Arizona Chihuahua Rescue

ADOPTED!!

GIANNA AND CHIARO

GIANNA AND CHIARO MUST BE ADOPTED
TOGETHER. Gianna is a little fire cracker. She is what I
call personality plus!!!! There is never a dull moment when she is around! Whether
she is barking at herself in the mirror or chasing her shadow, she loves running
around at top speed. Her tail never stops wagging! In fact, it wags so much and
hard her whole body moves with it!! She loves to play with other dogs her size and
especially with her little boy Chiaro. She will be happiest in a home where she has a
friend or two she can play with and I promise you, they will keep you entertained for
hours!!! She is very active and would love going for walks on a daily basis to burn
off all that energy( I just need to get her used to the leash!). She is very inquisitive.
She is extremely friendly and loves attention. And the best part is she is appreciative
of the attention that she receives. She is supposed to be around 2 years old and
weighs about 5lbs and is solid. She is so cute, her one floppy ear gives her massive
amounts of character and charm. She will make someone a very happy pet parent!

Chiaro, Italian for fair, is the sweetest little

man that you could ever see. He loves to play with his mom Gianna. He is about 8
weeks old and maybe weighs a pound. He is not ready for prime time just yet. He
needs his shots and to be fixed. But first he needs to gain some weight! At the
moment, he is about the size of my hand! He loves to be held, and very inquisitive
and eating solid food. Please don't let the cuteness fool you, not everyone and
every home is ready to have a puppy! They are a lot of work! Potty training is just
the tip of the iceberg! Because of how small he is, he will not be placed in a home
with small children. He is just to fragile. I would assume that when he is grown, he
will be about 5lbs. With that being said, when he leaves me, he will do best in a
home who has another dog or two. He loves to play as much as his mom Gianna
does (FYI- which is A LOT!!!!) But soon, his forever parents will fall head over heals
in love with this happy go lucky pup!

GIANNA AND CHIARO WOULD DO BEST WITH A FAMILY WHO ALREADY HAS OTHER
SMALL DOGS TO PLAY WITH.

Please email
Az Chihuahua Rescue for information on how to adopt Chiaro.

MICKEY

Yes I know it seems obvious to name
me Mickey cuz of my BIG ears. My personality is as big as my ears!! I am a super
sweet, loving boy. I'm not as active as some of the other boys at my foster mom's
home� I would rather she just carry me around. I mean really ~ why walk when you
can ride *Grin*

WILLOW

Hi! My name is Willow. I am a little male
weighing about 3 � pounds, and as you can see, I�m as cute as they come! When I
first got to my foster home I was very shy and afraid to be touched, but I am coming
out of my shell now. I run up to my foster mom to be picked up, and I LOVE my
belly rubbed. Strangers still make me a little nervous, but I am warming up more
quickly. I love other dogs and really need to go to a home where I will have a friend
to play with me or I will get very lonely.

I am starting to understand the whole potty outside thing, but I need some more
work on this. I do best when I�m in a crate if no one is home. I love to run and play
outside too! I am still getting used to the leash, and it�s not my favorite thing yet.

SPIRIT

Hi! I am Spirit. I�m a very shy 4 � pound
male chi. I am still very nervous around people, but I do let my foster mom pick me
up and pet me now. I like other small dogs, and I do better if I�m not alone. I�m
very quiet and most often hide, but if everyone is sitting very still I will come and sit
next to my foster mom without being asked.

I go outside, but I�m a little nervous out there, so I don�t like to stay out very long,
and I�m still working on the potty thing. I would be better in a quiet home with no
small children, and I would love to have a dog friend to snuggle with.

CHUNKY MONKEY

Chunky Monkey is about 3 years old. He is a
very little (& chunky) boy (only about 4 lbs) who has a cute monkey face and is a
beautiful copper colored male with white markings. He is a tiny boy & is getting to
his proper weight. He has some business to take care of before being adopted so
will hopefully be ready for adoption soon. He gets along with other small dogs
and
comes to his name well. He is learning to enjoy his humans so will need help with
that as well as maintaining a proper weight for his tiny frame. He will need help
from his human to work on becoming potty trained. Because he is so little he will
need to go to a forever home with no big dogs and no children under 14 years old.

HARRY

About Me: I am from the Tucson 800, I am
very small and fragile. I am 3 years old and weigh 3 1/2 pounds! I love the
company of people and dogs. I must go into a home with other small dogs (Under
20 lbs) as I do not like to be alone. I love to be petted and loved on. I give hugs
and kisses and I like to sleep in bed with my foster parents and brothers/sisters at
night. I cannot go into a home with small children or immature older children as I
am so small I could get hurt too easily. I like to eat dry food and currently eat Solid
Gold �Wee Bits� which I like very much. I�m not much for wet food. I am somewhat
potty trained you must take me outside or on walks and I will go. I don�t really like
to use my foster parents doggie door, it scares me. I am a very mellow, playful and
loving Chihuahua looking for the perfect forever home.

