About this shelter

Chihuahua Rescue & Transport in Bantam, CT

Chihuahua Rescue & Transport is a nonprofit organization based in Bantam, Connecticut, located in Litchfield County, roughly 15 miles southeast of Waterbury—one of 8 other animal shelters and rescues also serving Litchfield County. The organization is dedicated to rescuing Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes, operating through a network of dedicated volunteers across three regions—Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest—who attend to each dog's immediate medical, emotional, and behavioral health. Rather than housing dogs in a physical shelter, CRT relies entirely on carefully screened foster homes, and its goal is to place rescues into approved forever homes or long-term foster care where they can live their best lives. The group has successfully placed thousands of rescued dogs into forever homes over the years.
