Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Cha Cha #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Cha Cha | 6-month-old Chihuahua mix | Tiny speed demon with a hug obsession Cha Cha is a 6-month-old, 13-pound cream-colored Chihuahua mix who packs a whole lot of personality into a tiny, speedy body. This girl is FAST—possibly the fastest foster her family has ever had—and loves to zip around the yard in joyful bursts before crashing into classic puppy mode: go-go-go, then sleep-sleep-sleep. She’s playful, sweet, affectionate, and absolutely lives for giving hugs and kisses. If you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised if her little head pops up between your legs asking to be picked up for some snuggle time. Cha Cha does wonderfully with other dogs and would especially love a home with a playful pup who enjoys wrestling and being silly. She’s had positive interactions with every dog she’s met and even ignores cats. While she hasn’t met children yet, her gentle, loving nature suggests she’d do just fine with kids of all ages. She has no preference when it comes to people—she loves everyone equally. She’s still working on her training, including house manners and leash skills. She may not have had much leash experience before, but she’s already off to a great start—she doesn’t pull or react, just moves in her own silly, zig-zagging way. With a little consistency, she’ll pick things up quickly—she’s a smart girl, especially when food, toys, or affection are involved. She’s not currently crate trained, but she happily hops into one for meals without any fuss. Cha Cha has done great when left home alone for 4–6 hours with other dogs around and has proven to be a perfect, non-destructive angel. She enjoys toys, especially stuffed ones she can carry around, and loves chewing on bones. Her energy level is a nice balance—she’ll benefit from regular playtime and activity, but she doesn’t need extreme exercise to be happy. Cha Cha was surrendered when her previous home’s older dog wasn’t a fan of her puppy energy, but she’s ready to bring that joyful spirit into a home that will embrace it. With a little continued training and a lot of love, she’s going to make an incredibly fun and devoted companion. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $475 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you.