MR. COFFEE

WOW!!! I want to say thank you to the
public and the azcr for helping me and my friends out of that place in Tucson! I am
a little boy who is about three pounds. I am a submissive little guy that loves to
snuggle and sunbathe. my name is mr. coffee. I am about 3 years old from what the
vets say. I am not going to do good in a home with little kids but my foster home
does have older kids and I love them. I also love to lounge and watch tv and play
with the other fosters I think there is a familiar face or two in the bunch.

I have learned the words "out" and "potty" and have gotten used to wearing a collar.
I love just about everyone and really am thankful for being out of that mess I was in.
if you are looking for a little man to add to your family, then I am him. however, your
going to have to be easy with me as all this new formal training and socialization is
great but I need time to absorb it all. if you would like to adopt me please download
an application and where it says dog of interest, please put "mr. coffee". then email
it to the email address listed below so it will go to my foster mom. I am looking
forward so much for my new forever home !!!!

BUTTERCUP

Hi my name is hi buttercup and I am asix
year old female. I was rescued from Tucson. I am just so thankful that it's over. my
foster family is spoiling me. I am looking for in my forever home because I am very
lovable and am not feral. I love the couch and to snuggle. the first couple of nights
were very different for me. I was crunched anywhere. it's just really nice and I need
someone to love me. I am very easygoing, like to walk a little on the leash and just
love to be with the humans in my life and love my treats. if you would like to make
me part of your family please email the rescue and they will forward it to my foster
mom. thanks so much for all the great donations and everything everyone is doing
for us!

ANNIE

Hi m name is Annie. I am a 5 month old
female. My foster mom thinks I am the cutest.I am going to need patience due to
needing all the training. I am not so much afraid, like my foster brothers, but they
have been around for awhile. My foster mom has introduced me to toys and treats
and I think they are great. I will sit on your lap, but still can be shy and timid at
times but when I realize how good it feels to get attention i am okay. I will not be
adopted to a family with small kids or big dogs. So if you think that I will fit your
family. Let the Az chihuahua rescue know. I will be waiting.

ANNIE 2

Hi my name is Annie. I am almost ready to go
to a forever home. I have the most beautiful green eyes. I am around 2 months old
and I weigh 2 pounds. My personality is so sweet and lovable. I love to cuddle. I
came from Tucson but I don't really know what was going on. I hear my Foster Mom
talk about it but I don't understand. I have better things to do, like act cute and pose
for pictures. I love to play with my brothers and sisters and man do we have alot of
toys. Thank you!

CHARLIE

CHi, my name is Charlie. As you can see I'm a
really handsome guy. I am about a year old and weigh 3 1/2 pounds. I love to run
outside and play with lots of toys. I get along with other small dogs especially if
they
like to play. I need to go to a home with no small children because of my size. I am
crate trained and I am almost house broke. I don't walk on a leash yet, but my
foster MOM works with me every day. I would love to go to a home with another
pal
for me to play with. My Mom says I'm a very smart guy and learn very fast. When
she talks to me I tilt my head back and forth. I would make a great companion and
I
like car rides. If you would like to love two dogs my friend Koda would love to
come
with me. We both came from that nasty place in Tucson and we are ready for lots
of
love and a forever family. OH by the way I give GREAT KISSES!!!!!!!!!

CALI

Hi, my name is Cali and I am about 8 years old. I
came from Tucson and I am much happier now - I am just too dainty a girl to have
been in that big bunch of dogs, My foster mom thinks I must have been pretty
special - maybe I made pretty babies, because I am so well socialized, I just sit up
and ask to be picked up. I weigh about 5 lbs so I am easy to carry around. I give
kisses and love to snuggle. I am learning to go outside but it is all new so it may
take some time. The doctor says I have a heart murmur so I will have to be on
medication for the rest of my life. It's not too bad, just 1/2 a pill twice a day. Other
than that he says I am a healthy girl.

KJ

Hi I'm KJ. My sister is Annie. I am the only boy in
my family. I have 4 sisters. I guess that makes me the ALFA MALE. I am 2 months
old and I weigh 2 pounds. I will be looking for a forever home soon. I love to play.
My Foster Mom says I'm spunky. What's that Mean? Any way I love to strut around
the yard. I am THE MAN !!!!!! If you are interested in me watch for me to move up
soon to the adoptables. Won't be long cause I'm THE MAN !!!!!!!

