PROS: Most rescue organizations will have already spayed or neutered your chihuahua, and have administered all up to date shots with a vet exam. You'll already know exactly what you're in for when you adopt this chihuahua, because an evaluation is made during the foster care period. There are a wide variety of individuals to choose from. Some of these chis are quite young and very healthy, and would have no problems being introduced to a home with other animals & children. Others have special needs, which can be social or medical. Visit the linked sites for more information. You'll need to send in an application to enter the process.
CONS: Your chihuahua may have been abused, or neglected. It may also have health concerns. You have to be a very special and caring person to provide this type of dog with the love and support (through PATIENCE) he or she needs to be able to feel love the way every pet should.
