Best Friends Program
Won't you be my best
friend? Hi! We are Chihuahuas who need a forever home. Right now we live with
a foster mom who takes very good care of us. We know that you would love to adopt us
but can't do it right now. If you'd like to help take care of us you can become our
"Best Friend." You can make a weekly donation of $5 or more, a monthly
donation of $20 or more, or a one time donation of any amount.
Even if you are planning to adopt one of us, there are so many more still
waiting for that perfect home. When you become our Best Friend your name will appear
next to our photo and we will be so grateful. Please, help us get home.
If you would like to have a Best Friend, please email Sponsor@chihuahua-rescue.com.
All dogs are now listed
alphabetically by city in the state of Florida. Below you will find
the Panhandle (Northwest), Northeast (Jacksonville), Greater Tampa Bay,
Southwest, then Central (Orlando).

COCO |
|
 |
"Blind Girl" -- now known as
Coco - was rescued from a kill shelter in Tallahassee, FL. Coco is a
beautiful brown chi with maybe some dachshund but not much -- docile and
sweet and very used to being held, walked, and treated to snuggles and
cuddles. She has been spayed and chipped, had her rabies shot, is
h/w negative, weighs 9.2 pounds, and according to their best guess is
about 8 years old. She might see some shadows in bright light, but
seems to bump into things
in dim light -- no clouding that we can see to indicate cataracts and
her pupils react slightly to direct sunlight, so we might have her
sight further checked. Other than her vision problems she is a
wonderful girl.

SPARKLE & SUKI |
|
 |
Sparkle and her daughter Suki were rescued
from a local shelter. Sparkle is a lovely apple-headed black and
tan 5 year old girl. She is very devoted to her daughter Suki and
is a bit shier than Suki. She tends to let Suki lead the way in
most things. She is a sweet little girl and wiggles with happiness
when you pet her or talk to her.
Suki is brown with a black mask and is 4 years old. She is more
outgoing than her Mom but always returns to lick Sparkle's face.
Both girls are pretty quiet and get along well with other pets and all
people. It would break our hearts to see these two split up so we
are hoping to find a home that has room and love for both.

RICCO
♥
My best friend is Talia Signorelli - thanks to a
regular donor! |
|
 |
Hi, my name is Ricco. I am not ready to be adopted yet
because I have some skin issues but my foster mom is working on getting
that cleared up. I am a 5 year old, neutered male, black & tan Chi-mix
who was an owner surrender. I have been told by my foster mom that I am
the cutest and sweetest little boy she has ever fostered. I love
everybody and I mind very, very well. Hopefully I'll be able to be
adopted soon because I am anxious to find my forever home.

DEADEYE PETE
♥
My best friend is Tammy and Darius Stankunas |
|
 |
 |
Deadeye was born blind in one eye, but he
doesn't care as long as you feed him a good meal!! Deadeye is a 5
year old chi mix who loves to eat so you have to help him watch his
waistline - not too many snacks! He also likes a warm, soft place
to sleep and will happily chase any cats in the area. He
would do best in a home with all adults or with older children as he can
be grumpy with small children (and cats!).
Deadeye has been in foster care for a long time and would really love a
forever home of his own. He is a good snuggler and would love to
be a lapwarmer in your home!

HANDSOME |
 |
|

 |

Hi my name is Handsome and
I will be your faithful companion if you give me the chance to get
to know you. I am a little shy with new people at first, but once
I have warmed up to you I will give you lots and lots of love.
My mommy Grettel and I were found in an abandoned house. I
was heart worm positive but now after treatment am happy to
report I am negative. I am now living apart from my mom so I
can gain more independence. I am a cream color with black tipped
ears and tail and some black "highlights." I am about 3
years old and weigh approx 9lb. My foster mom says I trot like
a little horse when I walk and am very good on a leash. I stay in
a playpen while the humans are at work and will often go on
my own to lay in my bed. I get along very well with my foster
sister Chihuahua who is quite bossy. There is a cat here who
I did not care for at first but now don't mind too much.
I really love attention and affection and will
"paw" at you to pet me. I
have a couple of nervous habits that my foster mom calls
endearing - I will "lick" at the air
sometimes when I am sitting with someone or laying in my
bed. I also do this cute little move with my foot when I am in my
bed and someone pets me or pays attention to me - I
will scratch at my ear with my hind leg. I guess I'm a
silly little boy sometimes! I am very well house broken and would
never dream on marking anything. Sometimes I am afraid to go
outside (although overcoming it) and probably hold it longer than
I should. My foster mom will walk me before she goes to work
to ensure I have "used the "facilities" before she
leave for the day. Overall I am an easy going lovable little
guy that would make a terrific companion for someone with room
in their heart.

