The Chihuahua population in the Valley is facing a crisis. There are many Chihuahuas of the Valley in need of forever homes.
Unfortunately, shelters in the Valley are overcrowded, with some having as many as 50 Chihuahuas in their care at any given time. This is a heartbreaking reality, especially for these small dogs who deserve a loving home.
The Valley's Chihuahua rescue organizations are working tirelessly to find homes for these dogs. They are also providing medical care and spaying/neutering services to help reduce the number of unwanted litters.

Chihuahuas Up for Adoption
If you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, there are dozens of adorable chihuahuas up for adoption in the Livermore area.
Dozens of chihuahuas were recently rescued from a home in Livermore where they were living in "filthy conditions" without food or water.
The chihuahuas were taken to the East County Animal Shelter in Dublin where they received vaccinations, nail care, and were placed in clean cages.
One of the dogs needed emergency medical attention and has already found a new home.
There are 15 chihuahuas available for adoption at Oakland Animal Services, 12 dogs at Dublin SPCA, and approximately 10 at Valley Humane Society.
You can contact the agencies directly to inquire about adopting a dog or making a donation to help with their care.
The contact number for Oakland Animal Services is 510-535-5602.
