My story

Meet Colleen Colleen is a tiny Chihuahua, weighing in at about 6 lbs and estimated to be 6-7 years old. She was found along with quite a few other dogs left in a home after their mom was taken to the hospital, then died. We were able to take Colleen, her sister and her brother, all Chihuahuas. Her brother and sister were already adopted. Colleen remains, waiting for the forever family she deserves to find her! Colleen is timid, and pretty passive; she would prefer a quiet home. She is very sweet and friendly. She enjoys spending time in her crate with the door open, observing surrounding activities. She is OK with other small dogs, not particularly playful, but more as a companion. An ideal adopter for Colleen is one who is very experienced with such tiny dogs and the dangers they could face. For example, in a fenced yard, if hawks or owls are overhead….such a tiny pup could make a nice meal. And, even though that fenced yard appears secure for a normal dog, it may not be so, for a such a small dog as Colleen. If you enjoy hiking or long walks…or dog parks…Colleen would not be your best choice of dog. She’s in good shape but she is so small that she’s naturally fragile. Her ideal life would be lounging, maybe an occasional ride in a doggy-stroller, and just being with her special person. While in overall good health. Colleen has a heart murmur and, as recommended by our vet, is taking Vetmedin (cost is ~$1.00/day) to ensure she’s on top of her game. She also takes glucose-chondroitin (Dasuquin). Colleen is up to date on all vaccinations. Heartworm tested and on heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you may be interested in adding Colleen to your family, please email BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com for more information and an adoption application. Note that BAARK is located in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, and adopts local to our area.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Colleen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
