I need to give away my two chihuahuas.....?

Question

I live in a small apartment in Las Vegas and I need to pay 800dls for pet deposit. I cant affort it so I am willing to give them out to someone that will take care of them. I dont want to to take them to a shelter because I dont want them to be killed. Does anybody know where I can take them or if anybody wants them in las Vegas.... let me know. They are for FREE and it includes the cage and food.

Is not that I am selfish... believe me, it breaks my heart to let them go.... I cant afford to pay 400 each for pet deposit. Thats eight hundred dls. non-refundable. I recently got identity theaft and cleared all my accounts. I moved to a bad area where the rent is cheap and I dont want my babies to suffer with no food or without me. I am trying to recover myself by working two jobs and I wouldnt be with them like I used to be and they will die if they are lonely. Thats why I am looking for someone that will care for them and be there for them.

Answer 2

We recently had to part with our English Bulldog due to the fact that we are expecting our second child. We wanted to keep our beloved family member, but figured that we wouldn't have time for him once the new baby arrives, not to mention chasing our three year old and working. We put an ad in the local newspaper and put flyers up at local pet shops that we knew were respectable, and asked $500 or best offer. We wanted to make sure that he would go to a respectable and loving home and figured that asking for some sort of money would weed out those looking for a free dog. I'd just ask for sort of money and screen the people interested in the dogs. It makes you feel better about where your pets go. Also, you could look up Chihuahua Rescues in the area and they will take the dogs and try to adopt them out and if they are not adopted they will NOT put them down, they'll keep them until they pass from natural causes. I had a golden as a child that we gave to GRRAND (rescue) due to the fact that my step father was transferred to Germany and we couldn't take her with us, they continued to contact us and sent us pictures of her until she finally passed on from old age. Of course, it looks like you could also send your dogs to Ohio to what is most likely a good home. Stay strong I know it's hard, but it does get better with time. I promise.

Answer 3

You could always put an ad in the paper to find someone but you would not really know if they went to a loving home or not. Go to the chihuahua rescue web site and maybe they can help you find a no kill place to send them until they find a home. Some places have foster parents for dogs. They take good care of them and have the time and resources to find a good home for them. Its sad you have to part with your dogs, I have a chi and wouldnt be able to stand it. Im glad you care enough to want to find a good home for them.

Answer 4

i'm at present 7.5 months pregnant, and that i had an analogous difficulty with my 2 canines returned while they have been puppies (they're 4 now). My husband and that i've got been treating them the two, because of the fact we like them the two, of direction! seems this is the worst factor you're able to do. canines basically comprehend hierarchy, and in case you take care of them the two, then they conflict it out to be sure which one is the alpha and which one is the beta. we've a ninety-lb male lab and a 9-lb lady terrier, and the little terrier is unquestionably the boss. So, as an occasion, as quickly as we supply them treats, the terrier consistently gets the 1st take care of; as quickly as we greet them as quickly as we come residing house, the terrier consistently gets the 1st around of interest; etc. We supply our lab only as lots love because of the fact the terrier, yet they the two comprehend now that the terrier is the alpha. It basically took approximately week human beings changing our habit, and the combating thoroughly stopped. desire that enables. Oh, additionally, a prior poster counseled The canines Whisperer, and that i 2d that suggestion!

Answer 5

I agree. Try running an ad, but you shouldn't give them away for free. You should charge something, even if it's a minimal amount. Good luck, and I'm sorry that you have to give them up.

EDIT TO ADD:

I didn't see the response before mine, but that sounds like a great solution :-) Thumbs up to Timberwolf :-) I'm sure you could get pictures from the sister , too :-)

Answer 6

would you have a problem with shipping them if someone outside the state wanted them? perhaps the new owner could pay shipping if you do the research on how to send them - I ask because my sister loves chihuahuas and has been looking to replace the one she used to have. If you could find the way to ship them to Alliance, OH - and give me an estimate, I may be able to pay to ship them. Try greyhound bus lines, sometimes they can do it, or ship them by plane or other carrier - someone out there has to do it - Also, I just called my sister - is VERY interested, as I knew she would be - please tell us more about the babies!!!
