Chihuahua Girlie needs a new home...

I am a Dog Trainer & Behaviourist with 3 doggies, GSD, Bullmastiff and GSDXBernese Mountain Dog.
I recently rescued two chihuahuas who were living in a yard :(
I have rehomed the male and he is doing fab! :) Spoilt rotten and he deserves it....Now it's only Bella left, she is lovely, fab with my kids, adores them actually and so snuggly and easy to have around BUT she doesn't like my big doggies, I wanted to keep her which is odd as I don't normally "do" little dogs...but that would be selfish, she is not happy here.
So I have had a look around here and I see many dog lovers who may be able to help..
I have many dog rescue contacts all over the country but I am not going to ask them for help as this is not urgent and they are all full to bursting, it wouldn't be fair.
Does anybody know of a lovely Chihuahua home?
I am based in North West but may rehome further for right home ( if one of my contacts who lives nearer can homecheck)
Thanks

Not an envelope but poss a jiffy bag Grin
She is tiny, bless her, I bought her a xs blue hoody as she was cold at a dog show we were at and it was falling off her, I have to put her harness on over it to keep it on properly!

A bit more info on Bella...
She is good on the lead now which is great considering she had never been on one til I got her two months ago, she LOVES her food but after being fed a poor diet she has bad tooth decay so can only eat soft food, I give her chappie which suits her really well, she is in no discomfort with her teeth and the vets were happy with her over all health.
Since being with me she has been wormed, flea treated, micro chipped and health checked.
She is a PROPER lapdog, but in my house I don't really like pets on couchs and beds so she listens to my commands when I want her down, she is v obedient.
All she wants is cuddles 24/7 so if that sounds like your ideal dog then please consider Bella.
Her only fault if you can call it that, is that she is nervous and wary of strangers, she doesnt show any fear aggression which is great she just backs away but if you show her kindly and gently that you mean her no harm she is happy for strokes and belly rubs.
She will be very comitted to her owner, she latched onto me very quickly, I think she knew she was onto a good thing to be honest!haha
Any other info needed, just ask!

Can somebody repost the link, please? I can't copy and paste for some reason.

DooinMeCleanin · 06/07/2011 22:46

lovely Bella looking pretty in pink Smile

DooinMeCleanin · 06/07/2011 22:48

My sister would love her, but lives with my parents atm, who have two dogs and are taking in a third for an old lady they know soon, so I doubt they will allow a fourth dog to live with them.

I'll certainly let my sister know and if no-one can find Bella a home she can bully her partner into looking after her until they find a house Grin

PurplePillow · 06/07/2011 22:52

Oh she is gorgeous, I am interested in her but realise there is others who are too Grin

Pm me if you don't find a home for her Grin

PippiLongBottom · 06/07/2011 22:56

Yes, she is gorgeous and yes, I am still interested. (Along with all the others!)

BitOfFun · 06/07/2011 22:56

Thanks, Dooin. I'm not sure how my friends are fixed yet, but I'll talk to them tomorrow.

thesunshinesbrightly · 07/07/2011 02:15

Would love one (sucker for all furry animals apart from things with tiny feet and beeks) but my GSD would eat her. Hope you find her a good home soon.

thesunshinesbrightly · 07/07/2011 02:17
