Chispa

Meet Chispa! We met Chispa when he was a street dog and wandered into a spay/neuter clinic we were helping with in Guadalajara. He is a very friendly boy and a little curious too and stole all of the volunteers hearts that day. He is a Chihuahua mix that is about 2-3 years old, 13lbs. Though he is small, he is mighty with a great personality and very affectionate nature. He does well with other dogs and kids, cats are unknown. Chispa just loves to cuddle up with you and enjoys a fashionable sweater too! He is excited to start his next chapter with a family or BFF to call his very own. He is being fostered in Redmond, OR.

Our Vetting policy

  • Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.

  • Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.

Our Rehoming Policy

  • While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home you may list your pet on our site for free until you identify a suitable placement. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care. You will need to find an appropriate solution to safely and humanely continue care for the animal while looking for a new owner.