KODA

Hi, my name is Koda. I think it's short for
Dakota. I am a male and I weigh about 5 pounds. I am a year old and have a
beautiful copper red coat. I get along with other small dogs that like to play and
romp. I should go to a home with no small children because I am still a little
nervous and scared at loud noises and sounds. I am crate trained and my foster
MOM says I am almost housebroken. She says I'm such a good. I came from the
Tucson bunch and we didn't have a very good life, so I'm looking for someone with
patience and alot of time to spend with me. I would love to have another doggy pal
at home to keep me company. I don't think I would like to be by myself. I am trying
to walk on a leash but sometimes it frightens me. I will try my best to learn all
these
new things but it takes time. I love to nap in my crate in the afternoons but I get
really excited when my foster MOM comes to get me so I can sit on her lap. I would
love to go to a forever home so I can get settled into a routine. If you are looking to
love two dogs my friend Charlie is also available. We get along great.

BUSTER BOY

This is Buster, he is trying very hard to be
a good little boy. He came from Tucson and has not had very much human
contact, or so we think. He is very shy of being handled and loved. He is
improving greatly each day and we can tell he wants to be involved in play and
attention. Buster will need a FOREVER home that is very kind and patient, I have
total faith that buster can be a much more normal and loving companion as time
goes on with lots of love and kindness. He is still working on his potty training and
is doing great with the kennel training we are doing so far. He now is coming up to
us to be picked up and loved but will sometimes shy away and decide he is not
ready. This is why we need a very patient family to help him continue to improve
and be a happy little dog.

MARCUS

I am a shy little boy, I am sweet and loving
but
would rather be watching from the sidelines. More info on me later�

PANDA

Panda is a pretty Japanese Chin about 1 1/2
years old, who weighs just 5 lbs. She is sweet & friendly, loves children, gets along
with cats, dogs, and children. She is mostly paper trained. She LOVES attention and
would do best with someone who can spend a lot of time with her.

MARSHAL

RrrrrrrrrRUFF RUFF!! My name is MARSHAL

great
companion. My tail wags all the time and I wanna do nothing more than make you
happy. I like to play and will chase you and when I catch you WATCH OUT ~ I will
smother you in puppy kisses!! Dontcha think ya need a friend like me?? If so send
my foster mommy an email.

LEON

Hello my name is Leon I am a teeny tiny
Chihuahua boy at about 2.5 pounds and absolutely ADORABLE! and I have been on
the news a few times so I am a celebrity to boot!!!!

My personality is so darn cute that frankly I am irresistible. I have so much puppy
left in me and I am enjoying freedom so much that it shows in every move I make. I
also am getting real use to the cuddle on the lap idea. I fall asleep all the time on
my foster mom or dads lap.

Being so small my foster mom will take some precautions with my applications. If
you think I am your match, which you know I am please fill out an application.
Please keep in mind I still need to be neutered before I go anywhere.

P.S due to my circumstances I will need some additional training as well so be
prepared.

RHEA

Hello, My name is Rhea. When I first came
from Tucson, I was so very afraid. However, after a week, I started to come out of
my shell and now I am just a confident 3-pound young lady who cannot wait to be
the center of attention.

When they found me, I was being used as a breeder and thank goodness that is
over. I have been fixed and not too soon! I loved my babies but I love being babied
even more!

I am in a house with children and a lot of dogs. I get along with the dogs just fine
but the children do get on my nerve a bit so keep that in mind when you fill out an
application.

P.S due to my circumstances I will need some training as well so be prepared.

Thanks a bunch!

FONZIE

Hi my name is Fonzie and I am a 1 year old
male. I am very shy and timid and everything scares me. I hide in the blankets and
beds so that nobody can see me. I have been introduced to toys and treats and I
am
not interested at this time. I need so much socialization. Everything scares me.
When I am held I am stiff as a board but the after awhile I relax and then just
tremble. I will need alot of time and patience. I will not be adopted to a family with
small children or big dogs. So if you think that I fit your family, let az chihuahua
rescue know. I will be waiting.

JOSIE

Hi everyone my name is Josie and I am 3 year
old little chi and terrier mix. I weigh about 3 to 4 pounds. I am so glad to be out of
Tucson .... you cannot imagine. there has been lots of changes in my life and all for
the better!!!!!!!! right now I am working on my socialization with people. I finally got
used to wearing a collar and when the leash is on I just kind of freeze. my foster
mom and dad are doing lots of tiny footsteps. I am looking for a forever home with
older kids or a nice family with a stable routine. I do like other dogs very much as
that is all I have ever known. once you hold me for a while I do snuggle a little but I
need a very patient family who is going to continue to be loving and patient. I just
also wanted to say I am so very grateful for the rescue and all the donations that
everyone has been giving.

