Dizzy Chihuahua Rescue

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 on 26th July 2016, 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..

Info: Alfie is a quiet, sweet, affectionate and friendly little dog. He gets along with other dogs and cats, loves company and loves to curl up on your lap for cuddles and happy to snuggle in with the other dogs. Enjoys playing with his toys for short periods but has a short attention span. He will need further help with his house training and will also need a suitable diet to keep his anal glands clear.

Info: Lulu is a little wary to start, (especially with men) but is a loyal, loving and affectionate dog once she gets used to you. She will need the company of another dog in her new home and having been brought up with little DCR Alfie, it would be wonderful if they could be rehomed as a pair as they love to snuggle up together. Lulu is food very orientated and will need a slow feeder. She has also recently been spayed and had a large hernia repaired/removed. Lulu needs a loving adult home.

Name: Charlie Breed: Short haired Chihuahua Sex: Male Age: 14 years Colour: Cream Weight: 3.2kg

House Trained: Yes Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Yes

Info: Charlie info to follow / under assessment

Lettie

Name: Lettie Breed: Chi x JRT Sex: Female Age: 6 months Colour: Black & Tan Weight: 5.3kg

House Trained: Yes (with the occasional blip) Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested

Info: We believe that Lettie is a Chi x JRT who is a friendly and good natured dog, we would say more JRT than Chihuahua. She does show initial fear of other dogs and tries to avoid them, so will need a little time to settle into a new home with another family pet. She settled well with our other Dizzy dogs, but will retaliate with certain dogs if they snap at her, we therefore advise that other pets are of a similar size or bigger (5kg). She does show fear when seeing dogs on walks and will bark if they are in her sight. She is only a puppy so this can be nipped in the bud, once she gets more confident being around other dogs. A secure garden is a must as she is a good jumper. She loves her long walks, to be by your side and to sit and sleep with you, she always has a squeaky toy in her mouth and loves to interact to chase, fetch and return the ball. She is an intelligent little dog and loves to please. Lettie adores her humans and will form a tight bond to become your constant companion, protector and friend.

Baxter

Name: Baxter Breed: Chihuahua Sex: Male Age: 5 years Colour: Tri colour Weight: 2.8kg

House Trained: Yes (with odd blip) Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested

Info: Baxter can be shy and timid. but once settled is a delightful, friendly and affectionate little sweetheart, who loves his home comforts, especially warmth and heat. His tail never stops wagging and he loves to play with his toys and will happily entertains himself. He gets on well with other dogs but likes to be with his human, snuggled up with you on the sofa or under the duvet with you in bed at night.
