 LUCKY "777" MILESTONE! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO THINK RESCUE!
Our 777th rescue dog has been placed* into a loving, inspected & qualified home since the opening of our Burbank kennel, 3 years ago. That puts our total at over 5,000 dogs placed since our inception! However, we are only a band- aid for the abused & abandoned dog crisis that has become epidemic in recent years and continues to grow. We need your help now more than ever. As long as there is a dog in need, we will continue to be here for him.

Chihuahua Rescue relies on volunteers to create and maintain this website. Pictures & descriptions are as up to date as possible, but seeinga dog here does not guarantee that a dog is still available for adoption and not all of our dogs are pictured. We have many more that need your help, so please come visit us during adoption Saturdays or complete an application online. We also welcome any comments you may have. Again, thank you and please keep visiting us online!

Special- Needs Chihuahua, "Taz", with autism and post- traumatic stress disorder, was turned in for biting a child.  We don't always get a complete story when a Chi is surrendered and that that's the nature of the work we do. We just take them in because we feel they deserve better than to be put to death in a shelter. Dogs with major problems like this are difficult to place, but once in a while a special human with a special kind of love, patience and acceptance comes along. Read his heart- warming "happy ending" here... |

 Bought from a "pet shop" as a puppy, Tipton's owners took care of him for a good, long while, that is, until he was deemed "too old" and was dumped at a city shelter, likely to be euthanized. Luckily, we rescued Tipton and he was eventually placed with a kind, new family who all love him very much. He is a quiet, affectionate, beautiful little boy with perfect manners. Tipton loves to get and give kisses. |
|
 This is actually how these two sleep every night!

 Hi my name is Bear. I am a 5-6 yr old neutered male Chihuahua. I am up to date on all my shots and I am micro chipped. I am fully crate trained and if I am on one side of the house and you ask me to crate I will run to my crate and jump right in. I am on scheduled potty breaks and as long as you let me out I won’t have an accident in the house. I get along with other dogs and love to play with them. My foster dad has a cat that runs from me so of course I chase it. But I visit a home with two cats and I have no issues with them and hardly notice they are there. I love to sit on the sofa and watch TV with you and love to snuggle in your bed. I also love to ride in the car and I would love to go anyplace with you. (Sacramento, California) Email for info. |

 Yvette has had a hard life and she has to move on once again. Please give this adorable snuggler a chance at permanent love. A great girl, but is not good with cats. |

 Chubs is a 3 yr old, neutered Chihuahua/Min Pin mix found wandering the streets in Santa Ana. He was left at the Orange County shelter for 1 week, but his family never came to claim him.He was just diagnosed with diabetes, so he will need insulin shots twice a day…possibly for the rest of his life.
Okay with cats, but he may badger them. Fairly mellow and he walks well on a leash. He’s a little love bug with a sweet disposition! He enjoys plenty of "lap time" and is very eager to please. PLEASE FILL OUT AN APLICATION AND ADOPT ME! |
|
 Wonderful little boy that was turned into us by a person who found him wondering the streets. After trying to find his owner for two months she decided to turn him into us. He is friendly, about two years old and weighs about 5lbs. |
|
 Rickey, 10 year old male
This little senior dog was turned in by his owners who had to move to Chicago. They decided it would be too cold for this little guy there,
so they contacted us. He is very sweet, loving, and calm. This little guy walks very nicely on a leash too. |
|
 Kane is a two year old, male
Wonderful little boy! This owner turn in is amazing when he goes for walks, he stays right next to you. Loves kids and cats don’t bother him at all either. He is also very talented and can stand for a long time on his back legs. |
|
 Sparky was pulled from the West Valley Animal shelter just in the nick of time. The workers there could see his potential, but since he had bitten someone when he was rescued from the street (after being hit by a car) he was marked as a biter and was only eligible to be released to our Rescue.
This boy is wonderful, very sweet and loving, I don’t see the biter in him at all. As we all know how scary some situations can be, and I’m sure this little guy was just scared. After being held for a bit, I saw his wonderful and sparkling personality.
He’s approx. 3 years old, 7 lbs. |

 she is probably about 3yrs old, teeth have small amount of tartar, maybe 5 lbs, rescued off a busy 6 lane highway, covered in fleas, mud, sore on her belly.... not fixed. Very sweet and loving and a good watch dog, shy around new people and especially men. Needs to be with someone pretty full time, can stay in a kennel or bag and travel, but does not like being left alone. I would not have her around young children as she is very small, and gets nervous easy. I know she looks at small dogs and the kitty but not sure how she is with other pets... it would be dangerous to expose her to larger dogs. She is very energetic and will play running around the house or yard, she loves to sleep right next to you and give you puppy kisses... she bonded to me very quickly and I think she could bond to someone who would give her constant love and affection.... She is very small and thin but eats well, so I think it is just her natural size, since she eats three big bowls of food a day. |

 We have two little dogs. One, a female, is named Foxy. She is light brown, about a foot tall with long legs and pointy ears. She is a joy to be around, energetic and friendly-everyone loves her. My Mom found her and took her in, she has visited the vet regularly and has all of her shots and licenses. The other, a male, named skinner, is about 11 or 12 years old and has epilepsy. He takes Rimadyl and Phenobarbital twice daily. Sadly, he was abused as a pup, before my mom adopted him, and he is not as friendly as Foxy. |
 They can be adopted separately-I would not place Skinner in a home with small children as he is a little snippy. |
|
 This beauty, Carol, was turned in for nipping at a child who was unrelentlessly tormenting her. She is sweet, loving and gentle and would do well with a new family with similar qualities. |
