Belle - Puppy - Coming Late March

This dog is being fostered in Dallas TX and must be adopted within the Dallas or North Central Texas area.<br/><br/>NAME: Belle<br/>GENDER: Female (Will be Spayed)<br/>AGE: About 8 Weeks (as of Mid January)<br/>WEIGHT: About 2 pounds (Still Growing)<br/>DOGS/CATS: Gets along great with other small dogs, No to large dogs, Unknown with cats<br/>CHILDREN: Should be great with older, mature children (10 and older)<br/>AVAILABILITY: Late March / Early April<br/><br/>Meet our newest puppy – Belle.<br/><br/>On Monday Dec 1st, Chihuahua Rescue & Transport received an emergency call for help from a Good Samaritan trying to find a safe place for a neighbor’s Chihuahuas – a mom with 4 one-week-old puppies and another female Chihuahua. All were living in the backyard with no shelter from rain or frigid temps. The mom and puppies were confined in a small wire kennel.<br/><br/>The owners were unwilling to bring the Chihuahua family inside. They informed the neighbor that they would be leaving the country by the end of this week and had no plan for their dogs other than to leave them behind. They told her if she could find a place for their dogs, they would happily surrender them. Urgently, she reached out to us, “They’re freezing. They won’t make it if someone doesn’t come now.” We immediately drove to rescue the family and a few hours later they were safe in a CRT foster home. We have the entire family in CRT foster homes and we have begun their vet work: Clara (Mom) and puppies Belle, Cindy Lou, Hermie and Zuzu!<br/><br/>Belle is delightful. She gets along well with the small dogs in her foster home. She will wrestle and play every day. She also loves toys!<br/><br/>Belle loves her foster family. When she is not busy playing she runs over (at full speed) and crawls up on your lap looking for belly rubs and love. Due to her tiny size, we recommend homes with a wooden fence only (she would be able to get out of a wrought iron or chain link fence).<br/><br/>The vet estimates that Belle is about 8 weeks old (as of mid-January). She weighs about 2 pounds and will continue to grow. Her Mom (Clara) is about 7 pounds so we estimate that these puppies will be about 5 – 7 pounds when fully grown. Note we have no idea who the Dad is. Belle has a beautiful reddish brown coat.<br/><br/>These puppies are very smart. Due to their vaccination status, we are currently training them to potty on puppy pads. At night, Belle sleeps in a dog bed in an ex-pen with her sister Zuzu. Due to her vaccination status, we have not begun to train her on a harness and leash yet.<br/><br/>Belle’s ideal home will be one with a high activity level. She would love to have another small dog (maybe 1 – 4 years old) to play with. Applications will not be considered where she will be the only dog. Belle will need a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). She would be great in a home where there’s a great deal of activity and people were home a lot. Belle does not bark much at this age. Due to her tiny size, we recommend a home with small dogs only. There are no children in her foster home, but she loves people and we think she will do well with children 10 and older.<br/><br/>We adore this little girl, and know there is a perfect family out there for her. If you love to have fun and then cuddle, Belle wants to be your BFF. Her vet work will be completed in late March, and she will be ready for her forever home at that time. We are accepting applications now.<br/><br/>These puppies are being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area. Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/ application submits correctly, the system will send you a copy. If you do not receive a copy into your email que, it did not submit. Feel free to email us at DFWCoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com if you need help with the application.<br/><br/>Belle will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on shots, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. Vet work is scheduled to be completed late March, and they will then be ready for adoption. We are accepting applications now.<br/><br/>These puppies are a CRT rescue. Reference checks, adoption contract and $350.00 adoption donation required.<br/><br/>As part of our mission to reduce the number of unwanted and sick dogs, we require that all current pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and taking heart worm prevention. Applications will not be considered if one or more of these requirements are not met.<br/><br/>After filling out an adoption application (found at http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/), please email DFWCoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com if you are interested in this dog.
