a home visit, I was officially a fur-mom! I am so thankful that TXCR rescued my little Arya. It was fate! Since then I have fostered for TXCR . This rescue is truly wonderful! They strive to save as many lives as possible and work tirelessly to raise awareness about the breed. The application process is simple but they thoroughly vet potential adopters to make sure every dog is finding the perfect home. TXCR pours their heart and soul into their mission. This rescue deserves every amount of recognition and I truly believe their work will prevent unnecessary euthanasia for years to come.
I found this amazing rescue when we decided to add another dog to our family. They were amazing to work with. They had many different dogs to choose from and they took the time to properly screen us and our lifestyle to make sure the dog we chose would be a good fit and find their forever home. I appreciate the fact that my little Mayhem(formerly known as Dixon) had all his shots and was already neutered. The adoption process was very easy to navigate and we couldn't be happier to have Mayhem in our lives. When our two senior chis cross the rainbow bridge we will definitely use this rescue again. I admire the great lengths the volunteers go through to pull chihuahuas out of high kill rescues and find them living homes. They go above and beyond to make sure these babies are taken care of and their commitment to their rescue is one of the things I love the most about them. If we had more rescues like this, so many more dogs would be in homes. This rescue definitely deserves recognition for all that they do.
When I went to meet the wonderful dogs up for adoption I didn't know how I would choose and then when I saw a tiny little girl named Cara (my name is Kara) looking at me I knew I had to have her! We had the same name, it had to be some sort of sign. Cara (now Belle) will be a year in February and she has been the best addition to our family, I can't wait to adopt from them again!
I came across Texas Chihuahua Rescue while donating to a local charity. TCR is an amazing charity, great people taking care of these little dogs. They work endlessly to help these precious dogs. All of their fur babies are well cared for. I foster and have adopted 4 of my 7 little Chihuahua’s. Special thanks to Catherine and Tamie for all the hard work and dedication.

I became a foster Mom for Texas Chihuahua Rescue about 2 and half year now. I’ve always loved animals specially dogs. I’ve always bonded with them; they seem to know I love them and understand them. I am a foster failure (lol). I have adopted 4 of my 7 babies through Texas Chihuahua Rescue. My fur babies have changed my life. I never bored or lonely, they keep me busy and I adore all my babies. I am very impressed with TCR they go beyond in helping these babies find a loving good home.
We adopted our baby, Edgar from TCR and we couldn't be happier. He is the most loving, sweet, and precious puppy we have ever met. We are so lucky to have him in our lives - he makes us so happy. We would recommend Texas Chihuahua Rescue to anyone looking for a new, furry family member!
Every dog that was brought up looked incredibly healthy and well-cared for. We took Edgar to the vet when we got home and he was completely healthy and up-to-date on vaccines, etc. Texas Chihuahua Rescue & God's Dogs Transport takes amazing care of these little guys.
Thank you to Rose, Sundee, Catherine, and everyone else involved in the process!
This rescue was amazing, responsive and helpful. They were amazing every step of the way and made us feel so happy and confident about our choice to adopt. Our fur baby was super well cared for by them and they helped us with all of our questions :) I would recommend them to anyone
i saw a pic of this little guy on your website when he was only 2 weeks old. It was love at first sight! We had to wait 10 weeks to get our hands on him. He is happy, healthy and enjoying his forever home almost as much as we are enjoying him!
WOW what an amazing organization. From the beginning to the end we were very impressed with all. I would like to give a huge shout out to the AMAZING ladies in the transport van. You are truly doing a wonderful thing for these little souls.
Thank you from our entire family for blessing us with our Milton and Cooper
What a wonderful group of people taking care of these little guys. We've adopted on 3 occasions, all a great and smooth experience - and of course wonderful additions to our family. Thank you.
Texas Chihuahua Rescue gave us an amazing experience when Adopting little baby Odin (aka Prince). The volunteers truly are a blessing in answering all our questions and concerns as new dog owners. They were always there in every step of the adoption process and still provides support even to today with baby Odin. Thank you so much for all you've done!
I love fostering for Texas Chihuahua Rescue because it is the most caring wonderful rescue I have been involved with in my 40+ years of doing rescue. They are very organized and concerned about these babies get the complete vetting and care they need before they are placed in approved homes that will be their forever homes. I adopted my Daisy Mae from them after fostering her and her mom and she is a wonderful addition to my little zoo of rescued chihuahuas . She is a breath of fresh air watching her grow up as my others are a bit older abused rescues . Thank you Texas Chihuahua Rescue for letting me be part of your group.
