More About Agape

Agape, or “Love,” is going to quickly become someone’s precious baby girl! She is a 2 years old long-haired Chihuahua who was rescued from a puppy mill in Nebraska. Agape weighs 6 pounds and is a cuddly, loving, gorgeous sweetheart. Her long coat is a beautiful shade of strawberry-blonde and is soft and fabulous. Agape is fit and active, and is quickly learning to potty outside. We’re not sure if she can bark, but with her sweet temperament it is doubtful she will feel the need to bark at much of anything. Agape is friendly to everyone, but she is a very small dog and will need a home with no small children. She could join a family with dogs and/or cats, or she could be an only dog with a stay-at-home human. Agape cries softly when she is kenneled (can you blame her!), so her new family will need to have a lot of time to spend with her at first to reassure her and finish her potty-training.

UPDATE: Agape is starting to come out of her shell, and appears to be a little bit protective of her time with her people. She spends most of her time cuddled on a person, following a person, or staring at her people’s faces. When she jumps down to the floor on her own, we take her outside and she usually potties. Stay tuned for more updates.

Agape is spayed, up to date on shots, de-wormed, heart worm tested, frontlined, and micro-chipped. Her adoption fee is $350.

  • You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website.

  • Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philisophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, we must charge it.

  • We are offering a microchip placement for your resident dog for small donation to our rescue

  • Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes.
    Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.

  • You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request


Home without children (< 5 yrs old)

Agape is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