MINNIE

TILLIE

HARDY

Hardy is Suzie's puppy born on March 13,
2008. He came from the puppy mill in Tucson when he was just a few hours old so
he has been raised in his foster home and has never had a hard day in his life.
Hardy is very playful, curious and very loving. He loves to play with toys and other
dogs and can be rowdy, but he will also sit with you calmly just enjoying the
company. He loves to climb all over his foster mom. Hardy is partially paper
trained, but will need continued potty training. He is also a chewer so will need
plenty of toys to chew on and understanding as he teeths.

RINGO

Ringo is Suzie's puppy born on March 13,
2008. He came from the puppy mill in Tucson when he was just a few hours old so
he has been raised in his foster home and has never had a hard day in his life.
Ringo is super playful, curious and very fiesty. He was the first in his litter to growl,
bark, and play with toys. He is a handful. Ringo is partially paper trained, but will
need continued potty training. He is also a chewer so will need plenty of toys to
chew on and understanding as he teeths.

Dixie is a light tan Chihuahua/Terrier mix that
is between 4 & 6 years old. She is a tiny girl at just 6lbs.
Considering where she came from, Dixie has obviously been through a lot & is
desperate for some TLC. She had a bunch of dental work done at the vet's office,
has been vaccinated & was already spayed when she came to us. She's healthy and
happy now so she is looking for her forever home!
Dixie seems to get along fine with other small dogs, but she is fearful of bigger
dogs. It would be best if she could find a family without children since she is still
fearful of them.
She is currently kept in a kennel while we aren't around & hasn't made any messes
so I'd say she's happily crate-trained. She definitely gets comfort from being in
there and goes in willingly after coming out to potty & run around.
Dixie would be perfect for an older person or couple since she likes it to be quiet &
will sit on your lap indefinitely. Dixie has grown to LOVE sunning herself outside &
treats of cheese (who doesn�t!) and she�s even starting to play a little bit with our
other foster dog. She is definitely progressing & as we are building up trust with
her, she is starting to come out of her shell. She will need a patient forever home
that will help her with socialization & continued training such as listening to
commands and walking on a leash.

BUNNY

I'm cute, right? Go on, admit it! My name is
Bunny and I'm one of the gals from the Tucson home. I'm pretty sure I'm the cutest
one of the bunch, but don't tell my other Tucson friends I said that. :) I'm a spayed
yorkie and my foster mom thinks I weigh about 6 or 7 pounds. I had surgery done
on both my hips and knees along with a good dental cleaning. I'm all better!

I get along great with my human family and my fur brothers. I enjoy older children
(over 12) as long as they're not wild. I've had a couple of potty accidents, but now I
go potty outside as long as you let me out often. I snore when I sleep, I buck like a
yorkie-bronco when I'm happy, and I'm always available for goody treats! I don't
mind baths and I don't mind sleeping in a crate at night.

If you have any questions, please email my foster mom. I know there's a family
out there for me - I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Much love,
Bunny the Yorkie

SPIKE

Hi everyone my name is spike. I am an apple
head chihuahua. I am very loving and like other little dogs. WOWOWO! man have
the
last two weeks been different. I am in heaven. I don�t have to sleep in feces or urine
and I am getting fed and there are people with happy faces that love me. I am
loving
sitting in the sun...it s so nice. I also want to take a moment and really tell
everyone
how much it means that people have such big hearts! thank you for all the
donations! there are so many of us and most of us need some kind of medical issue
addressed.

as for me, I have just started to accept my foster family and like to check out what
everyone is doing. I follow the older girl human a lot. she loves to hold me. as for
my forever dream home I am going to need someone who loves my big brown eyes
and will spoil me but also give me lots of guidance. I never knew there was an
outside world so potty time has become my new favorite pastime just like football
for most guys (little joke!). anyhow, if you have lots of patience and a great big
heart please adopt me! now your going ask "how do I go about that?" please
download the adoption application and email it to the email address listed below
and where it says dog of interest please fill in my name "spike" so that it can be
forwarded to my foster mom. I will be waiting, spike!

CASPER

Hi my name is Casper and I am a 3 year old
little boy and weigh about 5 pounds. I am looking for a forever home that will love
me and spoil me but at the same time give me direction and understanding. I am
still getting used to people, but as you see I like other little dogs and older children
and of course my foster parents because they feed me!

I finally got used to wearing my harness and now my foster family is working on a
little leash training. I have learned what potty means but I still have little accidents.
I
am doing pretty good for two weeks out of 700 dogs doing whatever everywhere.