Had several people maybe 4 help me adopt Chelsea, age 2 fawn Papillon. I searched for 9mos. This is a God story. I responded to a lady's add who wanted to give her own dog up for adoption during a time of distress in her life. I prayed and told her she was not going to do this. She thanked me and said, she didn't know how, but she was going to help me find my dog. She also had 30 years experience with this breed, raising and training them. Because she was a member of the Texas Chihuahua Club she had an inside with this rescue to find my dog. I sent her photos of my prior pet who died 2.5 yrs. ago. She found the same smiley face as my dog in this beautiful, intelligent and peaceful dog which is what her represents as people with this name are often described as this. I prayed and asked God for her real name..which I got in prayer that eve. I saw a flash of her coming down my portal from heaven to earth.8/2/15 when Dad died as I asked for my next dog..nearly a year later..The day I cried out to God, that hope deferred makes a heart sick and demanded I have my dog today! That others had found their dog and He was no respecter of persons. That is when this lady from Mansfield contacted me and sent my photos of Chelsea (they had called her Lily). When I looked up Chelsea the meaning is port or seaport and is an Anglo Saxon derivation. ( my portal).. Pretty cool..huh! Everyone I dealt with had such heart and warmth and protected her from being adopted by the wrong person. Tammy brought her half way to me in Temple, TX. half way to San Antonio from Plano, TX. Everyone acted very responsibly, She was totally vetted. I got all the paper work and her rabies and ID tags and shot records for $155 I think. I spent probably up to $400 getting her crate, her bed, leash, harness (got easy care one..that keeps dog from dragging it's owner..highly recommend from PetLand $29.99..Trust me.. as this dog likes to chase rabbits. ) Fromm's chicken and veggie dog food, toy stuffed that squeaks from WAlmart, Oster shampoo with coconut oil, etc. cow's ears to chew on, tartar control toothpaste and learned how to brush her teeth, special wire self-cleaning brush that press a button and fir comes right off the bristles $13 at Petland. My backyard turned in to Ft. Knox to keep her from gong under any rabbit holes.
I have to watch her like a hawk so she doesn't fly out the door. I make sure she walks and runs every day for 2-2.5 miles. Then she is happy to lie down and rest inside later on.
She is totally house broken and never once made a mistake in my home. God bless all of you for all you do.
Emmi Grace was heartworm positive long hair chihuahua with no will to live until she became a part of our family. Thanks to Texas Chihuahua Rescue for giving her a chance to find us! We are in love and so grateful for all these wonderful volunteers do!! It is HARD work!!!!thank you all
Please adopt and rescue- don't buy from breeders
What a great experience! All the volunteers here are super kind, knowledgable and make there selves available. My puppy had to have surgery shortly after I adopted him and not only did this organization cover the cost, but they also kept him over night the day before in order to take him to his appointment since I had to work. This is an amazing organization with great people and they wonderful work for all the dogs. What a blessing.
Thanks
We adopted Mercey from Texas Chihuahua Rescue, it will be a year this July, this is an amazing rescue, they flew Mercy to us, in Ontario Canada. We re-named Mercy, Moxy and there has been a huge love affare with Texas Chihuahua Rescue and our little chi ever since.
The team in Texas are amazing and will move heaven and earth to help each "lost chi" or honorary chi, to a home. The commitment of this Texas Team knows no bounds! Much LOVE
Stand behind the dogs 100% Fully vetted and in most cases, even housebroken! Good mannered dogs that just need a home. Thanks for taking such good care of these dogs until they get adopted. The foster care and vet care is second to none. Highly recommend.
The most amazing rescue out there. The volunteers truly care. The two little doggy girls that we adopted from them have made such a positive impact on our (human) lives. Every day I look at these little fur-kids and feel blessed to have them in our lives. The rescue saves lives and does not give up on dogs just because the dog is a difficult case. I cannot say enough good things about this rescue.
Tyler is the latest addition to our family and arrived in Hamilton, Ontario via the Canadian chapter of Texas Chihuahua Rescue. The volunteers on both sides of the border are amazing. Every story is heartbreaking but these organizations make happy endings possible on a daily basis. Tyler needed knee surgery while in foster care in Canada and the US based group covered the cost. Thanks to the intervention of Texas Chihuahua Rescue, hundreds of these loveable dogs are rescued, receive the necessary medical treatment, fostered and eventually re-homed. We are foster fails and Tyler was a gift to my husband for our 40th wedding anniversary. The traditional gift is ruby but I think it should be replaced by chihuahua.
