Story

Hi, I'm Chancey! Thanks for checking me out! I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Patches

Chihuahua

Female, 4 yrs

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Patches Patches is a cute, tan and white Chihuahua Mix, estimated to be about 2 years old, weighing 15 lbs. She is very cute, and good with most other dogs but sometimes is selective about her friends; she was confiscated along with several other dogs, ended up in a downstate animal control, and finally found her way to BAARK. Patches is well behaved, affectionate , an overall nice girl. However she has many traits typical of a Chihuahua….can be dog selective, can be bossy with other dogs, and will not back down if another dog challenges her. So, if there is another dog(s) in the household, he or she should be mellow and laid-back. While affectionate, Patches is not fond of cuddling. She’s an independent spirit and prefers to do her own thing. She will surely make a great companion for adults familiar with the breed and able to appreciate the Chihuahua personality. Patches is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in adding this independent spirit to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Colleen

Chihuahua

Female, 6 yrs 2 mos

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Colleen Colleen is a tiny Chihuahua, weighing in at about 6 lbs and estimated to be 6 years old. She was found along with quite a few other dogs left in a home after their mom was taken to the hospital, then died. We were able to take Colleen, her sister and her brother, all Chihuahuas. Colleen is quiet, and pretty passive; she would prefer a quiet home. She is very sweet and friendly. She enjoys spending time in her crate with the door open, observing surrounding activities. She is ok with other small dogs, not particularly playful, but more as a companion. An ideal adopter for Colleen is one who is very experienced with such tiny dogs and the dangers they could face. For example, in a fenced yard, if hawks or owls are overhead….such a tiny pup could make a nice meal. And, even though that fenced yard appears secure for a normal dog, it may not be so, for a such a small dog as Colleen. If you enjoy hiking or long walks…or dog parks…Colleen would not be your best choice of dog. She’s in good shape but she is so small that she’s naturally fragile. Her ideal life would be lounging, maybe an occasional ride in a doggy-stroller, and just being with her special person. While in overall good health. Colleen has a heart murmur and, as recommended by our vet, is taking Vetmedin (cost is ~$1.00/day) to ensure she’s on top of her game. She also takes glucosamine-chondroitin (Dasuquin). Colleen is up to date on all vaccinations. Heartworm tested and on heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you may be interested in adding Colleen to your family, please email BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com for more information and an adoption application. Note that BAARK is located in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, and adopts local to our area.
