Adopt a Chihuahua in North Carolina

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.

North Carolina has one of the largest rescue dog populations in the country, with high-need rural shelters across the state. Active organizations in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville partner with rescues nationwide for transport. A rescued North Carolina dog often comes from a high-volume rural shelter.
