We got this update from Pepper's grandma.
Hi Rita.
I enjoy all the posts on your facebook page, some make me smile, some sad when one of your precious little ones has passed on.
Today I just wanted to say as a furry grandma that little Pepper girl has given us all so much joy.
Yes, she does have a mind of her own sometimes and she needs to be reminded who the boss is… but she makes up for it 99% of the time.
We love to have her visit us so much. Here is little Pepper keeping warm this winter.
Hope this is finding you well.
Isn't this just the most wonderful photo?
Oh my goodness Pepper is just so gorgeous! Beautiful little girl. I love seeing photos and hearing about our little darling dogs especially when they are so loved and cared for! It is so beautiful.
I hope you are keeping safe in these weird days too. Things are ok here, just very quiet.
Love from Rita xxxxx

Thank you so much for choosing us.

Reggie is looking for a home. Here is what we wrote about him when we announced he was up for adoption:
Reggie is a really lovely little boy and so well behaved! Totally toilet trained, quiet, and just loves to be with you full time. He especially enjoys sitting on your lap watching TV! He is not suited with children of any age and not sure of cats. We are seeking a retired older person/couple for this little man (3.75 kg.), preferably with no young grandchildren. One other younger Chihuahua to be a friend and play mate would be OK but he is fine on his own. He is in excellent health and loves his little piece of cheese every day!

RIP Gizmo
With such sad hearts we received this message from Gizmo's Mummy this afternoon. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Hi Rita,
Just a note to let you know my boy Gizmo passed away this week. He had heart failure, he had been on many medications and they helped him to keep going for another 2 years. It was 6 and a half years ago I adopted him from you. He filled my life with love and joy.
He had many little quirks which were very endearing. I keep remembering all the good times and road trips we went on. He loved his life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to adopt him. Xxx
Join us is saying goodbye to Gizmo on this Facebook post.

We recieved this great update from the family who have newly homed Spuddy, now known as Zoro.
Hi Rita, well a week has gone by and the little man is settling in really well.
We still have a little jealousy issue with our girl but it's much better as time goes by. From what I can see they are sleeping in separate beds in the TV room but after leaving them in our room for 4 days they are now going it alone!
He is the most darling little dog. He is so playful and loves to play and the two chase each other till they are exhausted!!
I will enclose some pics
Wish Zoro all the best on this Facebook post.

Adopted 3 years ago! Was called Domino when she was first brought to us; we renamed her Poppy; her new owners now call her Miss Fifi La Bootstrap. A fabulous name and the best girl ever!
She is truly the best although still a bit timid, and is still wary of men! Not big on going for walks, but she's just so lovable and loving - best of all, she doesn't bark!

A big thank you goes to Henry's loving forever home of three years now.

Gerrie is pregnant at Chihuahua Rescue Victoria headquarters, and is likely to give birth in the next couple of days.
Not sure how much bigger pregnant Gerrie can get!
Oh dear. Just after this photo I put down some kibble in her food bowl. Wish I had the video going! She tried to get up and was rocking around on her back, legs in the air. She looked like a beetle who can't roll over on to her feet! Yes, I stopped laughing and helped her up!

We announced Susie was up for adoption on our Chihuahua Rescue Victoria Dog Roll and on Facebook.
Susie is now ready for a loving home for her final years. She is microchipped and her records say she is ten years old, but she could be older as she was a puppy farm girl and has always been having puppies! She had mammary milk tumours removed when she was desexed last week, and all her teeth were taken out. Has a fantastically strong heart! She is fine with the other dogs and is a darling little dog considering her past!
She has been fully immunised and her microchip number is 982000361707966. Her price is $200 which we are asking to help cover just a very small amount of the huge vet fees.
Monday, 17th of April 2017

Dale, the most wonderful, obedient little dog. In fact a dream dog to live with! Has just been adopted and left our care to try out his new home. Good luck little darling, we will miss you.
This is what we wrote about Dale when we put him up for adoption.
Dale is the most gentle little man of almost five years, DOB 22/5/12. He is quiet and toilet trained. He is fine with people but not suited for children under 10 years. Is Ok with the other little dogs here. He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Chihuahua - according to his microchip. However our vet thinks he looks more like a Beagle cross Jack Russel Terrier - and we agree! This little man loves his daily walks and needs an active person happy to do 2 to 5 KMs per day!
Wish Dale luck on his journey with a new forever home on the Facebook post for this update.

Mother Chihuahua (Rita) appeared on Hound TV in July 2009 - Season 2, Episode 7. Steven and Rita spoke about her mission to help rescued Chihuahuas find loving forever homes: this included discussing health issues, life span, and what sort of concerns adoptees need to keep in mind when considering whether to take in a rescued Chihuahua. We are very grateful to Steven, who maintains the Hound TV Facebook page. Check out other episodes from Channel 31's Hound TV on their website or on their YouTube page.
We orginally wrote about this in the August 2009 newsletter.

No longer unidentified! We had this dog listed on our Unidentified page because we no longer knew his name, but thanks to a very kind reader (who also happens to be the saviour of Chee Chee), he has a name: Max the Min Pin (right) went home with Macey the Doberman (left). Thanks to Max's new Mum as she linked me to your website where we fell in love with Chee Chee, who is now our little princess. We wish Max the best on this Facebook post
