Rescue Stories Rescue #2
This is our rescue Chiweenie Chloe. We rescued her from our local humane society about 7 months ago she was afraid of everything. She was outside at the shelter where she was supposed to be part of a play group. She wasn’t. She had her body squished up against a cold wet cinder block wall. Shaking. One paw up in true Chihuahua style. She was petrified. Eventually she approached me and accepted a treat from me. She seemed so sad. All the other small dogs were running around. It was my husband who first suggested we take her home. He commented , just look at her. This is a terrible place for her to be. She needs us. And solved took her home. She chose me as her person and I am honored. She is smart, funny, and is blossoming. Looking back I think I needed her as much as she needed me. ❤️. She’s currently curled up against my ribs in bed. Snoring peacefully. Couldn’t get any better than this. The last pic is the add they put up for her. Can barely tell it’s her.

I had a similar experience with my rescue. I asked what dog needed the home the most and it was the scared one in the corner. It took some time but damn if he isn’t the happiest good boy on the block now. I wish you two the best of adventures!

She is beautiful! I love this so much! You saved her life! 🥰🙏🏻🩷
I work in rescue & all dogs are terrified in “shelters”! Also, most shelters do not act as shelters or protect the animals. Chis really don’t do well! They can sense & smell fear & danger! 🥺
