We will never understand why people could be so cruel and be able to sleep at night. This is Mamba and Ariel. These two little ones were dumped in a box in the streets of Long Beach some time ago. A good Samaritan brought them to his house and instead of taking them to the shelter, he started to call rescues everywhere. They did have microchips and given names. However, the owners were nowhere to be found. Weeks past and the good Samaritan got a hold of our rescue, and we welcomed these two little "dogs in the box". Mamba and Ariel were eventually adopted from us and they were cared for. Unfortunately, the owners do not want to keep them both. We would never separate them, so we have come to agreement that we will take both back. It is very obvious they are bonded, and it would be cruel to have them be apart. Sometimes this happens and our adoption contract clearly states that in the event you are not able to keep the dog adopted from us, the dog shall return to us only. We would love to find a home for these two, they are both up to date with everything, including dentals. They love to do everything together, walks, naps, play and cuddle. They are small mix dogs, mid-age. Please contact us if you are interested, they are located in the san Fernando valley where they can be fostered or adopted. We DO NOT adopt out of state. Adoption only open to Southern California residents. We do not adopt out to households with children under 10 years old. An application needs to be filled out prior to meeting any of our dogs. An application can be obtained on our website http://www.deathrowdogsrescue.com
🧠 Temperament
Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people. Chihuahuas are often wary of strangers and can be snappy if they were never taught that hands are safe — early gentle socialization matters.
🎾 Exercise
They love to do everything together, walks, naps, play and cuddle. Low — short walks and indoor play are plenty.
✂️ Grooming
Easy for both smooth and long coats. Dental care is the real priority; small breeds are prone to tooth disease.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Extremely apartment-friendly and easy to carry on the subway. They get cold fast and need a sweater most of the winter.
