"Forever Families"
Animals are placed in foster homes until they can be placed with loving "forever families" that are committed to caring for them for life.
While in foster care, Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego provides medical care for the animal so that it is healthy and spayed/neutered by the time of adoption. Because so much care is put into the rescue of these animals, Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego's goal is to help find lifetime homes for these animals and guarantee that they aren't neglected or abandoned again.

Queenie's Story
Like so many unwanted animals, Queenie was used for breeding until she got too old and worn out to produce more puppies. 
She was sold on a street corner for cash to a kind person who didn't want to see the wrong person get her. This kind person then called Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, as she couldn't keep another pet. When CRSD got Queenie, she needed a dental done and had just gotten through with her "heat" cycle. She was a very depressed little dog.
Queenie was taken into the vet office to have her teeth cleaned, having to have several sectioned out and removed. When no progress was seen in her health we took her back in to find that she had a terrible case of pyometria and would have died if emergency surgery was not performed that evening. The wonderful vet stayed late to perform the surgery and made sure Queenie was OK. We took her back home after three days of recovery. She started showing signs of feeling much better and is again now a happy girl in her new home with her new family, never to have to worry about having puppies or having aching teeth.
