Stefanie...it's quite shocking to me also...they seem to be increasing by the numbers!! I know there are a few puppy mills in the central valley of california. All small breeds - Chihuahua's mostly. I am so sick by this. The Rescue Org I am fostering for is so overwhelmed by pooches that director is stressed to save them all! She will go to the high kill shelters first and get as many as she can. It's sad...these shelters won't give stray dogs or owner surrender dogs ten days anymore...they would give 7 at the most. THERE IS NO ROOM!! is what they claim. I pray for the best - I'll keep you Chi moms and dads posted!! BTW-anyone hear from Claudia? I have been praying for her - in hopes she is OK!Gloria C The God of all grace will himself restore youand make you strong, firm and steadfast!1 Peter 5:10

I am on the East Coast, near DC and it's very rare to find a Chihuahua at any local rescues. There are waiting lists for them sometimes. It's really nice of you to take two in but it sounds like you have your hands full with your own 8 dogs! I wish there were more people out there like you that are willing to help. And BTW, I have never heard of a rescue that doesn't provide the food for their fosters. But, it seems they can't because they have too many rescue dogs as it is. Well, good luck if you decide to foster them! You are a Chi angel!

Pray for me please. The Rescue who I used to foster for has pleaded meto take 2 Chi's. There has been an urgency in Northern and Central California. There are so, so many Chikids out there with no homes - she has 15 to 23 at this time. I am so sadden by this. We have 5 of our own and 3 big pooches. This time I have made it clear she would have to bring their food - she told me she doesn't normally provide the food. I asked her why do other Rescues pay the fosters for food?? She said, right now it's out of control!! (which didn't answer my question).MORE stuff on my plate!
