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. Please Opt to Adopt…Spay/Neuter —> Save Lives

Most in Need

Become a Best Friend. Some of our dogs need a best friend. These would be ones that are forever fosters, on medications, hard to adopt, have special needs, extra funds needed, etc. Won’t you consider making a donation to help one of these Chihuahuas? Once you donate any amount as a best friend your name will be listed on their profile page as a donor.

$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.
Free
Volunteer
  • You get to help get our dogs adopted
  • It will make your life happier
  • Anything you can do will help
We always in need of volunteers. Please reach out to us or fill out an volunteer application.
$$$
Donations
  • You can donate in memory or in honor of someone.
  • No donation is too small
  • Your donations are going to a valuable cause
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.

  • Say hello to Scooter, one of our new fosters!  This handsome, sweet, two year old boy is one of those dogs you instantly fall in love with!  He came to CRT through the Houston SPCA.  He was found as a stray.

Scooter has an old injury on one of his front legs.  His elbow was dislocated and his wrist was broken in several places.  He uses that leg a little, mostly for balance. CRT took Scooter to see an orthopedic specialist and the prognosis was that there isn’t really anything that can be done because it is an old injury.  Since he does use it, they recommended to leave it as is for now.  Another alternative may need to be considered down the road.  Scooter’s forever home will need to monitor him to make sure there is no jumping from the sofa, chairs, beds, etc. as that may re-injure his leg.

Scooter gets along great with the other small dogs in his foster home. He loves to play and tumble with them. He also loves toys and to chew on Nylabones. Scooter is a typical fun loving dog! He would love to have another dog in his forever home to play with.

Scooter loves his people! He has a terrific personality and will make you smile every day! He loves to cuddle and be loved on. He will welcome your house guests with a wagging tail!

Scooter is almost completely potty trained. Sometimes the boys needs a little extra work and Scooter is no exception! He is also crate trained. Scooter rides great in a car and would love to go on family trips with his new family.

Scooter has a long, loving life ahead of him. He weighs a perfect six pounds. His new family will want to keep him at that weight, as any additional weight would add extra stress to his leg.  Also, because of Scooter’s leg situation, we recommend an all adult home. (He loves children, but rough play would not be good for Scooter). Scooter is being fostered in the DFW (Texas) area. If this sweet guy sounds like the right fit for your home, our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
  • 🌸 Meet special, beautiful, sweet Gracie...
Gracie was found in a ditch on the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere in Alabama. A family was taking someone to the airport and saw her on the way to the airport.  On the way back, she was still there with another dog but it ran away when they stopped.  They noticed that this little dog was blind and thus her name Gracie because only by the grace of God, she wasn't hit by a car while they were gone. CRT was contacted to please help her.  How could we say no? 🌟 Please SHARE to help Gracie get a home.
Gracie is approximately 10 yrs old and weighs 4 lbs.
She is legally blind but we think she can see changes in light. She is very sweet and just wants to be with you.
If let out enough, we believe that she is house trained.
She is spayed, UTD on shots and on HW preventative.
Reference checks and a home visit are required so she can only be adopted in NC/SC, VA, MD and GA.  If you have any questions, please contact carolinascoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com
If you would like to apply to meet and perhaps adopt Gracie, apply here ... http://chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
🌟 Remember to SHARE...Thank you 🐾❤️

  • Introducing Billy! This adorable puppy is about 3 months old and 3 pounds and will steal your heart! He has a wonderful personality – so playful and happy. Billy gets along great with other dogs, loves toys and loves people! He is working on potty training.

Billy is scheduled to have all vet work completed in late January and will be ready for adoption about February 1st. We are taking applications now.

We think Billy will be 5 pounds or less when fully grown. Due to his small size, we recommend an all adult home or home with older children (teens). Billy is being fostered in the DFW (Texas) area. If this sweet guy sounds like the right fit for your home, our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
