Riley
Estimated Birthday
June 25, 2004
Riley
was found as a stray in Albuquerque and we can only guess, because of
his injuries, that he was hit by a car. He had surgery to repair a
broken leg but has recovered incredibly well. He loves to run and play
in the back yard with the other Chihuahuas but really enjoys lounging
with his foster family at the end of the day. Riley is a terrific little
dog that will make a loving companion for a home with other small dogs
or a family that can provide some activity to keep him busy.
About
three years old and around nine pounds, Riley has been in foster care
for over a year and needs to find a family of his own to give him the
love he deserves.

Alabama
and Banjo
Birthday January 13, 2008.
These
two tiny little buttons were born on January 13th to our lovely Susanna.
The owner surrendered momma to us to make sure the puppies would be born
in a safe place. They were worried that the puppies might have to be
taken by caesarian because they think daddy was a bigger dog. The
puppies were born naturally, but the third little sister only lived for
a couple of days. A heart break for all of us. We have the ashes of
little “Susanna Angel" in our memorial niche.
We
don’t know how big these little sweeties will grow up to be, but they
are cute as they can be right now. There is no doubt they will grow up
to be incredible little dogs. Momma is one of the sweetest Chihuahuas
and the foster mom gave them a lot of attention. We want to adopt them
together since they have been such a wonderful pair to keep each other
company and into and out of trouble.

Smith
and Wesson
Birthday
approx April 15, 2008.
Owner
released because they couldn’t keep them and wanted our rescue to find
them good (really good) homes. They are ready to go to foster to adopt
homes where they can bond with their family while they are still
puppies.
Smith
is a dark fawn with heavy black sabling, Wesson is a reverse brindle.
According to their owner, their mother is six pounds and dad is five
pounds. They weighed just over a pound at eight weeks of age. They are
happy little boys and should do well in a home with school aged children
and preferably a home where they will not be left alone for more than
four or five hours at a time so they can be socialized and housetrained.
Adoption
will be completed after they are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

Finnegan
Birthday
approx May 18, 2007
There
isn’t really much to say about Finnegan except that he was a stray in
Valencia County and no one reclaimed him or adopted him before his time
was up. He wasn’t injured or old or sick, just lost. We took him as a
rescue transfer and think we found a diamond in the rough.
Fin
is a happy and active little dog with lots of personality. He has no
problem keeping the Huskies in line and struts his stuff with the horses
and goats, as well. He enjoys the company of otherd dogs and playful
cat. He spends time on his foster dad’s lap unless the foster mom is
home.
At
only five pounds this little fellow is full of himself now that he has
settled into his foster home. If you are looking for a little spice in
your life and think you can give this little guy a run for his money
fill out the application and ask about Finnegan. He is an incredible
little dog!

Trucker
II
Birthday
approx November 11, 2007.
Picked
up as a stray in Los Lunas, this sweet boy was adopted after the three
day holding period. His new family took him home to several young
children. The older kids did well with him, but the youngest thought he
made a great speed bump for this Tonka toys. When he objected the new
family brought him back to the shelter. That made him an owner release
and he was scheduled to be euthanized the next day. Thank goodness we
were there to take him into rescue. He deserves a chance for a good
home.
We
named him Trucker and think he is a wonderful dog. The other dogs bully
him a bit because he is so submissive. That reinforces our policy of not
adopting our dogs to homes with children under school age. Kids can be
too rough with sensitive dogs and the dog takes the rap. Good boy
Trucker!

Raymond
Estimated
Birthday June 10, 2007
Raymond
looks like an Egyptian dog owned by royalty. He has golden eyes and a
gorgeous sleek coat of strawberry blond with white accents. He is
a young adult, weighing just over six pounds of puppy energy.
Raymond loves his toys but he also loves almost anything he can get into
his mouth. His personal favorite is tissues, which he tears up in
to tiny pieces and strews all over the house. He is at the chewing
stage and needs good chewy toys. He also will lick you and do
puppy mouthing.
He
will use pee-pee pads if they are available. Learning to walk on a
leash, “Ray Ray” still needs some improvement in his social skills.
He is sweet as can be and enjoys his time with people and other dogs.
With a lust for life this little guy runs around the yard like a madman!
Raymond
was found as a stray and was not reclaimed before his time was up at the
shelter. How anyone could let go of such a beautiful little guy is
beyond understanding. Given his puppy like behaviors we think that
he would do best in a family that has had experience in raising a puppy
or is eager to learn how to become a well adjusted dog loving home.

