April 15, 2002 Little Buddy, Cheeks Rescued from pet store May 12, 2004
Chico was born in a puppy mill in Missouri (he has papers). A lady purchased him from a Petland and a few months later purchased a female LHC (Long Haired Chihuahua) as well, with the intent of breeding them. When they wouldn't breed, she took them back to the pet store (this was 2 years later). The pet store took them back and reduced the price to $100 for the pair. Luckily a friend of mine puchased them in fear that a backyard breeder would get ahold of them and make money off of their misery. So I placed the female dog with a loving elderly couple (Raina, and she's doing wonderfully 3 years later). I ended up keeping Chico as he was the first dog that Margarita (see her profile separately) had ever initiated play. Now Chico and Rita are the best of buds. He is one of the most social dogs I have ever met. He loves people! But amazingly, we travel to pet stores all over and he loves to go in, except the one from where he came. I don't frequent Petland, as I don't like to spend my money where they house puppy mill dogs for sale. However, every once in a great while they will have a coupon for a free item. Being a rescuer, I take advantage of anything free, so I took Chico in there twice and both times he has literally "freaked out". I don't know if he actually remembers the place, or if it just has a smell of the other dogs being in distress. Who knows????
