How adorable is senior Sassy Sue in her new pjs! She’s still loving her new home & cruisin’ around the retirement community on her mom’s electric scooter…most importantly, Sassy & mom enjoy/love each other//Tina

I adopted this old man in 2012…he was almost hairless, covered in fleas & scabs. As soon as I saw him I knew he was my kind of guy. He’s still very funny & much loved. Who do you love today?//Tina

Because of You Chihuahua Rescue is a rescue located in Edmond, Oklahoma. We are a small rescue for Chihuahuas and other small breed dogs.

Time to hug the pups! Remember…even though the temps are “cooler”, they’re still in the 90s, please don’t leave your dogs outside for more than a few minutes or in your car at all!//Tina

Look who’s loving his new home…Cesar! This little guy is so lucky to even be alive & he’s sure making the most of his new healthy life. His new mom is madly in love with him. Stay happy baby boy…you are safe, you are loved//Tina

Trinket now known as Chance, is living his best life ever! He went to his new home where he is loved and spoiled rotten already. We love it when our pups are adored right off the bat. Don’t forget us!//Tina

Chappo went to his new home yesterday! His new “sister” adopted Niko several years ago & lives right next door, so Chappo & Niko will get to visit & play all the time…they’ve already become fast friends. We are very excited for this little guy who almost died. YAY Chappo…you’re going to to be spoiled beyond imagination! Thank you Linda (and sister, Kim)//Tina

08/15/2024

YAY…Cesar has an approved application. Still thin, Cesar has gained almost a pound since surgery for a severe blockage. He is a healthy, happy little guy…his true personality has really started to emerge. He’s eating really good, loves going outside & running/playing….and toys! Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible for him to have the surgery & a normal healthy life//Tina

Might as well giggle at silliness…it’s too hot for anything else//Tina

08/13/2024

Another day…another excessive heat advisory. Please be careful walking your dogs, regardless of size. Do not leave them in the car while you pick up items at Walmart or forget they’re in the back yard. Use common sense, show your love & take proper care of them//Tina

Tiny Stormie had her surgery yesterday. Now the long recovery period begins…we’ve been through this before, so we know what to expect & of course we have 100% confidence in our surgeon. Thank you for your help getting this done, please continue sending healing energy/prayer for an uneventful recovery//Tina

08/03/2024

Who knew Sid & Flo could be so much fun to watch! When they came to us they were so traumatized we could barely touch them. They are sure living their best life now! I’m so happy for these two silly pups. They landed in the best home ever for them…they are loved & safe//Tina

08/02/2024

I just wanted to update on Stormie. She was scheduled for surgery yesterday with Dr Newcomb, however he had an emergency come in (dog w/broken back), so we were rescheduled for next week. She’s doing great, hilarious to watch play & growl at the ghosts….she LOVES Trinket. She will definitely make a precious companion for a very lucky person/family.//Tina

07/29/2024

Look who’s been released & walking…very wobbly, but walking. Her eyes are still dull & blank. I set up the crib for her, so she’s comfortable….but cowers & really doesn’t make eye contact. It will take time & patience, but I think once she feels safe, she’ll bloom into a beautiful flower. When she’s feeling better I’ll have to have her clipped super short/shaved, she is matted to the bone. Please continue with healing energy/prayer that she has a quick recovery//Tina

07/27/2024

🐾NOT AVAILABLE at this time🐾

I’ve been so worried about Lala this past week, I completely forgot to tell you about Stormie! This little girl has one leg that is completely non functional. Two vets have looked at her leg, both referring us elsewhere. So we will try to schedule appt for this coming week. Stormie is a hot mess, in a good way…only 6 months old, she’s full of herself, hoarding & beating up toys. Apparently she barks/growls at ghosts, because no else sees or hears anything! I’ll update along the way//Tina

07/25/2024

I don’t have a new picture…this was the other day. Princess Lala (laa laa) is still in the hospital, there’s been little change or improvement. She’s alert, her eyes will follow, but she still can’t stand/walk, electrolytes are still off and now some intestinal issues. If you know me, you know we don’t give up…as long as she fights, we will too. Please continue to send prayers/healing energy//Tina

