Ace's Story

Hi, Ace!<br/><br/>Ace is a 4 pound, 5 year old male chihuahua searching for his perfect forever home. Ace is white and red and has the cutest big furry ears.This tiny little man is a love bug if given time to warm up. He needs a home that will be patient with him, and if they do they will be rewarded with the best little snuggle bug ever.<br/><br/>Ace loves his people, you just need to let him approach you on his own terms! When he arrived at his current foster home, his foster mom set his crate down and opened the door and allowed him to come out on his own. Within five minutes, Ace was in her arms. Intake and the vet’s office were different stories; he tried to nip and bite everyone, but those times he was not allowed time to decide to trust those people around him. If you give him the time he needs, he’s a sweet snuggle bug! Ace gets along with all of the dogs in his foster home. He will follow his person around, jump into bed with them, and just generally acts like a goober to get all of the love he can! Ace tends to bark at random sounds like a typical chihuahua. We would not recommend Ace go to a home with younger kids as every introduction with Ace needs to be done the same way.<br/><br/>Ace HATES being left alone. If you leave him alone in a room all by himself, he howls. If you leave him with other dogs or take him with you, he’s a happy little camper.<br/><br/>Due to major dental issues Ace had originally, Ace eats a bit awkwardly. For a while he could only eat wet food soaked with water. <br/><br/>He is almost fully house trained, with the occasional marking incident when a new foster is introduced. Otherwise, he happily goes outside to take care of business and uses pee pads if needed.<br/><br/>Ace has had a dental and is neutered. He is fully vetted and up to date on his vaccinations. He is heartworm negative and takes monthly heartworm prevention. Ace is also microchipped.<br/><br/>Ace’s adoption donation is $300. <br/><br/>If you are interested in the above dog, please do not email us and tell us that you are interested, but submit an adoption application. The link for the application is below.<br/><br/>To submit an application go here: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/<br/><br/>An application must be submitted and approved before a meet-n-greet can be scheduled.<br/><br/>Your current dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered unless a veterinarian has determined that your current pet(s) should not be fixed due to medical reasons. They must also be up-to-date on shots and on HW preventative.<br/><br/>Reference checks and a home visit are required so SE dogs can only be adopted in NC/SC, VA, TN, AL, MD and GA.
