Adopt a Chihuahua in District of Columbia

Chihuahuas are bold, confident, and fiercely loyal little dogs. They're one of the most common small breeds in rescue, sometimes surrendered due to behavioral issues that stem from lack of training. A rescued Chihuahua can be an incredibly devoted companion.

Washington DC's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the District and immediate suburbs. Most DC rescues transport dogs from rural Southern shelters where euthanasia rates are higher. A rescued DC dog has typically traveled from another state to reach its new home.
