About Salerno

Salerno is a male Chihuahua mix puppy, weighing just 1.14 lbs. A true survivor, he came to the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) from a challenging hoarding situation in rural Oklahoma, arriving with his littermates at only 3-4 weeks old. They've been nurtured through bottle feeding and mush meals, and now they are thriving and ready for their forever homes next week. As the smallest in his litter, Salerno is full of personality and adventure. He's playful and eager, always the first to explore and engage with his siblings. Given his tiny size, a home without large dogs or farm animals will be best for him. The pups are anticipated to weigh between 10-15 lbs. when fully grown. The adoption fee for Salerno is $300, which includes neutering, vaccinations, and a microchip. ARF prioritizes finding the perfect fit for each animal and all potential adopters must come to Tulsa to meet him in person. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
