A heart warming story between the Chihuahua Rescue team and these cute, loving little animals. We have a 15 years old chihuahua at home, thought he is old, he is still quite aggressive sometime. However, I think it is aggressiveness is because of its protective instinct. As described in the story, yappy little chihuahuas are actually quite brave.

Southern California actually has the largest homeless Chihuahua populations, a fact I did not realize til today. Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego is doing a great thing by helping all these Chihuahuas:

“What happened was movies came out, and Paris (Hilton) and all these little starlets were carrying them around, and people thought they’d make money off them,” she said. “Southern California seems to be the Chihuahua capital, but Southern California is euthanizing 300 to 400 a week.”

San Diego County’s proximity to Mexico makes the breed easy to obtain. But when locals realize the cost of spaying and neutering or start to worry about how the dog will act around a new baby, they get rid of their pets.

And I totally agree with the writer: “Chihuahuas get kicked around and thrown out, and all they do is love you,” Pollock said. “You take an abused dog, feed it, take care of it, and within two days, that dog would kill a dinosaur for you.”