If you would love to add me to your family, please download the application and
email it to the email address listed below and where it says dog of interest please
insert my name so it can be sent to the right place. Oh, I forgot to tell you the most
exciting thing...I love to sunbathe!!!! I am not mean when I am scared I just freeze.
But the best of the best is I started to play with a ball today!!! it's really cool!
Thanks
again for everyone's hard work. I know I am truly a lot happier and just blessed!
Casper

SCOOTER

Hi! my name is Scooter! It's a pretty good
name for me, because I have already tried to go exploring out of the room I share
with my friend, Elvis. I wasn't supposed to go out, though, since I am being treated
for giardia and I am not very sure of where I am. There are too many things that
could be a problem for me, just yet! I came from that horrible place in Tucson and
have ended up in a quiet bedroom with Elvis. We are getting the medicine for
giardia and I also had some infection in my ears. Other than that, I am a pretty
healthy guy. I am still not so sure about the whole lovin' thing, but I am MUCH
easier for my foster mom to catch to medicate me. I do kinda like the loving stuff a
little bit, but still don't relax all of the way.

I had to be treated for a long time for giardia, but I am finally totally better! I love
to run around the house and even outside (wow is it hot now, though!) I am still a
little wary, but I am getting more and more brave and really love the attention.
Sometimes I will even come up to my foster mom and ASK for attention! I really
love my buddy Elvis, but he is STILL so shy and probably won't be going up for
adoption for awhile. I will really miss him a lot, so you will have to make me know I
am ok at your house. I am a little afraid of some of the rambunctious dogs at my
foster mom's house, but I would probably like a gentle, but playful friend to live
with at your house. Do you think you could take me home and make me the great
dog I should have been a long time ago?

STEWART

Hi my name is Stewart! I am a very energetic
young man. I am 10 weeks old. I have crazy wire hair that is red and white. I have
been moved from a very crowded place in Tucson to a great home here in Phx. I
am enjoying stretching my legs and running, jumping and playing with everyone. I
have met cats, but they don't want to play with me. I have met dogs big and small
and as long as they don't mind me twirling around them and asking to play I would
love to be there friend. I am working on my potting training with my new foster
mom and I am starting to get the idea, I am only 10 weeks old though so I still can
make a mistake here and there. I just need a loving forever family to take me
home and let me play!

FIVAL

Hi my name is Fival. My foster mom says I look
like a little mouse. I am a little boy about 10 weeks old. I have very very short and
thin chocolate and white hair. Maybe I'm part Hairless....I don't know for sure. I
came from the same crowded place my friend stewart is from. I love being at my
new foster mom's home, but would really love to meet my forever family. I am a
very sweet little boy. I love to play and also love to be held and snuggled. I am
working on my potty training like other puppies my age there is still some times i
forget. My mom uses puppy pads to help me when I forget. I haven't really cared
sbout my foster mom cats, but love to play with all the dogs. I am still quite little
so I just have to be careful not to get hurt. I am ready to find my FOREVER home.

If i AM part hairless, extra care is needed for me. I will be sensitive to the sun and
must have sun protection on when I am outside.

MILO

My name is Milo. I am a 7 week old little boy.
My foster mom calls me a stocky little boy. I am a playful little guy who loves to
eat! I came with stewart and fival from Tucson. I am loving the room to run
around and love exploring outside. I love to play with anyone who will play with
me, dogs, cats, kids and my foster mom. I am also working on my potty training
and will use the puppy pads if I need to. I am a very sweet and loving boy who is
waiting for his FOREVER home.

probably had a litter every time she has been in season. She is under five pounds,
but has a big personality. Willow loves to get cuddled and sit on an empty lap! She
is a little shy with humans she doesn�t know, but she warms up fairly quickly. She is
a great little mom and has taken excellent care of her puppies. Willow will make a
fabulous companion for a home with lots of love. She is a sweet gently little girl

puppies to greet me in the morning.

TINY TIM

Tiny Tim is Suzie's puppy born on March 13,
2008. He came from the puppy mill in Tucson when he was just a few hours old so
he has been raised in his foster home and has never had a hard day in his life. Tiny
Tim is playful, curious, loving and somewhat fiesty. He is the smallest in his litter
actually weighing half that of his siblings. At first we were worried he might not
make it he was so small. However, being the runt does not mean he will be smaller
than normal! He could still grow up to be the largest of the puppies, although not
likely. Tiny Tim is partially paper trained, but will need continued potty training. He
is also a chewer so will need plenty of toys to chew on and understanding as he
teeths.

SUZIE

Suzie is from the Tucson puppy mill and is
about 3-4 years old. She is a petite 4.5 pounds of curiousity, joy, and love. At first
Suzie was overwhelmed with the world after living in the mill. It took her 3 days to
walk around the backyard, 8 days to learn to run, and 10 days to finally wag her tail.
Now she is the happiest dog in town. She is pretty active, loves to play with her
foster mom and other small dogs, and is learning to walk on a leash. Despite her
horrific first years of life, Suzie has a remarkably friendly personality. She can be
shy upon first meeting a stranger, but warms up quickly. She will need an
understanding and patient home as she gets used to new surroundings yet once
again.

