Chihuahua Rescue & Transport (CRT) is a foster-based rescue group that places Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes in approved homes. Our purpose is to extend public education and awareness regarding overpopulation, abuse, neglect, importance of spaying/neutering, and the tragic, high rates of Chihuahua abandonment and shelter euthanasia. We have placed thousands of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes in approved homes since 1996. CRT requires an application, vet check, reference check and home visit for each adopter.

$200 and up

Adoption Fees

$300 is the average vet bill per dog.
$30 is our average transportation bill.
$20 is our average monthly drug cost per dog.

$200 is our base fee and it goes up for puppies and special dogs. That though is not a lot of money to adopt when you consider all expenses we put towards our dogs. Most of our dogs come to us with medical issues or have not been spayed or neutered. We do all of that before we make our dogs available to be adopted.

We would not be able to function as an organization without the generosity of our donors. Our adoption fees don't come close to covering the veterinarian fees for some of our dogs. We often get dogs that are victims of horders and have had no vet care their entire lives.
