Welcome , it's great that you are choosing a rescue chi !! Look for a rescue where the dogs are in foster homes . The foster mama will know the dog real well , will know if the dog is good with cats , other dogs and children . Although since Chis are so tiny , most prefer them to be around older kids . Maybe a larger chi or a chiweenie ?
