Ohio is a great state to adopt a Chihuahua, with many shelters and rescue groups working to find forever homes for these adorable dogs.
Chihuahuas are one of the most popular breeds in Ohio, with over 1,000 Chihuahua adoptions taking place in the state each year.
If you're looking for a low-maintenance pet, Chihuahuas are a great choice, requiring only short, daily walks and playtime.
They weigh between 2-8 pounds, making them the perfect pet for apartment dwellers or those with limited space.

Chihuahua Rescue
Dogs in Chihuahua Rescue will receive veterinary and behavioral evaluation before being placed in a new home.
These evaluations will include standard immunizations, such as rabies shots, and will help identify any potential health issues or behavioral problems.
In some parts of the country, heartworm is a problem, and each rescue should develop a policy regarding heartworm infected dogs.
Dogs found to pose a danger to human beings will not be placed in a new home, and it's suggested that dogs with an unprovoked bite history not be accepted for rehoming.
Dogs will be spayed or neutered before placement, unless veterinary considerations require that the surgery be postponed.
The medical and behavioral history of each dog will be fully disclosed and explained to potential owners, including any signs of aggression or health issues.
Adoption applicants will be carefully screened to ensure that dogs are placed in suitable environments.
All placements will be done with contracts that stipulate the rescue organization will take the dog back at any time if it can't be kept by the adopter.
