My story

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

Meet Phelps! Puppy Phelps came to Chi Town Rescue from a hoarding situation, with his brother Jackson. Phelps is the (slightly) larger of the two, weighing in around 12 pounds. He is just nine-months old, and has his whole life ahead of him; he would love to get started on life with his forever family! Phelps and Jackson were shy when they first came to rescue, but are quickly blossoming. Phelps is a tall guy and has super long limbs (like his namesake!). He uses those long legs to zoom around and PLAY! Phelps is still a bit avoidant of people, but will wiggle up to you, tail wagging, and lick your hands. He is social and playful with other dogs and is learning how to play wrestle and chase toys. Phelps' ideal family will be full of patience and love for a little puppy with a hard start to life. He will need help with potty and leash training, and learning to be the best adult doggy he can be. Phelps' adoption fee includes neuter surgery, microchip, Rabies certificate, and vaccinations up to date. Email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment.

More about this rescue

"Chi Town" is short for "Chihuahua Town," which is our nick-name because we found that the majority of animals we were rescuing happened to be Chihuahuas and literally have a little “town” comprised of Chihuahuas! Chihuahuas are one of the most over-bred dogs in Arizona and unfortunately many end up in need of rescue. However, we are not limited to saving just Chihuahas, we do save other breeds dependent on availability of space. Chi Town also specializes in rescuing dogs who require a little extra TLC and are at risk of euthanasia at county shelters. These dogs may not be doing well for a variety of reasons- fear, fear aggression, anxiety, or a medical issue to name a few. These are the dogs that typically have no other outlet and for which time is of the essence . After our dogs are medically cleared and/or their behavioral issues have improved, they are available for adoption.

Please be aware that we do our very best to answer all questions in a timely manner.

We are always seeking to help promote these special Chihuahuas who are too often overlooked in AZ shelters due to the sheer volume of this breed. Please share and like us on Facebook:
