Hi I’m Chico (my foster family has been calling me Astro). I was saved from a local high kill shelter and taken into the Happy Tails Family. I am about 1.5 years old and my foster fam thinks I’m a rat terrier/ chihuahua mix at around 10 pounds. Don’t let my small size fool you I have a big heart!! I love to be pet especially belly rubs but just take your time because I can get nervous around fast movements. I walk well on a leash. I am crate trained and sleep through the night but I’m still working on my potty training (I do great as long as I’m taken outside right when I’m let out of my crate). I would make a great addition to your family if you want more of a homebody/cuddle buddy. My small size makes me a particularly attractive boy! I have lived with kids but due to being a chihuahua, I would prefer a home with older kids!

A home check may be performed when taking the pet home. This is up to the discretion of the rescue founder and may be performed upon her decision. This step will ensure our animals are going into the best possible homes and will never be treated as less than a best friend and companion ever again. We are dedicated to the best possible fit for each animal that comes into our care.

We are 100% foster and volunteer run. Therefore, the first step in meeting one of our adoptable pets will be to submit an adoption application by following the link posted above to either our website or directly to our adoption application. Once an adoption application has been approved, we can set up a meet and greet with the applicant and the animal the applicant is interested in. Please allow 24-72 business hours to receive an answer back about your application, as all of our volunteers and fosters have additional jobs outside of the rescue and use their spare time to provide care to these animals in our program.
Adoption events can also be found posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages located under the name "Happy Tails Canine Rescue". These events are open to the public and do not require an adoption application in advance to meet any of our pets that will be attending.
