Stripes is currently in foster care with another small dog. Her foster mom said she is a sweet, gentle dog that loves snuggling, and running around the backyard. She did very well adapting to our home and our dog.  She is house-trained but needs frequent walks or access to a backyard. She eats well and loves going on walks, or just lying in the sun. She is quiet but barks at new people in the house and would do best in a calm home with little traffic or no small kids.

For this group of chihuahuas, we are requiring that their new home either have a dog around their size for them to bond with or that they are adopted with one of their siblings. They find comfort in one another and are very afraid when they are left alone.

Chihuahuas are lively, loyal, intelligent, spunky, playful, and friendly dogs.     They burrow under blankets, dance on their hind legs, wave their paws in the air, and lick everything in sight!  Most Chihuahuas need little obedience training.  Chihuahuas need to learn where to go to the bathroom, and where not to go – and this can be the biggest training challenge in this breed. 

PRBJ got a call from Hernando County asking for help in saving 29 small dogs who were living in a hoarding situation.  The owners were being evicted, and the dogs had nowhere to go.  Judy and the team didn’t hesitate to go help these poor babies, and the 29 Chihuahua mixes were rescued and brought back to PRBJ.
