My story

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

Say hello to Huey! Huey originally came to Chi Town Rescue summer 2024 when he was found with four other dogs abandoned in a kennel in an empty parking lot late at night. The dogs were all varying degrees of fearful, with Huey being one of the most fearful with people. Huey went to a foster home shortly after being taken into rescue, and that home decided to officially adopt him. Recently they turned up at the rescue again, with Huey in a carrier, saying they were returning him due to him not liking their big dogs and resource guarding his favorite person (the female in the home) from the male in the home. It's true that Huey picks his people and bonds strongly to them. When he likes you, he is your best buddy and will follow you around and seek out affection. He loves pets and lap time from those he loves. If Huey isn't comfortable with you, he will bark and avoid. He does tend to "guard" his person from other people or dogs who walk up when he is near them (barking, growling, possibly biting at the other dog or person). Because of this, Huey must go to an adult-only home and a dog-experienced home who is willing to work with his resource guarding issues. Huey does well overall with other small dogs, so long as they aren't interfering with time with "his" person. He does bark at larger dogs. We are looking for a patient and experienced foster or forever home for Huey. His new home must be adult-only and have a secure yard and fencing. We realize Huey isn't perfect but we know there is a special someone out there who will love him just the way he is. Email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information! Huey is neutered and vaccinations are up to date including Rabies.

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:
