How can I get a tea cup chihuahua from an organization that rescues dogs?

There are many Chihuahua rescues throughout the United States, and a generic site such as adoptapet.com is a good place to start to find a rescue near you. Most rescues require potential adopters to fill out an application and often to agree to a home visit.

In recent years, Chihuahuas have accounted for up to 30% of some California animal rescues, which many blame on their ubiquity in pop culture. Because of this, many rescues have plenty of Chihuahuas to choose from. Adoptapet.com reminds us that Chihuahuas do not end up in shelters because they are bad dogs, but because of unfortunate circumstances, and that it is very possible for someone to find a new best friend at a rescue.
