My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**This is a courtesy listing for Frosted Faces, Vintage Paws Animal Rescue**
Say hello to Chico! Chico is a senior gentleman, looking for a forever family to love him just the way he is, but also help him along his weight-loss journey. Chico came to the rescue with another dog, when their former family was no longer able to care for them due to health issues. The family was going to have Chico and his pal, Maggie, euthanized because they had nowhere for the dogs to go. Chico came to the shelter very overweight, at almost 33 pounds. We are proud to say that Chico has already lost almost four pounds during his time at rescue! Chico is approximately ten-years-old and is an easy-going fella. He enjoys a short walk around the block, a sniff in the sunshine, and a snooze on a soft bed. Chico is friendly with people and will gently approach you for pets, tail wagging. He is tolerant of other dogs and wouldn't mind another chill buddy in his forever family. Chico gets annoyed with the younger dogs at rescue, when they're all up in his business (who can blame him?!), but he does enjoy going on a walk or trotting around the yard with another chill buddy. Bring your dog from home in to say hello to Chico! If you have a heart for senior dog and are looking to help a special dog in need, please come meet our Chico! Chico is up to date on his vaccinations and previously neutered. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment.

More about this rescue

"Chi Town" is short for "Chihuahua Town," which is our nick-name because we found that the majority of animals we were rescuing happened to be Chihuahuas and literally have a little “town” comprised of Chihuahuas! Chihuahuas are one of the most over-bred dogs in Arizona and unfortunately many end up in need of rescue. However, we are not limited to saving just Chihuahas, we do save other breeds dependent on availability of space. Chi Town also specializes in rescuing dogs who require a little extra TLC and are at risk of euthanasia at county shelters. These dogs may not be doing well for a variety of reasons- fear, fear aggression, anxiety, or a medical issue to name a few. These are the dogs that typically have no other outlet and for which time is of the essence . After our dogs are medically cleared and/or their behavioral issues have improved, they are available for adoption.

Please be aware that we do our very best to answer all questions in a timely manner.

We are always seeking to help promote these special Chihuahuas who are too often overlooked in AZ shelters due to the sheer volume of this breed. Please share and like us on Facebook:
