Please help us help them with the problem we couldn’t see…When these little Chihuahuas came into our care, the first thing we noticed was obvious—their cherry eyes. We knew Matilda, Baby, and Pookie would need surgery, and we were prepared to get them the care they needed.We also noticed how thin they were. We hoped that regular meals with a mix of soft and crunchy food and a little TLC would help put some weight on their tiny bodies. But we noticed a trend in their eating habits. They were chewing awkwardly or only going for the soft food. Think about the last time you had a toothache. Now imagine having a mouth full of painful teeth—and no way to tell anyone that eating hurts. 😢Thanks to Dr. Ryan and our friends at Riverside Veterinary Hospital, further examination and bloodwork helped us uncover the problem we couldn’t see. Matilda and Baby had severe dental disease and needed multiple teeth removed, in addition to the cherry eye repairs they already needed. Pookie is awaiting his appointment so we are making sure he has lots of soft food to enjoy the best he can. And just like that, the vet bill we were expecting became a much bigger one.We need to raise $3,000 to help cover their dental care and surgeries.This is one of those times when rescue takes the collective help of a community. We didn’t know what we would find when we said yes to these little dogs. We just knew they needed some help. These dogs are so loving. They are still tentative but long to be someone’s shadow.💕Can you say yes to helping these pups? They If 300 people give $10, we reach our goal.If 150 people give $20, we reach our goal.Any amount helps. And every single donation gets Matilda, Baby, Pookie and their little Chihuahua family one step closer to feeling good, eating without pain, and beginning the lives they deserve.The cherry eyes were what we could see. The toothaches were what we couldn’t. Thankfully, now we can help with both.Donations can be made through **Venmo or PayPal @cvrrescue**, or by clicking the donate button below. Please donate if you can—and if you can’t, sharing their story helps just as much. ❤️ ...

It’s pumpkin season! Watch how patiently Scarlett and Sophia wait to enjoy their new snack. Their foster home is where they will stay, learn, and grow until they find their forever home. In the meantime, she will help them learn what it means to be part of a family—complete with three adorable human daughters and two resident pups—and learn more about their personalities. 💕Our foster homes help pups work on manners, routines, boundaries, potty training and all those little things that will help them be successful in their forever homes. Scarlett and Sophia are shepherd mixes, and they are smart, active and VERY treat motivated—which is a pretty great combination when it comes to training! Although they’re sisters, their personalities are quite different.💕 Scarlett, the smaller blonde girl, is a little more independent and chill. But don’t mistake “chill” for timid—she can absolutely hold her own during a good wrestling match with her sister!💕 Sophia, with the black patch on her nose, is our social butterfly. She seeks out attention from the other dogs and would much rather be part of whatever is happening than entertain herself.Both girls are playful, curious and active. The adoption fee for each of these lovely females is $275 and includes age-appropriate vaccines and spay. Apply at cvrrescue.org ...
