Frederick, welcome to the group. I am not sure everyone received this message as it was in my spam box. I am so glad you rescued a chi. I agree with you about the shelters charging people until they find a home but this would probably lead to people abandoning their animals on the side of the road, unfortunately. The best of luck with your new baby.

I was on MinPin talk, I am new to this group, I was on minpintalk, but I recently had to put my min pin down due to diebetes. Well I went to the animal rescue league, no luck finding a chihauhua there. I decided to look online, I found 2.. I saw this 1, she was very outgoing, not mean, quiet, etc. Another reason I decided on getting her is to get her out of the enviroment She was in. She is 2 years, 9 months. She was housetrained but was never on a leash, I put it on her and in less than a day she can walk on 1. She can't climb or go down steps, I am guessing the short legs.. She is the oposite of my min pin, He was hyper / only liked a few people. I knew that was not his doing, he was not socialized as a pup as he should have been. I kept Her original name she had. I've had a few dogs, it is hard when the have to be put down, etc But I am glad I was able to give them or any I get a chance to have a life they deserve. Alot are put down without having at leas 2 / 4 years. Instead of puting them down, they should make that person have to pay for the food / meds when it goes into a shelter till it is adopted. it is only fair to the animal. it is a shame they put them down, alot can be used in a rehab facility as companions while there.
