Dustin and 2 siblings were turned in to us so we could find them a home. Their mom was a Chihuahua and dad was a Dachshund. Their est dob is the middle of February 2011. Dustin already knows how to use a doggy door to go outside to potty. He is also puppy pad trained. He is fine in a crate but prefers to be sleeping next to you on the coach. He loves playing with balls and squeaky toys. He does not have the Chihuahua shakes and loves enjoys attention from everyone. He ignores the cats in his foster home. He loves running and playing with the other dogs in his foster home, even the 70 lb Chow mix.  Please contact Vicky at AARF@Embarqmail.com for more information about this puppy or to schedule a meet and greet.

The adoption fee is $200 which includes vet check, vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a $10.99 fee to Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip. The rabies and spay/neuter will be done at the same time by our vet once they are 4 months old and billed to us.

There is a $50 deposit on all puppies that have not been fixed yet. Once you provide us with proof of spay/neuter and rabies, you will receive your deposit back or we can send you a receipt to deduct from your taxes as a donation. It is a Class C Misdemeanor in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.

You can apply online by clicking on Application. Once your application has been approved, we can schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption days.

Thank you for considering a rescue!
