There are many sites on the Internet that offer Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico. I will concentrate on two of the best resources that I have come across in my research that will make it easy for you to find Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico. It is important to know a little about the breed before you proceed with the adoption process.

The Chihuahua is a graceful, alert dog with terrier-like qualities. It’s clannish, meaning it likes other Chihuahuas and generally does not like other breeds. It weighs less than 6 pounds making it an excellent indoor pet for apartment dwellers. It comes in many colors with a smooth coat and a long coat variety. It is hardy and travels well making it a good companion dog. It is a feisty dog and likes to walk and play.

The first site I recommend that has Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico is Quixote Humane at www.quixotehumane.org. Quixote Humane, Inc. is a non-profit New Mexico Corporation founded in February 2001. It is approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) qualified tax-exempt organization. There are currently approximately 70 Chihuahuas listed on its website.

Quixote Humane doesn’t actually house Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico but instead works closely with local animal shelters to get its Chihuahuas. All of its Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico are housed in volunteer family homes until they are permanently adopted. The Quixote Humane Chihuahuas available for adoption in New Mexico have had full veterinarian checks, been spayed or neutered, and have current shots, rabies tags, and microchips.

The second site I recommend that has Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico is Petfinder at www.petfinder.com. Petfinder has a searchable on-line database of animals located all across the US, Canada, and Mexico that need homes. Petfinder shows only animals from non-profit organizations. On their site there are hundreds of Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico. It is a little tricky to navigate the Petfinder site but here is how you make a specific search for Chihuahuas.

On the home page at www.petfinder.com you will see a form box on the left side of the page named “Search for a Pet”. Choose “dog” in the “Animal” field. The next box will be named “Breed  [See All]“. Click on “[See All]” and scroll down to Chihuahuas and click on the name and a screen will appear asking for your location. For example, if you live in Taos use 87571 and click next. You will then see a screen with many Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico. Click on the Chihuahua picture and you can get all the specifics about the dog, including shelter information, contact information, etc.

In this article I have provided you with the best sources on the Internet to begin your search for Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico. The Chihuahua is a cute little dog and makes a great pet. As always, when you adopt a dog you are saving one from being euthanized and therefore are providing a great humanitarian act. Good luck on your search for Chihuahuas for adoption in New Mexico.