Sassy Sue was adopted last week & is loving her new life! She has “mom” all to herself…we always felt she’d be happiest as an only child. She’s living in a retirement community with a beautiful dog park & lots of dog friendly activities for her to participate in. Apparently she has a blast cruising to the dog park in her basket on the motorized scooter (video in comments) I can’t tell you how happy we are when seniors adopt an older dog to love & comfort each other as they both age. Have fun Sassy, we love you! Thank you Karen!//Tina

07/23/2024

Please help Princess Lala…she’s been hit by a car & has sustained head trauma. This is her third day in hospital. She doesn’t have broken bones, but is unable to stand at this point & not eating. Will you down size your lunch today to help Lala? $5, $20, any amount helps so much and greatly appreciated…every penny goes to the direct care of the dogs, we have NO paid staff. Please help us today. Lala is a tiny 5lb, 1 yr old who deserves a chance to live her best life//Tina

Cosmo is living his best life. I’m told he really enjoys the family walks (one sister in stroller). I love updates like this…he looks loved & happy//Tina

07/19/2024

Wow…check out Trinket, the little parvo pup. He is adorable & has the very best personality, he’s a hoot to watch run & play. Thank you Kristy at Ruff to Fluff, Trinket is strutting his stuff…he knows he’s a cutie & feeling good//Tina

07/17/2024

Here’s a quick update on Cesar, the pup that required emergency surgery for a blockage. He was slow to recover, but is now eating & pottying normally & becoming more active. He’s super skinny and needs some fattening up, but all in all he’s doing great. He sees our vet tomorrow to start vaccinations, h/w test & get a neuter scheduled. He’s a sweet & very social little guy//Tina

07/16/2024

Tippy went to her new home over the weekend. She’s doing really well & I’m told she’s a perfect fit for the family. Tippy has both two and four legged siblings & a mom that is awesome. I always felt that if Tippy was given a chance in a quiet home she’d bloom…who knew it would be so quick! We love you baby girl…your best life is just beginning//Tina

07/12/2024

Tippy has an approved application/home and no longer available!😊

It’s mind boggling that there’s been no serious interest in little Tippy. She is skittish at first, but if you’re a chihuahua person, you know this is pretty typical…happiest being a lap dog. She’s under 5lbs, 3-4 yrs old, spayed, vaccs, h/w test/preventative, blood work, dental and microchip//Tina

07/10/2024

Cosmo was adopted by a wonderful family! He has dad, mom, human sister & two 4 legged sisters to love him. Cosmo is such a special boy & I know he will now be kept safe. We love you big guy…its time to live your very best life//Tina

07/08/2024

Look who has been released from the hospital! Cesar is resting comfortably with pain meds. I set the play pen/crib up in my home office since it’s quiet. He has some swelling, but is able to have messy bowel movements without much effort. We were worried for a while, but it looks like he’s going to be just fine. Once he’s fully recovered we’ll have him neutered, vaccinated, h/w tested, microchipped & any other procedure deemed necessary. Thank you for the support & prayers.//Tina

ETA new pictures & info. There is some fluid building in lower abdomen. The vets are concerned about us being so far away from emergency vet care, that it would be best to leave him another day. How adorable is this little face. We appreciate the donations & prayers for his surgery/recovery.

This is Cesar (I don’t have a good picture). I was contacted two days ago about a possible bowel obstruction. Severely dehydrated & underweight, he had not been eating or drinking…the X-rays showed something, but it could not be determined if it was an object or impacted f***l matter….turned out to be both. Please throw away the rubber toys, this is the second dog (Piper) in recent months that required emergency surgery to save their life because of rubber. He came through surgery uneventfully, when I was updated by vet earlier this morning, he said Cesar has been weened off injectable meds & is now taking oral meds, he’s being hand fed & now just needs positive, healing energy & rest. I’ve asked for a lot lately & so many have donated, but if you can help us with even $5, please do. The estimate for surgery alone is $2500-$4100. Good juju is also appreciated//Tina

Keep your pups cool & safe today/tonight. Make sure your doors & gates are secure & tags on your pets. Enjoy the festivities//Tina

07/04/2024

Don’t forget to put collars/tags on the dogs…I believe more pets get out 4th of July week then any other. It’s super loud tonight where I am.

Trinket says THANK YOU for helping him! He may look like a dirty mop right now, but he has been released & feeling pretty darn good. Funny story, I was told Trinket was a female…surprise! Once he’s 100%, I’ll have him groomed, I’ll probably shave him down in the meanwhile….he’s matted. He’s going to a doll, he’s so cute & super sweet//Tina
