Adopt a Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat)

Little Canella is all smiles and wiggles! Her red coat is about the softest I've ever petted, and she often gets oohs and awws when other people pet her.

This sweetie came to us with some fractured ribs and a fractured pelvis which she has since recovered from. All this physical trauma has done nothing to dampen this little girl's spirit though! She is happy to greet everyone she meets with a wagging tail and a happy grin. Canella's ideal day would be spent in the lap of her humans or hanging out while gardening. She is still young, at 3 years of age, so she does have a playful side as well, but is more than happy to settle down if that's what you're doing! Canella does fine with other dogs after a careful and slow introduction, but she would likely prefer just to be the only baby of the family. She would also do best in an adult only home, as her previous injuries have made her wary of rough handling. This sweetheart just needs a forever home to love!

Thank you so much for your interest in one of our adoptable dogs. If you have questions, please e-mail ([email protected]). Our volunteer adoption committee will do its best to answer your inquiry within 24 to 48 hours.

If you are interested in adopting please read the following to expedite your application.

1. Return to our website at http://www.yolospca.org

2. Fill out an adoption application at http://bit.ly/1PIWjIA

3. If you are interested in meeting multiple animals please put all their names on one application. 

4. The adoption committee will email you to confirm receipt of your application as long as you have an email address listed on your application. 

5. If the dog is a good match for your family, a volunteer will call you to set up a meeting. The Yolo County SPCA is a volunteer run organization and are usually only able to call back if the dog would be a good match for your family based on the information received from the volunteer foster families. 

All of our canines are altered (spayed & neutered), puppies are started on their shots (DAPP), adults are up to date (rabies and DAPP) and have been heart worm tested (negative) and all dogs are microchipped. The adoption fee is $150 (which covers all of these costs) for all dogs and puppies. We also have special discounted adoption fees for Chihuahua mixes, at $100 for Chihuahua mix puppies and $50 for Chihuahua mix adults.

THERE IS NO SHELTER FOR YOU TO VISIT BECAUSE WE ARE A FOSTER BASED ORGANIZATION. IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS, WE REMOVE OUR ANIMALS FROM OUR SITE WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit animal rescue organization. All of our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. For more general questions please visit www.yolospca.org or contact us through email at ([email protected]).
