Chihuahua | Breed | The Animal League Of Green Valley

Peanut

Hi… my name is Peanut.

Adopted December 8, 2014.

Yep, the name suits me! But at only 8 pounds, there’s a lot of love packed into this little body! It’s always hard to imagine little guys like me running down busy Nogales Highway, but that’s where I was found, so being in “The Den” at TALGV is about as adventurous as I want to be! The volunteers say that I just “love to be loved,” and that if anyone wants a Velcro lap dog, they couldn’t do better than me. I’m a perfect gentleman on my walks, doing “my thing” when I’m supposed to, and then I’m happy to get back here and have some serious lap time. I’m a young Chihuahua lover who has been here a while now, so I’m hopeful that the holidays will see me under someone’s tree!

Abrega

Hi… my name is Abrega.

Adopted November 20, 2014.

As many of you probably know, a Chihuahua’s many charms include our small size and outsize personality, but we’re also fully capable of competing in dog sports. More than anything else though, we love being with our people and boy does that go quadruple for me! I have simply never met a lap I didn’t like! I get along okay with other dogs when we’re out playing, but when it comes to my home life, I’d really rather not have to share my person’s affections with any anyone else (they say I’m “single and loving it”!). I was found wandering the streets in Rancho Abrego a while back and while I’m enjoying the attention I get here, I’d sure like to have lots more of it — preferably now!

Arrived October 21, 2014.

Duval

Hi… my name is Duval.

Adopted November 30, 2014.

Wee thing that I am, I’m so glad that someone saw me tied to a dumpster or I’d have been a goner for sure because I was really sick at the time. Well, I’m all well now and living with a foster mom who says I’m the sweetest thing on four legs. I’m a young longhaired “foxy” mix of Chihuahua and something else adorable. I’m the quintessential lap dog, love all people (my whole body wags when I meet you!), am perfectly crate-trained (but need a bit more work on house training), and prance like a show dog on a leash. At my age, I’m still very much a puppy, but it won’t take any time at all for me to be the lap-sitting fur ball of your dreams!

Belle

Hi… my name is Belle.

Adopted October 22, 2014.

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Arrived October 16, 2014.

Copper

Hi… my name is Copper.

Adopted November 1, 2014.

Boy, I don’t know what a fella has to do to get noticed around here! I arrived October 1^st and have been trying to present my most adorable self to the public ever since! I guess there are just so many of us here that I sometimes get “lost in the shuffle!” My rescuers said, “A large truck dropped this puppy off on the road and we stopped and called him and he responded immediately by coming to us. He has a sweet temperament and is very smart.” I’m an 11-pound, young copper-colored, longhaired Chihuahua mix boy who has a “foxy” look that (I think!) is totally endearing. I love people (especially their laps!), and am a joyous, happy guy who would love to share those traits with you!

Arrived October 1, 2014.

Buster

Hi… my name is Buster.

Adopted December 6, 2014.

My family adopted me from TALGV when I was eight weeks old and although they loved me to pieces, I wasn’t getting along with the young kids that visited the house (but I was fine with “my own” kids), so I guess a new home is in my future. My people said that I’m loyal, faithful, very protective of my family, and well, just basically a real sweetheart. I’m about 15 months old now and have turned into an eye-catching mix of Corgi (check out the ears and feet) and Chihuahua (a real surprise if you see my baby pictures!). I have perfect house manners (I can use a doggie door and am crate trained), and love being part of the action, so I’m ready made for a home that will appreciate my attributes!

Arrived September 21, 2014.

Lola

Waylon

Hi… my name is Waylon.

Adopted October 10, 2014.

Three years old, ten pounds, and a Chihuahua — what more could you “little dog” lovers want? Everyone thought for sure my owners would come looking for me in a day or two after I’d been found in the Duval Safeway parking lot, but I’ve been here twiddling my paws for three weeks now and I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen! SO…all you need to know is that like all members of my breed, I’ll be good with families (if the children are gentle) and because of my small size, I don’t require a whole lot of exercise (well, some!) and minimal grooming. All I need are the “basics” of dog care: plenty of food, love, attention and a lap to call my own forever. C’mon, you KNOW that’s you!

Arrived September 13, 2014

Monty

Hi… my name is Monty.

Adopted November 16, 2014.

How can you resist this face? There seems to be an overabundance of lost “little guys” lately, and I’m sad to say that I’m a member of that not-so-lucky club. I AM lucky in that I ended up here, though, as had I not been rescued from Nogales Highway, I might not be around to promote myself! I’m a darling, young tan and white Chihuahua/Jack Russell terrier mix boy with a bit of salt and pepper around my nose. Since I’ve been living in an enclosure here in “The Den” at TALGV, it’s obvious that I’m perfectly crate-trained, so I’m sure my house manners will be exemplary. It’s also really special for me when people come to visit because I LOVE attention, so I promise to be the lap dog of your dreams when we’re together!