Love is a four-legged word. Kindness counts.
I recently started fostering for this wonderful organization around October. So far I have been a foster fail bc I fall in love so easy with these precious babies. I have adopted one and so has my mom. I can't say enough wonderful things about Tamie considering these babies are her world. She works tirelessly and will not turn away a chi in need. I mostly admire her for taking on the challenge of the chis who need a little extra TLC. Thank you for serving as an advocate for these little ones and being their voice when no one else will listen.
This is a rescue group with small dogs and large hearts.
My connection with the group is a new one. I am so impressed. Our next dog will come from within their loved and cared for "babies".
To meet the group is to love them and have faith in all their generous efforts.
I have adopted and foster through Texas Chihuahua Rescue . This truly is a RESCUE. TXCR takes in special needs dogs, senior dogs , and nursing mothers. This group rescues the most euthanized breed of dog in south Texas. The works of this rescue are tireless, humbling , and encouraging . The dogs get the absolute best veterinarian care and are so loved with this group. They go above and beyond for these pups. Texas Chihuahua Rescue has changed my life and I am forever grateful.
I originally contacted TX Chi Rescue to adopt one of the dogs they had listed online. I drove to the dogs fosters home to meet her. Unfortunately, it was not a match. After listening to me tell her what I was looking for, the foster brought out another one of her dogs, and it was love at first sight. I adopted him shortly thereafter.
I was so impressed with t the professionalism, organization and care of the dogs that I began fostering for TX Chi Rescue. They have been a dream to work with. I would highly recommend this group to anyone considering fostering or adopting a little chi.
I first met the people of Texas Chihuahua Rescue in June 2015 and have had the honor of being a volunteer with this amazing group ever since. I'm continually impressed and humbled by the tenacity and dedication I witness every single day in spite of the uphill battle inherent to the world of rescue. I'm hooked for life.
I'm a foster mom for this organization.... I absolutely love it! Tamie is wonderful ! Her love for these animals is obvious and infectious! She takes so many in and does so much ! This is an amazing organization..... They take so many sweet animals that are to be put down and give them a second chance at life !
After adopting 2 wonderful dogs from this organization, I became a volunteer Foster a year ago. The leaders and volunteers of TXCR are incredibly hard-working and devoted to the rescue and care of all Chihuahuas. They vet all dogs to ensure they are healthy, and they evaluate potential adopters to make sure they can provide a good home for the dog. This is an awesome network of Chihuahua-lovers, and I highly recommend becoming involved as a volunteer or making monetary donations.
I've been a volunteer foster for Texas Chihuahua Rescue for just over a year. The rescue is comprised of a diversified group of compassionate individuals with the same goal of saving the lives of chihuahuas and chihuahua mixes in Texas. All of the people I have met with this rescue are dedicated to saving the lives of these tiny dogs and working towards a brighter future for them. The rescue is organized and great effort is put into matching dogs and people for a forever fit. Highly recommend adopting or volunteering for this rescue!
I have only volunteered for TCR for a month now and I can already see the heart and dedication this shelter has. Chihuahuas have a special place in my heart and sadly they are one of the most over populated and euthanized dogs in the the US. TCR does all they can to rescue Chihuahuas from all over Texas. They vet the dogs and find them a forever home. They are also very organized and quickly to resound. I love TCR.
I have been a foster volunteer for almost two years, and I am proud to say I have never worked with any group with more heart, dedication, perseverance, and an amazing ability to perform true miracles with these little lives, The leaders of this amazing band of animal lovers, are always on call to address any emergency, ready to take any owner surrender, with no recriminations, pull any chihuahua, or chi mix from any shelter, or any broken baby that others have given up on....these people have a true heart for saving these tiny lives....if you are not in a position to foster or volunteer, please consider donating to help this worthy cause....because love alone is not enough.....
An amazing group of people doing amazing work in San Antonio. They have quietly rid the city of San Antonio of an unwanted over abundance of homeless, injured and dying chihuahua mixes. They are diligent, caring and hard working. They vet, treat and place chihuahuas into loving homes through a network of volunteers, vets, fosters and with pure love and determination. One of the best charities I have ever had the privilege to support.
Texas Chihuahua is an amazing group of caring and compassionate people. This is the best rescue I have ever volunteered for. They do a great job of matching Chihuahuas with fosters that can meet their needs. They are super quick at networking and finding adopters that meet their high expectations. They are with you every step of the way to answer questions and guide you. They make you feel appreciated. I am proud to be part of this rescue family!!!!
