Hildie's Story

Sweet. Snuggly. Certified cuddle queen.<br/>🤎 Short-haired Chihuahua | 7 LB | 8 years old<br/>Adoption fee: $500<br/><br/>Hildie’s story is one of pure resilience and love. This tiny 7-pound Chihuahua came into Sunnyside Street Dogs with a gentle heart and an old soul. At 8 years old, she knows exactly what she wants in life—warm laps, soft blankets, tasty treats, and someone who will adore her the way she deserves.<br/><br/>Now living in a caring foster home, Hildie has blossomed into the definition of a velcro pup. She’s calm, affectionate, and happiest when she’s tucked right by your side. Her favorite activities include curling up on your lap, nibbling on her chew toys, and soaking up every bit of love she can get. She’s house trained, polite, and carries that classic Chihuahua charm that makes you fall in love instantly. This sweet 'lil bit fits under your arm, on your hip or on a lap so easy. She is the ideal small, gentle and cuddly companion.<br/><br/>Hildie gets along beautifully with other dogs, is friendly with cats, and fits right into any cozy household. Despite whatever her past may have been, she is trusting, tender, and beyond grateful for companionship. She’s ready to find her forever home—a quiet, loving place where she can be cherished endlessly.<br/><br/>She is:<br/>⭐️ Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed<br/> 🏡 Kennel & potty trained<br/> 🐶 Dog, Cat, and Kid/Baby friendly<br/> 📍located in Houston, TX<br/><br/>Want to meet this sweetheart? 💌 Fill out an application here: <br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SUN/Dog <br/><br/>To view more photos and videos, please visit <br/>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rmN0qLBS7lrjKwW23OeE2R5POD100-_p<br/><br/>To learn more about Sunnyside Street Dogs rescue, please visit <br/>https://sunnysidestreetdogs.org <br/><br/>*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state.

Sunnyside Street Dogs's Adoption Policy
Application is received and reviewed. References will be checked. A home visit in person or on face time will be completed at a mutually convenient time. After the adoption fee paid and contract(s) signed, the dog or puppy can be picked up or transported. Transportation is included in the adoption fee if you live outside of Texas. The availability of the transport company, foster or volunteer transporter, and adopter will determine when the dog unites with their new forever person/people. Pets going on transport will have a health certificate completed by a veterinarian declaring the pet healthy for transport. Read more on transport below. If a dog/puppy goes to their forever home without being spayed or neutered, the adopter needs to sign a sterilization contract - promising they will get their dog/puppy spayed or neutered. Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption. If a dog is adopted out of state, they will arrive to their destination via ground transport, unless the adopter will pick up. We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.
