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…
Dogs Available for Adoption
Poppy
Name: Poppy Breed: Chihuahua Sex: Female Age: 9 years Colour: Black and Tan Weight: kg
House Trained: Yes Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested
Info: Darling Poppy is a loving and affectionate dog and will be your constant companion, protector and friend once she settles in and warms to you. She prefers women but is wary of men and strangers and needs time to trust on her on her own terms and in her own time. Her favourite place is the garden, chasing the wood pigeons and also loves her walks with the other rescue dogs. We are looking for a dog savvy owner who understands a dogs needs as Poppy may be protective if someone comes too close and does have some trigger points. She sometimes needs a guiding hand . She needs a calm, quiet home where she can be left alone until she decides that she feels safe and has time to do what she wants. She can get a little snappy having her harness put on and we therefore left it on her all the time to avoid stressing her. She understand the word no and fitted into the rescue pack without problem. Sadly Poppy and one of the dogs in her present home are sometimes reacting to each other and she is wary of and can be overwhelmed by men and strangers visiting the home. Poppy is wonderful little dog and once settled loves nothing more that playtime and cuddles.
Yoshi
Name: Yoshi Breed: Chihuahua Sex: Male Age: 9 years Colour: Cream Weight: 2.5kg
House Trained: Yes (with the odd blip/ may scent mark at first) Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested
Info: Yoshi can be a nervous and timid dog to start, but once he settles is a friendly, happy little boy, he loves to sit on your knee for cuddles and loves to be with his human more than anything. He doesnt like loud noises and can be a bit of a barker, he will bark if he hears any noises that are not usual to his normal home life, such as car doors slamming and strangers talking etc. He will scent mark in the home until he gets used to his environment, but one he settles, he is good at being told no and going outside. He gets on well with other dogs, but will chase cats, he loves his walks, exercise and home comforts. Yoshi needs a calm and quiet home.
Rogan 'Rogie Bear'
Name: Rogan Breed: Chihuahua Sex: Male Age: 9 years Colour: Chocolate Weight: 3.7kg
House Trained: Yes Lead Trained: Yes Likes dogs: Yes Like cats: Not cat tested
Info: Rogan has been a very much loved little Chihuahua and this shows in his beautiful calm and contented nature. We think he is just perfect, he is calm, quiet and placid in the home, he loves his humans, is very affectionate, funny and loving and gets on well with and loves to play chase with the other dogs. He does sometimes go outside on his own and bark in the garden given the chance, but will go back in when he is told No. Rogan came into rescue overweight at 5.5kg, with paw/skin issues which cleared up after a change in diet, has been given a clean bill of health by our vet and we feel that this will continue if he continues on a raw healthy diet. We are looking for calm home with a secure garden, along with another friendly dog/s for Rogan to play with. Who ever adopts Rogan will be very lucky as we think he is the most wonderful little dog.