Please email
Kim for information on how to adopt Suzie.

BIJOU

Bijou is a young tan and white purebred
chihuahua. She is probably 1-2 years old and weighs about 5 pounds, she is
svelte!
She is nursing a young one, so will be available when she is spayed in a couple of
weeks. Bijou is one of the unfortunate breeder dogs rescued from Tucson and has
not been socialized. She is coming around, but will need love and patience to learn
to trust humans.

VITO

Hello, they call me Vito and it fits. I am a male
Chihuahua about 3.5 pounds and I am very Ruff & Tuff.. Not really!

I still need my confidence built up a bit more and everyday I seem to go in leaps
and bounds. I no longer run and hide under the sink and I even wag my tail and
cruise around the room when I get excited, my foster mom thinks that is wonderful.

I still need to be neutered and probably a week or two more of socialization. I know
it seems like a long time but look at me I am totally worth it. Okay so I am a little
camera shy but really I am so very worth it!!!

When you do finally get me, you will need to be patient and continue with my
training.

Please email you application if you are interested in me.
Thank you!

MANNY

Hello, I am Manny and I am just so ready to
be part of a forever family. Though it has been challenging for me and my peeps I
have over come my fears and can honestly say �I LIKE MY PEOPLE�

Here is what my foster mom can tell you about me. I am extremely sweet and
though I still get nervous, once I feel your kindness I melt like butter.
I will need continued training on a leash for our walks together and some potty
training but I will catch on super quick. I have been neutered, shots and micro
chipped so I am ready as can be for my new home.

I do require an application filled out then a home visit so please contact my foster
mom Stacey for additional questions or to email your application too.
Thank you!

MOLLY

Female- 1 year old. Short hair, White with
Chocolate Brown markings. I can be a Shy girl but I will warm up to you if I am
treated calmly. I weigh 5 pounds. I would love to meet you. Please let my foster
mommy know if you are interested in giving me a calm and loving home.

TINA

Tina is a blackish terrier, maybe a cairn mix,
she�s about 1.5 years old and weighs just 6lbs. She looks like a tiny Toto from the
Wizard of Oz. Tina is in great health, is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped & looking
for her forever home!
Since she obviously wasn�t socialized while at the puppy mill in Tucson, she�s still
scared but she really, really wants to be friendly & acts like a crazy puppy � all full
of energy & curiosity. Tina has really bonded with me and is learning quickly how
to do �dog� things like wear a collar, walk on a leash & listen to commands. She is
staying in a kennel while we aren't around & hasn't made any messes so I can
happily say that she is crate-trained. She is fine in her crate but is obviously much
happier when she can be out and playing.
Tina seems to be fearful of children � she tries to run away to hide and barks like
crazy because she�s scared. I believe that Tina would quickly warm up to kids if
they were old enough to treat her gently & understand she�s been through a lot in
her short life.
Tina has nipped when she feels backed into a corner by someone she�s not
comfortable with, so she will need a forever home who understands that she will
need help with socialization & building trust. Tina is so young though that I know
she will overcome her hard start in life & make someone a great friend.
If you want to give your own little Toto a chance at a happy life just click your ruby
slippers together & say �there�s no place like MY home�!

MERLIN

Merlin weaves his spell of laughter and
wonder�. YUP that�s what my foster mommy says!!! HI THERE! my name is MERLIN
and I am a wonderfully sweet boy! I will make you laugh at my antics!! I want ALL
the attention and am always the first one to the gate to greet her!! I think you
should email my foster mommy and let her know that I, Merlin am the puppy for
you!!

DREW

Hello, my name is Drew; my foster mom named
me that because I was the first one to explore like the famed �Nancy Drew�

I am a young Chihuahua girl maybe 1 or 2 years and about 4 pounds. I still run
from you and it takes me such a while to remember I do trust you but when I
remember, I love being doted on.

I have gotten very use to sleeping in bed with my foster mom and if she forgets I
am jumping on the side of the bed in the middle of the night, luckily she does not
forget to often.

I do well with the families other pets and I have just discovered how wonderful
things are to play with.. I like the doggie toys but I love my foster dad�s socks and
foster mom�s sleepers (Hee hee)

I am not potty trained so I am on a schedule to help me learn and when I am ready
to go to my new home you will need to kindly continue my work. I still need to be
spayed but once that�s done I am good to go.

I am ready for the one on one I now need to blossom into a confident curious girl.

Please email your application if you are interested in me.
Thank you!

