Many of our rescue dogs come from shelters or owners who cannot give them the medical care they need. Often the dogs we accept have emergency medical problems such as broken legs, eye injuries, difficult pregnancy, Parvovirus, severe neglect, or need other urgent care. Shelters often contact us to take otherwise healthy dogs, but have temperament and training issues, including shyness, housebreaking problems, and fear of strangers.

We also accept strays and owner released dogs, if space is available in our foster care system. All of our dogs are either spayed or neutered, given basic preventative vaccinations, including rabies. We test for heartworm and keep them on preventative and microchip our rescues. We also provide dental care for older dogs that have serious oral problems.

Enchantment Chihuahua Rescue is committed to finding appropriate homes for every dog we accept. That requires that we take applications from interested families. We ask for details about the family, the home, past pets, pet owner experience, and expectations of a new pet. We also require personal references (other than family members) and a veterinary reference. Though the process may seem intrusive, it is our primary concern to match each of our dogs with a suitable home and your answers will help us achieve that goal.

Our dogs are cared for in foster homes, we do not have a kennel facility that you can visit. Foster families provide loving care to socialize, housetrain and rehabilitate injured dogs in their homes.
