Adopt a Chihuahua in Virginia

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.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
