Our story
Dizzy was a little 15 year old Chihuahua who was dumped and abandoned in a supermarket car park and left to fend for himself. He was in an appallingly poor condition, dirty and unkempt, unable to walk or see and with infected eyes and mouth, he would not have survived alone.
We were privileged to have given him a safe and happy home and showered him with love and affection before he very sadly died, leaving a huge gap in our lives.
Dizzy Chihuahua Rescue was set up in Dizzy’s memory, to keep this very special little dog’s name alive and to help little Chihuahuas in need…

House Trained: Yes Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested
Info:Poppy is a loving and affectionate dog and will be your constant, companion, protector and friend, once she is given time to settles in and warms to you at her own pace. She prefers women and will bond with one person, but is very wary of men and strangers and needs time to trust on her own terms. Her favorite place is the garden, chasing the wood pigeons and she also loves her walks with the other rescue dogs. We are looking for a dog savvy owner who can give her the time that she needs to settle and understands dogs needs and behaviour as Poppy can be an anxious girl and may be protective if anyone comes to close and she does have a few trigger points that may upset her and therefore needs a firm guiding hand to make her fell safe. She needs a calm, peaceful home, where she can be left alone, until she feels safe and decides that she is happy to interect. She is a well behaved and quiet dog and understands the word no., she has fitted into the Dizzy pack without problem. She may be overwhelmed and anxious by strangers visiting the home (until she gets used to them). Poppy is a wonderful little dog and once settled, loves nothing more than playtime and cuddles.

Info: Lucky is the most shy, timid, quiet and sweetest dog. He is a real lapdog and loves to be in your arms as much as possible and paws you to be stroked a lot.
