This 6-years old skating board riding Chihuahua made the news not because her special talent, but because she was give up by previous owner to shelter (financial reason). She hasn't been taking care properly either for she has some health issue. It is nice to see that this very "sweet and shy" chihuahua finally found a new home!
From Joe's Blog:
I’ve had a canine sidekick for years, but when I moved to Southern California from my native Iowa about a year and a half ago, I had to leave my dog Libby (also a rescue) behind until I got settled in; my parents took her in. It was always my intention to bring her out here, but during that time my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and Libby proved to be a strong positive influence in mom’s life and she is completely attached – there is simply no way I could bring Libby to CA without breaking her heart. Mom and dad have adopted Libby as their own, so I have been thinking about adopting a small dog that would fit me well.
When I saw the NBC 4 story and this video of Chiquita, I immediately contacted the shelter. I heard back from Isha Willits with the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, who suggested I come up and see her in person. I did, and tonight Chiquita is sleeping on my lap as I write this blog. It was love at first sight!
The shelter also gave me the doggie skateboard, which she absolutely loves. Some friends are going to help me build her a new one! In preparation for my adoption today she had to get some shots and a microchip, so it was a long day for Chiquita, but she wanted some skateboarding time, and I took her for a stroll and short ride. She was an immediate hit with the neighbors. You can read rest of the story from Joe's blog.
Checkout the video that was posted before Chiquita found a home. So cute!
