My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Peque has been surrendered by her owner because the owner has health issues and can't take care of her anymore. She is amazing and sweet. She has even had some training and was featured as the "Best Dog" in the class! The Chihuahua is a tiny dog with a huge personality. A national symbol of Mexico, these alert and amusing "purse dogs" stand among the oldest breeds of the Americas, with a lineage going back to the ancient kingdoms of pre-Columbian times. The Chihuahua is a balanced, graceful dog of terrier-like demeanor. The rounded "apple" head is a breed hallmark. The erect ears and full, luminous eyes are acutely expressive. Coats come in many colors and patterns, and can be long or short. The varieties are identical except for coat. Chihuahuas possess loyalty, charm, and big-dog attitude. Even tiny dogs require training, and without it this clever scamp will rule your household like a little Napoleon. Compact and confident, Chihuahuas are ideal city pets. but Chihuahuas are adaptable' as long as they get lots of quality time. Please fill out our online application and our adoption counselor will reach out to you to discuss meeting your new family member. Adoptions happen quickly. Please be ready to adopt before you apply.

Additional adoption info

Adopters fill out an adoption application, which asks questions such as where will they house the dog, what type of enclosure, do they have other pets, home or apartment, training aspirations, and what would they do if they could no longer keep the dog... they must also agree to a home inspection if necessary.

Shelter Hope Pet Shop is located in Janss Marketplace, 275 N. Moorpark Rd, #193G, in Thousand Oaks. We're located between Gold's Gym and Nordstrom Rack inside the Janss Marketplace mall. We're open Monday-Thursday by appointment only, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, for walk-ins and appointments 11am-4pm. We also do off-site events as much as possible to get more animals adopted...

More about this rescue

We are a volunteer-based pet shop that carries shelter animals available for in-store adoption. Janss Marketplace donates the space to us, we have amazing volunteers, and we pull animals from high-kill shelters, and showcase them in a busy mall environment, where they gain great exposure and find loving new homes.

We have found over 15,000 homes for shelter animals since our opening in November 2011.

SHPS is part of the Shelter Hope Project, which strives to make this the business model for all mall pet shops. We hope to abolish all puppy-mill pet shops, help find homes for the countless pets in our shelters that face being euthanized, and educate the public on how we can ALL help reduce future shelter population.
