About Wyatt

**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics. Meet Wyatt, a male Chihuahua mix, 2 years old, 13 lbs. Wyatt is very sweet and good with other dogs. He is looking for his forever home. Our adoption clinics are held one Saturday a month at our facility in Schenectady on John Street, located directly behind Boulevard Bowl (Erie Boulevard) from 10 am to 12 pm (directions are on our website). We require an approved application before we consider anyone for an adoption - so filling out the application is your first step. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email invitation to attend an adoption event. Different dogs and puppies go up for adoption EVERY WEEK so please feel free to visit the site and click on the Petfinder link for updates as we are adopting dogs out in between adoption events. Puppies and dogs up to 2 years old are $395. Dogs over 2 years old are $295. 100% of the adoption fees go to help us save more dogs.

About Chihuahua Dogs

Chihuahuas are pint-sized dogs with larger-than-life personalities. These saucy, confident little companions are fiercely loyal to their owners and surprisingly bold for their tiny stature. Their expressive eyes and quirky personalities make them endlessly entertaining.

Adopting a Chihuahua means gaining a portable, devoted companion who'll bond deeply with you. They're perfect for apartment living and travel, and their longevity means many years of companionship. With proper socialization, Chihuahuas are charming, affectionate little dogs who steal hearts wherever they go.

Adopting in Albany, NY

Albany's role as New York's capital and its position along the Hudson River make it a culturally rich city for pet adoption. Local shelters and rescue organizations serve the Capital District with many loving animals looking for homes in this historic community.

With Washington Park, the Corning Preserve riverfront trail, and the Pine Bush Preserve's unique ecosystem, Albany gives adopted pets varied outdoor experiences. The city's walkable neighborhoods and four distinct seasons keep life interesting for pets and owners alike.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 32°F

Dec – Feb

Heavy snow and bitter cold define Albany winters. Pets need insulated coats and paw protection from salt and ice. The Corning Preserve trail may be snow-packed but remains popular with dog walkers on cleared sections.

Spring

30°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring arrives slowly with mud season making some trails messy through April. Washington Park tulip season in May is a highlight for neighborhood walks. Watch for seasonal flooding near the Hudson River.

Summer

58°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid but generally manageable for pets. The Pine Bush Preserve offers unique sand-plain habitat walks. Carry water and avoid midday heat on exposed trails. Evening walks along the river are pleasant.
