How to Rescue a Chihuahua in NY

Chihuahuas are far more common than many other small dogs and can often be found in rescue groups for adoption. Rescuing a Chihuahua is admirable because you are giving a dog a home that desperately needs one. It may require a little homework to rescue a Chihuahua in NY, but it is entirely possible. Chihuahua adoption is a great way to add to your family without the extensive grooming maintenance that would be required for a larger dog. Additionally, Chihuahuas make excellent pets for small homes or apartments as they do not require a lot of space.