CHICO
My best friend is
Barbara Rodriguez. |
|
 |
|
UPDATE. 4-5-09 Hi!
remember me, Chico? I just want to reintroduce myself to everyone. I’m a
really good boy who loves to dance, dance, dance, and dance. (I won a
dance contest too!!!)
I am a ‘blue ‘boy who likes to lie on your lap and
cuddle. I love to walk on the leash but not toO long. I still get scared
at first but I warm up to people eventually.
We go to a lot of fairs and sometimes I do not ‘show’
well because I am afraid. I just need time to adjust and I will do ok. I
will need time to adjust to someone new in my life but once I do I am
your friend – the very best friend forever. I promise to protect you and
defend you too – and I am always at your side!
I love to dance and play with my stuffed toys and I
can play fetch and tug of war. I might be a great candidate for agility
training as I am light on my feet and run fast.
When I first came to rescue and I first told you all
about myself I was very scared but my foster mom said that I have
learned a whole lot and would love to find a permanent forever home.
Please consider me for your home as it has been a long time since
someone has considered me! I am a really good boy – my mama tells me so!
Hi, my name is Chico and I am quite a handsome guy. I
have long legs with an apple head and big brown eyes. I have been told
that my color is different – you just do not see many grey Chihuahuas
– that means I’m kind of unusual.
I was found by a nice couple in the streets. I did not know that they
were nice so I was not nice to them. When the lady from the rescue came
to get me I was upset and very afraid. I did bite and growl when I was
afraid but I don’t do that anymore. I am learning how to be a part of
a successful and well behaved pack and everything is not scary anymore.
I have learned a lot since I came to live with my foster brothers and
sisters. I have been walking with the dogs my age (3 years by the way)
on a leash and although I get scared sometimes, I am able to follow my
pack leader – my foster mom - and she calms me down.
I am excellent about going to the bathroom outside in the backyard and
when we walk on the leash. I am most excited about learning how to play
with my new friends and all of the toys there. My favorite toy is the
stuffed monkey. I like him so much that I like to sleep with him –
although I probably need to continue to work on sharing.
I love to sit on my foster mom’s lap with my foster sister and
brothers. I like to lay under covers at night or cuddled with my toy
monkey in my bed. Once I get to know you I am very loyal and very loving
and affectionate.
I would like to have a forever home that may have another small dog to
hang with or a cat – I do like cats – well they kind of move around
funny and I like to just watch them.
I really will not do well with human kids. They really scare me and I’m
still learning how to control my fears.
I am pretty healthy – that‘s what the big guy in blue told me. I do have
a grade one heart murmur but I heard him tell my foster mom that I don’t
need any pills and that if I watch my weight and do exercise that I
should be just fine – just monitoring from year to year. I did not know
that this is common with small guys like me. I am neutered, of course,
and up to date on all of my vaccinations.
I promise I will be a good companion to a loving and patient person or
persons if you give me a wonderful forever home. My adoption fee is
$150.

PAPI
|
  |
My
name
is
Papi
(Father
in
Spanish).
I am
a
two
year,
8
pound
neutered
male.
My
foster
mom
says
I am
as
cute
as a
button
and
very
smart.
I
love
being
loved
and
will
return
the
same
in
kind.
Toys
are
my
favorite-especially
the
nosiest
ones.
Dinner
time
is a
high
point
in
my
day.
When
given
the
chance
I
will
steal
from
my
house
mates'
bowls.
My
foster
home
has
two
other
chihuahuas
and
three
Japanese
Chins.
My
group
also
oversees
the
care
of
three
parrots.
My
furry
friends
and
I
love
to
play
in
the
yard
and
enjoy
a
good
nights'
rest
in
our
mom's
very
large
bed.
My
current
home
is
great--
a
forever
home
would
be
even
better
I
promise
to
give
you
all
my
love
and
devotion
plus
mountains
of
joy.
I
look
forward
to

CENTRAL FLORIDA
ELMO
♥
My best friend is Rene' Kurzius
|
 |
Elmo
is a
7
pound,
healthy,
10-year-old
neutered
and
house
trained
male.
He
gets
along
ok
with
his
foster
brothers
and
sister,
but
he
would
prefer
to
be
in a
home
where
he
can
be
king
of
the
manner
without
any
other
dogs,
or
where
he
can
at
least
be
the
alpha
dog.
He
was
quite
scared
when
he
first
came
into
rescue,
but
within
a
couple
of
days
he
relaxed
and
became
extremely
attached
to
his
foster
dad.
The
right
family
would
need
to
be a
little
bit
patient
and
willing
to
give
Elmo
a
week
or
so
for
him
to
get
used
to
his
new
surroundings.
While
he
is
10,
he
still
has
a
little
bit
of
"puppy"
in
him
when
the
mood
strikes
him
just
right.
He
doesn't
seem
to
really
like
toys,
but
when
he
is
in
the
right
mood
he
loves
to
run
around
and
play
chase.
He
loves
to
be
near
us
and
insists
on
sleeping
under
the
covers
right
next
to
us.
He
also
likes
napping
on a
pillow
(under
a
blanket,
of
course!)or
on
the
couch.
He
isn't
used
to
climbing
stairs,
but
we're
working
on
that.
He
can
climb
them,
but
is
still
a
little
scared
to
do
so.
He
gets
a
little
bit
more
confidence
each
time
he
uses
them.
