Hollywood made them popular, but now there’s a surplus of Chihuahuas in California, and they’re being shipped up here.
The Seattle Humane Society has received almost four dozen from owners who didn’t want them anymore.
Amanda Walde, with the Humane Society, tells KING 5 pet owners should be making a commitment to care for a pet they take on for the duration of their lives.
“It’s not like going out and buying a purse, or just something that you want to carry with you temporarily,” said Walde.
Walde hopes to find homes for all the dogs, and as a Valentine’s Day incentive, they’re slashing the adoption fee by 50 percent.