Hopalong
Cassidy
Estimated
Birthday May 28, 2004
Hopalong
Cassidy (aka Hop, Hoppy, Hip Hop) is an extremely handsome golden
Chihuahua mix. He has a wonderful, sweet personality and is as
mellow as can be. He believes that cuddling up with a person is
about the best.
Hoppy
is about 4 years old and weighs eight pounds. He and his cat friend had
to be removed from his home because his owner had Dementia and was
unable to care for them. Hoppy’s only fault is that he is a
runner! He can get out a door as fast as a bunny - even though he
only has three legs! However, he is not the least bit impaired by this.
He goes on long walks, can jump up on the bed, and chase his foster
buddies. He does not know that he should have a right front leg as
well as a left one.
Hopalong
gets along well with men and women, other small dogs and we believe he
does well with cats. He would do best in a household where there
are no small children and where he can get a lot of cuddle time.

Alejandro
Birthday approx May 5, 2007.
One
of our volunteers was pulling up to the front of WalMart in Belen and
saw an elderly man setting up a lawn chair and a sign offering a “Free
Chihuahua.” His story was that another person had given him the dog
because they couldn’t care for him. He found that a young pup was more
than he bargained for, too. Cheryl didn’t want this sweet little guy
get passed on again so arranged to get him into our program so we could
find him a quality home that will appreciate and love him forever.
His
foster mom, Cheryl, says: “Alejandro is not your typical high energy
Chihuahua. He is very calm and prefers to be by my side whenever
possible. I have not heard him bark at all and he does well crated at
night or when I am gone. He is a bit of an escape artist and found tiny
holes in my fence, but came back to the front door to be let in! He only
tried to mark territory in the house once but when I told him no he
immediately stopped. Alex gets along well with my big dogs and the cats.
He is a sensitive, smart dog and does not need much discipline to
understand what I want from him. He seems emotionally well rounded and
likes affection but does not seem to be needy. He is a great dog!”

Brett
Birthday approx September 7, 2006.
His
elderly owner brought Brett to the Valencia County Animal Shelter
because he had to go to the hospital and had no one to care for his dog.
Having already survived Parvo as a puppy, this was the second
devastating challenge in his life. After three days and no one
interested in adopting him, Brett was close to losing his life again.
This
marvelous little dog is full of energy and a lust for life. His eyes
hold the worry of life at its worst, but his tail and enthusiasm show
his will to survive. If you are looking
for an athletic companion who can lift your spirits and test your metal

Dara
Birthday approx May 5, 2005.
This
beautiful little girl was mauled by a neighbors dog as she followed her
young owners down the street in their neighborhood. She had two sets of
puncture wounds from all four canines of the big dog that attacked her.
Punctures and tears from shoulder to shoulder and flank to flank. She
was seconds away from death when the dog let her go.
The
family contacted the emergency vet and found that they could not afford
to have her injuries treated. The were referred to us and asked if we
would take her into our rescue and save her life. Our darling Dara was
the second dog that week that we took in because of injuries by big
dogs. She was luckier than Hawthorn who will probably have long term
lameness from his attack.
Dara
is doing very well, but will have scares from her encounter. However, it
has not changed her lovely personality and love for people. She does not
seem to have an issue with any of the small dogs in her foster home, but
we will have to see how she feels about big dogs. . . Dara weighs about
seven pounds.

Coco
Puffs-Mini Mouse
Birthday approx April 12, 2000.
OK,
how can an eight year old, pregnant, little bitty thing like this be
found as a stray? The alternate report we got was that she was picked
up, along with the children in the home near by. We will never learn the
whole story but enough is clear that she was not in a good place.
She
delivered two puppies by caesarian section while at the shelter, but
they both died a couple of days later. She was terribly over weight and
had flea bite dermatitis, with most of the hair on her rear end missing.
With all of her health issues and horrible life she has somehow managed
to keep an incredible attitude.
At
just under 5 pounds “Mini Mouse” is packed full of energy and a
bizzillion kisses. Her effervescence keeps bubbling over from morning to
night. She is pure delight!
Obviously
she needs a mature home that can keep her safe from young children and
larger dogs. She also needs someone who can spend endless hours basking
in her sunny personality.

