Chalupa is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

Chalupa is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 3-1/2 year old, 15 pound, female, Chihuahua / Dachshund mix (she’s a Chi-Weenie).

Chalupa was living on the street in Imperial Valley when she and her five puppies were taken to an animal shelter. They were transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program then went into private foster care with a trained volunteer.

Her babies were adopted. Now Chalupa needs a quiet home where she can start over. Her new family will need to help her build confidence with lots of positive reinforcement.

The $145 adoption fee for Chalupa includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Special Note:

The Teen Foster Program at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society gives teenagers 15 and older an opportunity to work hands-on with homeless animals while they earn service hours for their school or other organization. The average length of stay in foster care is 4 to 6 weeks. Training and parent approval are required.
