Chihuahuas driving up shelter population
It’s not just Los Angeles, and not just California whose shelters are awash in Chihuahuas.
Phoenix is, too. Maricopa County Animal Care and Control shelters received 821 Chihuahuas in the last two months, according to the Associated Press.
That’s 230 more than during the same period last year.
As of yesterday, there were 84 Chihuahuas awaiting adoption.
The shelter is offering a special deal this weekend with a Chihuahua adoption fee of only $36.
