Check out our puppy group photo! These are Ginger’s puppies!
Ginger and her 8 puppies were surrendered to CRT when their family could not take care of them. The puppies are are Bernie, Frank, June, Betty, Alice, Pearl, Daisy and Grace. The puppies were born on Jan 18th, 2025. The puppies were only two weeks old when surrendered, but have thrived in CRT’s care. Thank you to our loyal foster families for caring for Ginger and all her puppies!
The puppies are now weaned, eating on their own and have just completed their first set of puppy vaccinations in early March. They will have round two of vaccinations in early April. Then will have their third round of vaccinations in early May and also get spayed/neutered and microchipped at that time. They will then be ready to be adopted into their forever homes. We are taking applications now.
The puppies were born on January 18, 2025. They all weighed a little over 1 pound at their 6 week vet appointment and continue to grow. We are not sure how large the puppies will get. The Mom is about 12 pounds and we have no idea who the Dad is. We did have a DNA kit donated by a sweet supporter. The DNA results are in! The puppies are 43% Chihuahua, 18% Shih Tzu, 11% Poodle (Toy/Miniature) and 8% Dachshund. They are definitely 100% perfect! The DNA kit projects their fully grown weight to be 9-18 pounds, which aligns with the Mom’s size. The health results show “clear”. The DNA results say they are likely to maintain their floppy ears and have short legs when fully grown. We will be listing each puppy separately, but wanted to share the group photo with you!
The ideal home for each puppy will be one with high energy. They would love to have another young dog (maybe 1-3 years) to play with. Applications will not be considered where the puppies would be an only dog. They need a family who can check on them every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). Because of their love of family and attention, they would love to live with a work-from-home family. There are no children in the foster homes but these puppies love people and we think they would do well with children 10 and older.
The puppies are being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area. Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
The puppies will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. Vet work is scheduled to be completed in mid-May, and they will then be ready for adoption. We are accepting applications now.
This dog is a CRT rescue. Reference checks, adoption contract and $350.00 adoption donation required.
As part of our mission to reduce the number of unwanted and sick dogs, we require that all current pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and taking heart worm prevention. Applications will not be considered if one or more of these requirements are not met.
