How to Start a Chihuahua Rescue in Oklahoma

By Liza Kollman

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Rescue license

Step 1:
Secure a home base for your rescue organization. This should be a building that is zoned for business in the state of Oklahoma. The building will need kennels, exercise areas and places for the chihuahuas to live. You should also have a main area where families can come and see the chihuahuas and hopefully adopt them.
Step 2:
Get a rescue license in the state of Oklahoma. This can be done through the Oklahoma ASPCA or the Humane Society in Oklahoma. Once you have this, you will be listed as a rescue for chihuahuas in that state.
Step 3:
Contact both the AKC and UKC, because chihuahuas are a registered breed. Ask them to put you on the rescue lists for the state of Oklahoma and also nationally.
Step 4:
Advertise in your local town and across the state as a chihuahua rescue.
