Why so many Chihuahuas?

Why do you have so many Chihuahuas at TLC adoptions?

There are two main primary reasons you'll find a lot of Chihuahuas at TLC adoptions each week (Moorpark PETCO, noon to 3PM):

1) TLC is completely foster based - which means that all the dogs we save from dying in the shelters live with one of our foster families. Some fosters will do any breeds - other fosters prefer to only do specific breeds, depending upon their own dogs at home. Most of our foster families are Chihuahua lovers and fanciers, so that is one of the reasons we have so many Chihuahuas.

2) Currently, the CA shelters systems are killing one dog every 4 minutes and 32 seconds. TLC's mission is to save those in greatest danger of being killed. Only the 'Pitbull' breed has higher kill rates than the Chihuahua currently... hence those dogs who are apt to die first are those you are most likely to find at a TLC adoption event.
