We took in Camilla and out popped 5 puppies, but unfortunately none survived.  This is the third pregnant momma dog that we have rescued in a week.  Please, please spay and neuter your pets so your dogs and cats don't end up having unwanted babies.

 

Camilla is only a year old herself, but is looking for her forever home.

 

11/16/09- I have been fostering camilla for a week. She is a very smart and funny little dog. She lets you do anything to her. We have dressed her up in cute little outfits and painted her nails. She is the kind of dog that needs someone to be home with her most of the time or would take her with them. She is very friendly once she warms up to you. Camilla is a bit timid with people untill she gets to know you and then shes right by you like glue. She loves car rides. if you put her bed in the passenger seat she will just sit there but if its not there she'll crawl into your lap and sit with you. She seems friendly with other animals. She also loves to be pampered. She's good with children but it might not be the best home for her because she is timid.  Shes so sweet and when you leave for even 5 min. once you re enter she will jump around and go in circles.  As i said she is a bit timid and will need someone who will take a day to let her get usted to get. She Needs someone who will also be gental with her but she's great on a leash and plays.

 

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, nonetheless it seems to have been introduced by the Chinese. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua where he was brought to the rest of the world by travelers. This breed is believed to have been sacred to the Pre-Columbian Indian nations. The Chihuahua is a popular, economical companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, it gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, it moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. Chihuahua's are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. They like to lick their owner's faces. It is undeniably suspicious of people except for its owner. When strangers are present, it follows its owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. This breed may snap at teasing children, after all it is too tiny to get away. The Chihuahua must resort to his sharp teeth in self defense. It is not recommended for children. He can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Many owners simply paper train this breed. The Chihuahua hates the cold and may shiver, although this may be due to high metabolism as much as temperature or anxiety. It will tolerate and even appreciate a warm sweater on cooler days. They are good little dogs for apartment life. Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, they will keep fitter if taken for walks. A body harness is safer than a collar. Don't think that just because he is small he should be confined to a small space. Chihuahuas have a life expectancy of 15 or more years.
