Chi-Chi's Story

Chi-Chi was a local stray saved after being placed on the top of a dumpster with no way to get down - how cruel! When he arrived, he weighed only 4.5lbs and he looked it!<br/><br/>Since being in his foster home with good, nutritious food, receiving appropriate vetting exam, he has double his weight and the transformation is heartwarming and makes every rescuer smile with happy tears! (see photos for his glow-up)!!!!!<br/><br/>He is estimated to be 3-4 years old and weighs approximately 9-10lbs and is still filling out to a healthy weight!<br/><br/>Foster Home Update:<br/><br/>He LOVES women and food (understandable!) is good with other dogs in the home (a Shepherd and another foster puppy) and doesn't care about the resident cat either! He is an 'atypical Chi' that gets comfy and accepts adults in the home and those he is familiar with that do not live with him when allowed to warm up on his terms. He does like to be the apple of your eye and will tell the other pets in the home "mine, mine, mine - go away". He is crate trained too! Kids should be older (no toddlers) and Chihuahua personality 'savvy'!<br/><br/>We recommend training for all our dogs!<br/><br/>Chi-chi’s adoption donation has been reduced to $300 due to a generous donor.<br/><br/>**Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent.<br/><br/>**Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment. Thank you for your interest!<br/><br/>If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (<br/><br/>www.magnificentmutts.org ) No phone calls please, emails only.<br/><br/>Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted.<br/><br/>Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation.<br/><br/>Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application.
