In the shelter’s words

Meet Chillie! Chillie was rescued from the streets of Ensenada by one of our rescue partners, who lives in Baja. She is currently fostering Chillie in Ensenada, but we can make arrangements to bring Chillie to San Diego to meet potential foster or adoptive families once we have approved their application. Please submit an application online at ARWOB.org or you can email us if you have questions about this adorable pup, who is soon to be a teenager. Like most Baja mutts, she has shepherd genes, but given her smaller size and face, she likely also has the genes of breeds such as Chihuahua and/or Terrier. We anticipate that she will grow to be in the 30-40 pound range when full grown and will be a medium sized breed. If you are interested in a medium sized mutt and have the time for this young soul, please let us know by submitting an application online and we can schedule a phone call to start the process. Here is what Chillie’s rescue/foster mom has to say about her so far: Chilaquil is a personal rescue of mine. I spotted her near my house a few days prior to her rescue day. I was trying to help a different female adult dog that I had seen in the area and I engaged the help of some street vendors with a Chilaquiles cart. It turned out that the adult dog was taken by another woman, but they introduced Chilaquil to me. I had a different rescue at the time, who was almost ready to be brought to the USA, so I waited 3-4 days until I was ready to welcome Chilaquil to my house. She got along well with my other 2 adult dogs upon arrival and by the second day, she learned to use the doggy door. She now sleeps through the night in her crate by herself in the laundry room and for the last two days, we’ve had no accidents (poo or pee) in the house. I have not introduced her to the leash yet, as walking dogs in the streets of Mexico is pretty impossible because of the stray dog population, but I will work with her at home or at the local park soon.
