My story

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

Cheech - The Escape Artist Chihuahua



About Cheech:




  • 2-year-old male Chihuahua

  • Neutered and microchipped

  • Up-to-date on all vaccinations

  • Outgoing and friendly with people, especially enjoys the company of children

  • Prefers the company of smaller dogs, especially female pups

  • High-energy and very clever - can climb chain link fences to escape, so will need a secure, high wooden fence



Personality and Behavior:




  • Cheech is a lively and affectionate Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a small body. He loves people and most dogs, though he tends to prefer the company of smaller pups, especially females.

  • His clever and adventurous nature has earned him the nickname "Houdini" - he has an uncanny ability to climb to the top of chain link fences and then jump down to freedom. For this reason, he will need a securely fenced yard with a tall wooden fence that he cannot climb.

  • Cheech is house-trained and comfortable using a doggie door. He does well when crated, but will need close supervision to prevent any daring escapes when doors are opened.

  • Tragically, Cheech's adventurous spirit once led him to kill a chicken after getting out, so he is not recommended for a farm or rural environment.

  • However, Cheech seems to do well with children and could make a delightful companion in the right home, as long as his escape artist tendencies are carefully managed.



Ideal Home: Cheech would thrive in an active home with a securely fenced yard and plenty of enrichment to channel his high energy. He would do best in a home without other large dogs, and one with responsible owners who can provide close supervision to prevent any unplanned adventures. An experienced Chihuahua owner or a home with dog-savvy children would be ideal for this clever and affectionate pup.

More about this shelter

I started rescuing dogs when I found out that the strays in town were not given an opportunity to be adopted but they didn't have any where for the dogs to go. This rescue/shelter gives them all a chance to find a perfect family. My hope is that all strays and owner surrenders will have a great new chance at a life they deserve. With the help and support of my family, friends and community we will keep saving them.
