Chihuahua-Rama Drama
Animal Alliance is in desperate need of foster and adoptive homes, as well as monetary donations to support the care of this sudden influx of animals.
A little over a week ago, Animal Alliance was contacted late at night by the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Humane Law Enforcement to provide immediate rescue to Chihuahuas confiscated in a cruelty raid on the home of a suspected animal hoarder.
When about 85 dogs were taken from squalid conditions in a South Philadelphia home last Wednesday evening, Animal Alliance stepped in to provide shelter, food, medical and round-the-clock supportive care for some of the most urgent cases.
Animal Alliance received 26 Chihuahuas in at 2am Wednesday July 14, with another 11 received in on Friday July 16. Ten of the dogs were newborn pups, and another 4 puppies were born to a pregnant Chihuahua very soon after her arrival at AANJ. All of the puppies are now in foster care at Animal Alliance, as well as several dogs afflicted with severe mange.

The Chihuahuas were taken from a house in which animal waste was piled nearly 3 feet high on the floors in some areas. Most of the dogs, ranging in age from newborn to adult, show the effects of living in such unsanitary conditions but are on the road to recovery. All dogs except the newborn pups have already been spayed or neutered at AANJ’s Planned Pethood clinic in Lambertville, NJ.
