Diamond, a three year-old chihuahua that needs a good home. She appeared in my parents’ front yard in Gardena on May 11. My parents are elderly and can’t keep her but took care of her for a few days while my sisters and I tried to locate her owners (by asking around the neigborhood and posting flyers). We also took her to VCA Coast in Hermosa Beach where we found out she has a micro-chip and that she is three years old, her name is Diamond and she was originally from the Long Beach Animal Shelter. VCA Coast called the number from the micro-chip but the person answering the phone denied having a dog. Since my parents couldn’t keep her (they are elderly and had to fly to Hawaii on May 23) and my sisters and I already have multiple pets, Diamond was brought to the Long Beach Animal Shelter on May 16. We were told that Diamond would be kept there until May 30, at which time the Long Beach SPCA (next door to the shelter) would take her, providing they had room for her.

Meanwhile, we had spread the word about Diamond to co-workers and friends. One of my co-workers said she knew someone who was interested so, on Sunday, May 30, my sisters and I went down to the Long Beach SPCA and my sister “adopted” Diamond. Since she was already spayed and had had the required vaccines and shots, we paid the $125 fee and took her home that day. Unfortunately, my co-worker’s friend was unable to take Diamond. Another co-worker of mine has been taking care of Diamond but can no longer do it. We only have a few days to find a home for her.

If you can take Diamond in, please contact: Stan L. Cabotaje Phone: 310-527-4364  e-mail: scabotaje @aol.com

Lucy, Champ and Luke are all purebred Papillions we bought in 2004.  Lucy is the youngest and the smallest, about 8 lbs.  Champ is about 6 mos older than Lucy and 6 mos younger than Luke and is about 18 lbs.  Luke is the oldest and weighs about 22 lbs.  Due to some health issues in our family we can no longer provide the level of attention we think these guys should have.  

Lucy is very active and loves to play catch.  She is very happy and outgoing.  She does not seem to realize she is a small dog and has stood up to dogs much larger, always making friends in the end.  We have hardwood floors and she once wagged her tail so hard she fell over! 

Champ comes from champion blood lines and he clearly has good breeding as seen by his role in the group.  When we brought Lucy home she was just 3 lbs.  We set her in her basket when she got tired and Champ climbed in next to her and put his right, front leg over her.  Later on when she could not make it down a stair champ picked her up by the rough of her neck and carried her.  Lucy was squirming all the way.  Champ loves to run and play at the dog park and to tussle with Luke. 

Luke is the most patient dog.  Lucy will be pulling on his tail to get him to play and Luke is very even tempered with her antics.  Luke loves to have his tummy rubbed and enjoys playing with both Lucy and Champ.  All dogs are trained to walk on a leash and do their business outside.  They are socialized both with people and with other dogs.  Once Champ got out of the back yard and we found him sitting beside the gate, which had closed, waiting for us when we got home. 

These guys have been spayed and neutered, have all their shots, and have had good care from our vet.  They are very friendly even when smaller children may be a bit rough.  They are located in Manhattan Beach, California.

I don’t know if anyone remembers Little, a feral cat that I got when she was about 3 month’s old and socialized.  She was soon lost after an adoption event in West L.A. and I searched for her day and night for 2 1/2 months before I finally found her.  She has become extremely special to me and a long term foster over the past year.  Her picture is attached. 

A month ago, she developed a chronic ear infection to which I did several tests to figure out what was going on.  I finally spent $1000 to do a CT scan and x-rays and they found that she has a very big polyp growing in her ear canal that will just become bigger if not removed.  She has been walking around with her head tilted for the past few weeks.  She needs a complicated surgery called a Ventral Bulla Osteotomy which will remove the polyp and any fluid in her ears.

Foxy is doing very well since her surgery.  She plays and gets along with the other dogs and cats.  She is still having trouble with controlling her bladder so mistakes are common but will get better with time.  Since being pulled  from the shelter on the 5th of January, she has settled in quite nicely, sunning herself in front of the patio doors every afternoon.  This little dog was hours away from being euthanized at one of the highest kill shelters in Los Angeles.  You can read her bio here: http://lifesapet.com/2010/01/13/small-sweet-chihuahua-available-at-carson-ac-ida4072298/ 

Now we urgently need help with funding to help pay for her bladder surgery which has cost over $1700.00.  Could you please help us so we can continue to help more animals? Any amount is appreciated.  You can donate with a credit card here:

How I came to have Bella in my life:

I was home one night, checked my twitter page and my sister had retweeted this message from lifesapet:

Very Small Spayed Female Chihuahua Needs Rescue/Adoption At Pasadena AC and this photo: 

Something about this photo hit me in a big way. She looked so vulnerable and eager and scared, all at the same time, naked in the corner, trying to smile. I saw the tweet on Sunday, Dec. 27^th, called the Shelter on Monday the Dec.28^th, and drove to L.A. on Tuesday the 29^th and brought her home to San Diego. 

We have a 20 year old Burmese cat. Sunshine and an eight year old larger Chihuahua, Frankie, who was from a breeder/hoarder situation and rescued by Best Friends Animal Society. We adopted Frankie six years ago. Bella is very young, still a puppy in a lot of ways but she’s a good girl. We are getting her used to going for walks along the ocean and the bay in the coastal community where we live. I have an antiques business in a beach town where Bella and Frankie go to work with me each day. Bella already has the routine down. She gets a lot of attention from customers, as she sits on her chair playing with her toys or her bully sticks or sleeping. The good part is she is never alone. She loves to tuck in under the covers at night. She gets scared if I leave her alone in a room so she shadows me everywhere I go. One day she’ll understand that this is her forever home and that I’m not going to leave her. She has put on weight so her ribs and spine are no longer exposed and she’s up to a whopping 5 lbs! She doesn’t walk like she’s a crab anymore, slinking on the ground with her legs splayed out. I’d never seen that before. She hardly knew how to walk and would stumble and trip or her legs would go out on her.She walks like a little trooper now.  I read her medical records and couldn’t believe what she had been through, dumped on the street, how she made it alive, who knows? She was dehydrated, lethargic, underweight and about to give birth to one very large, deformed pup born dead. She had the still birth in the middle of the night when no one was there to help her. It was hard on her and she had wounds to heal. It’s amazing to me that she’s alive.

I love this little dog more than I can say and she can feel it. She is so appreciative the way she looks at us. She touched my heart and found her way to us via Twitter.

She loves her life today – her walks, her trips in the car to work, her sprawling lawn where she can run around free as much as she likes and do what dogs do. She loves raw bones, bully sticks, her stuffed toys, prancing when I put her in a sweater but most of all, loves to be snuggled and to give kisses. The hard part of her life is behind her. I owe a big thank you to Caryn for posting Bella’s photo on Twitter, allowing Bella to reach out and touch someone’s heart.

UPDATE 1/22 Canela is being rescued today! Her new name will be Daffodil or “Daffy”.  The people that adopted her is a veterinarian and will oversee any medical issues that “Daffy” incurred.  YAY!!
