53 Chihuahuas Surrendered Now Up For Adoption In Baltimore
BALTIMORE (WJZ)—53 Chihuahuas are now up for adoption after a woman breeding them could no longer keep up with all her dogs.
The Chihuahuas were surrendered on Wednesday to the Baltimore City Animal Control who turned them over to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) to be cared for and prepared for adoption.

Jennifer Brause, BARCS executive director, said, "We take in over 11,000 dogs and cats every year, and it's situations like these that remind us even more about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. We are grateful that these dogs seem to be well cared for and hopefully we will find them homes quickly."
Officials say adoption begins today to only those who are approved.
To adopt one of these Chihuahuas, you can fill out an adoption application online and bring it with you to BARCS to get approved. In order to adopt, you must be at least 18 years old, provide proof of a current address and have a current photo ID.
