Our Story
We rehome Chihuahua's that have been surrendered for whatever circumstance. Some of the Chihuahua's have lived in cages or pens, and have not been part of a family or been a pet prior to rehoming, our Chihuahua's will need some form of integration to learn to become part of a family environment, and therefore we only consider loving patient knowledgeable families that is willing to commit to their on going integration. We do not have a shelter, all our dogs are fostered at loving homes where they can receive love and attention to aid in rehabilitation. All Chihuahua's will be sterilised, microchipped & vaccinated before rehoming.

If we receive more than one application for a specific Chihuahua that is approved and suitable, we will advise on a deadline and make a collective decision by the directors on the most suitable home for the specific applied for Chihuahua. Other suitable options will be suggested in the event of the applicant not being chosen. 9. In the case of CASA not having a suitable rescue for an approved home, they will be added to a waiting list and notified as we receive Chihuahuas into our care. 10. Once the adoption is approved, we will forward the applicant an Adoption Contract which must be signed and returned to us with proof of payment. 11. Adoption fee for an Adult Chihuahua is R1100.00 and a puppy R1800.00 (Puppy adoption fees may be adjusted and remains at the directors discretion) 12.

Rules: a) We do not generally adopt Chihuahuas into families with Power breeds, unless they are willing to have them evaluated by a registered Animal behaviourist and the report submitted with the application. b) We do not adopt our Chihuahuas into homes where the current dogs are not sterilized and vaccinations up to date. c) We do not adopt Chihuahuas into homes where they sleep outside, as all Chihuahuas are lap dogs and have to be part of the family at all times. d) Chihuahuas are predominantly small and delicate, which does not make them suitable for young children or toddlers. 📷