WINKY

Hi my name is Winky. I am a 4 yr old tan and
white male. I lived in a barn in Tucson my whole life and finally have got to see the
great outdoors. When I first got rescued from my crowded home in Tucson MY
eyes where all squinty and were very scratchy and dry. The kind people who
rescued me started me on eye antibiotics and medications for a condition called
dry eye, now I can finally go outside and not have to "wink" all the time. I haven't
had much time with the kind people who rescued me but every day I become more
and more interested in being friends. I now even like giving my foster mom kisses!

I am being potty trained, but still am working on that. I love going outside and
playing in the grass! I have not yet tried walking on a leash, but hear it is quite fun
to go on walks. I'm not sure I like to do much but bark at these things called cats,
so my foster mom thinks my next home should not have any cats. I do, however,
love to play with other dogs and I am learning to play with people too.

I need a FOREVER home that will help teach me how to be a real dog! I am a very
sweet and loving boy who is waiting for his FOREVER home.

DORA

About Me: I am female, 2 years old. I weigh
about 4 1/2 lbs. I am from the Tucson 800. I am very shy, but sweet. I love the
company dogs and I am learning to love people. My foster mom and dad are
working with me on socialization. I must go into a home with another small dog(s)
(Under 20 lbs) as I do not like to be alone. I do like to be petted and talked to
softly.
I am a special girl who needs someone who is willing to be patient with me as I
learn to trust them. I cannot go into a home with any children as I have been
known
to snap when I am scared. I like to eat dry food and currently eat Solid Gold �Wee
Bits� which I like very much. I also like wet food and love the Solid Gold canned
Lamb and Rice. I must be on a leash when I go outside, even in your backyard
because I get spooked really easily and will hide/burrow in the bushes and its hard
to get me out. I am a very sweet, timid and shy Chihuahua looking for the perfect
forever home. I will make the perfect lap dog with someone who enjoys watching
TV
or reading in the evenings, I need a quiet home. A home visit is required in order to
adopt me.

SOPHIE

Meet little Sophie. She is such a sweet little
girl. She is 3yrs old and weighs 7.5lbs.She gets along great with other dogs ,cats,
and kids. She is potty trained and crate trained and loves her treats. If you are
looking for a very calm and sweet little girl Sophie is the one for you. Sophie came
to us with very bad allergies but is all better now thanks to her allergy meds and no
grain dog food.

Please email
Az Chihuahua Rescue for information on how to adopt Sophie.

DIXIE

AMBER

Amber is a joy. She is about three years old
and weighs 6 pounds. Until she came to stay with us I don�t think she had ever been
outside. Now, she loves to take a sun bath and sprint around the yard! Amber
came with two puppies and is a great mom, but now I think she is ready for
someone to take care of her. It takes Amber a little while to trust people, but
everyday she becomes more and more trusting. Amber does well with other dogs�
and did I mention she is very clever?

PETIE

This little guy is sweet and cuddly. He is great
with kids, cats and other dogs. His great personality surpasses his cute almost mini
pitbull look. Petie would be wonderful for any family.

BROWNIE

Brownie, what can I say about this little
chocolate girl. She is playful but a little shy. She can be a little talkative at times but
she is just wonderful. Great with cats, kids and other dogs.

ROMEO

My name is Romeo and I�m a 6 months old
baby boy. I am a Chihuahua and Japanese Chin mix with short hair. I came from
Tucson but just recently switched foster homes because I�m ready for my forever
home. I was a little nervous at first in my new home so I would hide under the
furniture but my foster sister helped ease my transition. Now I feel right at home
being a puppy.
I love to run and play and then have my belly rubbed. I�m learning to walk with a
leash and sometimes I run so fast that my foster mom has to run too so the leash
doesn�t pull me back. I think that�s so funny. My foster family took me to Munds
Park and while we were walking on the golf coarse we saw an elk. He walked right
by us and I stood very tall and brave. He looked at me and I looked at him but I did
not bark because I didn�t want to scare him away. My foster mom said I was such a
good boy!
I�m almost potty trained but I still have some accidents. I love chewing on rawhides
and I think I�m getting the hang of playing fetch. My foster mom tells me I�m a
sweetie pie and I just know that I will make someone very happy.

