    Welcome to AZ Chihuahua Rescue

AZ Chihuahua Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization. Our network consists of experienced rescue people who were previously doing rescue independently and realize the benefits of joining together and combining resources.

We believe there is a home for every dog we foster. Some just take a little longer to find. Most dogs spend at least a short time in foster care so we can evaluate their behaviors in a home setting. We can give potential adopters information on how the dog may interact with cats, children, men, women, other dogs, and so on. These are vital components to a good match. We also try to improve potty training skills if they are not already house trained. Our foster homes provide good nutrition and an understanding lap to prepare our dogs for life in a world where fear and starvation are non-existent.
    Our Purpose
  • To rescue, rehabilitate and place chihuahuas into stable, loving homes

  • To educate the public about the responsibilities of chihuahua ownership in an attempt to alleviate the problem of unwanted pets

  • To build public awareness about the human-animal bond and its benefits to society

 
Destiny

Donations Needed





















Meet Destiny. She is 2 years old. She came from a county shelter on the euthanasia list. She is the most adorable little red medium hair chihuahua who weighed a measly 4 pounds when she came to us. She was skin and bones, and you could feel every bone in her body. Someone left Destiny in a back yard after they moved out and she stayed there alone for three weeks in the cold, without food and without water before the neighbors found her and took her in the the shelter. Arizona Chihuahua Rescue came to pick her up and immediately knew something was wrong. She wouldn't eat, she barely had energy to walk and she was extremely lethargic. She went to the vet and they discovered during an X-Ray that she had fluid in her chest. They extracted 100cc's of fluid. She has been scheduled for an ultra sound which will take place on Feb 15, 2011. She is very sick, but still sweet enough to give her foster mom kisses after all of the neglect. If this story touches a nerve with you, please help her by donating to Arizona Chihuahua Rescue in care of Destiny. We will update you on the outcome for this little girl. Please send positive thoughts for her.


Update Feb 25, 2012-

Destiny is still with us and fighting for her life. She is still loosing weight and eats very little at a time. After an X-ray, and ultrasound, and lots of blood tests, our vet determined that her body had just shut down due to starvation. There was no underlying condition that would cause her to be sick. This is the worst part of this story that someone did this to her! And even though she was mistreated by her human, she is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet! Destiny is a fighter, she has a lot of people pulling for her, but she still needs more positive thoughts and if you can donate anything to her care, please, please donate in care of Destiny. We are a 501c3 so everything you are able to give will be tax deductible!

Update:05/05/12-

It is with a heavy heart to tell you that Destiny has passed over the rainbow bridge tonight. Our only solstice is that for the last months of her life she knew what love was. Thank you so much to her foster mommy Joyce and her Auntie Amiee whom did everything in their power to ensure that she was pain and care free. Destiny, you will be missed immensely by everyone how met you and heard your story.

VOLUNTEER FOSTER HOMES NEEDED



We are in desperate need for foster homes!

If you have the time or the space in your heart to help out one or two of these darling little bundles of fur, we (and they) would be forever grateful. It truly is a heartwarming and humbling experience to know that you are helping a little friend
in need.

This would be an ideal volunteer position for anyone who can spare some time to give love to one of our little dogs while they are waiting for their forever home. If you have never known a chihuahua, you will quickly grow a “big heart” for these little dogs!

Most dogs spend at least a short time in foster care so we can evaluate their behaviors in a home setting. We can give potential adopters information on how the dog may interact with cats, children, men, women, other dogs, and so on. These are vital components to a good match.
