If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact.

If you think all little dogs are nervous, shy, or snippy, you have not met Aye Chihuahua. This darling little lady is all snuggles, all kisses, all the time. A lover of laps, this little mama is a true cuddle bug who loves everyone she meets, including all people, kids, other dogs, and even cats. An outgoing girl, Aye Chihuahua has a tail wag for everyone she meets and will quickly jump into your arms and find her way into your heart. Aye Chihuahua is approximately 18 months old and she weighs around 11 pounds. The perfect size for cuddling! Aye Chihuahua loves to sleep in bed with her people at night, and will wiggle her way under the covers to snuggle right next to you. She adores sitting on your lap on the couch at night while you watch TV. This cutie patootie has a very mild skin allergy to fillers found in cheap grocery store kibble, so she would like a home to feed her a high quality grain-free kibble that you can get at any Petco/Petsmart. Given how little an 11 pound dog eats, this should not be a noteworthy expense at all. We think she's well worth it! If your lap is lonesome and needs a loving little pooch, please fill out an adoption application today! Aye Chihuahua is fostered in Dixon, IL and would love to meet you! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm. All dogs have a $150 adoption fee. If you are interested in meeting or adopting this dog, please complete an adoption application at www.safehousepets.org/adopt and a volunteer will contact you promptly.

While we try to keep our animal listings up-to-date online, sometimes the age range may be labelled incorrectly. Please don't hesitate to contact us for the most up-to-date information on a particular cat.  Our cats are shown by appointment - we are a foster based rescue and so we don't have a location with set hours.

If you are interested in adopting or would like to meet our cats, please fill out our adoption application online at www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption and a volunteer will contact you promptly.
