Sara's Story

Meet Sara! We actually call her Sister Sara... when she was a little puppy, her markings on her face made it look like she had a perfect cross right between her eyes and down her nose. Sara is up for adoption because her 92-year old human momma recently passed away. Sara is 8 years old and weighs just under 8 pounds. She's super shy at first but once she warms up to you, she's all play and cuddles. She has some typical chihuahua traits of shaking and barking when she's scared and can be a bit nippy if her boundaries aren't respected. That's why we don't recommend her for a home with small /young children. She would thrive in a more active home, with or without another doggie. She has lived with a cat and does well with that. She is spayed and current on all her vaccines, as well as flea & tick and heart worm prevention.

Orphan Annie's Neonatal Rescue's Adoption Policy

Potential Adopters must first submit a written application. A member of our team does a preliminary check of the application for any red flags such as pet allergies or no permission to have pets with renters. We then call references, vet practices for insight on the potential adopter. We determine if the animal they are interested in will be a good fit for their life and their environment. We then set up in person meet and greets. We do not do same day adoptions at adoption events. We must have time to properly evaluate the application. We do not do meet and greets without an approved adopter. If the meet goes well, and the animal is fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and healthy, they can take the animal after fee is paid and contract is signed.

Our Mission
