CHIHUAHUA & SMALL DOG RESCUE, INC.

About CHIHUAHUA & SMALL DOG RESCUE, INC.
Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue, Inc. is a Colorado nonprofit (EIN 20-3492450) founded in the mid-2000s and operated as an all-volunteer, foster-based, no-kill rescue serving small dogs across the state.
The organization’s work focused on intake of surrendered, abandoned, injured, ill, elderly and special-needs small dogs, providing necessary veterinary care (including spay/neuter and vaccinations), and placing them in screened foster-to-adopt homes.
In 2025 the group posted a notice on its official site that it has decided to close after roughly 18 years of operation; the site indicates an adopters portal will remain available so former adopters can access medical records.