GISELLE

Giselle will win your heart because the best
word to describe her is sweetheart!! Giselle is a quiet little girl. It took her almost
a
week and a half to open up to her foster mom, but now I get sweet puppy kisses
on
a regular basis. She is pretty fearful of people that she doesn't know and will run
behind me when she is scared, but she is not bitey or growly. She isn't one who
likes to be piked up or held all that much, but she likes to see me at all times. She
will follow me around the house and just lay there until it is time to go to the next
room. The only time that I have ever heard her bark in almost two weeks is when
she has to share her foster mom's bed with her feline sister! Other than that, she
could care less about the rest of the pack and cats! So she might be best in a one
pet household with someone who can give her a lot of attention. She rides well in
cars and she almost has the potty training completed. She is such a good girl! She
is supposed to be around 4 years old and she weighs about 4.5lbs. Before she can
be adopted, she will need a trip to the vet to be spayed and have a dental in a
major way! Even though she has bad teeth, it does not stop her from chewing on
the chew sticks!

GARTH

My foster mom brought me to the valley from
Tucson. I was rescued from the home with 800 dogs and am so glad to be out of
there. My birthdate is around March 9th. I am black and tan. I am about 2 pounds
and love to play and tease with other pups. I am ready to be spoiled and loved in
my new forever home. I would probably do well with at least one other dog.

MOUSE

Male apx 8-9 weeks old. Tan with black
overlay. I weigh almost one full pound! My foster mommy says I AM SO CUTE! I
need to see the vet to get another set of shots then I will be ready for adoption.
Speak up now if you are interested in me!!! email my foster mommy. THANKS!!

DANTE AND SKETCH

Hi, our names are Dante and Sketch. We
are buddies we are between 1 and 2 years old.

We were really shy and scared at first but now we are like little puppys running
around, playing with toys, I (Dante) always want to sit on my foster moms lap when
she is at the computer she has really made me feel safe especially where I came
from.

I Sketch am still a little skittish, but I will sleep on a pillow by you and I will lick
your
hand.I was a little thin but my foster mom has done good, we are both puppy pad
trained and we love pupperoni treats!!

If you are looking for two great boys we are it, if you can, please take both of us
because we are really close but, if not my foster mom says that we have been
doing
really well without eachother to, we are becoming very independent.

VANDA

My name is Vanda (my foster mom says I
remind her of the delicate & beautiful Vanda Orchid). I was rescued by this group
along with my previous kennel-mate Georgia back in March 08. At first Georgia
and I were very attached and were afraid to be apart from each other. But over time
we have gotten older and less dependent upon each other......that is no longer the
case so my foster mom believes we would do fine if adopted separately.

I am still a bit timid and shy....but I do warm up nicely with a little time (I was shy
with my foster mom at first, but now I like her company). I am quiet and very
submissive.......... but I do like to play. What I like better though is to cuddle up with
my person and be pet and loved. I weigh around 3 1/2 lbs and I am delicately built.
I am around 9 months old and I still have a small open fontanel (molera). My vet
says it may or may not close....only time will tell. So I have to be a bit more careful
that I don't get bopped on the head or fall on my head.....but I'm not made of glass
either...I'm pretty sturdy for my size. I do find comfort in the company of dogs and
it would be preferable to have one in my new home....but it needs to be around my
size or only a tiny bit bigger. I will not be adopted to a home where there are young
children.

I am undergoing treatment to get rid of Giardia and when that is done I will be
ready to be adopted. I had a very sad start in life, down in Tucson.....I look forward
to getting my own family and having a great life from now on!

GEORGIA

Hello there! My name is Georgia (I'll always
be on your mind). I was rescued by this group along with my previous kennel-mate
Vanda back in March 08. At first Vanda and I were very attached and were afraid to
be apart from each other. But over time we have gotten older and less dependent
upon each other......that is no longer the case so my foster mom believes we would
do fine if adopted separately.

I am a very curious and adventuresome pup....I am around 9 months old now and
am anxious to be able to explore this new world. My foster mom says I'm an alpha
female (whatever that means). I'm all about play...what a great thing!....play with
toys, or another dog or a person. But I also like to give lots of sweet puppy kisses
and I love to get pet, and have my belly rubbed (yup...this is good). I weigh around
5 1/2 lbs and I am full of energy. I need to go to a home that has at least one other
dog because I am very comfortable around canines. But, the other dog needs to be
near my size or only a little bit bigger. I also need a home with no young children.

I am undergoing treatment to get rid of Giardia and when that is done I will be
ready to be adopted. I had a very sad start in life with that Tucson bunch...I look
forward to getting my own family and having a great life from now on!

LUCIE (TUCSON 800
RESCUE)

Hello there! Nice to meet you! My name is Lucie. I
am about 5 years old, female, and I weigh about 5 lbs. I am very, very timid around
people because I haven't had much human contact, but sometimes when foster
mommy sits down on the ground, and talks really sweet to me, I JUMP in her lap and
kiss her arm. Just, don't chase me around because that is SCARY! I would do best in
a home with no children (or atleast age 12+) because sometimes I snarl when I get
startled. My favorite thing to do is lay with my other foster sisters and take naps.
