Story
Meet Salsa, a resilient and spunky female Chihuahua mix, born approximately in February 2022. She was discovered in March 2023, huddled with eight other Chihuahua mixes in an abandoned movie theater. Salsa, though petite and pretty with her white coat, carries the scars of her past, making it challenging for her to trust humans fully. Salsa has undergone some rehabilitation, where our dedicated caregivers worked diligently to help her overcome her fear and anxiety. She is now ready for adoption. She has received all necessary vaccinations and has been microchipped for her safety. Salsa's journey is a testament to her resilience and the commitment of those caring for her. In time, with patience and love from her potential adopter, she hopes to find a forever home where she can blossom into the loving and trusting companion she has the potential to be.

🤎 Meet Poncho – A Gentle Soul Seeking a Second Chance 🤎 Poncho is a 3-year-old neutered male Chihuahua with a tender heart and a story that deserves to be heard. He found himself at Washoe County Animal Services along with his two pups, Great Prince and Thumper, after their owner was incarcerated and could no longer care for them. In March 2025, Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows stepped in to rescue Poncho and his little family. While his pups have been adjusting, Poncho is still slowly warming up. His ordeal left him feeling fearful and unsure, and he continues to carry some trauma from his sudden change in life. Poncho wants so badly to shine. Beneath his worries is a loving, gentle boy waiting for the right home to help him feel safe, loved, and understood. He needs a quieter environment where he can grow at his own pace and learn to trust again without pressure or chaos. ✨ Could you be the one to give Poncho the patient, peaceful home he so deeply deserves? ✨ Give him a chance, and he will show you just how special his love can be.

Story
⚡️ Meet Volt – The Little Clown Who Will Light Up Your Life! ⚡️ Volt is a 1.5-year-old neutered male Chihuahua with an electric personality and playful spirit. While he was somewhat worried during his time in the shelter, once he came to Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows, his true colors began to shine – and he quickly became the clown of the pups! Volt absolutely loves to play keep-away with his toys. He’ll bring them back for another toss, then zoom off with a grin as if to say, “Catch me if you can!” 🎾 His joyful energy is infectious and will keep you laughing every day. While Volt is very friendly, he does seem to be somewhat untrusting of males. However, with food motivation and positive reinforcement, he will likely overcome this hesitation in time. In the shelter, he allowed staff to put on and remove his little jacket and loved sitting in their laps while they worked in the office. Volt will also happily sit in his foster parent’s lap when he’s had enough playtime – he just needs people who respect his signals and give him space when he says he’s had enough. ✨ To Volt, life is all about toys, play, and fun! Could he be the playful companion you’ve been waiting for? ✨ Volt is ready to find a forever home where his silly, sweet personality can shine. 🐾

Story
Meet Sheba — A Soft, Fluffy Sweetheart Ready to Bloom ❤️ Sheba is a 7-year-old spayed female Chihuahua mix with a beautifully soft white-and-tan fluffy coat and the gentlest little spirit. She spent her entire life living among many other dogs, and when her world suddenly changed, Sheba found herself frightened, confused, and without the security she had always known. At the shelter, she was tossed into a kennel, evaluated by strangers, and left completely abandoned. Terrified and feeling trapped, Sheba barked, cowered, trembled, and hid in the corner of her “room,” hoping the unfamiliar people would leave so she could feel safe again. Because of her fear, others passed her by. But Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows did not. We stepped in and saved Sheba—along with her extended dog family—bringing her into a world of patience, compassion, and gentle care. Now, Sheba is slowly blossoming into a sweet, affectionate little gal. She loves being petted, enjoys soft attention, and is learning that human hands can offer comfort rather than fear. Each day, she takes small, brave steps toward trusting again—and she is already showing hints of the happy girl she is becoming. Sheba will thrive with an adopter who understands that trust takes time. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, she will shine—and the love she offers in return will be deeply rewarding. She is current on vaccinations and microchipped, and ready for a forever family who sees the beauty in a shy heart learning to love again. If you have room in your home and heart for a gentle soul who simply needs a chance, Sheba may be the perfect match.
