Name: Baya

Chihuahua/Whippet mix, Female, Medium

Birth date: 06/29/07

I look so much like a pure Whippet that I was rescued from southern New Mexico along with my two puppies by a Greyhound/Whippet rescue. But once I got to ABQ it was decided that I was a Whippet/Chihuahua mix. My legs are long enough to belong to a giraffe and I am friendly, playful, and ready for you to adopt me.

Like a fine wine, I have been aged for 5 years. I am a home girl, I like the sofa, laying in the sun and playing with my friends. Nap time, I'm ready.

Hello darlings, I am so happy you stopped by to have a look at me. I gave birth to Della, Dino, Darcy, and Durango. I was a very good and patient mother and I was sad each time one of them found their forever home. Now I am all alone and in need of my own forever home. My foster mom is in love with me but to continue her rescue work she can't adopt me. But she wanted me to tell you that I am a very special, sweet lady who would make some family looking for a well-behaved companion, the perfect adoptee. Please come see me in person.

I am barely one year old and already I have lost my forever home. I was adopted into a home with two other dogs. We all loved each other and were a very happy family until the U. S. government transferred my forever dad to Japan. The family could only take two pets and since I was the newest I had to find a new home. My mom and dad are very upset, so ECR promised to find me a special family that won't move out of the country. If you fit the criteria please come and get me.

Named after the gal from "Mean Girls" movie, I really don't have a mean bone in my cute little body.

Hi there! Glad you could stop by for a visit. I was adopted from ECR as a puppy. My life was not too stable after that.

Please help me. I am small and skinny. I was brought to a 72 hour kill shelter and because I am so small ECR got a call to save me. I am timid at first, but you would be too if you were in my paws.

Chihuahua, Male, Very Small

Birth date: 03-20-04

I am the sweetest gentleman you would ever like to meet. I have a heart murmur that requires medication daily. I was very sick when found. That is probably why I don't have much hair. I almost died when they cleaned my teeth. I am a lot stronger now, but slightly incontinent so I wear a blue jeans diaper. I love to be held. However, I am no wallflower, I like to go places and do things, as long as I am with you. If you can find a very special place in your heart for me, you won't be sorry.

I am a Diva. I think I am very, very special. I love to be held and when no one is available to hold me I want under my blanket in my bed. Sometimes I growl when my foster mom tries to pick me up when I am hiding there. She says I need at "Keep Out" sign next to my bed. I am choosey about the dogs I want to hang out with too, and nobody had better touch my bed or my food or I give them a piece of my mind. But I can't keep this act up if I don't have someone to adore me. I am really just a scared, tiny dog waiting for you to love and spoil me.

We picked up Laverne and her sister Shirley at the dog pound in Carlsbad, on death row, and our rescue was their last hope for a new home. She is probably a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix. She would do great with another dog in the household, and school aged kids. It only takes 5 minutes of petting to see this dog has a heart full of love. She is extremely smart and will keep your seat warm until you get back. She is very high energy (the Jack Russell), and cannot be crated at all. She would like to have a doggie door and a well fenced yard so she can go in and out.

I love to watch TV and go for rides in a car. I get along with other dogs, and I love people. Just call for an audition. I'll see you soon sweetheart.

Yes, I am as sweet as I look. I am curious, but a little on the timid side. I get along well with other dogs. Nobody knows much about me because I was a stray and ended up in the dog pound. I was going to be put to sleep but a visitor just couldn't believe someone as small and cute as I am deserved to be put to death because I was afraid of all the noises at the pound. She adopted me and asked ECR to help me trust people. My foster mom says I am doing great and I really love her. Please ask to see me.

Don't you just love my little white goatee? Other than that I am all silky black. My right ear curls back so I stand out in a crowd. I came all the way from Portales. There are way too many Chihuahuas in Portales so I decided to hit the road. I did not get very far before I ended up in the dog pound. That is bad news in Portales. They have a kill shelter with very few holding cages. It is pretty much in for a day or two and then if not adopted, "Adios!" Lucky for me ECR had space. But I still need a forever home, please, please, please.

I am cute and scared and want someone to put me in their arms and protect me. My left back leg is missing its paw. It probably happened at birth. It doesn't hurt me but I don't have much use for it. Roswell Humane thought it would have to be amputated but ECR said they would like to get me a prosthesis paw instead. But that will cost a lot so they are collecting money for it.

I am day dreaming about sitting in your lap and you cuddling me. You tell me you love me and that I am safe. Then you give me a big hug. And I think I am in doggie heaven. I was rudely dropped off at the dog pound in Roswell where it is noisy and very scary. I am afraid of other dogs and need a quiet home. I love humans and feel safe in their arms. Maybe you could teach me that it is okay to be around other dogs.

I haven't had much luck with finding a forever home. My first home was cruel to me. As I grew from puppy to adult they didn't even check my collar and it became embedded in my neck! The vet had to cut it out. Then a wonderful lady rescued me, and loved and cared for me, but she is 80 years old with bad arthritis and can't take care of me anymore. She told me to tell you that I am very sweet and I love to be held by my human. She hopes the perfect forever person for me is reading this bio right now. Hey!
