About This Dog for Adoption

Betty's ideal home

Betty and Buttons are a pair of adorable little 8 year old Chihuahuas looking to find their forever home together. They are looking for a more chilled out home where they can take things at a slower pace and have a lap to snooze on, they really appreciate human company so would like to have someone at home with them for most of the day. They could live with dog savvy secondary school aged children who understand that they appreciate gentle handling and do not always want to be picked up and carried. At night time Betty and Buttons settle well and sleep in their own bed in the foster carers bedroom. They could share their home with another dog pending successful meets and could live with a dog savvy cat as Betty initially was more interested in the foster carers cat and barked at her and would have tried to chase but they did settle down well together.

Could you be Betty's perfect match?

Betty can be a little bit more timid and is gradually starting to enjoy pets and snuggles as she grows more in confidence. She will try and burrow herself into a blanket or on someone's lap for a snooze and likes working at a puzzle mat with food in it. Housetraining is still a work in progress but with regular trips to the garden she is making some improvements. Betty has a medical condition with her heart which currently does not require any medication, just monitoring. If you want to find out any more about this condition please contact the team at Ballymena Rehoming Centre. If you are interested in offering Betty and Buttons their forever home together please submit an adoption application and include either Betty or Buttons as a 'Favourite' dog. You only need to fill in one application to register your interest in rehoming both dogs. Thank you!

Chihuahua Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Chihuahua.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 8 weeks, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped
Review and verify any documents, such as KC registration paperwork where applicable

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".
Seller asks to immediately switch to communication off the Chihuahua Owners website
Seller uses a different phone number to the one listed on the website - especially if that phone number is in one of the advert images

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
