Southern Chihuahua Rescue and Adoption

I honestly don't even know where to start with this place. I am extremely upset with how this…read moreentire situation has been handled. When I adopted Huxley, I was told he was a sweet, loving, laid-back dog who had never shown aggression toward people or other animals. I trusted what I was told and trusted that I was being given the information I needed to make an informed decision about adopting him. Once he was in my home, that was NOT the whole story. We discovered food/resource guarding that was never properly disclosed to me. There were also things in his vet history that I feel should have been explained to me before I adopted him. My own vet also questioned his age and believed him to be closer to 5 rather than the 2 years I was told. Then Huxley bit an older man at a dog-friendly restaurant when the man offered him a treat. He broke the man's skin and drew blood. And now he has bitten me. I have spent a lot of time trying to make this work because I genuinely cared about this dog. I am not trying to "dump" him somewhere because I don't want him anymore. I have reached the point where I don't feel safe or capable of handling his behavioral issues and I am trying to find him a home/rescue that actually can. Instead of helping me, they accused me of abusing him and trying to hurt him. That is absolutely unbelievable to me. You adopt a dog based on what a rescue tells you about that dog. If serious behavioral issues exist, adopters deserve to know about them BEFORE they take that dog home. You can't tell someone a dog has been nothing but friendly and gentle, have them discover serious issues after adoption, and then turn around and accuse the adopter when they can no longer safely handle the dog. I also find it incredibly concerning that their response seems much more focused on blaming me than on actually finding a safe solution for Huxley. I am not claiming Huxley is a bad dog. I don't think he's a bad dog. I think he needs a different situation and someone who knows how to handle his behavior. That's why I'm trying to surrender him responsibly instead of putting him in another unsafe situation. I would strongly recommend that anyone adopting from this rescue get every vet record, ask about resource guarding, ask about previous bites/aggression, and verify everything they possibly can before taking one of these dogs home. Because right now I feel like I was sold a completely different picture of the dog I adopted, and when I finally said I couldn't safely handle it anymore, I was treated like I was the problem.

I haven't been yet but looking at these pictures of Chihuahuas make me smile ! I'm giving this…read moreplace 5 stars because they rescue a lot of cute Chihuahuas that need forever homes and I can't wait to get my own chihuahua from them !
