      Pay the fee. The Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport bases its adoption fee on the age of the dog. They charge a higher fee for younger dogs. The adoption fee is used to cover the expenses your dog incurred while under the care of the Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport, and any money that is left over is used to help provide care for additional dogs.
