Adopt a Chihuahua in Rhode Island

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.

Rhode Island's rescue dog community is small and runs heavily on transport from Southern states. Organizations in Providence and across the state partner with high-volume shelters elsewhere. A rescued Rhode Island dog has typically traveled north through one of these networks.
