Hardy is a smooth coat Chihuahua, he is a very sweet boy that is submissive with people. He is great with dogs and he LOVES to be carried. This precious boy is pretty quiet and is not a big barker, he is crate trained but will need to learn housetraining. He is a petite guy weighing only 4 1/2 lbs, so we prefer children in the home be 10 years or older for his safety. He is about to celebrate his birthday on 3/24 as he turns 1 year old. If you are looking for a little companion that you could take with you, little Hardy is your guy. *This is an Out Of Town listing.

Start by filling out our online application (copy and paste the following link) https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/dog Once submitted, we’ll review it and reach out to approved applicants by phone or email.

All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved. WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks. We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019. ***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. *** We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents
