Chokky

Chokky is the fourth of the ones to come into care due to her Mummy going into care. The youngest of the four and very overweight (by about 1 kg.!) Little Chookky has travelled all the way to northern New South Wales to her new home. Last reports (Dec 2011) are that she is simply idoloized and has settled very happily! Love you Chokky!!

Toy

Toy has come into care, along with his three mates, due to his Mummy going into a care situation.

He is just gorgeous but scared.

Toy went to new home, however it did not work out, as he just fretted very badly for his playmates! So Toy is now back at the Chihuahua House.
Little Toy has been adopted for the last few months and has settled in really well, and is loved dearly! he is such a happy little fellow!

Kristina

On the left first days in care - such a sad little face. In middle "not enough room here, Nikki!". Then finally "OK Nikki, there is enough room!" Two photoes on right taken ten days after coming in to care and already looking a lot happier! Bless her.

Kristina is 11 years old and her Mummy had just been taken in to a care hospital and she had been fretting and very sad. She has cheered up a little now (two weeks later) and has started to eat, but craves cuddles and attention.

Kristina has a quite bad heart murmur but appears otherwise to be in good health, although her coat needed some attention. Her skin is still very inflamed from where she was infested with fleas. Flea; worm treatment; and a good bath along with some healthy food, not to mention heaps of cuddles and snuggles! and Kristina is starting to feel a little more settled.

Chihuahua Rescue closure

It has been many years that we have enjoyed doing Chihuahua Rescue, and we wish to thank you for all the support and help you have given to us to achieve the re-homing of so many little needy dogs, also to all those who have given monetary donations to help with the operations that many have needed, and to help with the food costs; to those who have donated food, blankets, bowls, and towels etc.; and last but not least, to those who have donated their time to help out with some of the chores over the years.

With great sadness in our hearts we must retire from rescue work due to ill health and old age catching up to us! Mayer has had several major heart and other surgeries over the last ten years, and Rita has been a type 1 diabetic on insulin for the past 59 years and is now experiencing some of the debilitating symptoms that many diabetics have in a far shorter lifetime on insulin. We are both very grateful to be alive and to have experienced all the love that many little dogs have given us!

We are eternally grateful to Mandy and Kristal who run New Beginnings Rescue for taking over Chihuahua Rescue and for continuing on with this wonderful work, not only for the little dogs, but for all the other animals they give a “new beginning” to!
