Story

Chihuahuas Age: 4 yrs / 1 yr Females, spayed 9 / 7 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Kanga and Roo came to us from the San Mateo SPCA. Kanga wasn’t at risk, and would have been available for adoption at the shelter. However, her surviving puppy (the other one died at the shelter), Roo, was special needs and was still nursing, so we had to take Kanga and the puppy, Roo, together. After separating them for a while once Roo was weaned, we decided to put them back together after Roo recovered from her surgeries. Kanga came from a very bad hoarding situation. She was very underweight (which probably contributed to the poor condition of her two puppies). She is very healthy now, and ready to be adopted. Roo showed signs of congenital birth defects in her legs (not surprising, given her rough start). Three of her legs were “good enough” for mobility, while the 4th leg was pretty messed up. We decided to do a series of surgeries to realign the bones on the worst leg. She is fully recovered and gets around pretty good (although, not sure that she could take long walks - maybe a stroller is in her future?) Kanga can be very shy and cautious when meeting new people, but when she does feel comfortable, she is super sweet and affectionate. Roo, as a puppy, loves everyone. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Kanga & Roo, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story

Chihuahua Age: 2 yrs old Female, spayed 5.5 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Sissy was dropped off at the shelter “as a stray” by someone (sometimes it is people dumping their own dog but saying “they found it”). She was very scared at the shelter (at 5 lbs, it is understandable that she would be freaked out). She was difficult to handle at times by the staff, but she also failed her high value resource guarding test. The test mainly consists of giving the dog food or other high value items, then tease the dog with a rubber hand to see if the dog will bite the fake hand. Very few shelters still do this test, because it often doesn’t accurately test the dog’s demeanor in the real world, but this particular shelter (and some large well-known rescue organizations) still use it. She is a typical clingy small Chihuahua. For the most part, she is okay with the other small dogs in the home. However, if another dog is not treating her nicely, she will “return the favor” then it is game-on. She is not good with larger dogs. We have no idea about how she is with cats, but it is likely that she would be okay. It has been noticed that over-stimulated play with humans can result in some mouthiness / nipping - best to avoid that activity or involve a toy. If she is with another dog, they should be fed separately and avoid giving her treats if another dog is present. She came to the shelter with a broken tooth, that was pulled when she was spayed. She had a skin issues that was believed to be flea allergy dermatitis - treatable with flea control. In her first foster home, she got into an altercation with a larger dog that ended up in a dislocated knee. Even though we initially considered amputation, Sissy uses the leg and shows no signs of pain, so we kept it. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Sissy, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story

Long-Haired Chihuahua Mix Age: 3-5 years Male, neutered 11 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) PLEASE NOTE: We do not adopt any of our dogs out to families with children under the age of 13. Here is what Bodhi’s foster family has to say about him: “Meet our foster dog, Bodhi. He's a Heinz 57 of dogs, a little bit of everything. Bodhi is a character, and can be a little quirky. It took him a week before he wanted to have anything to do with us. After that week, he came out of his shell. He is a loving dog, that would be great in a home with 1-2 adults, no children. He would do great being the only dog. He can be a lap guarder, and he does not like to share said lap with other dogs. Bodhi is great on leash walks, and he is getting used to hanging out in the yard while I garden. When we started bringing him outside, he would do his business and then go back inside. Now, he is learning to hang out outside and relax. When Bodhi gets excited, he becomes a bit of mouthy player. (He does not bite down.) Just to add some observations from Bodhi’s previous foster home - he is pretty much a “one person” or “one family” dog. He is not too keen on interacting with strangers (visitors to your home or out in public). Potential adopters should be prepared to give Bodhi time to adjust to a new environment and new owners. He will likely take at least a couple weeks to trust and feel comfortable. It won't happen overnight. For more information about Bodhi, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story

Chihuahua Mix Age: > 1 yrs old Male, neutered 7 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Charlie was dropped off at the Berkeley Animal Shelter by someone who initially stated that they “found him.” Then it was discovered that person actually had the dog for a couple of months, so it was treated as an “owner surrender.” He has no real use of his back legs. They were froze/locked in a rigid position, so he used them to steady his back end, but he wasn’t able to actually move them in any useful way. X-rays of his spine showed a major deformity that he was likely born with. The shelter didn’t have the resources to care for this kind of disability. They called us before making the decision to euthanize him. We have determined that Charlie is incontinent (bowels and bladder) due to his condition. He mostly gets around by dragging his hind legs, and occasionally using his legs as “crutches”. The foster family hasn’t done a lot of work on getting him to use a wheelchair/cart. As a puppy he is very playful. He had to learn a lot of puppy manners while interacting with the other dogs in the home. He is doing pretty well in that area. Charlie would do well in a home with other friendly, playful dogs his size. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.