Dexter
Birthday
approx March 3, 2005.
While
working in her mothers yard in Peralta, a woman and her friend found a
Chihuahua hiding in the brush by the ditch bank. They took him
door-to-door but no one recognized him. They called the shelter to
report him found, but they had not received a report of a dog of his
description. They took him home to their apartment in Albuquerque and
waited to see if his owners would call. After a few days they decided to
ask if we could take him in because they couldn’t keep a dog there and
were going on vacation soon.
We
posted him with the shelters, in the paper and the local Village office
- to no avail. So, little Dexter is looking for a new home. About three
years old and just six pounds, this meek little boy is just dying to
find a sensitive someone who will let him snuggle and kiss away their

Faith
Hill
Birthday approx May 19, 2004.
A
puppy mill in Artesia released several of their breeding dogs to the
shelter because they were over their limit. Faith Hill was one of the
lucky ones to get out before she was bred to death. She was probably
surrendered because her ears don’t stand up, or she may have only had
small littlers, or any one of a dozen other reasons a breeder would get
rid of a dog. Obviously the standards in their kennel are not AKC breed
standards.
OK,
off the soap box, for now. This poor little dog has been neglected of
love and socialization that she would have had in a good home. She is
timid and will need to be adopted by someone who is willing to work past
her early experiences and turn her into a loving pet instead of a
manufacturing plant. (Oops, sorry, got back up on the box for a
second there). She would do best in a home with only one or two other
dogs so she can get the one-on-one
she needs to blossom. Just look into those big brown eyes and imagine
your reflection there.

Goldilocks
Birthday September 17, 2007
Goldilocks
was surrendered by her owner because she (the owner) is in poor health.
She has several other dogs but felt it would be best for “Goldie” to
be placed with rescue. The owner has both the mother, a Chihuahua, and
the father, a Pomeranian.
The
owner also knew that she had a heart murmur that she could not afford to
have corrected. Our veterinarian thought at first that it might be
operable and we were willing to try. However, he says that the problem
is more than he is able to repair. He thinks she has a small hole
between two chambers of her heart.
She
was spayed and bounced back in less than twelve hours. She runs like
crazy and is one of the most affectionate and happy dogs you will ever
meet. She is a wild and crazy child!
How
old will she live to be? We don’t know. We anticipate that it will be
less than the 14 to 16 year norm for Chihuahuas. We just don’t know.
But we do know that whatever life span she has her owner will be
rewarded with the happiest kisses, and sweetest face, waggiest tail and
a lifetime of delightful memories of this sweet child.
Adopt
this sweet baby and you will never regret it.

Hawthorn
Birthday approx May 1, 2006.
There
are so many shelter animals in need of rescue but we can only do so
much. Because we are a Chihuahua Rescue we have to turn down a lot of
dogs we wish we could help, but don’t have the funds or the room.
However, sometimes we just walk away. So we took in Hawthorn.
Someone
flagged down animal control and handed them a dog bundled up in towels.
They said they found him injured and couldn’t take him to the vet. He
was in the shelter for about two hours when we came in to do the weekly
photos for the local paper. It only took a minute to decide to call our
vet and get him emergency treatment. He had a two and a half inch open
gash behind his right front leg and was obviously in pain. We rushed him
to our vet where he crashed on the table but was revived. After surgery
we learned he had been mauled by a dog.
Probably
more Doxie than Chihuahua, Hawthorn is a very submissive sweet little
guy. It appears that this isn’t his first injury. His left foot is
larger and more splayed than his right, indicating he had a limp before
this attack. Despite his injuries he is a loving little ten pound,
Chocolate treat. You will just want to eat him up! When he is really
happy he roll up his lip and gives a big smile showing all of his front
teeth! What a sweetie pie.

care for her pets.
This
precious little angel is about ten years old and only weighs 3.5 pounds.
A sweetheart with a terrific personality that only wants to be held and
snuggled.
She
deserves a mature home where she can live out her remaining years

mill background.
We
had her mammary tumors removed and a dental done while she was under
being spayed. But we can’t remove the sad life she was born into,
almost bred to death.
Reba
is in a foster home where she is learning that people can offer her love

Scruffy
was adopted from the Valencia County Shelter along with his siblings.
After a few days he was returned because he had Demodex Mange and
Ringworm. Their veterinarian said it would cost to much to treat him so
he should be returned to the shelter. So they did.
We
decided he needed a second chance to get healthy, happy and find a
loving home. We put him on several rounds of medication and special
baths to kill the mites and fungus that was making him miserable
physically. But nothing stopped his enthusiasm for life! He is a prancey,
dancey, handsome little boy!
We
think we have conquered the critters that were attacking his body. He
will probably need high quality food and lots of extra love and
attention to help his immune system suppress the nasties of the world.
But what a wonderful, loving, playful little boy. He was worth the
effort to give him a healthy and happy life.

Tia
Birthday approx May 17, 2007
Just
a puppy herself, pretty Tia is pregnant by either “Vinnie” the
Chihuahua or “Max” the ShihTzu - or both. Her owner has dementia and
was no longer able to care for his three dogs so surrendered them to the
Artesia rescue. They asked us to take her, as it seemed she was ready to
give birth. The previous owner said she had been bred “two or three
months ago”. Since it is about 60 days for delivery, it seemed like a
good idea to get her into a safe and quiet place.
Tia
is not quite ready to have her puppies yet, but it will be soon. We hope
it will be a natural delivery and she won’t have to go through a
caesarean. A very loving dog, full of puppy kisses and tail wags, Tia
will a great dog for a family with school aged children. We think she is
mostly Chihuahua with more than a dash of Dachshund.

Tinka
Birthday approx April 1, 2004.
Handed
from family to family we don’t know where she came from or how she
ended up in the family that released her to us. They just said that she
was nippy with the kids. They have four children of their own and two
they babysit - all under the age of five. With so many young children
tormenting her and the other inconsistencies in her life, Tinka has
built a defensive wall with strangers. It takes her at least three or
four days to come out of her kennel and start to get to know new people
in her life.
She
has been in two foster homes and one foster to adopt home looking for
the right match. It will take a person who is willing to give her time
to adjust and understands her needs to bring her around to being the
loving dog she is in her current foster home.
If
you are looking for a gorgeous little longhair dog and have a patient
and quiet home you really need to consider Tinka. We will not adopt her
to a family with children. She is fine with the other foster dogs and
would do well with one or two other small dogs as companions. Tinka

Vinnie
Birthday approx January 17, 2006.
We
were concerned that Vinnie was going to be a tough guy because he has
huge scars from an attack by a neighbor dog. They say a Pit Bull mangled
him through the fence. The owner didn’t have him treated for his
injuries, but they have healed well - we just will have to wait and see
if the hair grows back.
In
the meantime, the owner released Vinnie and Tia, along with a ShihTzu to
the shelter. We think Vinnie or the ShihTzu are the father of her
puppies (to be born the end of May). Our guess is that Vinnie was being
macho and protecting his girl friend. But, he is terrific with people
and immediately got along with all of the foster dogs - mostly males.
Vinnie

and a dental. He is a grand little dog with a tremendous presence. No

What

longhair (but not a fuzzy coat), sparkling, delightful little dog. He is
perpetually happy.
We
took Yazzie from the Valencia County shelter. He had been found as a
stray and adopted but returned because he had a tummy problem and the
veterinarian thought it might be an impaction, which the new owners
could not afford to treat. Whatever it was it passed without further
treatment after we took him into rescue.
Yazzie
is truly a terrific little dog. He lets little Goldilocks chew on his
ears and grabs a toy and plays keep-away with the other foster dogs.
Yazzie can climb a three foot wire fence and zooms around the yard like
a crazy man. He will need a home that has a large , securely fenced yard
or is willing to go for long walks or jogs. He is an extra special

Artie
Birthday approx January 10, 2007.
The
men working at the oil field saw this little fellow just before
Christmas and started leaving out food for him. They could see he had an
injured leg but didn’t know where he came from. They were finally able
to befriend him and took him to the Artesia Humane Society in the hope
that someone would take him in and care for his injury.
It
appears that his right hind leg was run over - his toes were crushed and
his knee had extreme trauma. The knee has healed well enough that our
veterinarian feels it is best to leave it alone. However, we removed
most of the fractured bones to the first joint of his foot. We had
worried that we would have to amputate his leg, but it seems, so far,
that he will only loose his toes.
Our
best guess is that he is a young Chihuahua x Jack Russell Terrier. He is
a sweet little guy that loves to be loved and has a terrific “make
the
best of life” attitude. He should weigh about twelve pounds when he
fills out.
UPDATE:
We felt that the injury to his knee was causing him discomfort and so he
was twisting his foot with every step. The pad of his foot would not
heal and the way he would lay down lead us to believe he would be more
comfortable without his injured limb. He had his leg removed and seems
to be happier for the surgery. It certainly has not slowed him down!
He
is crate trained and appears to be house-broken. He is crazy about
playing outside with the other dogs and gets along with the cats. He is
a sunshine loving boy that needs a loving home.

Galveston and Houston
Galveston
(on left) ADOPTED!
6/18/2008
Birthday approx November 1, 2007
One
of our volunteers stopped at our local shelter and called to say that they had a Chihuahua having seizures. Someone reported the
dog had been a stray in the area and she was seizing. Animal control
went and picked her up. The family handed them two one week old puppies
and said they were hers.
It
had been several hours since the little mother was reported and a couple
more since she was at the shelter. We discussed the chances of her
surviving without brain damage after so many hours of continuous
seizures and decided it would most humane to euthanize her. Out of
respect for her life we gave her a name - Texas Rose.
We
said we would take the puppies and bottle feed them and hope for the
best. We named them Galveston and Houston. Texas Rose was a black and
tan long legged Chihuahua cross. We have no information about the
father, but it seems he might have been a cow dog mix. The two little
cowboys are marked like Heelers- sort of . . .. They are super friendly
and pretty darn cute. We think they will grow up to be about 12 to 15
pounds. They have been given the best of care and are ready to look for
loving homes.

Cody
II
Birthday
approx January 14, 2002.
Just
out of space and out of time, Cody was out of luck at the Clovis
shelter. He caught a ride to Albuquerque where he was transferred to our
rescue. It seemed like he might have an injury of sort, but nothing
showed up in his blood profile or exam. We decided to just wait and see.
It
took a couple of weeks, but he started to perk up and act like a hppy
dog. Perhaps there was some horrible accident that left him on the
streets. Perhaps he lost a family that he loved. We don’t know what
caused him to be so depressed.
Cody
is a very sturdy fellow with a serious take on life. We think he will
make a great companion for a home that wants a quiet friend. Cody enjoys
the company of other dogs, a soft bed and gentle hugs.
UPDATE:
Cody loves to be held and cradled like a baby in his foster mom’s
arms. He loves tummy rubs and giving kisses in her ear. Though he is a
bit stand offish with strangers, his foster mom - a dog trainer - is
working with him to be gracious with visitors. Cody is going to make a
great companion for someone looking for an old soul to stroll through
life with for the next decade or so.

Daisy
Duke
Birthday approx April 27, 2000.
The
owners rushed little Daisy to the emergency clinic because she has a
seizure. The ER did x-rays and saw a mass in her intestines. Unable to
afford surgery if it was necessary they released her to the clinic to be
placed with rescue to see her through her health issue.
Our
veterinarian did another x-ray the following morning and the mass was no
longer visible. Perhaps it was something she ate that dissolved. We
hoped whatever it was it had triggered the seizure. However, she had
another episode a few days later. She is currently on Phenobarbital and
we will slowly wean her off to see if this was an isolated occurrence.
We have been lucky in the past and hope she will follow suit. In the
meantime, she is in a foster home that feeds home-cooked food and has a
lovely yard for her to play with the other foster dogs.
Her
incredible personality makes this little gal worth the effort to save
her. She will make a sweet little love for someone who is willing to
take a risk and give their heart to a little one in need.

kisses and hugs. He is a true prince of a dog.

Brutus
Birthday
approx May 10, 2006.
Brutus
is almost too cute for words. Unbelievable that this little darling was
found wandering the streets in southern New Mexico. He was probably
looking for a girl friend because he wasn’t neutered. He is a tiny bit
timid, but then he is a tiny four pound dog! Brutus gets along well with
the other foster dogs and is OK with adults if they don’t rush him.
His
coat is a lovely blue and cream, he has huge ears and huge eyes. As
dainty as he is we are looking for a home with older, or no children,
and calm pets. Having repaired broken legs on over a half a dozen tiny
dogs (at about $1,500 each) we do not want to risk putting him in an
active, multi-pet home.

Joey
II
Birthday
approx May 10, 1998.
Don’t
know where to begin on this little fellow. . . He was picked up as
a stray in Albuquerque. He is a tiny little guy, about three and a half
pounds, with a big attitude with strangers. Once he gets to know you he
is a silly boy, ready to cuddle and snuggle.
Joey
is about ten years old, or so we think. He has only one tooth left and
his face is gray. We wonder how he came to be a stray at his mature age.
He was intact, so maybe he was simply looking for a girlfriend. We also
don’t know how he came to have a head tilt. We hope it is just an
inner ear problem that we can treat.
This
tiny little man is so cute it is hard to take his macho behaviors
seriously. In the right home, he won’t have to play the game and will
be able to live out the rest of his years in his new owners lap or
nestled under the covers at night.

Rojo
Birthday
approx August 10, 2007.
His
bright red coat gave him the name Rojo. He weighted only 4 pounds when
he came to us in May. We think he will be about six pounds when full
grown, no way to know just yet. We think he was about nine months old at
the time. He is still very active, since he is still a puppy. We
are working on house training and building his confidence with new
people. He loves to play with several of the other foster dogs.
A
delightful little boy, Rojo is ready to be adopted now. He is neutered,
vaccinated, microchipped and on heartworm preventative. Isn’t he just
too darn cute?!
