I walked threw the shelter and almost brought home a one eyed chihuahua! I spent time with her, but she got adopted. When I was playing with her a lady came looking for her the lady was sooo happy!!

I live in Ontario - Canada - We have Chihuahuas in shelters here too but not so many - kind of like our human population differences! My Petfinder search in 100miles so I see all the wonderful Chi's in NY - I have to look closely or fall for one of them. --- In [email protected], Peggy & The Girls <phr...@...> wrote: > > > Hi Jacqueline, welcome to the group. I found Gigi on EBay classifieds. It turns out that she is 6 years old and not 2 as her last owner was told when she found her on ebay classified a month before. It also turns out that I and 2Vets believe that she was some ones backyard breeder dog, and never taken care of the way she should have been. I knew the minute I saw her that she was older and was going to have some medical issues., and I didn't care because I fell in love with her instantly. She deserved so much better then what her previous life had given her. Through the years I have had poodles, yorkies, and malteses and for me the Chihuahua is the top of the list for the toy breeds. They give you the combination of a lap dog and a large active/courageous big dog all wrapped up in one. She was incredibly easy to housebreak for outside as well as on wee pads. Just within the first couple of months she slipped right into my routine and has understood and acted on commands very readily. They are a smart breed and catch onto everything very fast. > > I can't imagine not having her in my life. She puts the sunshine on my face everyday and that is a blessing. > > I don't know what state you live in, but I hope that the end result is that you adopt/rescue a chi and not buy one. Petfinders says that their are over 13,000 Chi's in shelters and rescues across the states that need homes. Why anyone wants to breed them right now, when so many desperately need homes is beyond me. CA has the largest turnover of Chi's and many of the rescues are willing to transport them anywhere for only a small fee. > > You may want to also check out the Dogs In Danger Site http://www.dogsindanger.com/ use the drop down for the breed and the state. You will be horrified how many are on death row every day. It's heartbreaking, and believe me the figures are correct for euthanized dogs. > > Their is a rescue group called Chihuahua Rescue & Transport that has a lot of chis in the southern states and mid west states that need homes too. When you do find a shelter on Petfinders, especially in the southern states, beware that those dogs only have 5 days left to be saved, so you have to act quickly. > > Good luck and I hope you save a Chi! > > > Gigi, my Sunshine!, shes 6 pounds and perfect! Just look at that sweet adorable face, how any one could have given her up is beyond me.. > > > > > > > > ⥠Peggy & The Girls ⥠> > > > -----Original Message----- > From: jacehomeart <jacehome...@...> > To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> > Sent: Wed, Nov 3, 2010 4:24 pm > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Hi to all you Chi owners > > > > > Hi - I'm Jacqueline > I just joined this group and am currently looking around to adopt a female Chi. We live in an apt and have always loved dogs. Currently we are looking at re-homed dogs as we want a mature dog. Wish us luck. > > I already have a few questions. When I read about Chihuahuas they never say they have folded ears - but I see a lot of them - are they mixed breeds? I also have seen Merle dogs - in Dashounds they are not allowed due to health issues - is this also something to avoid? > > If you have tips about looking for a dog or anything we need to know about Chihuahuas that we haven't read about - please share. >
