My story

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

Copper is a super cute one-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for a forever family through Chi Town Rescue. Copper came to rescue with 10 other dogs, as part of a hoarding case in Concho, Az. The owner was moving and wanted all her dogs euthanized, even though most were young and healthy. We often find with dogs from hoarding situations, that they are unsocialized and even fearful, of people in general. Copper has some of these tendencies and takes just a bit to warm up to new people. He has made lots of progress in the time he's been at rescue and will now approach those he knows for pets. Treats definitely help him warm up faster! Copper is catching up on all the things he missed out on in his first year of life. He will need a patient family willing to teach him about leash training and potty training. We know Copper is going to blossom in a home setting; he has his whole life ahead of him! Copper does well with other dogs and would love a canine pal in his new home. Copper weighs 15 pounds and is tall and lean- maybe some Basenji in there too? Copper's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, Rabies certificate, and microchip. Come get to know Copper and fall in love! Email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com for more info/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:
