Rehoming a dog is a significant commitment and not a cost-saving alternative to purchasing one. The ongoing care of a dog typically costs as a minimum £100 per month, covering essentials such as food, insurance, routine treatments like worming and flea prevention etc. Our adoption fee reflects the level of care we provide and also helps ensure that prospective owners are financially prepared for the responsibility of pet ownership.

Older Chihuahuas, while wonderfully loving companions, come with their own unique challenges. Adjusting to a new home can take time, and the transition may be stressful for both the dog and their new owner. Patience and understanding are essential, as an older dog may need time to settle, bond, and develop consistent habits, including toilet training and comfortable walks.

At Chelsea Chihuahua, we take the time to thoroughly assess each dog's personality and needs, ensuring they are matched with the perfect forever home. We are committed to providing lifelong support to our adoptive new owners, and for the first year, we offer discounted rates at our Chihuahua hotel to assist with their transition.

Our priority is the well-being of the dogs, and we deeply appreciate those who open their hearts and homes to give them a second chance at a happy life.
