Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc.

Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. Chihuahua Rescue Indiana is an all volunteer rescue with fosters in Indianapolis and surrounding areas. We are a 501c3 Public Charity!

All our pets live in foster homes, we don't have a separate kennel. We are listed on Guidestar. Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc. is an all volunteer rescue dedicated to the rescue, care, adoption, transport, and education of the Chihuahua/Chihuahua mix breed. We believe all Chihuahuas deserve to be in a loving and healthy environment. Donations are always accepted and needed, as well as foster homes

. We do not have a central shelter where our dogs are housed. Instead they are all in temporary foster homes. Donations are tax deductible and allow us to care for the dozens of dogs we take into rescue each year. Any denomination is greatly appreciated.

Meet Peep 💙

Peep is a sweet, gentle senior around 11 years old who’s looking for a soft place to land. He came into rescue after his previous owners attempted to have him euthanized simply because he wasn’t getting along with a new dog. Thankfully, the shelter saw there was no medical reason and reached out to give him a second chance.

Needless to say, Peep’s world was turned completely upside down. The stress caused some tummy troubles at first, but after a full vet check and lab work, everything came back normal. With time, care, and a loving foster home, he’s settled in beautifully—his tummy issues have resolved, and he’s back to eating, drinking, and enjoying life.

Peep recently had 3 teeth extracted and was already missing a few, but he’s recovering well and feeling much better. Despite everything he’s been through, he remains incredibly sweet and easygoing. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to relax and spend time with his people.

He’s currently living with two young children and a 45lb dog and is doing great with both. Peep is crate trained, housebroken, and truly just wants a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will happily keep you company and ask for nothing more than love and a cozy spot to rest, Peep might be your perfect match. 🐾

Apply to give this deserving boy the happy ending he’s been waiting for.

Meet Izzy 💛

Izzy is a sweet, spunky 2-year-old girl who is ready to find her forever home. Due to her owner facing personal health challenges, the difficult decision was made to surrender Izzy so she could get the love and stability she deserves.

Izzy is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and microchipped—she’s all set to join her new family! She’s incredibly friendly and loves meeting new people, even if she likes to announce her excitement with a little extra enthusiasm.

She does well on a leash and absolutely thrives in a home with a fenced backyard where she can explore and soak up the sunshine. One of Izzy’s favorite things in the world? Kids! She is completely obsessed with the children in her foster home and loves following them around, playing, and being part of the fun.

Izzy also has a calm, cuddly side. When she’s not playing, you can find her happily snuggled up in her bed or crate enjoying some quiet time. She gets along well with other dogs after a proper introduction and does great with kids of all ages.

If you’re looking for a dog who is sweet, playful, snuggly, and full of love, Izzy might just be your perfect match. 🐾

I.just saw this posted in response to someone looking to rehome 2 dogs. This sums it up. Why you DO NOT give pets away, if a shelter or Rescue isn't able to take the pet at the moment be patient. Please, its worth your pets safety to wait.
